I spoiled myself with a 65" LG OLED C9 TV. Game looks amazing HDR 4K etc. It offers Variable Refresh Rate or VRR over HDMI as part of the HDMI 2.1 standard and currently VRR is available on Xbox One S and X.

 

Buttery Smooth, no stutter, or screen tearing at 4K 40-60FPS range is offered. At 1440p 40-120fps is offered. Enabled in Display & Sound, Video Output, if you have the capability.

 

BUT, the game developer needs to uncap their game to offer the benefits of VRR for buttery smooth gaming. PC offers this option but I believe Xbox is locked at either 30 or 60fps at 4K, leaning towards 30 in WoT Console. 

 

Please make your game certified for VRR Variable Refresh Rate so we lucky owners of VRR over HDMI, Freesync over HDMI Monitor users, can benefit.

Isn't  the game locked at 30fps to stop an advantage for newer consoles?    I'm not sure why last gen has the advantage of knowing which bushes are real or not though,  seems like an advantage to me.

I think this is what they said.  It's capped at 30 so the older consoles won't be at a disadvantage.  Not sure if they actually said that, though.

 

PC has no such cap.  You play on an old piece of crap system, you have to play with lower settings.  Should be that way on console.  New systems should get better frame rates.  360 players get catered to so much on this game.  It makes me think PAINGOD only plays on 360.

OP, you seem to know what you're doing, so can I ask a question? It's about HDMi Arc. I have a blue Ray player with built-in surround sound and the usual speakers. Tv has HDMi arc. So if i hook both with an HDMi cable I won't need an optical cable? And I should get tanks in surround sound?

I will give him credit for MechAssault.   I loved that game back in OG Xbox days.  I didn't have the ability to play online at the time, but did some really cool local system link games with split screen.

Only when I visit my parents. We have to stop whatever we're doing at 5 and 10 pm to watch the local news. Usually one hurries into the room and yells something about the news being on.

I have a similar set up with regards to stats, except for the OLED, as I have the non O previous version 4k. A word of caution....

 

I had a One X where the video died (MS replaced it thankfully) but with the new unit I still get a screen that every 6-8 weeks flashes to a blank screen for a couple seconds, and then that happens more and more frequently. I tested to make sure the TV was ok (using the trusty PS4!), and it was, checking the TV settings and the cords, and then tested my way through all of the video settings on the One X - switching them from one setting to another or on then off - did a couple hard resets and the issue seems to go away. 

 

Not a resolution, as I dunno what I did that resets/fixes it, but as mentioned, the One X has faults with the video. Hopefully yours will be trouble free.

The black screen happens sometimes on my 4k.  I switched HDMI ports on my TV and it mostly went away.  Still happens but much more rare.

Yeah i get that also. Plus switching between 4k channels on the Virgin media V6 box. Xbone X powered down yesterday after that black screen thing and was only going to view the community feed. Seem to have been an update for when the WOT login video starts and the Xbox one x powers down. Touch wood hair Woods better.

Yep - tested everything on PS4 and switched cables all over the place one the 1X so I looked like a monkey eating spaghetti, but so far this is the only way mine seems to sort itself......almost like a buffer or something fills and has to be cleared.

 

Better this, I guess, that tromping downtown into DC traffic and angrily begging MS store for a replacement again.

 

Ibrox, I know from previous interactions you are Scottish, but how are the English reacting to their win to move to the finals?
