Why does Microsofts 1st party cross-gen games have performance modes?

[Gizmo_Duck]

I thought only sony games had to choose between performance and fidelity because of the lack of teraflops?



A: On Xbox Series X Forza Horizon 5 will feature 4K resolution at 30fps, on Xbox Series S Forza Horizon 5 will play at 1080p resolution at 30fps. Both platforms will feature a performance mode that runs at 60fps.

It also lacks ray tracing…..has there been a new xbox game with ray tracing at all?

when comparing Forbidden west on PS4 vs PS5. One will run at a steady 60 in performance mode and 30 in regular mode which is what it'll run like on PS4. Dynamic 4k vs 1080p

I’m just trying to figure out where the extra flops are goin

 

[Pull Up the Roots]

Too many people were blinded by the "12tflops" hype. Every other reasonable person understood that this was going to be a generation of one or the other.

Flops keep flopping

The attempts to slander are getting weaker and weaker.

Enjoy the new GT game when it drops maybe it'll have what you are looking for

 

[Gizmo_Duck]

So as this gen progresses it is known that the gap between the Xbox and PS5 is expected to widen. That's what happens when you have superior hardware

 

[Hood Critic]

They'll never address the talking points they create to try and slander Sony.

I notice that nobody has come with facts to counter the points made in OP

Because it's a non issue.

Just like all these games from miles to rachet that are only possible with the power of the PlayStation 5 SSD




The series x still out performs the PS5 in a number of areas now including VRR and ALLM.

It's way to early to really get the juice out these machines

now power doesn't matter

Hype always matters.

The power humble brag from MS was hype talk.

And eventually it "should" translate to games

time is truly a flat circle

it doesn't matter how many flops you got. you can always choose to prioritize framerate or resolution/graphics

Interesting….so how is it actually more powerful?
