Shadow of the Tomb Raider Runs at 4K/60FPS on XB1X
- Thread starter Rychu
- Start date
980ti is 5.5tflops, right?
Either way, nobody said anything about it being flatout Ultra settings. Only crazy people use Ultra settings as a first base metric of performance.
Yeah it was a mixed bag.
It performs close to or at 60fps in doors, outdoors is another story.
lol, this thread. so many turning 4k w/60 fps into 4k or 60fps....
who knows, maybe thats what it will be but 4 pages of doubt is kinda indicative, heh.
all full of it'll look bad, or it'll be checkerboard or blah blah blah.
Jeez, its like you guys forget how much more powerful the X is and think that only Sony studios are competent in using hardware...

Star Wars: Battlefront 2 uses dynamic resolution but spent like 90% of the time at 60 FPS, 4K and it's one of the best looking games ever made. It's definitley possible with enough optimization and technical wizardry and if the fine folks at Nixxes are helping out, I'd be willing to take them at their word here.
Whatever happens. The x is the definitive console version anyways. Shrugs
I heard the demo units at the preview event were Xbox One X dev kits.
itll probably be 4k 60fps with medium settings, or 4k 30 fps on high. or 1080p 60fps maxed out. who knows.
some people here will tell you it was not cross gen. that it was later ported to 360 but that was never the plan.
Rise was current gen. Another team handled the 360 port.

That's some headline, but I don't even expect to be able to say that with my PC rig.
If what they're saying is true for the X version, the Pro could probably churn out 1440p with a stable 60 FPS or something in that zone.
Just because the game runs at 4k 60 FPS on Xbox One X doesn't mean it is using ultra settings. It will probably be 4K textures, but with some other graphical features turned down. I know in Rise the biggest hit to FPS for me was shadows and anti-aliasing.
Latter would be superb because according to DF you can barely really see the difference between CB4K and Native. But as amazing as this all sounds I really really hope they have a good AA solution this time.
In a DF article they talk about frame rate upscaling, so maybe this is how they get to 60 fps, or maybe with sparse rendering.
"frame-rate upscaling - running graphics at 60Hz but the CPU at 30Hz and interpolating animation"

My biggest disappointment technically with a lot of new games is they don't take advantage of the extra RAM on the Xbox One X or high-end GPUs. Better textures make a huge difference when used.
Is this like Halo 5 where the animations from a distance are 30fps? Otherwise I have no idea what this means at all, lol.
Loving the responses from the armchair AAA developers..."its simply not possible", "defys the laws of physics"....
Look at Far Cry 5, pretty much runs at 4K locked 30, now we dont know what the actual framerate would be if it was unlocked. It could fluctuate between 40-50, 40-60, who knows.
I dont think its beyond the realms of possibility that a game like Tomb Raider could achieve 4K60 at all.
Also, you cant compare games that were patched for the OneX to those developed from the outset with it in mind. Again look at Far Cry 5, imagine the reaction on here if someone had suggested, prior to the launch of the OneX, that it would run as it does at 4K30.

Yep. The Xbox One X versions of games just seem to be getting better and better. Nobody blinks an eye when a game on X has 100% more pixels than the PS4 Pro version these days. The X1X dev kits have been out over a year now and the final SDK has been available since October 2017. Developers are just starting to really wring out the X1X hardware.
I'd be *very* impressed and surprised if Tomb Raider hits 4K/60 and retains it's good looks. But I wouldn't be incredulous considering the above facts.
This is a good point. Prior to the X launch, internet experts proudly proclaimed that very few games would run at native 4K. Also that there would be no tangible difference in performance between it and the Pro........until we know more about the game it would be silly to say it is impossible. And also when devs say 60 they don't often mean "locked 60".
That's exactly what I was saying. It's feasible if that's the case.
The X1X dev kits are awesome, I wish they sold a consumer version as an X1X "Elite". Dat PCIe SSD loading games in seconds. *drool* I will pay whatever you ask, Phil. Make it happen.
So look at Far Cry 5, put it in third person, and double the locked frame rate from 30 to 60.
If the SotTR uses the same engine as RotTR, I don't think 4k 60 FPS would be possible on the X even with a big downgrade, let alone in a sequel that promisses bigger environments and more populated areas.
I guess I don't see how/why that makes a difference? The 360 version was announced a year before release, and came out the same day as the One version. Regardless of who handled the 360 version, the design and roadmap of the game was decided by CD when developing the One version with the 360 version in mind.
That will not be the case this time.
I've never seen a game use such technique, but to me it sounds like motion interpolation, but without all the artifacts since the GPU will be rendering all the frames. So I dont really understand how it would work to be honest.
DF talks about frame rate upscaling in these articles, but really its never been used in games, just an idea up to this point

Your asking people not to apply logic and take rumour as fact. The "media bias" angle used to be restricted to the crazy YouTube channels. Now it's being applied to any critical thinking or general criticism.
I'd have to revisit DF's analysis, but I'm pretty sure Wolf 2's two modes that scale definitely do not often sit at full 4K. They're noticeably softer, and some reduction in rendering load is needed to maintain something near 60 fps, which both scaling modes don't fully achieve.
But you aren't necessarily doubling the frame rate are you? As I said, we don't know what the frame rate COULD be in FC5 if it was unlocked.
And the original quote said nothing about locked 60.
Hopefully steady.
It's funny... I was pretty firm playing God of War in resolution mode on my Pro for the more steady 30fps, but now that I'm a decent way into it, I've been knocking it down to performance mode when I feel like it, or if I'm remote playing it, so I'm not only getting that unlocked nonsense, but I get all the compression/stream artifacting as well with RP. And you know what? I'm still having a great time. I'm guessing I'll feel the same about Shadow... and I'll likely pick it up on 1X since I played the last one on my original XB1.

Is Nixxes working on the xbox version this time around?
I'd believe it if so. Tentatively, at least.
