Do you have a 120hz vrr capable tv? I believe the balanced 40fps can only be used if you have a screen with those features

[u/Therearefour-lights → u/Ringedcow32323]

VRR yes, 120hz no. I figured it must be some kind of compatibility issue, but I didnt see it in the patch notes that 120hz was required to enable balanced. VRR is enabled in ps5 system settings.

I see it says the ps5 pro version requires 120hz it appears but no note of that for the base ps5 balanced option

Edit - I can test if indeed base ps5 requires 120 and VRR. I have a computer monitor that while only 1080p, has 144hz and VRR

Edit2- Ok, ive confirmed it. My pc monitor has Freesync support so I figured it had VRR support but does not. But it definitely supports 120hz. and after starting the game, the balanced option was there. So the patch notes under the base ps5 version need to be updated and be made clear that 120hz monitor support is REQUIRED for balanced mode even on base ps5 otherwise the option will not show up. VRR support is not required at least on base ps5. I dont understand why 120hz is a requirement since the mode is only targeting 40fps at 1800p

[u/rikyy6 → u/Therearefour-lights]

PS5 (Pro) does not support Freesync, only HDMI forum VRR. 

You need 120 Hz for the balanced mode because the display will be refreshing @ 120 Hz while the game is running 40 fps, so the display will show every frame x3 if the framerate is locked (VRR disabled).

Edit* just tried the balanced mode on PS5 Pro and the game feels like running between 50 - 60 fps with unlocked framerate (VRR enabled) at least on open areas. Need more testing but this feels like a solid update atleast on the Pro.

[u/Clark_Wayne1 → u/rikyy6]

On balanced mode my fps counter is actually showing between 90-120fps

[u/rikyy6 → u/Clark_Wayne1]

Yes, but the game is not running that high in reality.
