My brother recently gave me a birthday gift: A Dell 27 Plus 4K Monitor - S2725QS - 27-inch 4K (3840 x 2160) 120Hz so we can play Warzone together.

No matter what I do, it doesn't seem to run 120 frames per second on this monitor.

I've looked at endless videos, articles, and blog posts.

The weird thing is that we also play Battlefield 6, and I can get it running at 120 fps there.

Why is this happening? Do I need a 144Hz monitor instead to be able to reach 120 fps? Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you.

Yep, I still have this article open actually. Let me know what you think about the following:

  1. My monitor doesn't have a gaming mode, but it is in FPS mode. It's one of the "Preset mode"s available.
  2. Did everything on the PS5 side.
  3. Warzone doesn't have the 120 Hz Refresh Rate option under the View tab (step 9).

The article also says that the screen will go black, which is actually what happened with Battlefield 6. But no option even on Warzone.

1 and 2 are good.

For #3, I had jumped back into cod a couple years ago for a single title. But I quickly learned they'd become notorious for hiding settings and changing where things were after updates.

So as general advice when looking for settings:

Find a recent YouTube video (so it's the same patch) talking about that setting, watch the video just to see where exactly they go to get to the setting.

Like, there's no way it's a setting on everyone else PS5 version and just not yours, it's hidden in a stupid way that you just haven't thought of yet, but most people would have tried first so no one mentions in guides.

Once you do that, then you'll see the black screen, it's just the GPU changing refresh rates
