You know it's a John Linneman video just from the intros lol. Love your stuff man!
Agreed!
John... DF Retro... Crysis 10th anniversary!
I literally just thought of that
John does the most thorough analysis out of all the DF team members. He does better than the others in my opinion. Of course, richard is the boss, so him aside.
I agree, John is the best DF has.
And Dave is the worst by far.
You know it`s a John Linneman video also when in a 100 hours game that offer spot on perfect frame pacing perfection during 98 hours, he spends 80% of the video talking about those 2 hours (the sum of brief moments here and there) where sporadic problems no average user would normally catch appear. Big RPGs that slow down if you leave the game in sleep mode for a long time are nothing new, the worst offender being Skyrim on PS (including the PRO) in that video however they said they just played a little bit and that so far the frame rate "was holding" (wow, they knew it was bad!).
As I don`t like to waste precious energy, I use power save mode, and that problem never pops up.
Needless to say this game on the X looks incredible O_O
I don't get why they add even more visual effects when the game can't even hit 30FPS...
MrCrypto137 ik , why focus on 4k when these games rarely keep a steady 30 fps
Because cpu is so crappy. 4K is the only option to sell this new consoles.
No 2k should have been, but they know how to get people to buy anything today. All they have to do is flash shiny in peoples faces, and they go around yelling 4k, and don't even know why... 4k only deal with resolution, and really only matters on huge screen TVs 50+ inch. These consoles are not 4k consoles, bit powerful 2k and 1080p consoles. This is why I play 1080p only on my pro.
But* not (bit)
some devs have really loose performance targets.
just look at how many 60fps titles that look way better than this there are around. i wish every dev would just target 60fps and be done with it. some day...
at least there are more of those this gen (xbox one and ps4) than the previous one (xbox 360 and ps3). hopefully this trend continues.
Absolutely amazing comparison John, thanks a lot!
love your work guys, thanks for all the great techanalysis!
I'd be curious to see how this game handles in backwards compatibility with Series X and PS5.
In all fairness, the One X does have some good improvements in detail and great performance. No matter which platform you play, however, you’re gonna get a very gorgeous game no matter what and the devs have been struggling optimizing this game since the demos came out lol.
Whoever cut and edited this video. Great work!
I had been waiting for this video!
HDR and 4K for this game is amazing. the pc version gonna be sick with that superb grass they added!
Watch out, the comments section is gonna get ugly fast!
too late, already expecting it whenever i'm on DigitalFoundry.
Damn right and I'm going to be right at the top. 😂😂😂
Isn't it always?
Pro runs better than X, again? WTF are they doing at Microsoft?
mcrazza true 4k my ass lmao
I love the DF guys, but I always get extra excited when I see it's a video by John.
Thanks for the HDR upload. Looked great on my TV :)
I've not seen these drops in framerate one One X, maybe they've patched since this. Seems to (on "high" performance mode) stay at a steady 30 fps.
this is a dissapointing patch and its square enix's fault, they did nothing to optimize the game and try to get it to run well on xbox or ps4. On the high mode they just let the resolution run loose. On the lite mode they just let the framerate run loose, and on steady mode they just cap both resolution and framerate. that is just lazy and dissapointing.
Hawk of Darkness 12 people ? Lol nice joke
Hawk of Darkness cute little troll xbox X is outselling the pro.....
Subi_fan your serious?? the game would be fine in 1300p-1800p@30fps if it was actually consistent. This was bad optimization and john said the same thing! Crap hardware yes, but does much better than a shit pc cpu thats clocked at the same frequency. This is definetly bad optimization and there is no debate, since it runs better on the pro in certain areas but not on the X.
I can see that. Their new engine is great, but it seems to still be a work in progress. Apparently they are using a different engine for FF7 Remake and Kingdom Hearts 3 because of this.
Agree fully and you would think DF would and should be able to figure that out and mention it.
Great video. Thanks!
For the Lock-on bit, if you first press the right bumper then hit the R3 (Press right stick) you can get the lock on to stick and be free to move around locked on to a target without holding any buttons... saying that though once you warp strike on to the target and you either "Break" something or topple them into a "vulnerable" state, the hard lock goes away again
You don't have to hold the trigger to lock on. You can click the right stick while locking on to toggle the lock on. I can't believe you didn't know this.
JUST LIKE DARK SOULS !!!!
Not exactly, since you have to hold R then click the right analog.
Yeah that was explained during tutorials, which most people skipped in this game.
I knew!
