They're already focusing on 4K though, framerates should improve next gen unless they start focusing on 8K.
Ryzen should help massively with framerate compared to the current Jaguar CPU's we are stuck with at the moment.
Is this any wonder? Even a RTX 2080 for 700€ struggles with native 4K & 60 fps. And a RTX 2080 Ti costs more than 1000€.
It works in some games like the wipEout Omega Collection, but I prefer 1080p as well.
Last gen most devs aimed for 720p although some games like Virtua Tennis 3 run in 1080p on PS3 and Xbox 360. Fable Anniversary only runs in 1080p and it's a worse game because of that.
Not saying they are out to " get " the Xbox or pander to one side or the other .. they go back and forth but they definitely go more for the controversy these days. But then again thats everyone on YouTube .
What happens on the x if you force output to 1080p 120hz?
You don't get any performance increase in games? Like better than running in 1800p as far as fps?

Is it me or does this game seem like it needs Titanfall 1 Cloud servers?! At least for the Xbox versions?
No. What Microsoft did (which overall I think IS the right move) was make it invisible to the developer. So the developer has no idea what resolution the console has selected. This has avoided a lot of problems, but in cases like this and KH3 where the developer has provided for different results if the console is set to 1080p or 4K on PS4 pro, but hasn't coded a way of letting Xbox players choose between those options in game, X owners can be a bit left out.
You should never have to quit the game, change the system resolution, and reload it. Different modes should all be selectable in game, ideally.
Surprised it took till page 3 for something like this TBH, lol.
Mid 20s on the x is a joke. Devs need to stop prioritizing higher resolutions and go 1080p, 60 fps or at the very least always offer a 1080p high framerate option.
I don't think resolution is the issue here given it's (seemingly) running at the same resolution as the Pro and still similar or worse performance. Clearly something weird going on which hopefully will get fixed at some point.
No. They're just telling it how it is. And it's unacceptable that the X version is worse - keeping in mind it uses the same architecture as Pro, has 44% more powerful GPU, 10% faster CPU and 50% more GDDR5. It makes no sense. So it should absolutely be outed.

What ? They don't even spoil the thing in their title or subtitle. This is the title or their RDR2 article:
That was even innacurate as it plays best on Pro.
This is their Resident Evil 2 title:
Now compare this with the KH3 video (the game plays best on Pro):
And now their Anthem video title (the game plays best on Pro):
You notice a pattern ?
I look forward to it. Not sure if I'm getting Anthem but, after watching your head-to-head here, this is probably going to be a game that I would only consider buying on PC. 20-30fps or 30-50fps with that kind of fluctuation isn't ideal for a shooter, as you guys mention.
Bioware isn't known for graphics or performance, especially on consoles. Ever since KOTOR their games have been running like shit. This is why I buy most of their games on PC.
RDR2 is absolutely best on X. Resident Evil is better on Pro, imo, due to the sharper image. I own both versions btw. Kingdom Hearts plays a lot smoother on Pro at 1080P. I bought the X version and after playing the beginning, bought the Pro version for a smoother experience. Everything DF is saying is factual, it's just not what you want to hear.
Whoa, didn't expect this result at all.
Crazy its runs better on the Pro while maintaining basically the same graphics as the X version.

You dot force the game to run in 1080p, you have to set the internal resolution for multiple screen types. They could have put a resolution toggle in game as other games have , but they haven't in this demo.
au contraire, Pro's forced 1080p mode is the only way to play RDR2 with a 100% locked 30 FPS without any drops, so that poster is right .. RDR2 does *play* the best on Pro.

*sigh*
What ... just pointing something out. Pro's forced 1080p mode has shown unique benefits for performance in at least 2 high profile games now.
So the fact you have to wave goodbye to over half the available pixel count that is available on X to achieve these few extra frames means Pro is performing better?
It's like we are back at the start of this gen when people were saying X1 was performing better than PS4 because it was getting a few extra frames at 720p Vs 1080p. It was dumb then and it's dumb now.
You'd be surprised at how some people can be sticklers for performance over visuals. It's a worthy trade off for some.
From what I recall, 30% of your top line REVENUE had to go to Unreal back in the day. Not Profits, but just revenue. EA was losing tons of money during that era because of this. Since then, a lot of companies moved off of Unreal, and there was also the rise of Unity. It forced Epic to drastically reduce their licensing fees to only 5% now.
LOL. RDR2 dropped a couple frames here and there on the X vs. the Pro. Not NEARLY enough to be worth taken note by unless you are a hardcore console warrior.
So maybe performance has been improved from this version? It should surely look and run better on the X so I don't think he's blowing smoke
Ea will probably issue a patch that would fix performance issues on the X but those that are saying the graphics are basically the same between pro and x is hilarious.
Eurogamer Article States near-complete build doesn't suffer performance issues of demo build
Worth noting this article from Eurogamer regarding demo performance - https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2019-02-01-biowares-endgame-for-anthem
Microsoft should just mandate 720p/60 for X1X from now on so they can get the attention of the framerate over visuals crowd and resoundingly declare 'Plays best on Xbox one X'.
:)
I could not possibly disagree more. That's just crazy talk. Xbox One X is very very stable in that game. 1080p mode on Pro is only slightly faster in those rare instances but you lose so much.
This isnt a nice thing to say and wildly untrue. Do you know how insulting that is? You're the one making conspiracy theories here.
So you can grab a couple of frames advantage at the cost of visuals for what, a couple of games? I don't think they'll bother.
I think anyone with a well-reasoned thinking process can see that this isn't the case. Water off of your feathers John, you guys do amazing work as usual and most of us are thankful for it 👍
This really makes me wish that that all games on the Xbox One and Playstation 4 offered a actual resolution selector as a performance option.
Sometimes you want to prioritize framerate over resolution. Having the option to select your resolution is the best solution.

Dark, I really feel for you mate. The amount of shade thrown on you in these forums for simply trying to provide the kind of content people here say they crave, is just embarrassing.
Yeah, like I say, all those Pro owners dying to play Spiderman at 720/60 really need to be listened to.
Most games just aren't built that way.
