EnricoPallazzo said: Hey guys Im a PS main since PS1, thinking about buying an Xbox this generation. I have a question about Series S. Do we have any statement saying that the only difference between Series X and Series S will be resolution? Or we will have also an impact on performance (60fps)? I really dont care about 4K but performance is very important to me. I know nothing about this shit but as far as I know 4K has slightly around 4x more pixels than 1080p, therefore in theory the drop from 12 teraflops (series X) to 4 teraflops (Series S) should not impact performance, the difference is that games would be running on 1080 60fps instead of 4k 60fps. Is that right? Also since I do not have any x box games, buying a digital version would not impact BC for me. Many thanks! |
Resolution will certainly be different between Series S and X but framerates could change as well.
It all depends on what the game is targeting on Series X. On the other hand, I'm sure there will be plenty of modes to choose from.
A 4k 30FPS game on Series X will likely have a 1440p 60FPS mode and on Series S you will likely have a choice between 1440p 30FPS and 1080p 60FPS (along with some other minor reductions in shadow/lighting/texture quality.)
The only real problem would arise IF a game targets 1080p 30FPS (or 1080p 60FPS) on Series X. Then Series S would need to go below 900p in order to keep the 30FPS in the first example or 900p 30FPS in the second example. That's a very unlikely case though. Probably only if we get something as unoptimized as Ark on the platform.
