He's not wrong, NXGamer does outright say that. Basically he said the frame rate trades places and in some places SX runs better than PS5 too.

It's a big open world game, minor variances will and should be expected. Safe to say PS5 probably has a higher average frame rate but not by much, especially after how bad SX version dipped in the 1.25 patched version.

Nxgamer didn’t just “outright” say what Riky claims he said. Nuance can be a tricky thing but I know English is not Riky’s first language so its normal to miss things.

In any case, DF’s video is pretty clear on where they stand on the issue, dedicating a good portion to it.

 

[NeonGhost]

Ps5 really needs vrr the screen tearing is very noticeable walking around populated areas

 

[DJ12]

Another PS5 win? Series devs still don't have access to those tools, then?

I don't think anyone really wins when peds still walk through each other.

 

[DenchDeckard]

He never said that IIRC, all he said was that some older engines favor wide and slow and some older engines favor fast and narrow. He made no definitive statement on what future engines will rely on more heavily either.

Edit:

Ah, ok perfect. I must have had my wires crossed. Thx for highlighting.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

Weve already seen big resolution differences between the two, Doom Eternal, Metro Exodus, Far Cry 6 I could go on, plus Dying Light 2 running 20-60fps faster on Series X.
Once all the RDNA2 features get used the gap will widen, bookmark that.

It's really stupid to list series x's VRR modes fps advantage when ps5 doesn't have vrr when you're talking about power differences. You're other points are all fine but that makes you sound like a fanboy and hurts your argument

 

[01011001]

Another PS5 win? Series devs still don't have access to those tools, then?

why is it always a PS5 win when the framerate is 10% higher and not an Xbox win when the resolution is 10% higher? like in this game... you know?

the game is a badly made mess, noone wins, every version is not really running well

Is it though, 2 people say they are the same resolution, digital foundries worst pixel counter says otherwise.

I wouldn't bank on them being like for like comparisons or even correct pixel counts in the first place.

Ign/nxgamer and the Spanish dude.

You can argue the Spanish guy gets things wrong, but Tom said fifa was 4k on series s so he's hardly a trusted source either.

and why is NX Gamer a trusted source? because he posts on here? have you pixelcounted both to see?

the only ACTUAL source I personally trust is VGTech as they provide the exact screenshots they used for pixelcounting so you can verify their findings at least somewhat

I dont know what is going on, but its fun watching this turn in to shit show.

The answer is simple.

It’s a comparison thread.

I still dont get why people are fighting over pixelated count. It doesnt warrant 5 pages.

Another one.
PA5 still the best way to play the game on consoles.

If I have time in the future I want to play the RT mode on PS5.

 

[MasterCornholio]

Because there’s barely any difference between the two. I remember back in the One X Vs Pro days there wasn’t really any way for people to deny the superior version. It was usually a Native 1440P Vs Native 4K kind of situation. Now the difference is a lot smaller with each system having their own sets of advantages. Makes the nitpicking a lot worse IMO.

 

[Hawk269]

That PS5 VRR update can't come soon enough so we are done with this at least

Well, let's wait till it actually is out to see "how" they implemented it. They could have a fucked up version of VRR just like they had some weird ass issues with some of the TV's trying to run 4k/120. I hope it is a good execution, but history with Sony's updates on the TV's has not been steller.

Aha...

 

[Hawk269]

Any new TV that supports the HDMI 2.1 spec has built in VRR. So, in most cases unless you're specifically looking for a cheaper TV like the TCL. It should.

Even TCL's will start adding HDMI 2.1 from what I recall reading last year.




But both I and DF clearly state that non issue point for VRR only. The labeling couldn't be any clearer.

It *is* a non issue for Series X owners with VRR displays. Whether HDMI 2.1 or Freesync.

I'm not really concerned with consistency in experiences here.

You have no clue what you are talking about. Sony's TV's since 2020 has had HDMI 2.1 but no VRR. It is about the chipset being used, not just because it has HDMI 2.1. Having 2.1 does not automatically mean you get all the benefits of 2.1. Companies like Sony are still trying to shoehorn VRR into the existing 2.1 chipset they have.

So in short, just because a TV has HDMI 2.1 ports, DOES NOT mean they support the full suite of HDMI 2.1 features.

 

[JackMcGunns]

You are not going to look at those small differences in resolution side by side and be able to say which is better. The whole comparison is a wash.

Absolutely!

I was replying to the dismissal of the benefits of VRR. Pivoting to the "No one has a TV that supports that" rhetoric is asinine.

 

[Hawking Radiation]

what mode are you playing in and what makes it that much better? The vids I don't see a massive difference but welcome upgrades to be sure.

Sorry I should have stated that I'm playing on PC. Either way both PS5 and Xbox Series X owners should be happy with the big improvements made not only the visuals and performance but also how it plays now.
It feels more alive now that NPC's react to what's happening around them. I mean its not GTAV levels good or Watch Dogs 2 but this is a start and these guys can build on this.

The Sony TV's not having VRR on hdmi 2.1 is a very specific issue to their TVs, most others do have it.

I should have said most, not all, but you know, it's a very specific issue for a very specific brand.

With the recent muddying of what encompasses HDMI 2.1, it's gonna get a bit more confusing.

 

[JackMcGunns]

Christ @Riky what the hell were you thinking that day?

What's the context here? genuinely curious.

[Die Namek Ability]

On one hand this is probably the most recent insight into the tools situation for both consoles as CDPR just worked this with apis for each respective system. On the other hand after the launch they had, thier credibility in thier ability to get what they should out of a system is tarnished to say the least. I would say its a trend at this point through that the PS5 favors performance (slightly) and the XsX favors resolution (slightly).

