There is also another “High Frame Rate Mode” toggle. This is only available when the console is connected to his HDMI 2.1 port and a display with a 120 Hz panel. If your TV also supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR), its HDMI 2.1 feature will work automatically. War God Ragnarok As long as you have it enabled in your PS5’s system settings.

Technically, another situation is available, a Sony representative said after contacting Polygon last week. War God Ragnarok On the PS5, backwards compatibility gives you the PS4 Pro’s quality mode resolution (1440p to 1656p), but doubles the performance to a locked 60 fps.
Spent dozens of hours combined on the PS5 version of War God Ragnarok Here at Polygon, we can definitely recommend Favor Performance mode regardless of your TV settings. The responsiveness advantage is undeniable. Performance mode also drops the resolution from native 4K in resolution mode to a minimum of 1440p, but the image quality remains roughly the same.

PS5’s performance mode is a great way to play in its own right War God Ragnarok, but if you have an HDMI 2.1 display that supports HFR (i.e. 4K/120 Hz input) and VRR, the combination offers a definitive experience. With HFR enabled, the game will run at 1440p, removing the 60 fps cap. VRR eliminates jitter by synchronizing the refresh rate of the display to the frame rate. This allows games to be enjoyed at frame rates typically between 80 and 90 fps.
