Definitely a bit of a disappointment in terms of performance on Series X, game runs better on PS5 on just about every mode, likely thanks to the Sony 1 year paid marketing and exclusive content deal. Also a shame that the 40 fps balanced mode requires an HDMI 2.1 screen, even though HDMI 2.0 is more than capable of running a game at a max of 1728p 40 fps. 

Interesting. For the lack of a Digital Foundry video I watched the next best video yesterday and there the Series X had better performance than PS5 in every mode but one (I think PS5 only had the upper hand in RT mode.)

Yeah, I watched that same video myself last week. Only thing I can think of is that the other test is before the latest patch, which was supposed to have performance improvements. Digital Foundry waited on the new patch before testing because WB asked them to. So maybe the new patch pushed PS5 ahead with larger improvements while offering smaller improvements on Series X. Or maybe even the new patch hurt performance on Series X as a result of a bug, I'd have to watch the average framerate difference on Series X between the two videos to see if the framerate is about the same as before or actually worse in the DF test. We have seen bad patches in the past that actually made things worse for a certain platform, the latest Witcher 3 Series X/PS5 patch made framerate worse on the framerate mode on both consoles for instance, saw that on a digital foundry video last week.
