  • Dynamic 4k
  • XB1X's lowest dynamic resolution is higher than the PS4 Pro's highest dynamic resolution.
  • PS4 Pro max: 2816x1584
  • PS4 Pro min: 2227x1242
  • PS4 Pro Average: 2560x1440
  • XB1X max: 3840x2160 (native 4k)
  • XB1X min: 2944x1656
  • XB1X average: 3072x1728
  • XB1X a 76% increase in output pixels vs PS4 Pro in opening battle, 44% on average.
  • XB1X has better draw distances and shadows.

  • Framerate is a fairly solid 30fps on both Xbox One X and PS4 Pro, but can be inconsistent.
Xbox One X is clearly the superior experience of the two consoles here.

Interesting. Overall a good showing and as expected Xbox One X pulls ahead by a decent amount, visually.


I really wish these games came with an optional 60FPS mode with lower resolution for those interested.

Really glad those colour differences in the shoddy early comparison didn't hold true. What a fantastic game this has been to really show what the X is capable of. What a fantastic purchase it has been.

Both dynamic 4k res and Xbox X can archieve native 4k, but only if you look to the sky. I remember the same scene on Witcher 3. PS4pro otherwise can't reach that.
FPS not that stable on both machines.

Yes. From the early parts of the game, don't watch if you don't want anything spoiled.

On topic. Liabe Brave was spot on with his 1440p on Pro assessment. Having put in 50+ hours, the game scales real nice to a 4K display and the TAA does well to hide whenever the game is scaling resolution frequently. 1440p with a much better frame rate than Origins's was at launch makes this a fantastic game for the enhanced console(s).

Hopefully with future patches, they iron out the remaining 1, 2 FPS drops that the video showcase. Though, I gotta say, there are areas where frame rate does drop more notably later on in the game beyond the first island, so the DF results aren't 100% indicative of the full game experience either.

2944x1656 - 3072x1728 will look really nice with TAA on the One X :)

Happy with the results! Coming from playing Origins on the Pro, I'm glad that they retained the lack of loading when exiting the eagle vision on the X!

Pro average coming to the common conclusion that the Pro GPU is perfect for 1440p gaming (at console settings).

However, doesn't look like Odyssey is using any kind of re-creation. 4K is suitable for Pro with decent recreation with CB rendering or other similar techniques I guess.

This is what I expect out of red dead 2. Xbox lowest resolution higher than the ps4 pros highest. I said gat daaayuuum. Xbox with higher draw distance and effects. Crazy.

Seems like a decent upgrade for X, considering there is also better shadows and draw distance. However, on a 1080p projector sitting at a decent distance as I game, not bothered by the res difference. I downscale.

How is the downsampling on X on a 1080p TV with dynamic resolution? Is it more notable (artifacts)?

I own both an X and a Pro. Went with the pro version simply because I have 2 PS4s at home, and right now with young kid I can't be hunkered down in the basement all the time (one PS4 is upstairs). Bummer!

I really don't see the point in adding a few more pixels if it is still 30fps.
Double the framerate would have so much more impact than a slightly higher resolution.

And people expect native 4K with Red Dead Redemption 2 when not even this game can hit anywhere close to that.
Checkerboard 4K is here to stay and I much prefer it that way.

That's still a huge discrepancy.

I really wish the Pro wasn't so much worse from a hardware perspective. I play almost everything on my One X and have a $400 dust collector under my TV the 300 days a year that I'm not playing a PS exclusive.

You are not getting 60fps in a vast open world game especially from ubisoft with the consoles paltry cpu's without huge visual downgrades.

The game is great so far, but coming off of technical masterpieces like Spider-Man and Horizon 4, it just looks and performs so rough by comparison
