So we've had three different tech reviews with three different pixel counts. lol
This is what happens when resolutions are dynamic.

- Series X and PS5 both target 4K. In a general gameplay view PS5 is 1728p to 1872p, whereas Series X in the same scenes seems to be 1872p to 2016p.
- Series S is 1080p to 1224p.
- PS5 level of detail for vegetation is slightly higher than Series X.
- PS5 loads slightly faster.
- On both PS5 and Series X the game suffers from a weird camera stutter not found on PC.
- All console versions manage to hit 60 fps really well during heavy combat. Alex find annoying the traversal stutter and tearing present on all version including PC. In the exact same test PS5 seems to fare worse. The issue is present even on Alex's core i9 10900K + RTX 3090, even when set to 1080p. It seems to be something engine related present since Far Cry 4.

VG Tech and Digital Foundry are very close to each other though. Neither of them were able to get a 4k image with the PS5, but we're able to do so with the XSX.So we've had three different tech reviews with three different pixel counts. lol
This is like the 5th time in recent memory that NXG has gotten figures that are quite different from both Digital Foundry and VG Tech.
Pick who you want to believe I guess.

Seems closer than the VGtech comparison.
Edit: just wanted to add that DRS is making these comparisons more difficult. Very different than the Pro vs One X days where one is locked at 1440P while the other is locked at 4K.

Appears so. Also it's a old engine.

This isn't a matter of believing or disbelieving any of them. Simply an acknowledgment that none of them had the exact same results and they all could be right.

NXG said that "the target is 2160p", the same thing Alex says in his analysis, and that most cinematics are indeed 4K on PS5, but during gameplay "from my count it does (dip below 4K), it often sits somewhere around 3200x1800".

Vegetation in the distance. Up close and even medium distance is exactly the same, without zooming in on screenshots you wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Don't the cinematics play at 30FPs? That would account for the native 4K on the PS5 at those points.
Anyways it doesn't seem like a disaster for the PS5 IMO.

Then perhaps it's time to cancel Gaf's jihad against EADB.

His only issue isn't just limited to pixel counting though. Doubt he would have been banned just because his pixel counting results are not the same as everyone else.

ps5 dips too much with tearing and no vrr still?
I love how people post screenshots and then create their own narrative despite the video saying something entirely different. Why don't you quote what Alex actually said?
Edit: fuck me that post history, it's another one of meirl's alts.

Dude, I was literally quoting Alex. I'll do it once again.
"... the one difference between Series X and PS5 I've been able to find, and that is that PS5 level of detail quality for vegetation specifically is slightly higher than that found on Xbox Series X".
Don't tell me, tell Alex.

I wonder if that camera stutter is the cause of the weird control issues I've been experiencing on ps5. It's an almost lag type feeling, or I'll move the stick and it'll move slightly more then when I stopped.

It definitely feels like NX Gamer is off on these pixel counts.

Now quote the part where he says that it's vegetation in the distance lol.Dude, I was literally quoting Alex. I'll do it once again.

Don't tell me, tell Alex.
He's the only one that found no resolution advantage to the xbox. Given his history and the subject of most of his videos, I don't think that's surprising.

Well Digital Foundry calling out his framerate tools was one of them. They basically said not to trust him when it comes to framerate counts.

LOD is often tied to distance, so saying higher LOD can indeed mean higher detail level in the distance.

No, and in that same situation (driving) the Series X also drops a frame or two and has tearing. Apart from that Alex said the performance is a solid 60fps and tearing/framerate drops are "not too common and not a big deal" across all platforms.
When driving the PS5 does get hit worse but he puts it down to an issue with the Dunia engine since the very same problem has been around since FC4 and even hits the PC in the same way unless you turn all the settings off or to low.
He discusses it from 13:24.

Conveniently so.
Its not like most people even care about far cry tho so idk what's the point here besides trying to stir shit up. You played Far Cry 3, you've played them all.

I tell you what i like about digital foundry is that they always clearly state how the consoles compare in the same scene. Its just clearer and helps you understand how each area is rendered.

Dude, I tried to write a summary of the most important data, not to stress the parts you like, which honestly I don't care about. I repeat, it's a summary, not a transcription of a 20 minute long video. Those who want to know every word and detail just have to click on play and watch the video.
You can read the article too.

"Although very subtle, PS5's geometry quality level does seem to be very slightly higher than Series X's".
Sorry if you don't like Alex's wording. Contact him on Twitter, maybe he can do something about it. I can't.
Yes because if they keep the RT load light by using less effects/less ray counts/less complex bvh Nvidia can't put it's RT hardware to full use so reduces the performance gap.

Only the PC version is capable to rectifying that. - Ubisoft, probably

Don't embarrass yourself now. NXG and DF argue both resolution is very close between the 2 console, reading the VG Tech data you get a total different picture. Someone there even tried to say he perceived the difference in blurriness with the XSX and ps5 which it's literally laughable. But some people just like to continue his personal battle again NXG because he said more positive stuff when ps5 is involved.

i like how totally not mentions that the Consoles use the HD Textures Package quite easily. Textur Settings are not even a Point in his "optimised Settings" Usually he includes the Texturesettings but here? Where the Current Gen Consoles whil have an Edge over many PCs - no mention of it. Not a Word.

traversal stutter on all systems , even with SSDs ubisoft cant optimize in game loading
