TL;DR for the lazy:

- Both the PS4 and X1 versions utilise a dynamic resolution. 1700x1080 to 1920x1080 for the PS4, and 1280x900 to 1600x900 for the X1.
- Both the PS4 and X1 can drop as low as 20fps, but on average the PS4 version runs better. Both versions also suffer from screen-tearing.
- The PS4 Pro version runs at 2560x1440. Certain scenes still see drops, but in general it's significantly more stable (no drops were visible in DF's video during interactive sequences).
- The PC version was optimised by a team of semi-sentient potatoes. A GTX Titan X Pascal can't max it out at 1080p/60fps.

All in all, it doesn't seem to be a very well optimised game. On the console side the X1 version is particularly bad (the gap between it and the PS4 version is larger than their hardware differences should justify), and the PC version is outright unacceptable. A GTX Titan X Pascal should be maxing it out at 4k/60fps, not struggling to hit 1080p/60fps.

Thanks for summarazing and dont forget that XBox One seems to be very blurry as it drops in resolution a lot more frequently than the original PS4. 



Why i left PC gaming

 

(2015) Question for PS4 owners: if the situation would be reverse? would you still play on PS4?

Geee, I wonder why Bathesda isn't giving out early review copies anymore.

Hey which version you gonna choose Yuri :) ? Its a good moment to ultilize your recent purchase imo.

This just shows the game performs horrible on all platforms, im glad I have the PC version why would anyone want to play a game where reactions and smooth movement is so important on BELOW 30fps on all console versions.

I hope Bethesda will fix this, its an amazing game, maybe even my GOTY I havn't had much trouble running the game on 60 but I did notice some small drops on my 4 year old PC.

A Titan X Pascal (2016) cant even hit 60fps on this game on 1080p why should a 4 year old PC do? 

haha you are proberbly looking at THE BEST SETTINGS or THE BEST resolution again, I prefer lowering the graphical fidellity to get better performance, especially in games like this, i have a 2600k, 16gb ram and a 780GTX

1080P Ultra Preset --> http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/dishonored_2_pc_graphics_performance_benchmark_review,6.html
My card is rated around 970 performance, so on ultra, yes, i would get somewhere between 40 and 60 fps depending on the scenario

obviously im not playing on ultra

How much did all that cost you?

when I build my pc (before xbox one and ps4 release)
The processor was around 250 euro, the graphics card around 300, adding the motherboard and harddrive and power supply and case, which where all not too expensive, i would say between 800 and 1000. ( could have been cheaper if I didnt have the budget )

I did originally hav 8GB of memory and no SSD, I added those 2 years ago, which cost another 150, so over 4 years the price would have been between 950-1150.

I am proberbly not going to upgrade the PC untill around the PS5 release and the good thing is I will be able to re-use everything except maybe the motherboard/memory and graphics card so any new pc will be significantly cheaper ^_^

I have to be honest, when I bought the processor in 2011 I didn't think it would last me a wooping 5 years and still be concidered "high end" but thats the good thing for me, with the PS4 and Xbox One just having a good graphics card and pretty slow components apart from that, maybe I will even just be able to replace my GPU and nothing else when the ps5 finally arrives :D

That's why a lot of people will happily take the ps4/pro performance of dishonoured 2 for the price they pay for the console.  $250 for the slim or $400 for the Pro. 

 

It's worth having a pc for those who want some extra performance but you can see why many are also very happy with a console too.

Pc's have gone down significantly in price, I could buy a PC better then my current build for around $700. Anyway, I always view console cool for having the boxes and stuff, the only time I cannot defend people buying a PS4 or Xbox One is when they go "all digital" because then a PC is just much cheaper because games on pc digitally are so low prices.

Many of my friends own a console (I have a launch ps4 too) and they collect the boxes, sometimes lend me or someone else a game, and having two controllers playing togheter on a TV, I respect the hell out of that.

But whenever people try to compare console <> pc performance I get a little anoyed, not because I don't get it, people want their console to be good, and it is, but spending more money will always get you better peformance, its not good or bad, people just shouldn't argue about it.

Anyway, in the case of this game, I think Bethesda really needs to improve the performance on consoles, because drops to 20-s in FPS is just unaccaptable, and that has nothing to do with the hardware, just bad programming. On the Pc its also horrible, but people are just brute-forcing more frames, the latest patch did fix it a bit

Seems to run at native 1080p (no dynamic resolution) and no screen tearing (and more stable frame rate)

PlayStation 4 Pro offers up a very strange scenario - one we can't quite believe is possible. Dishonored 2 seems to detect if the console is attached to a 1080p display and outputs at full HD. Hook up your Pro to a 4K monitor and baseline resolution moves up to 1440p.

We tested this a couple of times to confirm results - there's no super-sampling if you boot with a 1080p screen attached, but there is if you boot with a 4K display attached then drop back to the front-end and select 1080p. Adding further to the strangeness of the situation is that performance between both outputs is identical, which either means we're mistaken here or else the console is hitting a CPU bottleneck - which is not entirely out of the bounds of possibility bearing in mind the severe performance issues seen on the PC game, even when running at 1080p with the most powerful single-chip GPU money can buy.

PlayStation 4 Pro is best equipped to hit the 30fps target (though even Sony's latest and greatest can drop below the target) and it's the only release that operates with v-sync fully enabled.

Jesus that's confusing.  so if I play this on the Pro on a 1080p screen I'll get a good performing version of the game? 

That's what I get from it, just no extra benefits. Apart from a few drops in cut scenes it should stick to a solid 30fps at full 1920x1080.

You can also get a ps4 for €200 if you try hard enough.  the point is the average price the consumer would pay for a console is a lot less than the average cost of a pc build.  I always see people say,  oh I could have got it for less,  but the point is they didn't and it applies to both sides.