Yeah, and even worse: He spent time on this video to complain about it
I think the best solution was to pay attention to the game tutorial
XV is the Dark Souls of Final Fantasy
Waiting for the PC version. Waiting, waiting, waiting.
Welcome to PC "gaming"
Prince Dizzy 😂
Atleast it won't be 23 FPS.
Bruh I always thought console players were watching slideshows
Haseeb Gatsby Facts! My back log is crazy. Just bought Wolfenstein 2 for my PC. Plus Black Friday Steam sale is coming!
@digitalfoundry you do not have to hold the bumper or R1 to lock on in FFXV, you can just press both the bumper/R1 + the stick button and it will lock on to that enemy without you having to hold...
On holding the bumper to target: on PS4, if you want to target an enemy without having to constantly hold the target bumper, you can click in the right stick to lock the camera on the target while holding the bumper, let go, and it should remain targeted. Don't know if the same action applies across consoles, but that minor point is a thing addressed within the game (not very intuitively, albeit)
Hope FF15 gets a next gen update
Too bad they can't upgrade the story too.
Actually they are, lol. They recently announced that they're doing story patches for free next year, like new cutscenes and improving others.
this game fetchquested me to death. ended up dropping it and entirely forgetting it even existed. very "meh".
combat isn't even fun. bring back turn based jrpgs :\ (preferably with grandia-like battle systems)
Bhuni Be didn't they say the same thing earlier this year? oh well not like it matters anyway, they're just too late by now half the people have moved on or just simply dropped the game, they should've just delayed it instead of trying to keep it relevant with patches and updates
They already added new cutscenes to the game and new game sequences.
Lol soo true the story still trash even with the added DLCs
Nice video showing the benefits and drawbacks of the game in equal measure.
What mode would be the best for a 1080p tv? High or Steady?
The guys at DF are our saviors for getting devs to optimize patches. Thanks guys for what you do!
Really enjoying the Xbox one x looks fantastic on a 4K hdr oled
Yes! I prefer playing X1 on LG C7 to my PC now. Looks unreal.
Hallison Michel the loot boxes can only be purchased with in game currency. Stop the unnecessary hate.
Nox210 yes it does look better. I have a 1080ti but pc games don’t really do hdr so they do look better. My friend is also a pc gamer and he came round last weekend and his jaw dropped on gears 4 and halo 5. The x is a great console
Mr. Flash must be horrible having ur eyes 👀
Hallison Michel Salty 😂
Will you do a side by side comparison of the Battlefront 2? I want to see how superior the lootboxes look on PC.
(I know they removed microtransactions but just wanted to throw more shade)
Wait, the Pro steady mode is properly frame paced? How about the reg/base PS4 version? is that fixed/properly paced yet?
I wonder how many trolls in the comments actually watched the whole video before commenting?
Anyway..........thanks again for the X videos, I find them fascinating.
Cheers John.
judging by the comments......gaming was a mistake
earthworm jim Earthworm Jim 3 would be so nice!
Fendera indeeeed
More like this game was an absolute lie and mistake
Noticed something that wasn't mentioned. It seems they've extended out the screen space reflections on the water. On the PS4 version, you can quite easily tell that the effect is cut off on the outer margins of the screen. Looks like here they've extended that out a bit, although it seems not all the way to the edge. Can't tell for sure though.
That's the first time I've ever heard anyone mention the bad bumper buttons on the Xbox One controller. It's a good pad overall, but I've always found those buttons to be very stiff, and just don't feel great to use. Find it strange that gets overlooked by so many people.
Do you think they’ll release another patch to Xbox One X that cleans up the problems you mention in the video?
Great! Now we just need a total overhaul to the characters, stort, pacing, and pretty much every core mechanic!
If you're going to post a console pro/con rant disguised as a fact or joke - skip it please, nobody cares about those junk comments, only other simple minded jerks like the ones posting them in the first place. Community these days... Eerrrgh!
The compression on this video really kills a lot of the flare. Might have to become a patron after all
Subbed y'all badasses.
Super badass framerate reviewers
Yeah this would work well on PS5
I have an itching that the PC port will be awfully optimized.
I think it will be great on PC. Games that work awful on consoles actually somehow work like a charm on PC. Bad PC ports usually have stable console counterparts (Arkham knight for example). And, bad console games usually have great PC counterparts lol (Just cause 3 for example).
Naldery the game actually isn't THAT bad on console. I owned on the PS4 Pro and the lite mode performed very well and still looked very good. I bet with the shear power of higher end PC's it will do fine. The lengthy delay is also a good indication they are doing it up right. I will say, though, some of the previous FF ports on PC have been fairly lackluster.
