For anyone who does any of this and gets a black screen for more than 5 seconds don't panic, your xbox will usually reset to the previous setting after 20 seconds if you don't touch your controller and answer the "Confirm change" box. As for those who still experience a bit of gaming fps frustration after doing all this try lowering your resolution down a bit. On 720p I seem to be able to block and parry like it's nothing on for honor and on 1080p not so much. Also thank you to the creator of this video, I thought perhaps this was going to explain how to bypass my xbox sayig "You can't run 120hz" which I believed was due to me not having a 4k tv. This video has made it clear to me that it actually might be my HDMI port so thank you 😁
wow bro absolute life saver, I've been having to run my series x at 60 fps now for about 8 months with constant frustration knowing I should be getting more, this is the first video that actually helped me out thank you ❤️
Awesome video, im about to play Mafia 2 (360 version) on my series X. I did these setting, and im curious what im losing by having 1080p, but gaining 120Hz? my tv is TCL 4k 60Hz. Should i keep these setting for new games released exclusive the Series X?
Look buddy,i have BENQ xl2411p 144hz monitor but that monitor does not support 120hz on xbox console just 60,so..i am going tommorow to buy adapter from HDMI to DISPLAY PORT and than i will connect hdmi cable with disolay port so i can use 120hz...When you buy monitor,important is to ask will that your future monitor support 120hz on hdmi because some gamers 144hz pc monitors doesnt support 120hz on series s/x for no rrason so keep that in mind friend
I was thinking the whole time you could only get 120fps by having the new 4K TVs. I was like if you can play 4K at 120hz you have to be able to play 1080p at 120hz. Then watching this video made me realize they kind of hidden the settings to do so, thanks man!
@@carsonross2803 thats funny cause i have tcl c725 4k 60 fps. I can setting 1080p 120hz and all games with 120fps support works with that settings. Inputs are a lot more responsive and tv works at 1080p@120hz when i check tv informations.
Hey so I got a question, so if my tv doesn’t support 120 hz could I get a HDMI 2.1 that has 120 hz and follow the steps in this video will that work or no?
you dont need hdmi 2.1 for 120hz+1080p. only for 120hz+4k. because you are okay with 1080p, i recommend the series s. research "ips 144hz monitors" that will give you the best viewing experience for your needs
Nice video! Hopefully going to get an xbox series S soon and I got a bit concerned that I wouldn't be able to use 120hz. My monitor is a 144hz will this still work?
This is really going to depend on your specific monitor but it does seem to be that you have to use an hdmi 2.1 on your monitor as well, just like on TVs. If you dont have that option which most previous monitors apparently did not then you might not be able to.
My 4K 60hz tv does the same thing. Tv specifies 60hz on the website but when I override, the TV input specifies “1920x1080 / 120p”. Pretty cool to know I can run that
Guys you may want to check your specs of your monitor. Some systems you have to use the display port cable to make this work rather than the hdmi. This is not based on my personal experience just what I’ve seen other viewers mention.. Double check your manual to see what cables are required to push the 120/144hz.
Yeah but does the series x even able to push out those frame rates? I put it on 120hz 1080p and still only getting like 55-65 sometimes 70 fps gaming on my series x.... So is it even useful?
I have 1440p 170hz monitor, but will the Xbox series x offer 1440p as an option in the settings? Because in the video the only options are 4K, 1080p, and 720p.
Oh my gosh! Thankyou so much,i am getting 120hz on my Xbox series s. You really helped out. Now i can play 120fps on fortnite! You're such a life saver
Hello! I just seen your video and thanks for the info ! I just got a scepture c32 gaming monitor that is up to 240hz capable , I have an Xbox series x and am trying to get the most out of it ? The monitor is not 4K but is 1920x1080 and is curved . I guess my question may have been answered in the vid but just thought I’d see if you knew how I could get the most from it
Dude it worked!! i was already surprised with the graphics as it was on 60hz huge difference from the xbox one s now the games is going to look and run even better. Thanks man! 🫡
I have the series x but it doesnt work i done everything you told us. I select 120 hz then my screen goes black for a few seconds and then it goes back to 60 hz can you help me fix it
and the 120hz at 1080p applies for hdmi 2.0 without issues for example i have a 1080p acer monitor that caps at 165hz will this monitor be compadible with the series x and is it better to run dp instead of hdmi?
Yes, a HDMI 2.0 runs well with the XSX and also XBS and also I don't think xbox has a display though. I have a XBS myself so I know this but I only get 1080p 120hz since my monitor doesn't suport 4K hope this helps! :)
You did a great job with the video but you should mention this doesnt work for everyones tv cause I've tried two different types of tvs and it didnt work unfortunately im gonna have to buy a monitor im a little aggravated cause i watched this video 9 times to see if i missed anything as well as trying every other different thing i could to make it allow 120Hz
Hi I have a Samsung tv and went I try 120 FPS it littery said that the resolution can’t be handle and i turn on the Xbox series S but it doesn’t work because my tv can’t handle it now Idk how to go back 60 FPS so can u help me
If it has a refresh rate over 120hz using an HDMI cable and has HDMI 2.0 or higher HDMI port, yes. Do note that many monitors which advertise 144hz+ refresh rate can only achieve this rate using a DisplayPort cable instead of HDMI. Most HDMI to DisplayPort adapters don’t work with Series X and the adapters that do are expensive.
Mine says unsupported mode and I have a 1080p tv did everything that you did the 120hz popped up I tapped on it and it said unsupported mode please tell me why if you know (:
Hey so I have a 144hz monitor and the series x but I run through my elgato! Is there anyway to get the 120fps instead of 60 whilst using the capture card mate?
Yes unfortunately I had the same issue when using my elegato. The issue In my case is my elgato can only handle up to 60hz. So I have to down grade to 4K @60hz. It’s probably not your tv/monitor that is the issue. Do you know what the max is for your elgato?
I tried this but when I go to play my screen glitches like crazy.. not useable at all. So is it because I have it plugged into my capture card and not my Xbox ?
Idk why but i have a smart tv 4k "QN55Q7FAM",i tryed the tips but it's not working for me,my screen turns black like you but afterwards, it say that the TV has lost the hdmi signal and when it reconnects on its own I always stay at 60 hz . I tryed a lot of time with different resolution but not working ,can you help me pls?
Hi I'm very confused. My Hisense U6g says it runs 4k@60hz on the HDMI ports but after over-riding settings on my Xbox, it allows me to select 1080p@120fps. The tv also confirms it. I notice better responsiveness when I'm gaming at 120hz but I'm not noticing much of a change visually, like I did when moving from 30fps to 60fps (night and day difference). I'll like to know if this is the true 120fps my TV is running, as I have never before experienced that refresh rate so I don't really know what to expect.
What about if u have a tv with 4k, but only 60hz? I have a Samsung tv and the manufacturer told me I could run 120hz 4k with the game mode they have and an hdmi 2.1 in the eArc hdmi port.
My monitor only supports 75hz, I know I won’t be able to see all 120hz but I wanted to at least see 75 FPS whenever I play games like fortnite and madden,but whenever I try to switch it from 60hz my screen goes black and says my monitor can’t support it, do I just have to buy a better monitor?
This was legitimately the only video that helped me run my series x @ 120hz. thank you very much!
Glad it helped you
