Saw the video
Promising update but the framerate is all over the place
Especially in ray tracing
Itâs also in BC mode
VRR saves the day again
Itâs a shame because on some modes itâs almost there. Hopefully with some patches they can get to a more stable framerate
I think you might be surprisedâŚ
Yep, crysis is basically flawless with VRR. Ultra smooth and super clean looking. Even the RT mode is actually very well smooth with VRR.
But I definitely donât recommend it playing right now if your TV doesnât support it. The framerate judder makes it an instant headache
Are developers being too optimistic with resolution on series X?
I believe developers are counting with VRR to stabilize performance, which the PS5 doesnât support.
On one hand it is not ideal because the majority of players doesnât have a TV that supports VRR; on the other hand the majority of players who really care about framerate (not the ones who cares only because of console wars) has a capable TV.
I donât think so.
None of these games are taking full advantage of next gen hard ware. The ray tracing in this game doesnât even use the ray tracing hardware.
We are very niche. PS4 has sold 115 million units; Resetera has around 50k members. And even so, the thread talking about the CX has way more traffic than the ones discussing Digital Foundryâs analysis.
When you go past the console wars bullshit on DFâs tweets, people are usually discussing their CX and Q80T settings.
I donât have a cx or anything. I bought my tv in 2018 and probably will keep it the next three years. Unless someone somehow spend me a tv lol
Me too. I have a budget 4K TV from 2017. But I also always choose the Quality mode over the Performance mode. 
I like stable fps and it should be achievable without vrr
There are all games running in BC mode.
BC mode is for both PS5 and series X.
PS5 is at lower resolution and has beeter frames the series X.
Thatâs why I am asking. Series X offers 120 fps support in many games. But falls short in many games at 60fps compared to PS5.
This whole cross gen year is wierd to be honest
