- Sony consoles have a VRR problem
- The tests revealed that this is not a problem with a specific game or monitor
- There is not yet a correction, but I hope that Sony will come out soon
If you have experienced stuttering by playing games on your PS5 or PS5 PRO, you are not alone. And finally, we may know what causes it, but on this front, there are good and bad news.
Many players have noticed that when you play games that support the 120 Hz VRR (variable reference rate), there is occasional stutter. It is usually around 20 minutes to start stuttering, but once it happens, stuttering returns every 8 seconds – and of course, this regular rate adds to the distraction it causes.
Digital Foundry decided to investigate and found that the problems seem to be with the console itself rather than a specific game or another material.
As detailed in its very in -depth YouTube explanation (and shared in written form via Eurogamer) Digital Foundry discovered that this visual hiccups occurs on several different titles – including The last of us left 2,, Hogwarts inheritance,, Elden ringAnd Kingdom Come Deliverance 2.
To watch
He also found that stuttering occurred on different screens, including LG OLED televisions, a SAMSUNG mini-LED screen and a Spectrum Eve monitor. Digital Foundry even tested the same games on Xbox and Sony consoles and found that only Sony equipment had problems.
However, although Sony’s technology has been pinned as a source of the problem, which has not yet been discovered, which is why the Bégayent games.
We know that stuttering itself is because the games will work in a frequency window of smooth images (say 60 to 70 IPS), then every 8 seconds, Spike at 120 Hz. This is why this tip is happening that we do not know.
With all the signs indicating that Sony technology is the problem, it is hopeful, being repairable with a simple software update in the near future. For the moment, your best immediate solution would be to deactivate the VRR in your system settings and play with a fixed refresh rate.
It is not ideal, but it should stain you until Sony can take out a patch.
