But it's not the HDR and 4K image that puts the X version ahead by a lot. Rather, the additonal texture work that no other version has seen. The resolution is one thing, but when individual graphics are improved, it gives off a considerably better representation of the material. That's not necessarily a result of hardware, but more of time and optimization.

I would argue that HDR support makes a huge difference way bigger than most give it credit for, it may not use much processing power but HDR does improve PQ quite drastically. R&C and Horizon especially profit from the inclusion of HDR and make them look way better. Colours and lightening in genral just look way better with HDR on instead of off. So if the Xone X is the only version with HDR support by definition it would look a lot better on my tv. The additional textures are also nice and it seems to be the most polished version of Tomb Raider yet. 

It really does. Was playing Uncharted LL yesterday with the HDMI running through the PSVR (which doesn't support hdr) and certain parts looked dark. I switched the HDMI and so many details popped up. It's really the first time I saw such a drastic difference. I had my 4K since November but I never really realized how big of a difference it made.
