What is VRR anyway? VRR stands for Variable Refresh Rate. VRR is comparable to FreeSync and G-Sync. It allows for a variable refresh rate, preventing frame tearing.
VRR requires HDMI 2.1 support from your TV or monitor. If your monitor supports VRR, it can adjust the screen’s refresh rate dynamically with the graphical output of the PS5 console. This allows the console to set the frame rate between 30 Hz and 144 Hz freely and thus avoid disruptions.
For you as a gamer, this means a much smoother image playback and fewer artifacts in the image.
