VRR support rolling out for PS5 now. System level support as well as per title updates

Yeah, I'm even more confused now. I would like to know what people see in the settings menu if their display doesn't support VRR.
Didn't know that. Well I looked at a HDMI bandwidth calculator and 4k 120hz 4:2:2 at 8bit using roughly 21 Gbps, and 4k 60 12bit RGB uses 24 Gbps, so yes there is a loss. However UHD movies use an even lower 4:2:0 so it may not be that bad. Possibly you may see more banding.
I can leave it on too? Makes no difference to VRR on PS5 then?
It might not be Dolby Vision, I just remember the setting was greyed out in the XSX and when I turned off Freesync on my TV it became enabled. I am old and don't know what I am doing so forgive me :D
It shouldn't make a difference. So you can probably leave it on. But if the PS5 complains about anything, try disabling it.
Thanks, I was always curious to know if was noticeable or not
AVS Forums. I'm downloading the update now. I'll report back if it's the full 2.1 feature set.
Trying to convince my wife we need a new tv is one of my favorite challenges.
lol just after I beat Elden Ring this update comes out and it feels like a completely new game. haha
Yep. I did the PS4 version on my first runthrough. Gonna do the PS5 version now.
Ditto - time to get the platinum all over again. Now the biggest question is what build to go for.
Bloodborne shows fixed frame rate so no LFC damn. Was hoping LFC does wonders for Destiny 1 on Xbox .
I just always tell her she can move whatever tv I am replacing upstairs to replace the tv she watches the most. I'm about to replace my 65" C9 with a 77" C1 or C2 and I just said hey you can have my C9 and that was apparently good enough as I didn't get the no lol.
Ahhh yes I see that now. What was strange is that this doesn't show for all titles, even with the system level toggle set to On for all titles. I only see it appear on this info screen when using one of the explicitly VRR enabled titles (in my case CoF Vanguard). But if I start up GT7 that VRR in the info panel goes away, so it doesn't seem to actually be applying like it says it should?Sorry, i meant the circle button on the center of the remote, when you press it, it gives you info on the input.
For example here it's Ghostwire Tokyo on my QN90A, it says VRR there but not on the Game Bar.
Not sure what kind of fuckery Sony is working but my C1 is not showing VRR on but it is showing 120fps and the frame rates on fidelity mode for Miles Morales and Spidey remastered are much smoother. Clearly it's working but for some reason my LG Oled C1 isn't recognizing VRR as being on.
Bloodborne doesn't have framerate issues, it's already locked at 30FPS most of the time, it's a framepacing issues due to the cap used, VRR wouldn't have made a single difference.
Btw right now we don't even know if LFC on PS5 works at all, but people said PS4 aren't compatible with VRR anyway so that wouldn't have been working in any case.
I have a non-HDMI 2.1 receiver (Denon 2400x) and an LG c9. My PS5 (and XSX) go direct to the TV HDMI 2.1 ports, and the TV's HDMI 2 (the ARC port) goes to my receiver. Works just fine. I turn my TV to the PS5 HDMI input and the audio comes down the ARC HDMI to the receiver (receiver stays switched to HDMI 2)
its only ARC, not eARC (receiver not compatible) so I only get DD5.1 but it still sounds good to me
My Sony TV don't show VRR in display, but it work great for me.
Weird, my C1 shows VRR ON. Haven't tried Spidey, but tested with R&C and Elden Ring.
Whelp, typical Yamaha. The A4A/A6A/A8A did indeed get the 1.65 update today which supports 4K/120.
But it doesn't support VRR. Two steps forward, one step back.....
Oh well. eARC it is for now.

Don't get this? Sony advertised it would come so naturally people asked where it was?
Console is out for a while now.
It shows you the current refresh rate the TV is operating at. If you see it fluctuating, then that's a clue that VRR is engaged. It it stays stuck at a constant value, then it is running at a fixed refresh rate.
Spidey shows VRR on for me for sure on my C1. Does the PS5 video output information show VRR supported?
LG makes 42 inch OLED TVs and other brands even make 28-32 inch monitors with HDMI 2.1. You should have space for that :)
That's the disconnect though. For Elden Ring, it shows a solid 60fps but shows VRR in the info window on the C1. It doesn't show FIXED. So VRR appears to be operating.
For those that have Elden Ring and are saying its much smoother - what sets are you using and if its an OLED - what does your VRR info window show? Does the framerate fluctuate? (I asked this earlier)
It's not an actual update download. It's something Sony enabled on the back end. Try powering off your PS5, powering it back on, and check the video settings.
Nothing on my Odyssey G7. VRR control on, Freesync on & Freesync off - VRR option on ps5 just says my tv isn't supported. Thanks Sony.
I've never really bothered with that feature once my TV was calibrated. It doesn't exact solve the issue of the flickering gamma in games that are a problem anyway. I have used to on games that don't have true black levels though, but that's not really it's intended purpose.
So with the LG C series you just need to plug in a HDMI 2.1 cable and everything is ready to go. You can also press the green button on the remote about six times (just mash it) to bring up an info display that tells you if VRR is enabled on that game.
Pretty sure you need to have HDMI 2.1 for VRR to work on PS5.
Devil May Cry 5 seems fine... some dips around 40ish that doesn't cover VRR, but running at full 4K with Ray tracing is impressive.
It hovers around 40-80. Played with Vergil in 3 stages and felt really impressive.
(You have to toggle Ray Tracing graphics and high framerate)

I don't know for sure, but that can be a symptom of a bad or mis-rated HDMI cable. If you have another one to try, it's worth a shot. Higher bandwidth video signals this gen were the first time I found out some of my otherwise working cables had issues.
I will wait for the framerate analysis to come in, but unless Insomniac said they had a 120fps performance mode now I highly doubt it. I have just seen enough people point at their LG TVs fps counter when their console is set to 120hz and say, "wow, look at this frame rate!" When the truth is that it is half of what the number shows. It is possible that once it recognizes that the TV is VRR that performance RT seeks for higher bounds on the dynamic scaler if the FPS is still above a certain threshold since VRR will smooth it out which is why the FPS is lower than 60.
