Any advantage of Series X on a 1080p TV?

If developers desired, there can be performance and higher quality visual modes. We don't necessarily need all the PC settings if they just offered that.

Many were angry that the latest Assassin's Creed is 4K/30 fps focused. If they simply offered a Performance mode that dropped the resolution or utilized dynamic resolution for 60 fps, many people would be happy. Assuming CPU isn't an issue, I can't imagine that even requires much work.

Achieving 60fps is a job for the entire system, not just the CPU.
Any singular component can hold you back from hitting 60fps... Which is why I have tried to educate people on this before the hardware was revealed, that... Just because we get shiny new 8-core Ryzen CPU's at a decent clockspeed, does not mean we will have 60fps games across the board.

We can still be GPU limited, we can still be bandwidth limited.

Yeah, we've had this debate before. Don't wanna have it again.

I am obviously saying 60 fps is likely viable if they reduce the GPU load in upcoming titles. That's why we actually request performance modes in games at the cost of visual fidelity. But if the bottleneck is actually on the CPU, then 30 fps is easier to accept.
