The Xbox Series X|S thread

[kmkaks]

I was talking about how you can buy used xbox one games only on sex and that you should never lowball when buying, hence need not look only for free?.

Anybody tried Destroy all Humans on XSX?

It was updated to support 60fps but it hovers between 45-60 which is concerning.

Oh okay. have you tried toggling between Performance and Quality modes? Its exists for the X, not sure for the S.

MS calls it a 1440p box but very few games run at that resolution lol. Ultimately it'll be a 1080p or 900p box but maintaining high fps. The gap is only going to get wider as gen progresses and big consoles start getting 1440p or even 1080p games. Xbone was only 30% less powerful than PS4, SS is 300% less powerful than SX with a terrible bandwidth. What will happen if you get a game that runs at 1080p/60 max on SX? 

 

I wonder if it'll be able to do "4K" once AMD unlocks their version of DLSS on both systems, though? Hmmm.

Nope. It's more likely they'll target 1440p with DLSS. 

 

That's the thing. I don't think console games are compiled to render at anything other 1080p and 4K? Some games are variable, but I don't think I've ever seen a 1440p console game. You may need to specifically patch for that, which most devs may not do.

They have already done that recently 

 

FidelityFX has been unlocked on Xbox SDK  

Only like 5% of the tech, rest is still under development.

FidelityFX is not the DLSS equivalent, 'FidelityFX Super Resolution' is. It's not even available on PC's yet AFAIK.

That's output resolution. Internally games run at wildly different native res. For eg. all ND games on PS4 run at 1440p on Pro and then upscale to 4k. AMD also can't really match the AI upscaler of DLSS yet. Nvidia literally put billions in their AI tech, how can AMD compete with that lol.

Fidelity FX is the suite of tools from AMD. 'Super resolution' (DLSS equivalent) is one of the solutions in that suite. Other solutions being image/contrast sharpener, denoiser, downsampling etc

[Keyofx]

So then the question is whether both current gen systems will get the Super Resolution feature as part of the Fidelity FX rollout. Has AMD said anything? And what about the rest of the features (image/contrast sharpening, etc.)?

 

I feel like it's going to be important down the line so we can avoid unnecessary upgrades :/

Quote

AMD this week made select capabilities of its FidelityFX package available to Microsoft Xbox Series X|S developers. For Xbox Series X|S, AMD makes available FidelityFX Contrast Adaptive Sharpening (CAS), Variable Shading, and ray-traced shadow Denoiser technologies, which are already supported by numerous PC games. 

 

Earlier AMD said that it was going to support arguably the most anticipated FidelityFX Super Resolution technology available on all RDNA/RDNA2 platforms, which includes PCs running AMD's Radeon RX 5000 and Radeon RX 6000-series GPUs, Microsoft's Xbox Series X|S, and Sony's PlayStation 5. Meanwhile, the company has not disclosed when it plans to roll out its FSR.

this!

Also, DLSS has an upper hand because of the hardware it runs on.

Uncharted 4 & TLOU2 run straight up native 1440p on Pro 

 

It’s only Lost Legacy which runs at Checkerboard 4k amongst the ND games 

 Lost legacy is 4K checkerboard ?

The money I saved due to MLB the Show 21 being on gamepass, I bought MotoGP 21 with it.

 

I absolutely suck at this game. Even on easiest difficulty and all assists being on, I keep sliding out of race track.

 

I keep sucking at these sim racing games but still keep buying them, thinking I'll be better.

 

Really angry at myself for wasting money on sim racing, again.

Started Gears 4. Looks bloody incredible. Easily stands shoulder to shoulder with the best out there like games by Naughty Dog, Sony Santa Monica etc. Wizards at The Coalition  

 

Tried Dolby Atmos for headphones. Initially I was very skeptical but the sound mastering in Gears 4 is brilliant and supports Atmos properly. Sound positioning is very accurate. 

 

Stellar audio visual presentation overall. But supports only 30fps on XSX.
