Probably something that will get patched in. I think Sony is just lagging behind on figuring out HDMI 2.1 features on both their TVs and the PS5.
I bought the Sony X900H TV in a sale last month. The first update to enable 2.1 features a few weeks back also didn't enable VRR or ALLM yet--and apparently the 4K120FPS is blurry and eARC has a lot of issues that Sony support has said they're working to fix in another update (with the VRR/ALLM to come in an update next year) per posters on AVS Forum.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
I must be very out of the loop... thought that by vrr he meant the fan noise.

They already confirmed VRR support
Sony said the PS5 will offer "support of 4K 120Hz TVs, 8K TVs, VRR (specified by HDMI ver.2.1),"
Probs just software doesn't use it yet

You can get a free adapter from Sony if you have the PSVR for the PS4.

Nope, being hdmi 2.1 doesn't mean it will have the features.

It's something Sony should have had squared away day one for HDMI 2.1 displays. Those who thought PC monitors and Freesync would be supported were very wrong.
It's not at all a cable issue, VRR works at 1080p for heavens sake.
I'm not an Xbox fan but the way MS handles video output is just better, for a system to have at all times 120hz output for improved panel response times and lower input lag.
Sony's oddball handling of PS5 120hz output treating it like HDR on PS4 as something occasionally activated if a game supports it, is telling of video engineers way out of the loop and who did not plan ahead.
Also if VRR is not mandatory as a system wide feature then many game devs will ignore it (like they did on Xbox One) so even if Sony patch in VRR some PS5 games may never support it (PS4 titles wont for sure), its still only the start so hopefully Sony sees the error of their ways before the PS5 library starts to build up.

Isn´t this because Sony, unlike MS who use freesync by amd, will use the vrr that will come automatically with hdmi2.1 (thus vrr being kind of built into hdmi2.1 from the get go and usable, im not an expert on those things) will be used by the ps5 as well as Sonys hdmi2.1 tv´s and this is still pending certification by the hdmi board what is what vincent says in the video i think?

As if many games will run over 60 fps right

You don’t need it to run over 60. If it runs at 40+ it eliminates frame drops and tearing.

4k 120hz would not be possible if they used it
There are no specific version cables.
HDMI at say a 3m length of decent quality will carry anything over it.

Doesn't change the fact that there are zero certified hdmi 2.1 cables

Still isn't certified which explains why TV sets are seeing bugs currently
but it does mean that the ps5 not support vrr isn't due to the lack of cables.

VRR is software agnostic though. It worked on XSX on titles that were base games.

Cmon folks, this'll be patched in, along with cold storage of PS5 games.

I know the X900H doesn’t currently, but that and ALLM are supposed to be added in a firmware update next year.

Depends if PS5 supports Freesync. Freesync and VRR in practice is the same, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to support just the HDMI standard.

It doesn't eliminate frame drops, they still happen, it just smooths it out and prevents tearing

Yeah I could have worded it better, by eliminate I meant made it virtually unnoticeable to the viewer.

I was under the impression that since I don’t have 2.1 then I can’t do 4k 120. Which I don’t really care about since it won’t be a feature in many games. I thought I could do VRR as long as it’s not 4k 120.

yeah, looking at what they support (which isn't much) I would also bet that they will, if at all, only support VRR as in the HDMI standard. they don't even support 1440p, which would be super easy to implement... so I have no hope for Freesync.

Sony need to hire more programmers for the ps5 OS, Microsoft are clearly ahead of them there.

He means PS5 cable, the one included in the box, wasn't certified. It won't be long before PS5 supports VRR...
VRR will be on PS5 too. It's in the official features list.

VRR is a gimmick (on consoles).
Devs HAVE to optimize for stable 30/60fps because all TVs support that, but tiny minority supports VRR or 120Hz
So, stable static modes are must, and VRR maybe for some unlocked mode
They just cant be like "yeah let the game run 25 - 150fps and vrr handles it!" When all dont have it.
And it will be patched in most likely.
How many even have vrr tv, 0.1%? Many even use 1080p tvs

have you played a single videogame in the last 10 years? variable framerates are way more common that completely locked ones.
and VRR helps mitigate the perceived stutters that come with dropped frames.

Sony said that the PS5 will support VRR. Calm down people. Think of all the bad news over the past few weeks and how they all turned out to be FUD (mostly).