How do you figure this when it wont be relying on the awful Jaguar CPUs. I'm just crossing my fings I can run it Maxxed out in 1080p
ASchraub because Square Enix usually have bad PC ports
You're probably right. But I'm sure it will still look, run and play better than the console versions, just like any multiplatform game.
Good stuff, John. A little disappointing as I was expecting a boost for textures. Seems those 4GB of ram are not being used that great.
How did you count the pixels of the sky? Lost the office bet and just started counting?
FINAL FANTASY XV: WINDOWS EDITION.
-Early 2018
More like FINAL FANTASY XV WINDOWS 15fps EDITION.
NN N N NANI?
TheDog7118 No xd FINAL FANTASY 15 40-60 FPS :v
tried the demo. my gtx1070 does 45-55fps on 1440p on ultra settings. consoles are just too weak and the game is shitty optimized. it's just sad imo
Playing on a i7 9770 2080 super. Getting 70-80 on highest but the game still looks wierd.
3K 18FPS hahahahahhaha aside from that joke, i'm impressed how sharp it looks
2 years later, in 2020, we are on the cusp of the Xbox Series X (and PS5) release. And I look forward to replaying this game on the Series X. Been waiting patiently for the next console before replaying this game and the time is nearly here.
I'd absolutely *love* to see Digital Foundry do a quick review of this game on the Xbox Series X (and PS5 if it is compatible with it). I hope they do.
It's amazing that this console just came out and they're doing this much with it already just imagine when they really have time
Great vid, i remember playing this game last year and still there isn't a PC port lol
Hessey Yeah PC is more about early access indie games like that Player Battle Grounds, i heard everyones hyped about vaulting coming to the game lol
Hessey Of course it is about those things, that's why AAA games sell better on Console and early access indies sell well on PC, this is why there still isn't a PC port....
Hessey No the vast vast majority of AAA games sell more on Console than PC, most PC gamers play cheap early access indies and moba games.
That's why im here saying i played this game last year and why you've been playing an early access indie game....
Hessey Yes that is why Steam is swamped with all that greenlight garbage and early access cash grabs, as ive already said PC is more for those type of games..
Hessey Wrong? wait, you think AAA games sell more on PC than on Console and most of those 6,000 Steam releases aren't indies?
This game was made on high end computers and was very hard to run on both systems, I think next years pc release will be incredible.
Most impressive, interesting to see what else we can expect in the future for Xbox. The console really needs exclusives but the power is definitely there.
thank you for talking about the thing with the lock-on button, john - the mapping was super uncomfortable for me during my playthrough, and i'm disappointed they never issued a patch to let you fully remap it. it was especially aggravating in episode prompto where aiming and shooting are both tied to the BUMPERS for some strange reason.
You can click the right analog stick while locking on to toggle the lock on. DF is giving out bad info.
i know you can - i don't like toggling though, i hate that i always need to press one extra button to activate it and that i can't just let go of R1 to release the lock-on. there's no ideal solution
Microsoft advertises the X as "true" 4K console, but you will see next year most demanting games wont be able to hold 4K resolution. It's a PS4 pro version 2. Just wait for next gen consoles.
Games start to get the point where GTX1080TI can't hold 4K also SE confirm GTX1080TI can't run FFXV 60fps at 4K.
I have very little hope that they will make a proper PC port of the game. But I would like to be proven wrong.
They couldn't even make a good console version of the game LOL it's best just to keep hopes low.
Tabata is a PC enthusiast and his team is putting a lot of love in the PC version, He went as far as calling it the "Definitive" experience of the game.
it'll suck anyway, with the difference that you can bruteforce through the performance issues most of the time.
FFIX will be its best on PC. Thats why it took them 1 year in a half for PC port.
Not sure if it will be "definitive", with low res textures, lower draw distance for objects and shadows alike. I watched a clip of the PC version, during a battle, and noticed the mob boss they were attacking had a lower res skin, which looked rather jarring, considering the PC version is meant to be sporting 4k res textures.
I'd call it definitive if it was a massive night and day difference between the console versions on PC. Huge draw distance for shadows and objects, 4k textures for absolutely everything, no sub 1080p textures scattered around either.
Sweet, this video is in hdr !!! Looks great
Which one is the best mode as of now? High lite or steady?
None of the consoles can seem to just do native 4K through and through. They should've just stuck with mastering 1080p at solid 60fps....ugh
This game will probably also run like poop on desktop GPU as well when it comes to PC.
