Dirt 5: Digital Foundry Console Comparison - PlayStation 5 vs Xbox Series X/Series S + Performance - Every Game Mode Tested

It's shocking to people who only look at the compute

So, 99.8% of people, as much as I disagree with it.

Moreover, I never saw anything to the contrary that wasn’t fanboys trying to come up with some kind of ad-hoc power advantage. We knew the PS5 would be very, very efficient. We never had any kind of indication that it would be better.

So, yes, being shocked by the results is okay.

1000$+ PC cannot lock onto 60fps. We have to wait for MS and AMD software drivers and GDK to mature.
RX6800 which is closer to Series X in specs, dips below 60. It is the tools.

Why do you bring PC 4K version of the game when consoles obviously won't be 4K native and with lower settings?

Could be an honest mistake from Codemasters. I think they're mistakenly using XSS settings on the XSX.

Un-smart delivery by any chance?

Matt from Era but he says the PS5 will win some and the XSX will win others.
Wow, what astonishing wisdom. This Matt is a genius.

VRR cannot be used as a solution to these problems. You can’t expect people to buy a VRR capable TV and say “done”.

The same logic: "When you have issues with the road then buy a freaking plane."

If anything I really can’t help but wonder if Series S is a large part of the problem so far

Kind of makes you wonder, doesn’t it? I’d guess that with resolution and framerate being what’s dropping on X, though, it’s not the case. If S were holding X back, it’d be in the asset quality itself.

The tools, on the other hand, trying to handle two systems configurations, and every single PC one, instead of just focusing on one...

People just ignored it


My bad I thought I insulted you or something.

But it's true that proof makes everything easier to understand.


I backed up all my claims with data even if people thought it didn't make sense.

You need to relax. DF isn't like you, where you want to take all the early results of tests on launch games and use that as proof PS5 is better then Xbox. I'd say it's a pretty obvious bug if both 120hz modes on the X/S are using the same LOD. posting a twitter clip from the DF video doesn't disprove what they said. If codemasters comes out and says this is not a bug, or doesn't fix it in a patch, then you can claim superiority.

Basically this comes down to you wanting to crown PS5 king, and DF is holding off doing that as launch titles are typically down to the wire, and not indicative of performance compared to tiles released months out.
Are we waiting on xbox secret sauce or the tools? would ps get the same luxury?
 
There is a good chance it will perform worse than PS5 if the settings are matched, judging by the 60hz mode performance.

Exactly! Oh but remember 60fps mode is great on Series X because you can "Just turn on VRR". I'm really disappointed in John Linneman's take and especially damage control for Series X performance and how he continued to throw in a VRR line to make it seem both consoles are equals.

Seriously this is worse than AC Valhala theres something obviouly wrong here with the Series X coding

CPU problem ?

Wheres that 12 tf advantage gone ?

Cos from what im seeing it doesnt translate very well here

Why don't they compare the controllers for this one? Imo dualsense is a huge advantage
Man it's already tough swallow such pill, leave them a bit of mercy, they can't be so heartless with their major userbase.

VRR cannot be used as a solution to these problems. You can’t expect people to buy a VRR capable TV and say “done”. It’s on the developers to fix these issues.

Of course it can be used as a solution, it's a supported feature on Xbox hardware. Yes devs should do better as 25% tanking of framerate is unacceptable gameplay wise, your going to feel that with no VRR.
I just got a VRR set and it makes Valhalla and Dirt 5 perfect with no tearing or stutter to deal with. Shouldn't give devs a pass but at least I have it to give me the best performance.
 
Yall watched the video and came away wanting to have a console war.

I watched the video and told myself it looks like shxt regardless of platform and wouldnt let it come near my xsx or my ps5 🤣.

This does look like a mobile game, regardless of platform :messenger_grinning_squinting:

Codemasters really put some bullshit out 🤷🏾‍♂️

The game looks like hot trash on Youtube. But it looks good when you play it.

Theoretical Max Vs Real ?

That's honestly what I'm seeing from both systems. It could be that the PS5 is getting closer to it's theoretical maximums than the XSX is.

Everyone already reacted negatively when the game was first showed.
Now its a matter of who made the right investment.

In my mind..the Series X should came on top based on that extra teraflops..

But there in that high ress zoomed picture it looks like league behind...

So...what exactly happened here?

Now..im a casual..and dont understand about these complex...computational programing...or whatever that is..

Now...

Wheres that VFX dude when we need him?

We deserve some explanation from the tech expert here...

If you're going to spend £1000 on an Xbox and TV you may as well just buy a PC.

I think we have a Mac vs Pc situation here, when we are talking about specific work the optimization is king.
I don't buy that much the "update can resolve all problems" thing because both of the consoles will improve with time and Cerny have already made clear the "devs at the center " ps5 philosophy so the improvement on the ps5 side will be an open road.

I never thought I’d hear 570p on a console yet here we are.
Are Microsoft the new Nintendo LOL.

At least now the childish/jealous jabs from MS PR will end. That was pathetic and the fanboys pretending like it was some epic marketing were just as trash.

This is a damning report for xbox for sure. Sony got it right. MS should have delayed the entire console along with halo and scrapped the weak xbox while they were at it.
