Visuals mere bhai visuals 👏

SX matches the top tier visual experience on PC with FSR 2
Arey bhai Series S could've had the same FSR 2 4K visuals but at the cost of performance hit.

Digital Foundry
but they come at a cost - there's no 'free lunch' in using them.
And that's why Series X is lagging behind the S in terms of performance.

It's an interesting case which could explain the slow adoption of FSR 2 on consoles. The performance cost is not trivial. 😬

Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. But this is a good first step in doing convincing 1440p to look indistinguishable from 4K. Rendering native 4K is probably more computationally expensive.

Wah saeen, FSR 2.1 making huge strides on Series S performance. Looks like Scorn not having it was purely a budgetary or time constraint reason.

AS per DF, It improves the IQ considerably but doesn't improve performance. It actually decreases the performance in spots.

Obsidian is probably one of the best purchases MS has made, a good reliable developer who put out another great scoring game.

So getting inspired from @Chandoo, I did a thing too.

Spoiler: show



Although i was planning to get an S at first given my budget, i ended up getting a pre-owned Series X which was in immaculate condition.

Played a bit of Plague tale, BF 2042 and Psychonauts 2 but hot damn Forza Horion 5 looks absolutely AHHHMAZING !!! Plague tale requeim also looks fantastic but the 30 fps is such a let down....

Really loving the X at the moment.

Very nice. Getting a used series X over the series S is a very wise choice. Congrats

Congratulations.

Now with both a new PS and Xbox, you're all set till 2028 at the earliest lol.

And you'll notice that functionally SX is such a more well engineered machine, less noise, less disc whine/coil whine etc.

And Game Pass content will keep you occupied for a decade at least.

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
