![]() ![]() I think the important thing for developers to remember now is with high framerate gaming we’re really best off not locking the framerate, we don’t need the frame counter pegged at 120fps 100% of the time, so a 120fps mode is not inherently twice as demanding as your 60fps mode. So if we’re stuck in “Next Gen Aware” mode you’d get about the same with Series X, maybe slightly less because my GPU was overclocked, if we just tune Horizon 4 as-is it should hit about 4K90fps with what I would consider “heavily optimized” but still decent graphics.Īs soon as we can update the engine for full RDNA2 support (especially with Variable Rate Shading) we should be able to get 4K100-120fps and generally “Medium” settings, which I would take in a heartbeat over all other graphical balance variations. With effects heavily optimized (SSAO Off, Low Reflections, Medium Shadows, 2X MSAA, Dynamic Geometry on Medium, but you can leave Static Geometry and Textures on High, and I usually keep Lighting on High just for Subsurface Scattering in the leaves) my Vega 64 could do about 4K100fps. While there is nothing exclusive to Xbox, there are games that you can play on PC but not on Xbox, so it’s now PC that gives you access to more games. None of this was the case when games were exclusive to Xbox, but now that everything is coming out on PC, and you don’t have to pay for Xbox Live Gold on PC, I think the case for getting a PC rather than a console is very strong. So I’m talking about PC prices in more sane times, as I feel that’s a fair comparison with the £450 price for the console. There’s a caveat that right now, graphics cards are silly money, and you just can’t get hold of them, but the same is true of the consoles. ![]() For around that money you could get a PC that would match the console, or you could spend a bit more and outperform the console, and it would give you full choice over the options so you can run at 120fps with lower settings if you want. So £800 total price for 7 years of gaming. ![]() Xbox One launched in Nov 2013, so lets call it a 7 year lifespan. I really do feel many people would be better off with a PC nowadays. 120 is necessary for every fast game like Horizon. FullHD with low settings would be the best. ![]()
