Games Analysis |OT| Time To Argue About Pixels And Frames!

Looking at the digital foundry review of Fortnite UE5 with nanite, PS5 maintained 55% of 4K image with nanite on while Series X was at 59% so there might be hope there, although that isn’t a huge difference.

Great video. I actually liked the game’s graphics more before the patch, but the game is still brilliant anyway. Capcom are just such a wonderful developer

Many has iterated that this gen won’t have a mid gen console because last gen it was all to achieve 4K

But mid gen upgrade will again be required this gen to have 4K again… With 1080 like performance (frames)

Just see the difference here AI upscaling makes

You lose only little performance but gain substainal clarity in resolution

Currently FSR and checker board rendering solutions are available for consoles but a native hardware acceleration solution has not been seen in the action yet

The Mid gen consoles may simply come with True accelarted upscaling hardware improvement and rest could remain same

Note: XSX|S hardware acceleration is based on utilising the traditional shaders rather then having separate block to do so. But xbox still have advantage over PS on this. But so far nothing has materialised yet on Xbox’s 8 & 4 bit acceleration anyways

I don’t know if it’s necessary for the mass market. But I would definitely upgrade if possible. The current consoles are great but their is always room for more improvements. Their is always a trade off (performance/quality modes) and there always will be. But running games at 60fps and 4k would be a great standard to have. Also Raytracing is sooooo far away on being really impactful on consoles. I said this multiple times now but I think the should do a 1000$ Xbox for the hardcore crowd that makes Forza Horizon 5 run in 60fps at quality mode level visual make up. I would totally be down for that

You lose a little bit of performance compared to an equivalent internal resolution (1080P) and some other form of temporal anti aliasing (though without the upsampling… TAA vs TAAU). A more apt comparison would be Native 4K IQ and performance metrics which is what the target output is.

You’d likely be looking at 30 FPS or less for similar IQ in the CP2077 example. A HUGE performance uplift with similar IQ.

The best part is, I haven’t started it yet. Now I can get the great experience on first playthrough.

I would, friend, but I’m too deep into Red Dead Redemption 2 now and the co-op time goes to Dead Island 2.

Besides, around the time I get to check out GT they might have smoothened things out.

This is for the performance mode or also for the resolution mode with raytracing enabled?

I just tested resolution with RT on and off. It looks amazing now. Never use performance mode since I have a VRR display and it runs super smooth in res mode for me

Oh that’s awesome. I remember in the demo how res mode definitely looked better than performance mode.

Great to see the video I worked so hard on be relevant for a whole 3 days lol

Really though, glad they fixed it! I wonder if the performance is just as good and if they also fixed the Series S version

Same here I have a LG CX 6 and with VRR is super smooth. XBox VRR is so much better than the SONY offering, but gets little credit for it sadly

Less credit?

Sounds like xbox

Capcom is doing a great job. Some devs keep messing things up, making it worse but Capcom listens.

Xbox version of Resident Evil Remake 4 is an a great spot finally. The best console version hands down.

The game is stunning (I would probably play in res mode if I had a VRR-compatible TV) and just a treat to play. A really good videogame.

Congratulations to Capcom.
