I'm not surprised that anyone at samsung, Sony or code Masters took the time to properly explain the interplay between these modes. For each of the three modes what is the resolution, frame rate and ability to incorporate HDR simultaneously? What are the differences in dirt five between high frame rate mode, prioritize resolution and prioritize image quality?ī. Why do you think the television is showing 4K 120 frames per second with no HDR when the PlayStation is set to max out at 1080p?ģ. Is it possible to run dirt five at 120 frames per second in 4k and HDR and if so what are the proper settings on the PlayStation 5 as well as the dirt 5?Ģ. There is no HDR high dynamic range icon meaning it's not running in that mode.ġ. Only then in my Samsung q90t video output information does it show 3840x2160 at 120 frames per second in ultra high definition. I then restarted dirt five and enabled high frame rate mode. The only workaround for this is in the PlayStation 5 settings I changed the output manually to 1080p. when I try to change the video options in dirt 5 to high frame rate mode for 120 FPS the cars look very dark with a metallic look and you can't see them in the game. I have the dirt 5 Amplified digital edition. I own a Samsung q90t with a certified HDMI 2.1 cable. In other words, what seems to be happening is that Dirt 5 is still using HDR ‘values’ for its graphics output when you switch to High Frame Rate Mode, but the Samsung screen is no longer functioning in HDR mode because the console is no longer outputting HDR. The only way to get this mode to deliver a correct-looking image is to turn HDR output off on the PS5.
Blacks become massively crushed, bright peaks completely bleach out, and color refinement is massively compromised. As soon as you choose Dirt 5’s High Frame Rate Mode option, though, the HDR logo disappears from the TV’s info box, and the picture goes completely wrong. All looks fine initially, with 4K and HDR shown to be in play on the Samsung input info display. This game uses its own internal performance switching/HDR calibration system, rather than depending on the ‘external’, console-instigated Performance/Resolution mode deployed by Cold War. With Dirt 5, another PS5 game that supports 120Hz and HDR, the situation is even weirder.
But it just doesn’t appear to work on these Samsung TVs. What’s more, the frequencies (HDR) section of the PS5 Video Output Information screen still clearly states that you should be able to enjoy 120Hz in HDR. Yes, Codemasters and/or Samsung, PLEASE FIX. But even then, it is 1080p 120Hz *non*-HDR. (Closing the game resulted in my TV not returning back to the PS5 system menu, instead going to the Samsung 'no video source' screen I had to "blindly" navigate to the PS5 reboot/power off option.) Dirt 5 has been working in high framerate mode on port 4, for now. Somehow, last night after testing for about 30 minutes, high framerate mode started working on port 4, just out of the blue - go figure. Port 4, which as ClassyGPU mentioned, is supposed to be the designated HDMI 2.1 port on these TV's, has been extremely problematic. It works pretty regularly on my OneConnect box's HDMI port 3 (eARC), at 1080p 120Hz HDR. I've tried an unlimited number of combination of settings between my Q900RB and my PS5 video settings, tried 2 different 8K cables, tried different HDMI ports. I am having the exact same issue that you described. I posted about this issue on rtings & avsforums discussions on the Samsung Q900RB tv (my tv). Signed up on this forum just for this issue.
