How to enable 120 FPS Mode in Modern Warfare 3

Welcome to our comprehensive guide on how to enable the smooth and immersive 120 frames per second (FPS) gaming experience in Modern Warfare 3 on your PlayStation 5. By following these simple steps, you can ensure that you're getting the most out of your gaming setup and enjoy the game at its full potential.

Before delving into the settings, it's crucial to ensure that your gaming setup meets the requirements for 120 FPS gaming. One of the key components is having a monitor with a refresh rate of at least 120 Hz or higher. This will enable the display to keep up with the higher frame rate, providing a smoother and more fluid gaming experience.

To begin the process, navigate to the home screen of your PlayStation 5.

Once on the home screen, locate and select the "Settings" menu. This menu can be identified by the gear-shaped icon.

Within the "Settings" menu, you'll find various options. Scroll down until you locate the "Screen and Video" option. Select it to proceed.

After entering the "Screen and Video" section, you'll find a list of options related to video output settings. Locate and select the option labeled "Video Output" to continue.

Under the "Video Output" tab, you'll find an option called "120 Hz Output." Choose this option to enable your PlayStation 5 to output at a higher frame rate. For optimal performance, it is recommended to set it to "Automatic." This setting allows your console to adjust the frame rate based on the supported content, ensuring seamless transitions between different frame rates.

With your settings adjusted, it's time to launch Modern Warfare 3. Locate the game in your library and select it to start the game.

Congratulations! You have successfully enabled 120 FPS mode in Modern Warfare 3 on your PlayStation 5. Now, sit back, relax, and immerse yourself in a smooth gameplay experience with a stable frame rate of up to 120 FPS. Feel free to enjoy all those intense battles without any lag or stuttering.

It's essential to keep in mind that not all players may have their PS5 automatically activate the 120 FPS setting. When launching Modern Warfare 3, you may experience a brief black screen as the PS5 adapts to the new setting. This is completely normal and should resolve quickly.

Additionally, it's worth noting that the resolution may be capped at 1080p for most applications, as only a select few support 120 FPS at a 1440p resolution on the PS5. While this may slightly affect the resolution, the improved frame rate should more than make up for it in terms of a smoother and more responsive gaming experience.

If you're not achieving native 120 FPS in-game performance, there is a simple workaround you can try. First, navigate to the storage settings on your PlayStation 5 and locate the saved data for Modern Warfare 3. Delete this saved data and restart your console. This process can sometimes help resolve any performance issues that may be hindering the game from reaching its full potential.
