1440p at 60 fps with frame drops is not good at all, we've seen cross-gen games hitting 1800p-2160p at locked 60 fps on Series X and PS5. On top of that, the performance mode has dialed back graphical settings such as shorter level of detail distance, and for some reason the balanced mode between fidelity and performance mode requires HDMI 2.1 even though it never achieves framerates that would require HDMI 2.1 (HDMI 2.1 is only needed for 2160p at framerates higher than 60 fps, the balanced mode runs at like 1600p 40-50 fps as I recall, so there is no reason why it shouldn't run over HDMI 2.0). It's also not as well optimized on Series X as it is on PS5, likely due to the Sony marketing deal and 1 year exclusive content deal causing the devs to give PS5 more attention.
