Of course all it does is get cleaner lines and sharper textures in the distance. Detail is still made for 720p and 1080p. Same with adding HDR, higher contrast range but you won't get more detail in the bright and dark areas.

It will look better than having the TV do the upscale and adding HDR yet results will vary greatly by game. PC has the options to increase detail levels and effects, BC doesn't have those options or very limited unless the game is remastered.

The biggest improvement will come from higher, stable fps.

Cleaner lines also come with the benefit of much less annoying video artifacts (jaggies, edge flickering in motion) and more steady image.

Oddly, I notice the lod changes and rough textures a lot more on the XBox One X side. But true, zoomed in, sitting 2 feet away from my laptop pixel screen, it's a big difference. I never thought RDR looked bad on a 1080p projector hanging back on my couch. It's like cleaning up the movie grain and changing the fps of movies to 120hz with interpolation to turn in into a more stable picture, yet not looking balanced anymore.

It's great to have but why spend so much time on it. Doesn't BC on XBox require a recompile of all games which get downloaded when you insert the old disc? Lot of effort for a feature few use and doesn't give you any guarantees that it will keep working (relying on servers again)

I still have my old ps3 hooked up, not for games, it's a great blu-ray player! I always have the intention to play the games I missed (or left unopened on the shelf) at the start of a new gen. Never get to it lol.