Edit: I'm talking about Optimization here. Not about "PC being slower".
Not actually.
It runs bad at Xbox, but I'm sure on the pc it will run better.
PC has a huuuuge market, and they are making the game for almost 1 year at the pc.
MemoriesLP I think he is referring for the OPTIMIZATION of the version for PC. It usually comes worse than the console versions.
Real cpus will have no problem with this
Ayush Pandey
Only if Nvidia gameworks effects are set on
Optimisation will be bad, can almost guarantee that... But with brute force my i5 and 1080 Ti will probably get it at 1440p 60FPS.
It looks like your HDR on your PS4 Pro wasn't fully implemented which is a bug that happens on the PS4 any time you turn the TV off and on. You have to go in and actually put your settings into Full and turn HDR off and back on as well as the color settings. You can tell by the way you can't see the detail on Nocits' jacket.
Can anyone tell me how to watch an HDR video on UA-cam? I have an HDR TV but even if I use the UA-cam App on Xbox One S or PS4 Pro, it does not automatically switch to HDR when watching this video or any other HDR labeled UA-cam video. It does it no problem when I use the Netflix app or play an HDR supported videogame, but UA-cam just doesn't work.
Like almost every single game shown for the Xbox X is Dynamic 4K dipping below 4K, and frames all over the place, either dipping below 30fps, or dipping below 60fps.. "Uncompromised" 4K machine my as*. Still the best out of the consoles no doubt, but people really over hyped this thing.
Good ole Jaguar cores.
Jaguar cores was a mistake
TLSPanthers its not the CPU its the dev.. do you ppl actually watch the whole video??
Michael Tepes The CPU is still too weak. I wish MS had used separate chips and pushed the CPU over 3GHz.
Michael it is 1000000% the CPU, it's utter garbage and is a severe bottleneck in the system, we're talking about the SAME CPU that bottlenecks even the normal PS4 GPU, just a few hundred mhz faster. Lol
It has a theoretical max threshold of 147 Gflops. It's an "8-core" Chip running at 2.3Ghz.
My CPU is running a cheap $200 R5 1600. At 3.7Ghz, 6 cores, 12 threads (with SMT/HT cores being FAR weaker than physical)? over 360 Gflops aka, over 2x the performance of the "worlds most powerful console."
That shit CPU is the core reason a LOT of games on consoles can only run at 30FPS, the CPU lags behind everything else. Infact, it's so shit, the Xbox 360 and PS3 CPU is BARELY behind. Those consoles are well over TEN years old.
Rhyan Eddy
Well said
Can someone talk to me where i can find the song in the start of the video?
I love this game and it’s gorgeous! This is the patch I’ve been waiting for
A lot of people think it’s the X but it’s actually how poorly the game is optimized.
Square sorta sucks balls anyways. Not shocking that they can't even take advantage of hardware properly.
it's bad quality control with loose margins for performance targets.
it'll be funny when this comes out to pc and people start crying "bad port, bad port my $2000 pc should run this 200fps but only does 40", like always.
ps: sporting a 4.6ghz i5 with a pair of gtx1070s here, so stfu about the whole master race crap.
Mr. Flash
Dude the guy in the video clearly says it's the bad optimization, you fanboys only hear what you want to hear smh
Very true.
my first thought was it's the engine that's dog shit
Hold on...that's what people are fighting about these days??? Which console/platform looks slightly better??? That's what I call first world problems😂😂😂
These days? It's been like this since the mid 80s, what are you talking about? Sega does what nintendon't fam
I found a bug in the november patch, if you played through the entire game you'll know the giant door that is locked in fort zegnautus you know the door prompto unlocks? Yeah, for me that door disappeared that door did not exist the door only existed when the cutscene of Prompto opening the door happened. It was so weird and it's the first time I encountered a glitch since 2016
John is keeping it real. good review.
I'm just here to read the comment's DF should legit disable the comment's.
why?
LOL
Can't wait for the PC Version (60fps)
This terrible game is only good for benchmarking, but that's all pc virgins ever do anyway.
Buddy i don't care about your Corporate Slave Console Wars!
hahaha seems u triggered someone should probs give a trigger warning next time lmao died
Wait... FFXV isn't on PC yet? If not, then this is exactly why I would never invest in one. Having to wait this long to play a game like FFXV would be a nightmare. It's an absolute must day 1 experience kind of game.
Even if I don't own an Xbox One X, this was an interesting and deep analysis! Thank you John!
