1. From the Home Screen main menu, go to “Settings.” This option is located on the top right side of the screen with a gear symbol.

2. In the “Settings” menu, select the “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” option.

3. In the “Saved Data and Game/App Settings” menu, select “Game Presets” from the tab of the left side.

4. In “Game Presets,” select “Performance Mode or Resolution Mode.”

5. Change the “Performance Mode or Resolution Mode” setting to “Performance” mode.

How to enable 1080p/120Hz support for MSI Monitors on Xbox Series X and S

If you have a compatible MSI monitor and want to enable 120 frames per second on your Xbox Series X/Xbox Series S, you can take the following steps:

1. From the main system menu, select “Settings,” which uses the gear symbol.

2. In the “Settings” menu, select “General” on the left tab and then “TV & display options.”

3. On the “Display” column, select “Resolution” to bring up a drop-down menu. From there, select “1080p.”

4. Afterwards, select “Refresh rate” from the “Display” column to open a drop-down menu. From there, select “120 Hz.”

5. If you already have the game that supports 120 frames per second currently running, you may have to close and restart the software for the new visual settings to take into effect.

How to setup 1080p/120Hz support for PS5 and Xbox Series X/S on MSI Monitor

Your compatible MSI Monitor will automatically detect the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X or Xbox Series S when the console is connected to the display. It will then use console mode without any manual input on your end.

Keep in mind that the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S do not support the 21:9 display ratio. So, you will end up with black borders on the left and right side of the screen for ultra-wide MSI monitors.
