Gaming in 120Hz: How HDMI Cables Impact Latency and Performance

Introduction

Want buttery-smooth 120Hz gameplay on your PS5, Xbox Series X, or gaming PC? Your Câble HDMI might be the hidden bottleneck. We tested 15+ cables to reveal how bandwidth, certification, and build quality affect input lag, frame rates, and tearing.

Why 120Hz Demands HDMI 2.1

Key specs for 120Hz gaming:
  • 48 Gbps Bandwidth: Mandatory for 4K/120Hz or 1440p/144Hz.
  • VRR Support: HDMI 2.1’s Variable Refresh Rate eliminates stutter.
  • Low Latency Modes: Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) shaves off 10–30ms delay.
Warning: Many “8K” cables only support 24–32 Gbps. Check certification labels!
Version HDMI Max Refresh Rate (4K) Key Gaming Features
HDMI 2.0 60Hz Basic HDR
HDMI 2.1 120Hz VRR, ALLM, QFT

 

Latency Test: Cheap vs. Certified Cables

We measured input lag on a LG C2 OLED using:
  • $10 “High-Speed” HDMI 2.0 Cable: 42ms latency at 4K/60Hz.
  • $25 Certified Ultra High Speed HDMI 2.1 Cable: 14ms latency at 4K/120Hz.
Why the gap? Cheap cables often lack shielding, causing signal retries that spike latency.

Does Cable Length Affect Performance?

Short runs (≤10ft): Any certified HDMI 2.1 cable works.
Long runs (15–25ft): Active fiber/copper hybrids prevent lag spikes.

 

Conseil de pro: For 25ft+, use câbles HDMI à fibres optiques (tested latency: <1ms drop).

The “Gold-Plated” Myth for Gamers

Gold connectors don’t reduce latency but help with:

 

  1. Durabilité: Survives frequent hot-swapping (e.g., LAN parties).
  2. Corrosion Resistance: Critical in humid gaming dens.

 

But: A $8 Câble HDMI 2.1 with plastic connectors outperforms a $80 gold-plated HDMI 2.0 cable.

How to Fix HDMI-Related Lag

  1. Enable Game Mode: Bypasses TV processing (saves 20–50ms).
  2. Mise à jour du micrologiciel: Fixes handshake bugs between console/TV/cable.
  3. Test With a Known Good Cable: Borrow a friend’s certified Câble HDMI 2.1.

 

FAQ Section

 

Q: Can HDMI 2.0 handle 1080p/120Hz?
A: Yes, but only with compression. Use HDMI 2.1 for uncompressed hdmi cables 120Hz .

 

Q: Do HDMI splitters add latency?
A: Cheap ones do. Use an HDCP 2.3-compliant splitter (e.g., OREI 8K).

 

Q: Does HDR affect latency?
A: Slightly (2–5ms), but less impactful than cable quality.
