This doesn't boost performance. The games will still render at the same resolution they otherwise would and be scaled down or up to whatever output resolution of your display. VRR may mitigate perceived performance dips though if that's what you're referencing, but the raw performance itself is unchanged regardless of what output resolution you set the console at.

[@CryptoFrogg]

It definitely doesn't "boost" numeral performance, but it is a perceived performance boost, like you described. You gotta remember that the core Playstation/console audience is relatively casual. Being too technical is just going to get them more confused, and lead to less views.

[@sugonmaballs]

​@@CryptoFrogg The title here is outright misleading still and could have been just as sensational without the completely false statement. VRR isn't a technically complex concept either, as Sony has commercials/videos on their channel advertising and explaining it explicitly and within a 90 second video. All without claiming that it "boosts performance."

[@CryptoFrogg]

@@sugonmaballs If you think the general console audience is searching for this term in any way, I don't know what to tell you. The more "hardcore" console audience are just now learning the differences between HDMI cable types. Nothing in the PC Gaming atmosphere is technically complex. Literally nothing. But, yet PC gaming is still "nerdy", because it requires simple Googling.

[@sugonmaballs]

@@CryptoFrogg Well I appreciate the typical internet contrarian and apologist reply for the video, but it's definitely not worth my time to argue about it further.

[@Blaeeeek]

Not totally correct here. Some games have performance options that are VRR specific. Instead of "graphics" and "frame rate" as your options, some games will use VRR with the "graphics" setting and unlock the framerate, allowing a higher framerate than if you played on the graphics setting without VRR. GT7 is this way I believe. It has a 120hz option that scales down the visuals, but it has a setting for VRR where it has the nicer visuals, but uncaps the framerate so it runs somewhere between 60 and 120fps.

[@parkesy82]

@@winrargameplaysmy gigabyte G32QC is 1440p and VRR. I got it about 6 months ago and found at the time it was the best value for money monitor for ps5. The only one that size that was a bit cheaper with the same features was an acer nitro xz2. I got one of them for my son for Christmas and the screen cracked while installing it. I was holding it with barely any pressure and it went pop. So I don’t recommend them! I got him a gigabyte M32QC and the difference is the M has an IPS panel and the G has a VA panel. Don’t even known what that means 😂 but I believe my G32 is putting out a slightly better picture than my sons M. In fairness I haven’t even changed his settings at all so it might not be running at its best possible performance. But Fortnite at 120FPS and 1440p on these screens looks and feels amazing!

Nothing, they are both HDMI 2.1 Cables, that can support 4k 120hz or 8k 60hz. It's just that one uses different materials so it's a different feel/color/texture, and the length would be different as well.

[@murray821]

I personally would force VRR to unsupported games, only disable it when you encounter issues. Most of the time 58 fps with VRR looks better than fixed 60.

@@monkeyball9223 If you can see the FPS rate while playing a 4k,120hz game, check if the average fps while turning around if it lowers down the fps or it makes frame drops.

VRR does not boost fps, it just smoothes visual judder. And setting your resolution to 1440p will not increase performance either, the render resolution will always be the same.

[@ems_2810]

@@dhaisa Yes and yes. The way I understand it is that the console will dynamically lower the resolution to hit the target frames. But if it is set to 1080p and you choose performance mode it will in most cases just stick to 1080p, because it senses that it wont have to dynamically lower res to hit the target frames. Console games are usually locked to either 30 (quality mode at 2k or 4k) or 60 (dynamic frames at 2k and below), with only a handful going up to 122 or 144 frames, which is why the VRR use case is quite limited atm. Most are playing on TVs after all and not a whole lot of older ones go beyond 60.

Hey John I have a question for you or if anyone else has any input on this I'd appreciate it. So I see a lot of people like to pin youtube to the side while also playing a game. I'm just curious if you or anyone here thinks that this might put unnecessary added strain on the system? I assume it's powerful enough that it's more than capable without causing any overheating/system crashes, but like I said I have no idea. Is this something you would avoid just to prolong it's lifespan that much more, or do you think any effect it would have on it's longevity would be negligable? Is there any way to moniter the cpu usage/temp to test this out?

Honestly i don't know yet haven't tried it cause i didn't even know it existed till this vid😂

Do you NEED hdmi 2.1 or is it ok to use a 2.0 because you can play 1440p 120hz with hdmi 2.0 right ? And what is the difference between playing 1440p 120hz with vrr on and off ?

I have a 1440p 165hz hdmi 2.0 monitor and I can run 1440p @120hz just fine, however ps5 I still can’t use vrr. Idk why

[@Bricknick98]

Sony's VRR implementation on PS5 currently only works through HDMI 2.1. Some HDMI 2.0 monitors support FreeSyn/Gsync which IS a type of VRR, but it is not compatible with the PS5 since it's not HDMI 2.1. VRR means variable refresh rate, which means that the display can update its picture exactly when a new frame from the PS5 is generated. Without VRR, a 60hz (120hz) monitor displays every frame for 16.67 ms (8.33 ms). This means that frame drops are noticeable because they cause duplicate frames. If a game runs at 59 fps on a 60hz display then it will display 58 different frames for 16.67 ms each, and then the 59th frame will be displayed for 33.33 ms. The uneven frame-pacing will look stuttery on your screen. With VRR capable displays, if a game drops to 59fps then each frame will be shown for 16.95 ms evenly. This means that games that run between 50 and 60 fps, while not looking completely smooth like a solid 60 fps, will feel more responsive and smooth on a VRR display than the stuttery picture on a fixed refresh rate display.

Best explanation yet. Thank you

[@kalamity3617]

My M27QX gigabyte monitor doesn’t do VRR with my PS5 but it has 240 Hz and 1440p. Can someone explain why?? Edit update: Found out that because my monitor only has 2.0 HDMI I can’t use VRR😕

[@tmavibes]

The feature we all wanted was “make ps5 games playable on game drives instead of copying/Re downloading from the device

[@ShiggyCompPt2]

you need a nvme drive for that

John - I have the same Sony monitor as you but wanted to ask....Why are you choosing 1440p over 2160p? Does VRR not work for 1440p? When playing Warzone, what do you think the best settings are for max FPS?

[@tristan527__]

the reason of this video was for people to know that vrr and 1440p can be used at the same time 😂😂 so no 4k and vrr won’t work

[@mobel1613]

​@@tristan527__ what no ? 4K and VRR is working on the PS5 and it have been for the past 2 years, so please spread no false information

[@violentnewworld]

So freesync still isn't supported? We all need to buy monitors with vrr? Why can't they just support freesync?

[@arjanvink9361]

Since this new update i cannot use 1440p 120hz anymore. This sucks so hard! My Samsung tv has HDMI 2.0 and supports 1440P 120hz with vrr. The Xbox Series X and my pc support this features just fine. Before this new PlayStation update only VRR was not supported by the PS5 and 1440P 120hz worked just fine. Bleh!!!

[@MightyGregu]

It does you just need to accept the first couple of test screens that test 1440@60 in sdr and then hdr. During the test wait a few seconds then hit right on the d-pad and x once, wait about 5 seconds and do it again, then you should actually see the 1440@120 test screen come up. Hit yes on that as well and then just wait. The next 2 screens will test vrr at different ranges which both SHOULD work but will not because you’re on an hdmi 2.0 screen, then it’ll fault out and show what your screen can display which will not include vrr. Annoying but this should result in you downgrading 120hz gaming to 1440p while going back up to 4k for 60 hz provided you have “automatic” set for resolution and 120hz enable and 4k video data rate and basically every other video output set to auto.
