[SOLVED] Will a Display Port to HDMI cable enable PS5 120hz 1080p?

[HarryJMC]

Hi, so I recently got a PS5 and I have an ASUS PG278QR 165hz 1440p monitor and it obviously displays 165hz at 1440p, little did I know that it wouldn’t support anything more than 60hz at 1080p for my PS5. I want to take advantage of the 120hz support on the PS5, but can’t do so without changing my monitor. I wondered if i used a Display Port to HDMI cable, that would somehow enable me to play at 1080p@120hz? I know this might be a stretch but I just wanted to know as I don’t know a lot about monitors and outputs etc.

Thank you!

No, G-Sync module monitors do not support display-side scaling over DisplayPort, which means all images must be transmitted at 1440p, it will not accept a 1080p signal over DisplayPort. Since the PS5 does not support 1440p, it will not work.

Only a PC can lower the resolution to 1080p on DisplayPort on these monitors, because they support GPU scaling where the GPU will scale the 1080p image to 1440p before transmitting it.

Okay, is there anything I can do to get 120hz at 1080p for my ps5?
