Last Updated on December 27, 2021 by Asif Iqbal Shaik

With the exception of movies, a high frame rate is a great addition to most types of content. Especially, in video games, a higher frame rate can get rid of undesired effects such as ghosting and choppiness. In addition to boosting visual fidelity, high frame rates (higher than 60 frames per second) provide a competitive advantage in multiplayer games such as accurate hit detection and lower latency. The current-generation gaming consoles such as Sony PlayStation 5, Microsoft Xbox Series X, and Microsoft Xbox Series S pack in enough power to run games at 4K resolution and 120FPS (Frames Per Second). If you are lucky to get your hands on these gaming machines, here is the list of PS5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S games with 120FPS support that you can enjoy:

System Requirements For 120FPS Gaming: TV Specifications To Look Out For

• Support for 120Hz refresh rate at Full HD or 4K resolution
• Variable Refresh Rate with support for AMD FreeSync
• Auto Low-Latency Mode
• HDMI 2.1 ports

Just because your gaming console is capable of running games at 120FPS doesn’t mean that all games in your library will run at high frame rates. On both the Xbox One X Series and PlayStation 5, game developers are required to specifically bake in the 120fps support. Most of the time, this comes at the cost of resolution. Many games get capped at Full HD resolution (1,920 x 1,080 pixels) as soon as you switch to the 120FPS setting. A few titles do support 4K quality at 120FPS. However, these games need you to hook up your compatible TV over HDMI 2.1 cable that offers higher bandwidth.

For high frame rate games to work well, your TV needs to support high refresh rates. For those who get confused between the two. Frame rate is the average at which your system churns out new frames per second. On the other hand, refresh rate is the number that denotes your TV or monitor’s ability to complete a number of refresh cycles to check for new frames every second. Ideally, a panel’s refresh rate should be in sync with the gaming system’s frame rate. In simple words, those 120 frames pushed per second by your gaming console are pointless unless your TV is capable of completing 120 refresh cycles every second (120 Hz).

For the best 120fps gaming experience, you need a TV that has a 120Hz refresh rate, HDMI 2.1 ports, auto low-latency mode, and support for AMD FreeSync.

What Could Go Wrong When You Have An Incompatible TV While Playing 120FPS Games On PS5 & Xbox Series X | S?

If your display’s refresh rate is less than 120Hz, not only does the additional firepower required to churn 120fps get wasted, but you also have to put up with the undesired screen tearing effect. This is usually caused when the system’s frame rate is almost double that of the display’s refresh rate. For instance, if a display is fed 120 frames per second but can only complete 60 refresh cycles, the frame switches to the next one while TV is still in the middle of its refresh cycle. To better understand this artefact, check out the image above.

Going by the image, you can see that the bottom half of the image looks as if the object has moved forward. This happens because while the TV’s refresh cycle hits the midway point, the frame has already progressed on to the next one. The screen tearing effect is present even at higher refresh rates. However, it is less noticeable at 120fps or 120Hz and above. If you need help choosing the right TV, check out our list of best gaming televisions.
