Infinity Ward quietly adds 120fps to CoD: Warzone on Xbox Series X - but not PS5

I wonder what their reasoning is for not having this now? HDMI 2.1 seems to be having some growing pains and even the new Nvidia cards were not working right away with 4K and 120fps.

LG have yet to fix their TVs stuttering when VRR is being used above ~80 FPS.
There's supposed to be an update on the way though.
Nah, forget 60. That's for a decade ago.
Everything should be pushing for 120 FPS modes now that HDMI 2.1 is here.
Developers do need to realize that you cannot simply unlock the frame rate with VRR though - a limit should be set to something like 40% above the average.
So if a game averaged 60 FPS you would allow up to 84 FPS with VRR enabled, rather than allowing it to range from 60 to 120 FPS.
VRR eliminates the need to lock to a perfect frame rate.
That's why it's such a big deal when targeting high frame rates like 120 FPS.
Without VRR, if the frame rate is fluctuating between 100–120 FPS, it may be preferable to lock it to 60 instead to eliminate stuttering.
With VRR, that fluctuation between 100–120 FPS is not an issue at all - it just looks smooth.
Yes, I know. I was letting him know that the game is 90 and not 120.
That is great if you have a TV with VRR. And in a few years I am sure it will be more prevelant but it is far from a common standard now and i doubt even 10% of people buying a Series X/PS5 have a TV that is compatible if it is even that high.
If you are gaming on a monitor it is more common but still not ubiquitous . I have a 1080p monitor with FreeSync and until I plug it in I have no idea if it will be compatible or not.
Most of the time, however, it will be hooked up to my TV and even then I could not say if it will work or not. It is a 2020 model it is 4K and has a 120hz mode but as far as I know it does not have VRR.
I am all for having options for future proofing. That is rarely if ever a bad thing. But I do wonder how much of the user base will even be able to make use of this. It is the same reason I understand why Sony do not currently bother with 1440p support. It is lamentable, but they clearly expect people to connect things up to a TV.
Samsung TVs support 1440p. And specifically at 120Hz, as well. I'm sure other brands do. 1440p at 120Hz with HDR works with HDMI 2.0. 4k 120Hz with HDR does not work with HDMI 2.0.
That is why people want Sony to support 1440p (as well as monitors), because it allows older TVs to use 120Hz with HDR without downgrading to 1080p. It might mean you don't have to upgrade your TV
Of course, Sony is trying to sell TVs too, aren't they? 🤔
I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to say.
It is great to have these options appearing for people with VRR displays so early in the generation.
A lot of people are buying new TVs for next-gen, and 4K120 VRR is the big new feature for gaming which was introduced with HDMI 2.1.
Even mid-range TVs are supporting it already (or will via an update) with popular displays like Sony's X900H.
This is not future-proofing; it's here today.
Samsung and LG have been supporting 120Hz VRR since 2019.
It's trivial to lock a game to 60 FPS like the PS5 version if you don't have VRR, but that's leaving a lot of performance on the table.
It looks to be running around 70–100% faster on XSX.

Well one basically gives 120 fps for free the other does not. I'd imagine Rocket League and Warzone will eventually get native next gen apps being that they are still games being actively developed and played and this was just something quick for launch.
It's so bad. I question all the members that claimed they have CX's and is running like butter.
That's so weird. On mine it's a constant and very obvious issue. It gets very noticeable when indoors. I suspect it's when a lot of geometry is culled, and the game is running at the highest frame rates.
3 Games actually.. But I disagree with the person you quoted. It's not worrying.
Edit: It's 4. Rocket league, Squadrons, CoD and Black Desert (MMO).
Xbox BC solution > Sony solution. As others and I have said for months to those saying "duh it's the same" people.

It must have because I got asked if I wanted to install in it on my ps5 when I booted Warzone up for the first time coming from a base ps4 game install on an external hard drive.
I think the Sony BC solution is far better than most expected, even though it clearly isn't as good as Microsoft's. I was expecting Sony's to be shoddy at original announcement.
On topic, this is much bigger an issue for smaller games, as you'd imagine GaaS titles like Warzone will have a native version at some point.
I think Sony did well and exceeded my expectations with their BC solution. There will always be those legacy mode BC games, but I thought less games would actually use game boost. So well done.
Have they still not sorted this? My LG screen on this game is an absolute disaster at 120hz.its bordering unplayable, any solutions other than dial back to good ol' reliable 60?
Yep. Gotta switch back to 60 for warzone. LG needs to fix their VRR flicker at high framerates as well.
lol what? a small % of people on forums care. this is a non-issue
No, it's like rocket league were the developers are going "ehhh, the PS4 version works". Shortsighted.
There isn't an optimized version of Warzone. The launcher from Modern Warfare and Cold War goes to the same thing.
War zone came out in 2020 I understand your point but it ain't old lol.
I think one is for the environment and the other is for operators + weapons.
I mean, VRR should have been there day 1. It's got me buying all my 3rd party games on XSX because of it, and I'd really like to use my dual sense triggers more often.
God, I really hope they make a warzone for PS5, I can kinda sorta see it being a mess as it already is now. We have Cold War and Modern warefare that both launch WZ and can launch the other games, so throwing a PS5 version you would think should be pretty straighforward but I know activision/sony will mess it all up somehow. Make you download all versions(PS4 and 5), or will launch the PS4 version or some shit.
I appreciate the much faster loading times on PS5, but id like, better LOD, better texture filtering, etc too. Dont necessarily need 120, but an option would be nice.
