Performance mode is best using a TV or Monitor capable of a 120Hz refresh rate, otherwise players can experience screen tearing. Your console settings should also have a 120Hz refresh rate output enabled. To correctly activate 120Hz on your console of choice:
a. Xbox One and Series: Resolution needs to be set to 1080p
b. Only on Xbox Series : Allow4K needs to be disabled
c. PS5: Enable 120Hz Output is turned Automatic/On
To ensure that VRR is functioning properly, it will have to also be enabled on your console settings. To correctly activate VRR on your console of choice:
a. Xbox One and Series: Allow Variable Refresh Rate needs to be enabled in console
b. PS5 : VRR AND Apply to Unsupported Games are turned Automatic/On
To avoid screen tearing you will also need to have a VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) compatible TV, or Monitor, AND a 2.1 HDMI cable.
