Can Bootcamp can support 120 FPS (Hz) ?

Hello, for some time now I have been having a problem with my FPS. When I go to the advanced display settings in Windows 10, I am stuck at 60 FPS. However, I see the "120 FPS" but when I click on it, it gives me a black screen and reappears as 60 FPS when I pressed 120 FPS. I have tried everything but nothing works (reset Windows 10 several times, download Intel Graphics Command Center etc....). For information, I am on a Macbook Pro but I installed Windows 10 with the Bootcamp assistant. My graphics card is the Intel Iris Plus Graphics 645. Another information, I still have 155 GB of available space out of 230 GB (if that can helps).


I said the same response at the Microsoft help center, but they respond me to say this here.


Thanks for your understanding!

From MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2020, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports) - Technical Specifications,


Video Support


Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display at millions of colors and:

  • One external 5K display with 5120-by-2880 resolution at 60Hz at over a billion colors, or
  • Up to two external 4K displays with 4096-by-2304 resolution at 60Hz at millions of colors


Thunderbolt 3 digital video output

  • Native DisplayPort output over USB‑C
  • VGA, HDMI, DVI, and Thunderbolt 2 output supported using adapters (sold separately)


Your GPU does not support 120Hz video output. In most cases, Macs do not support 120Hz video yet. Some gaming PC laptops do.

Can you Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support? Please do not post the serial number of your Mac. The support for 120Hz depends on the GPU hardware and driver, both.

I would like to specify that my mac easily reaches 120 FPS/Hz on MacOS. Only, when I get to Windows 10, everything blocks at 60 FPS/Hz.
