Hello guys. I want to buy an ps 5 or x box x series but i have my tv on 50 hz and i know that thous consoles are able to run on 120 hz. Is this game require more that 50 hz tv or do i need to buy a new tv for the game to run smooth. Thank you!
The game won’t support 120hz on launch and even if it did it wouldn’t make much of a difference in a game like this.
pretty sure 120 hz is for most fps games and instead of guessing try your tv out on the server slam may 12th-14th gives you a whole month afterwards to figure rather to buy another tv or not.
Not even most fps… most are 30 to 60fps and you want the htz to equal you fps.
For the op… the most important thing for next gen hardware on a TV is a 2.1 hdmi port and VRR support. That doesnt mean older TVs cant image the game. It just wont be as high a framerate or have many of the post processing effects active.

The big ones are 60 standard with 120 support. Redfall is an outlier launching at 30 fps.
But like others have said, it won’t really matter on a game like this. A Stable 60 is plenty fine for this game on console.
Bf 2042 doesnt have 120 support, cyberpunk doesnt, starfield wont… there are actually alot of games that dont support 120 fps or if they do they drop the resolution down to 1080p.
But ya 120 htz is not needed for most games. If money isnt a option then by all means go for a highend Oled TV. If money is a issue then a hdmi 2.1, 60htz VRR tv will be just fine.
Well thats a part of why BF2042 was trash. Cyberpunk isn’t multiplayer oriented. Starfield is a space RPG… and knowing bethesda it’ll be lucky if its a stable 30 fps not littered with hundreds of bugs left to the community to fix through modding.
Fortnite, Cod, Halo, all have 120 support. Apex was supposed to get it with the next gen update, but thats respawn for ya. Takes them forever to do anything and look at how Jedi Survivor launched, typical respawn. Overwatch also has it. All of the big multiplayer shooters that the developers have half a brain, minus apex, have 120.
Destiny 2 has 120 support for PvP as well, forgot that.
That doesnt change the fact the majority of games dont have 120 fps modes. I never said a specific genre. It was general statement. Of course competitive games will have a higher percentage of 120 mode games.
Its no different then last gen games going from 30 to 60 fps. It takes time for it to mature.
Thats redfalls issue… the tech/programing they used was last gen and there having issues with it. Though not being 60 is rather mind boggling given its on UE4
We really havent seen truly next gen games. At least not until the first crop of AAA UE5 games come out. Series X/S is sitting on hardware accelerated RDNA 2.0 and nobody is really taking advatage of it becuase they still using old gen game engines.

Aye, I think we’re just now beginning to see the shift towards abandoning last gen, which is overdue, but alas, covid lengthened that.
I’d say the Horizon expansion is probably the closest thing we’ve gotten to a truly current gen game thus far.
ehh was just something i read when checking about ps5 settings they say that about 120 hz
and i mean first person shooters not actual fps
I dont think anyone is talking 120 FPS. It’s 120 Hz (refresh rate on tv) That OP mentioned.
You cant do 120 fps unless you have a 120htz tv. So the only reason you need a 120htz tv is if you are planing on using 120fps mode

Which really only matters on competitive first person shooter titles anyway. Although I love playing anything at 144, just looks so smoooth.
Best bang for your buck for gaming TV right now is the Hisense U8H tv, the 2023 version called the U8K will be coming out in a couple weeks and will be a bit better.
Not true at all. Games like Horizon Forbidden West and God of War Ragnarok use 120Hz to give a higher resolution 40 fps mode instead of being locked to 30 fps. If you don’t own a PS5 with a 120Hz TV I’m not sure why you’re even commenting. PS5 owners already know that console games aren’t hitting 120FPS anytime soon but 120Hz support is still useful for enabling 40fps mode and reducing input lag. Also VRR support is from 48Hz to 120Hz so without 120Hz mode VRR won’t work if FPS goes below 48. With 120Hz mode you get VRR support at 40FPS with an enhanced 40 fps mode.
Well your wrong as you can have vrr at 60htz.
Oh and there are many games mainly FPS games that are 120 fps on console.
I never said VRR isn’t supported at 60Hz… I literally said it’s supported from 48Hz-120Hz including 60Hz…
If you have a 60Hz TV or play a game that doesn’t support 120Hz, VRR literally won’t work at less than 48 FPS
The one downside to 120Hz and VRR on PS5 is that PS5 doesn’t support the full 48 GBPS bandwidth on HDMI 2.1 at the moment though. That means that if someone uses 120Hz for a fidelity 40FPS mode or something they have to use YUV instead of full RGB.
But you dont need a 120htz tv for a ps5. You can use a hdmi 2.1 60htz tv with VRR… well you dont technically need vrr right now but its helpful.
So what i said is accurate you dont need a 120htz tv unless you are planing to play 120fps games. A 60htz VRR 2.1 hdmi tv will work just fine. As far as im aware Diablo 4 doesnt support 120 fps anyhow.
A LG oled is hard to beat (or a sony oled, etc). 4k, 120hz, VRR, huge contrast, perfect blacks, hdmi 2.1, low input lag. If you can afford it you won’t be disappointed!

Ya the LG OLEDs are some of the best on the market. Expensive though. The Vizio P Series isnt bad as well for a oled gaming TV.
