This doesn't seem to work right. If I enable favor resolution it only outputs at 60hz with VRR, so you're not getting 40fps outputted at 120hz, you're just getting anywhere from 30fps to 60.
Edit: Never mind. I see Balanced is at 40hz in the notes. That being said, I'm seeing alot more pop-in that I don't think was there before. Seeing foliage and people stream in affects the image quality.

Favor Resolution should still be 30 FPS.
Only Favor Performance is uncapped with VRR.
Use the balanced option not res or performance if you're looking for 40
Yes, it's not a question. Just wanted to share the options I see available. I just didn't see a specific HFR option. As another user pointed out it seems it's set to trigger when using the Performance mode in a 120Hz/VRR set.
Since they are pushing beyond 60fps,i'm guessing there are gonna be some sacrifices. IIRC it was already a dynamic checkerboard 1800P with some great Anti-aliasing in perfomance mode so how is it now?
Is it blurry or is the image still as good as quality mode when it is shooting for higher fps? I assuume the DRS is gonna be hella agressive.

A bit of topic but I have to vent: As an X900h owner, I am so pissed off. The 40 fps and VRR modes are so good and hopefully going to become the norm for many first party titles but I won't be able to enjoy them because Sony blatantly lied when promoting the tv. It only resolves 1080 horizontal lines in 120 Hz, making the resolution increase pointless and on top of that VRR disables local dimming leading to crappy HDR and poor contrast.
Sorry for the rant.

I'm glad this patch is out, but goddamn it I wish this had been at launch.
I basically played the worst version of FW at launch.
No more buying or playing games at launch for me I guess.
Same.
I mean as an option it is certainly better than 30 - if the graphics and IQ are more or less the same.
But the difference isn't huge, and to me 40 feels and looks a lot closer to 30 than 60.
Not really. The game was locked 60 basically which means that there were some performance headroom left. By unlocking from 60 and using VRR in 60-120 range you're basically using this headroom without any impact to IQ or graphics.
It only cuts resolution when the engine can't render the scene at 60fps without DRS. That will still be the case. 61+ fps should only happen on the scenes where the game was running at 60fps before the patch, since the game might have been underutilizing the GPU in those cases.
Can you elaborate? I thought DMC5SE was superb, and I'm not aware of issues with RE.

So if I want 60hz with better dynamic res scaling and not HFR, I need select performance mode and to turn off VRR?
At least you weren't spoiled about the locations like I was when going through the OT for impressions...
At the moment, only OLED TVs offer VRR and 120 Hz support without distorting image quality to a significant extent by lowering contrast. The X900H isn't the only LED-based display with this shortcoming. Local dimming and VRR at the same time seem to present too much of a technical challenge.
I am grateful people like him has been complaining since launch, I feel like this game have improved so much only because of our consistent complaints in Twitter and Reddit.
The game didn't look right at launch and there was so much people defending it, it was ridiculous
You kinda imply that the developers just didn't care. I think they know very well what needs some additional work, it's just very likely that various graphics fixes and modes got kicked down to priority list because of other (probably actual game breaking) issues.
So if VRR is enabled is the 40fps mode an unlocked framerate with a 40fps floor or is it a 40fps lock?
Honestly, after trying the 40fps mode in R&C I'm not really as high on it as the DF crew seems to be. I mean, it's nicer than 30fps, but I don' think it approaches 60+ in any way like they kind of imply in terms of smoothness.

To me, 40 fps is the point that gets you over the jerkiness of 30 fps, so I really appreciate such modes popping up here and there in PS5 games. What I do wonder is if Balanced and Quality look exactly the same in terms of Resolution? Haven't tried the game yet, but do particle effects at least continue look good on Balanced? That one continued to have a really low resolution look in Performance even after the latest patches
If I have to guess based on the patch notes
VRR uncapped frame rate, also lower the fps target to like 55fps or anything higher than 48fps to keep VRR engaged in 60hz VRR display.
HFR 120hz display enable 40fps mode and lift the fps ceiling from 60fps to 120fps.
easiest way to check is to simply bring up the weapon wheels. In the previous performance mode, the DOF for distance objects are the most obvious differences in image quality reduction. It has a lot of shimmering probably due to the checkerboard rendering artifacts

I will play devils advocate here, if they hadn't push VRR game by game we would never have any of those 60+fps modes. Maybe one or two games sprinkled here and there, but now we have 2 Sony first party studios pushing the option of 60+ unlocked modes.
It would be just another system option, one that *might* smooth games with bad perfomance.
Im good with the 60Hz mode for now but options are always good. Good to see great support by Gorilla.
lol I knew I made the right choice waiting to play this, I've had it sitting around for a few months
I have the option to play 40FPS mode with my LG CX, but I am curious about the responsiveness/input lag compared to 60FPS mode.
Would both modes be similar in terms of responsiveness?

Please let me know if you see any improvements.
Awesome work, GG! I'm looking forward to my first play-through.
Question though... I played through Spiderman a month ago on the PS5 with the 40fps/120Hz mode enabled (VRR off). The benefit of doing it that way over Performance mode was an increase in population density in the city, as well as ray-traced reflections off of surfaces (like building windows and the like). The player also enjoys an improvement in resolution, of course.
For Horizon:FW, what are the significant improvements in Balanced mode besides resolution when compared to 120fps Performance mode? The reason I ask is because the June patch for this game had everyone crowing about how close to Resolution mode everything besides resolution looked with 60fps Performance mode (the shimmering was fixed). The game doesn't have ray traycing, and if activity density is about the same in all modes, what are the best reasons other than resolution to pick Balanced (40fps/120Hz no VRR) over Performance (120fps, no VRR)?

I will say that the 40 fps mode doesn't feel like Insomniac's output with R&C or either spiderman.
It really sucks that the VRR is not implemented on a system wide level with LFC. Don't think guerilla did anything with LFC and just locked the 40 fps mode where in R&C it's unlocked and absolutely incredible.
to me there is no better option than the performance mode at this point IMO.

I love these 120fps VRR patches just for the "future proofness" aspect, even if you're not really seeing more than 65-75fps currently. 100-120fps on a PS5 Pro/PS6 is going to be glorious.
Yup. It pains me that more ps4 games didn't give any unlocked frame rate option.
60 would be faster of course. Some games have more latency than others but here is a nice little comparison Leadbetter did with Rift Apart