The framerate drop bug happens on Windows Edition for me randomly in 4k too. A reload of the same savepoint fixes it =/
20FPS Master Race
My favourite game ever.
James Valkyrie its the worst game in FF franchise. Garbage imo.
James Valkyrie say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat?!?
XgamerdaveX Huh? It’s just my opinion xD I love this game... I mean “Favourite Game Ever” might be a little much, now that I think about. It’s one of them anyway, with FFVII, and Dark Souls! You don’t like it?
James Valkyrie I like it a lot. I think it’s a good game but nowhere near one of the best games of all time. I don’t think It’d even be in my top 100 games of all time. I wanted it to be so much better than it is but I’m okay with what we got. FF VII is actually my best game of all time.
James Valkyrie I really enjoyed this game a lot as well. I'm a huge fan of the franchise, and think this was the best one since X. I really like having a fresh take on the RTB system and the open world is really dope.
You don't actually have to hold to stay locked on, if you click the right stick while locking on, it will stay locked on. It says this in the tutorial.
Your YT video has a max setting of 1080p so how can you show us anything above that in this game review ?
Another poor optimized game for the x smh. Square has become a sloppy developer over the years
Not really
And the award for saltiest fanboy in the comment section goes to....... *Opens envelope*
Mr. Flash! Congratulations on representing the worst of the Sony fanboy community! Come to the podium to get your prize!
flybydeath "You win an Xbox One X !"
I really wished that they'd offer a 60fps mode for Pro and 1X. At the very least the 1X should be able to hit that, considering how much more powerful it is from the base model. Give people like me who don't have a 4k set up a reason to upgrade.
can you do a load time comparison? thats the thing im most concerned about.
Xbox One X and PS4 Pro are a mistake!
it's the monster
/s
The slow down, I had this happen once with Forza 7 after coming back from sleep mode as well.
You guys should test the sleep mode deficit more. I've had my suspicions that this affects other games as well.
Cant wait for the pc broken version....
Probably. But the funny thing is, no matter how unoptimized a PC port is, it's always superior to the console versions.
How do you know if it's going to be superior? Final Fantasy Pc really bad.except FF14.
All multiplatform games are better on PC, so a superior experience is to be expected if you have the right hardware for the task. Final Fantasy XIII was one of the laziest PC ports ever and it looks and runs WAY better than the PS3/x360 versions.
Most broken PC ports are still superior than their console counterpart. You won't see FFXV running at 23fps on any PC.
Rei dos Vermes same for how the 1X is superior to the soup pro
One x got "titanfalled" again!
lapapa palala But didn’t it get fixed?
it did
Titanfall Looks insane on the X
I can't wait to get my hands on the PC version coming out next year!
Any plans to look at Nioh on PC?
I played the game on my ps4 pro i tried it then on my one X I clearley saw the difference the one X version is much much sharper
LOL
Sure man...you bought the game for both consoles. We believe you!
kraenk12 sell and buy do you know it ??
Can I have some money? I only have xbox 360 and sega genesis.
the first patches for the pro were thrash pretty much , so i'm quite positive, they will chnge all of these minor issues...
it's funny to see that with all the Final fantasy released on PS4 who are coming to xbox one family , FF VII, FFXIV, FFXII zodiac, FF world Maxima , FF VII remake etc... ) the One X will be the best place to play FF games, specially when u know that FF XIII , XIII-2, and XIII-3 are coming this week on Backwards compatibility with each an Xbox one enhanced patch along the way , Square enix seems to have shake hands with Microsoft again , and i really think it's for the better of all players.. now we need dragon quest lol, i already got it on PS4 pro, but like all previous titles, i will buy them again on One X
They can't change the underpowered CPU.
The long session slowdown bug is also present in PC version.
Sonic Forces on PS4, and now this on the X... maybe the sleep/rest modes on these consoles have memory leaks of some sort? Anyway, great work guys!
This is so hard to watch experiencing 60 fps on PC.
The FFXV windows port is trash. Often dips below 40 on gtx 1070. So any "my PC is better than your console!" bs is not really a point here and from my research it's not much better on RTX which is a shame. Square enix has problems with steady frame rates it seems.
@@shanes.6227 I have GTX 1070 as well. You may need to upgrade your CPU as FFXV also heavily relies on AIs. I have a Ryzen 2600 and my fps doesn't go below 60 if nvidia settings are turned off.
22fps wtf
Hey DF could you test Evil Within 1 and other games that ran poorly that didn't receive enhanced patches on the X?
