Can't get 120hz on ps5

@imdfc_psn said in Can't get 120hz on ps5:
Does your monitor support HDMI 2.0 or 2.1?
2.0 I believe.
-
It's possible that the monitor doesn't support the edid (Extended Display Identification Data) that the system is looking for. Example could be that the system is looking for a 120hz signal but the monitor although capable of much higher fps actually has 119.98hz and not 120hz. I'm not saying that's what's going on, but it is a possibility.

Also don't use older HDMI cables.
You'd be shocked at the amount of Cat 5 cables I've replaced for people expecting high bandwidth. Cable swaps are a great diagnostic tool.
orders 2.1

Yessir I'm on performance mode.

I think you need a monitor with hdmi 2.1 to take advantage of 120 hz on the ps5

Yeah then definitely make sure you are using the right cable. One that comes with PS5 works fine. Also makes sure you have it plugged into the correct HDMI port on your monitor. Some monitors have one 2.0 and one 1.4 for example. 1.4 will not work for 120hz.

Bought a 2.1 for my new monitor. How is the game now Chuck?

Well its looking good. My FPS counter is showing it staying near 120 FPS now where as yesterday and before was hanging around 60 FPS. Now it is showing the same numbers as Series X. Si I guess they got it working right.

I think the 2.1 hdmi is more for 4k where 2.0 should be able to do 120 at 1080p

No I mean the actual port. Are all your HDMI ports 2.0? If you arent sure tell me the make and model of your monitor.
But I am sure you probably already tried another port anyways right?

Samsung odyssey g9 (non neo)
Pretty sure it only has 1 hdmi port. I can select between input port 2.0 or 1.4 in settings -

Are you talking about the Ultra Wide Monitor?
If so that's your problem. HDMI 2.0 can only do 120Hz on 1920x1080. Thats why we been saying 1080P assuming you had a regualr monitor. But Ultra Wides are WAY more that 1920x1080p. 1080 is still accurate about 1920 is the width and your is too wide to process higher than 60Hz on HDMI 2.0. Your Display Port can do it no problems but that is PC only. HDMI doesnt have enough bandwidth.
But if you can change your resolution in game to 1920x1080 you should be ok.
Edit: This guy shows an adapter that might help you. https://youtu.be/Q8nXo551_GY

Lol you're making my head spin. So it doesn't matter even if I select different screen sizes (wide, 17" 4:3, 19" 4:3, 19" wide 16:10, etc.) I'm still sol?
