May Xbox One update adds 120Hz gaming and variable refresh rate
The May update for the Xbox One Microsoft is adding 120Hz support on select console models. The 120Hz capabilities should bring a bit smoother gameplay and faster reaction times towards gamers, of course, you're going to need a monitor and TV that that supports this refresh rate.
The 120Hz mode is, however, limited to 1440p and 1080p displays for now, also you'll need either an Xbox One S or Xbox One X. Of course, true 4K gaming at 120Hz on your Xbox One S or X is far and away of course due to graphics rendering power.
-- Microsoft -- Today the May Xbox One update arrives for gamers around the world. As part of our ongoing effort to continually improve the Xbox experience, we’ve got a feature-packed update that enables you to get even more out of your console with some exciting new features. Console owners already enjoy variable refresh rates, the option of 1440p resolution, and auto low latency mode. In this update, we’re adding support for additional panel refresh rates. Gamers using monitors and televisions that support a 120Hz refresh rate can now turn on 120Hz support for 1080p and 1440p output resolutions on Xbox One S and Xbox One X. This high refresh rate option means you can now take full advantage of displays with 120Hz capabilities. High refresh rate support can provide a smoother gaming experience and lower latency on some displays, and games may benefit from reduced tearing and stuttering via 120Hz output.
Gamers will also enjoy the newly introduced support for variable refresh rate output to AMD Radeon™ FreeSync and FreeSync 2 compatible displays. AMD Radeon™ FreeSync is a form of variable refresh rate which helps to reduce input latency and minimize display stuttering, delivering a buttery-smooth visual gameplay experience in your favorite games. The entire Xbox One family of devices will work with FreeSync-certified displays. Xbox One S and Xbox One X will also support high dynamic range with AMD Radeon™ FreeSync 2.
| Xbox model | One | One S | One X |
|---|---|---|---|
| HDMI | v1.4 | v2.0 | v2.0 |
| FreeSync | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| 120 Hz refresh | - | Yes | Yes |
In addition, Xbox One X and Xbox One S now support output at 2560 x 1440 (1440p) resolution for games and media. With over a million and a half more pixels than 1080p, this resolution offers even more choice between Full HD and 4K displays. This feature should be especially appealing to Xbox One owners who use a 1440p display for PC gaming. Media apps can now add an option for 1440p output for on both Xbox One X and Xbox One S. Developers can also now enable games to run at a native 1440p resolution on Xbox One X.
You can enable all these video options from the Settings menu on your Xbox One. Just navigate to “Display & Sound,” then “Video Output.” Note that you’ll only be able to turn on these settings if your TV or monitor supports them.

Xbox One is a platform now, not just limited to one console.
The thread title is about Xbox One though.

This is nice addition, but it won't change a main issue ... that there is not enough interesting games only for Xbox console.

That was a Sony dev talking about The Order 1886 (Ru Weerasuriya from Ready at Dawn Studios - SOURCE). Thankfully no one connected to Xbox has tried to make that argument (that I know of).

The XB1X is more powerful than you think, it's capable of running simple games like Rocket League at 1080p/120fps.
If the video card Gods didn't grant me a 1080 Ti I might have said fuck it and bought a One X.
Xbox actually does have hardware capable of that? I don't think so

Ever heard of HDMI 2.0
a lot of TVs that uses Samsung and LG panels can display 120hz 1080p or 1440p using hdmi 2.0 port you know...
I dont think this is possible with a hdmi cable. My gaming monitor only uses 144hz with either a display port or dvi port. LMAO the xbox one struggles to even get 60 fps and 30 fps how are they going to get more fps

There is no more interesting game only for one console only right now exept on Nintendo... Even on PS4.
Time have changed (again) and people want to play the same game on PC, Console and smartphone.

Why are you talking and spreading false info, stop talking about info you do not have any clue about.
HDMI 2.0 is capable of 240hz on 1080P without problems.
In order for you to achieve 120+ on your HDMI cable the GFX AND MONITOR needs to have HDMI 2.0 certification, THAT IS BOTH NOT JUST THE GFX.
Monitors example the BenQ xl2450 has been out for 2 ½ years and back by then it WAS and still is able to achieve 240hz on HDMI 2.0 input/ouput, in fact I have 3 of those monitors as my setup and guess what? All run 240hz via HDMI.
Understand the pixel clocks, and understand the hertz

I give MS an A for effort here. But I do not see this working out. They can barley do 60 fps at 1080p let alone 4K.
Maybe @ 720p or 900p. But certainly not at 1080p or 4K or even 1440p.

Consoles will always be behind PC obviously, but there's no reason not to celebrate consoles getting better. A healthy console ecosystem has positive benefits for PC gaming.

Nice, maybe now they will support some devs to make some awesome games on that hardware. Useless at the moment sadly. PS4 PRO leads by far.
