Yeah those are in the insider alpha ring for now I think.

Ohh ok, I was wondering why there wasn’t an option to choose from more dynamic backgrounds.
Raytracing @ 60fps with dynamic 4K? Do we know if the SP only has Raytracing or also MP? And the 120 fps is for both too?
I really don’t know, that’s what I wanted to test. The options seem to be gloabl. It’s really strange there is no review or df coverage yet
My god this system is amazing! I’ve been so busy just playing games like never before. The performance, loading times, quick resume, all is just crazy good. And just to imagine we’re going to see some mind bending stuff graphically over the next few years. Whose ready for E3 2021

Im still in shock. I cant believe that Xcloud is arriving in Brazil. Internally, we, the media, content producers thought that it would only reach the end of 2021 and beyond, Xcloud or Stadia or any similar service, due to the infrastructure being very fragile here in Brazil… BUT, Microsoft comes and surprises everyone. 2 days before the announcement of Xcloud in Brazil, the head of XboxBR said that Brazil was on Microsoft’s roadmap to launch cloud gaming…
Dont sleep on it. Xcloud is the big deal for the Xbox. Is where Microsoft will take the lead in the gaming market.

Ok the 80gb file was just the last gen version. Man I don’t get it. Why can’t I play with Raytracing or 120fps?!
Pretty much, I don’t think I’ve played these many games as I have before on console. Its actually fun playing older games, they all look incredible
Have about 6 games im playing from Game Pass, trialing NHL 21 for 10 hours thanks to EA play with Game Pass.
Haven’t spent a dime except for the console. The value is just incredible.

Personally waiting for the cloud in India too. XGP subscription is very affordable Rs.499 and 599 for ultimate compared to Rs.5000 for PlayStation games, through partnerships and localized advertisement they could have a serious presence by the end of the gen. Xcloud and Gamepass are what will help set Microsoft on the path to surpass PS revenues. I truly wonder how long dedicated hardware will last for gaming I think poorer countries will move away from dedicated hardware faster if there is good enough network infrastructure. For me, there’s no doubt Microsofts main rival is stadia which will leverage youtube.

Oh man, ok I got it. You have to set your Xbox to 60Hz, restart the game and than you can enable RT. If you put your Xbox at 120Hz, the game will automatically enable 120fps mode

yeah, i suspect there are a lot of little quirks until this hdmi 2.1 stuff is worked out in content creation and on all devices.
I’m still so surprised at how quiet series x is. If the light didn’t come on you would never k ow it’s running.

What’s cool is, that the game uses HGIG (system level HDR) rather than a seperate game HDR calibration method.
So your are good to go if you already calibrated the series x in the xbox settings
So… Overwatch looks better to me on Series X, and I don’t know why. Because it wasn’t optimized. And it was already 60fps (and I don’t think the resolution changed either). Maybe it’s the auto HDR, and if so, it’s pretty impressive.
My XSX finaly arrived today, I didn’t think I would be so excited to unbox it as I have watched so many others do so already.
Mine is 2-Sept-2020

So far Raytracing in CoD Cold War seems to affect shadow quality.
Normal
Raytraced
You can see the difference in the shadow under the shelf as well as the shadow from the tab handles.
Normal
Raytraced
Here you can see that shadows get more defused the further away it goes in the raytraced version
Reflections doesn’t seem to be affected by Raytracing, looked the same to me so far.
It’s a nice touch to the overall visual quality but the game looks great both ways. Resolutionwise I couldn’t see any noticable difference between raytracing on or off in this area. Curious to see the DF results now.

Switched between game and dashboard and between games fine. I did not get any artifacting in Valhalla but only got 30 minutes.
