![]() ![]() However, there are some other complicating factors. What does this tell us? Top-end Samsung and LG TVs are easily the best around in terms of catering for the features of the next-gen consoles. Samsung Q90T/Q95T: HDMI / FreeSync Premium.LG OLED BX range: HDMI / FreeSync Premium / G-Sync.LG OLED CX/GX range: HDMI / FreeSync Premium / G-Sync.AMD Radeon RX 5000 series: HDMI / FreeSync.AMD Radeon RX 6000 series: HDMI / FreeSync.Nvidia GTX 1000 series: G-Sync (using DisplayPort connector only).It will be less of a headache by the end of 2021, when VRR over HDMI will likely become a standard feature of mid-range TVs and higher.īut as it’s a patchwork of support right now, here’s an overview of which of the most popular high-end TV and console/GPU series support VRR. This HDMI fragmentation is also why some of the latest HDMI 2.1 TVs don’t support VRR: it is not a given just because you have an HDMI 2.1 socket. ![]() Some HDMI 2.0 devices support VRR over HDMI, but the lower bandwidth of HDMI 2.0 means it works at up to 60Hz rather than 120Hz in the Xbox One X. HDMI 2.1 is not a single standard, but a collection of technologies. Here’s where things get a little more confusing. The most tech savvy among you may wonder how that’s possible when the Xbox One X and One S are not HDMI 2.1 consoles. They use AMD FreeSync, because they have AMD graphics processors, but have also been updated to support VRR over HDMI. Perhaps surprisingly, the Xbox One S and Xbox One X do too. OK, so we already know the latest Sony and Microsoft consoles support VRR. VRR support: which TVs, graphics cards and consoles have it? While you do get G-Sync on LG OLED TVs, for example, it’s not as widespread across smart TVs as VRR. They are the proprietary techniques from Nvidia and AMD, and arrived long before HDMI 2.1. VRR via HDMI 2.1 is an important standardization of the process, because before this we had to rely on G-Sync and FreeSync instead. VRR is now part of the HDMI 2.1 standard – that also supports eARC – and is a feature of the next-gen Xbox Series X, Series S and PS5 consoles.įrame sync is no longer just for PC gaming nerds – and VRR supports resolutions up to 4K and frame rates up to 120fps, which is the current ceiling of what these consoles and the most popular TVs can output. This concept of matching display refresh to rendered frames in nothing new, but the tech levelled up recently and became far more accessible.