Completely agree with the lock-on using the bumper. It's just not comfortable to have to hold my finger up that high for long periods of time. And I do use my Elite to fix the problem.
But does it run at 60fps?
Mr. Flash it does run it petformancewise but somethings wrong with it, guess an Update is incoming
with a powerful and decent CPU, Jaguar is trash, the problem is that Sony and Microsoft forcused more on Teraflops which allow better resolution
with 3.4 GHz would be enough, i guess
Meh, they both look good on both systems. Just enjoy gaming, no matter what.
Indeed. I just enjoy it in real 4K and 60 fps.
Yeah they do look good on both, but noticeably better on the X if you're honest with yourself
I hope you were saying this at the beginning of this gen when PS4 had more power.
That's exactly what someone with a pro would say 😂😂😂😂
Too bad the game is total garbage.
This was one of the games I waited to play on The X. The issues seem to be pretty minor based on this vid. Might pick it up this weekend.
doesnt give the sleepmode problems due to cache using?, i always shutdown my console so my cache is always cleared
seriously PS5 and new Xbox better focus on 1080p & 60fps over 4k
it's only way harder if they keep using tablet cpus with 2005 frequencies. the cpu is what kills these consoles. the next gen is going to stomp this one when it comes out using a ryzen-based cpu.
heck if they bumped the frequency to 3.2~3.4ghz instead of 2.3(?) they could just seamlessly double fps in all games. but that was pointless since it would make it harder to develop "backwards compatible" games to the base consoles, and the ps4 pro would also be targeted and that has a slow cpu too. this needed to be a full generational jump, no just a refresh.
Hhm, with all that being said. It sounds like Microsoft and Sony have a lot of work cut out for them with their next console. Do they prioritize 4K or give options with resolution/frame rate? They are going to have to do this with cost in mind.
+Hessey 1080p60 is obviously harder to achieve than checkerboarded or dynamic 4k30 for consoles with weak CPUs, but if you're talking about true 2160p30 at high/ultra settings, that's a different story. Good 1080p60 cards like the 1060 will struggle with a solid 2160p30 in a lot of games unless you turn down settings and tweak it so much that ultra settings in 1080p or 1440p with better framerates can be preferable. With a configuration of a decent CPU and GPU, hitting 1080p60 is both easy and affordable to do on PC, but consoles don't have the luxury of that form factor, and suffer for their APU solutions with the poorly specced laptop CPUs. And as you can see, it doesn't hurt only the 60 fps target, but also a solid 30 fps with good, stable frametimes.
And I think you'll be disappointed if you expect Sony and Microsoft to prioritize good framerates at 1080p over nice visuals in 4k with OKish 30 fps in the next gen. You're more likely to see Nintendo push for 1080p60, to be honest, as they've always been lagging a generation behind in resolution since the Wii, but still deliver a solid 60 fps experience more often despite their weak hardware. 4k TVs is already becoming the norm, and more and more of our gadgets will utilize it; TV decoders, stream boxes, UHD bluray players, consoles, and HTPCs. What I think we'll be getting in the next gen is a better 2160p target with higher settings and hopefully a more stable 30 fps, with all the latest tech in TVs we might have, like a better, more standardized HDR and higher color depth.
Opposite to those this gen consoles they will have a decent CPU, which will make higher framerates more likely. That said, developers usually go for higher fidelity instead of framerate. For most games 30 fps is totally fine, as long as they are stable. Only racing, fighting games and twitch shooters "need" 60 fps.
Mr nice guy lol you’re actually high if you think console developers will ever focus on 60fps over higher fidelity and resolution. It’s easier to sell pretty graphics than smooth frame rate
If only Xbox One X has a decent CPU, it could've been a perfect console experience for 1080p/60fps.
Louie Verr Torreon Yeah. Apparently the XBX CPU is about a 3rd as powerful as Ryzen lol. Not great.... :3
actually it would handle 1440p 60fps fine most of the time. i had a rx480 and it had no problem running most games 1440p 80fps (my screen is overclocked to 80hz).
It does lol tomb raider, forza 4K60fps

I'm streaming this over UA-cam over a Chromecast 1 to a 50" 1080 viewed at 2 meters.
Xbox WHALLOPS the PS4 in image quality. The texture detail is stunning compared to the PS4.
Wasn't going to bother with an X1X as I don't have a 4k screen but now I'm interested. That it GORGEOUS.
Hey John, I'd love to see a video comparing X1X to X1S captured @ 1080p.
Can't wait for the PC release, and will be nice to see the comparison with that.
