XBox Series X frame rate

If you are playing Xbox One games on the Series X, you are not going to see much of a difference except for frame rate. When you get Xbox Series X games, then you will see a lot more difference.

Hi,

High refresh rates on Xbox Series X/S and even on Xbox One S/X provide two functions.

On Series X/S where a game supports a 120 fps mode, a high 120Hz connection facilitates that frame rate. If your display can't do 120Hz, you can't play a 120 FPS supported game. But, there is a possibility that a game may not be able to hit its intended
frame rate all the time and may drop frames. This is where VRR (variable refresh rate) via FreeSync and 120Hz come in by smoothing out the dropped frames and eliminating screen tearing.

But you don't need to change refresh rate to play a game that is locked to 60 fps. You can still keep your refresh and it won't affect your gaming experience. As I stated earlier, you can only get a 120 FPS on games that support that frame rate. The high
refresh will just make the experience smoother. It's up to developers on how their games perform on the console just like the options available in Dirt 5.

While the Series X can do 4K 120Hz with newer HDMI 2.1 displays you won't see many AAA titles doing this as it's way too demanding for the system.

You are correct that I can select it within the game menu but on Forza if I change to quality mode it has incredible judder.

Therefore the option to set this in the the setting on the console should force the software to output at 30fps. Or is it time to invest in a new tv?

Oh, I understand what you are talking about now. Apologies..I misunderstood.

If you are getting a lot of judder on quality mode, then I'd say it's more likely to be your TV.....I ran Quality Mode from pre-release till a couple of weeks ago and never had any issues graphics-wise. However, my TV is only just over a year old. Could be your TV if it is an older model, could be some setting somewhere

You should be able to switch between the 2 modes in the video settings within the game....I changed from quality mode to performance mode a couple of weeks ago (for reference I use a Series X)

What happens when you go to the graphics setting in the game and try to change it? Is it not giving you an option?

I would point out that quality mode really isn't any better than Performance mode (in my opinion)...when I switched, I didn't notice any difference in the graphics or at least not enough to make me think "Oh, I must change it back). However, there can be a big difference in lap times etc...when I switched, I gained around 1 second for every minute I was driving which, in Rivals where I spend a lot of time, is crucial.