The thing i find the most interesting here though is the PS5 outperforming XsX in RT mode while at the same resolution.

 

[Hawk269]

double post

 

[Justin9mm]

Looks like the best way to play on console is Series X with VRR easily, higher resolutions, totally smooth and faster loading.

I'll take the Dualsense controller over those any day.. Because for this game, it's a much of a muchness between both consoles. And the Series X controller compared to Dualsense is dog shit which is a huge impact to the experience. Not just talking haptic but the feel of the controller and speaker feels way more immersive.

 

[Sosokrates]

Looks like PS5 just edges this, well done

Factually incorrect.
I would call it a draw.
XSX has better resolution, slightly better loading times and slightly better fps in some instances.
While PS5 has slightly lower res but a noticeable fps advantage in some areas.

When it comes to the loading times it depends on which comparison you’re looking at. They pretty much coincide with everything else.

I feel complete opposite. I don't like the duel sense controller that much...it is usable/passable, but I don't feel anything special for it at all. It feels too wide and the features are not that impactful or rarely implemented well. The Series X controller for me is the GOAT.

 

[adamsapple]

It doesn't ?

Both PS5 and SX have one-off or 'flashes' of drops, they only showed one instance of the frame rate dropping to 29 FPS for one second on the SX, but verbally Tom also says PS5 can have one-off drops.

 

[Iced Arcade]

At this point the only way I'm playing this game is on game pass.

But that does not fit his/her narrative of console superiority. You are using facts and logic and for some console warriors that makes no sense at all. lol

 

[Sosokrates]

It's more powerful than XSX and will put out the most good looking exclusives.

The PS5 is more powerful then the XSX?

Ok this guy is full on hallucinating now.

 

[ButchCat]

If ray tracing mode is a trade-off with the resolution, there should be a mode with dynamic ray tracing and resolution where ray traced shadows are toggled off automatically in outdoor areas since it seems to only make a difference in indoor areas. Don't even know if such a thing is possible.

 

[Lysandros]

Because there’s barely any difference between the two. I remember back in the One X Vs Pro days there wasn’t really any way for people to deny the superior version. It was usually a Native 1440P Vs Native 4K kind of situation. Now the difference is a lot smaller with each system having their own sets of advantages. Makes the nitpicking a lot worse IMO.

More like 1440P vs 1800P as a 'typical' divide, sometimes lower. There were some exeptions of course.

 

[jroc74]

That stress test between the PS5 and XSX...whew....

But...Its 2022.

Are some ppl really still expecting a massive difference or advantage for XSX?

"its the closest 2 consoles have ever been"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

[MasterCornholio]

The PS5 is more powerful then the XSX?

Ok this guy is full on hallucinating now.

The two are so close that I believe it’s going to depend on the devs more than anything. Not saying the PS5 is more powerful than the XSX btw.

 

[MasterCornholio]

There were a lot of games where the divide was pretty significant. And that’s based on Native resolutions btw.

 

[oldergamer]

Still think it's a last gen game.
The game is definitely not built for the new consoles and still have some stuff that looks like it's running on last gen but at higher resolution with better framerate.

Since when does that constitute "last gen"?

 

[Lysandros]

The thing i find the most interesting here though is the PS5 outperforming XsX in RT mode while at the same resolution.

This happened in games like Ghostrunner and Dying Light 2 before, that's not so uncommon.

My mistake then, i thought he indicated PS5 had the performance advantage in RT mode.

But that does not fit his/her narrative of console superiority. You are using facts and logic and for some console warriors that makes no sense at all. lol

Huh? Jump to conclusions much? I literally said in my post that they trade blows one favoring res and one favoring performance...

So NXgamer did outright say at some points the xsx fps is ever so slightly better.

 

[Sosokrates]

Yes they are very close, but the XSX has the edge. More Compute and bandwidth on the same architecture will prove to be more useful in the long run.

Remember the case of Control and others...？ When reality is discovered you no longer see him

 

[Lysandros]

My mistake then, i thought he indicated PS5 had the performance advantage in RT mode.

PS5 has indeed the performance advantage in RT mode, XSX is pretty regularly dropping to 29 FPS in the video while PS5 remains locked.

Edit: There is one prolonged drop to 29 FPS actually not featured on PS5 part. I am having some problems with Tom's narration today apparently, he almost sounds like PS5 is more solid but i am not so sure anymore. Sorry if i mislead some posters.

Edit 2: It is more stable on PS5 according to NXgamer's analysis at least. Beginning at around 5:40 min.

 

[Sosokrates]

False narrative right here, most people never said there would be a massive advantage.

 

[Justin9mm]

I don't know how you can stand the cheap face buttons, the cheap d-pad clicky clacky sound is so horrendous. I'm not easily annoyed and this really annoys me so much, its so loud playing late at night. Can even hear it through my headphones. And the other face buttons are not much better, its so cheaply built in comparison. The Series X triggers are nice and yes, it feels comfortable in the hand but that's not enough for me to prefer it. I constantly switch between the Series X and PS5 and every time I pick up the Dualsense after the Series X controller, it reminds me how much better made the Dualsense is.

 

[MasterCornholio]

False narrative right here, most people never said there would be a massive advantage.

I mostly blame that on people like TimDog or Dealer Gaming. Most knew these systems would be on par with each other. The only ones freaking out over the lack f a massive difference are the really dumb fanboys. Which are a minority btw.
