Think this was posted yesterday. I remember tasting PC gamer tears.

whoops, no it isn't. Good find. HAHAHAHAHA bone.

Why would this cause PC gamer tears? At launch, xfire 7970s, I had more fps and better graphics.

Dunno why you felt the need to bring something like this up console peasant.

 

[Paracelsus]

What would it be like with 8% more?

 

[VariantX]

Damn, not even close in terms of performance.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Sounds like it's capped at 30...

Case close ?

Case close.

Not that close at all.

 

[GameSeeker]

That's a more dramatic difference in framerate than the early reports had guessed. This is why it's important to get actual data, not just opinions from folks who think the frame rate "60fps" or "45fps" or 30fps". Those people are just guessing.

The PS4 is very significantly outperforming the Xbone in this game as well as several others (BF4, CoD). This bodes well for Sony first party exclusives to deliver some excellent games that take advantage of that extra horsepower.

 

[Coulomb_Barrier]

Huuge difference.

 

[bombshell]

GAMEPLAY
Xbox One
Lowest FPS: 24fps
Highest FPS: 30fps
Average FPS: 29.84fps

Cinematic framerate confirmed.

Xbox One
Lowest FPS: 24fps
Highest FPS: 30fps
Average FPS: 29.84fps

Yup, thats an average of 35-40 as per Bgamer.

 

[chubigans]

Aw, they usually upload a 60fps video to Mega...can't seem to find a link.

 

[Speedy Blue Dude]

Guys, it's pretty close!

Yeah, 27 frames (low) vs 33 frames (low). Wow Microsoft closing that gap!

Spoiler

Wow, Xbox One hitting 30 frames? What happened to it hitting 45 frames. What the hell are you doing Microsoft. This difference is hilariously bad.

 

[2San]

I think consoles need gsync the most.

TressFX is a real resource hog.

They should put in an option to turn that stuff off then.

 

[tipoo]

The minimum framerate on the PS4 is pretty good, the dips are more of a bother than anything else but it manages to stay above 30 even on the lowest. Average is nice too.

 

[statham]

Wow, I thought XB1 was 30-45 and PS4 was 45-60.

XB1 not even averaging 30, though...

Its locked at 30 on XBO and unlocked on PS4 is what I think I'm reading.

 

[djplaeskool]

Lol, unlocked 30-60 is much much worse than locked 30. Nixxes, you done goofed

The average is high enough to tell you the dips (though noticeable) aren't frequent.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

Having played the ps4 version for nearly 7 hours this weekend, I never once thought this game was dipping that far below 60FPS. It is a stellar piece of work and will be a permanent part of my collection.

 

[esterk]

PS4 WINSSSJSIZIFeoapxcDJIDJSjjJ

In all seriousness, while this is pretty interesting, I don't think stuff like this will ultimately matter over the course of this gen.

 

[speculawyer]

20+ page thread incoming?


It probably isn't that big of a deal between the versions but this is not going to help Xbone. Paying more and getting less doesn't sit well with people.

 

[Bor]

looking forward to reading alot about how the "silky smooth" locked 30 is alot better than a "stuttery" avg framerate of 50

 

[XANDER CAGE]

Lol, unlocked 30-60 is much much worse than locked 30. Nixxes, you done goofed

Neither version is a locked (consistent, at least) 30, though. It's kind of a lose lose.

 

[FrankCaron]

100 page thread aside, I don't understand why CD didn't just 30 fps lock the PS4 version and or give it a little bit of extra luster. Stable performance is better than variable performance, even if the 60 would be more desirable were it stable.

 

[abracadaver]

We knew about the performance. Are there any graphical differences ? Textures, shadow quality etc. ?

 

[anexanhume]

Would love to see the numbers with XB1 unlocked. Instead, we only know it wasn't close enough to the PS4 version to justify being unlocked, and we've got a 24 FPS vs 33 FPS min absolute comparison (37.5% improvement PS4 vs XB1).

 

[Unknown Soldier]

My God, it's full of stars!

So what happened to inventing DirectX and not giving up a 30% advantage, Penello?

 

[Mpl90]

This is gonna be an outstaaaaaanding thread, I can feel it. Holy wow, the differencies between PS4 and One in this case.

This is certainly a combination of lower specs + hard architecture to work with, right?

 

[Seik]

Honestly, I'd rather it be locked at 30. I notice massive fluctuations like the PS4 has way more than i notice a lower, but consistent, framerate.

Except it's not locked.

You'll notice a framerate going below 30 fps way more than something fluctuating between 40-60 fps imo.

Both seems to be inconsistent, except one has a very better framerate than the other.

 

[Kinyou]

So if I get this right, the gap is especially big because XB1 runs it locked and PS4 unlocked?

 

[Tagyhag]

TressFX is a real resource hog.

TressFX 2.0 is much better optimized, albeit less impressive. MS really has no excuse.

 

[Chobel]

Another development source we reached out to suggests that the DX11 'driver' for the Xbox One still requires a lot of work

Get your shit together MS.

 

[Orca]

That's a significant difference in performance.

As they pointed out though, that difference is largely based on the decision to cap the Xbox version at 30 instead of allowing it to go higher and create more noticeable judder.

 

[CokasPT]

I don't get it, why they capped the framerate on Xbox One?

 

[endresults]

Why would this cause PC gamer tears? At launch, xfire 7970s, I had more fps and better graphics.

Dunno why you felt the need to bring something like this up console peasant.

It was due to the console exclusivity for the tweaked version IIRC. I'm platform agnostic, btw, and have TR on PC.

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Good for PS4.

 

[bombshell]

Its locked at 30 on XBO and unlocked on PS4 is what I think I'm reading.

Locked 30? It dips to 24 fps.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Get your shit together MS.

That is what i was thinking,some things don't seem on point.

 

[Shin-Ra]

Cinematic framerate confirmed.

Damn, beat me to it.

 

[RedAssedApe]

so that polygon guy was right. it is hard to tell 30 from 60?

 

[Netherscourge]

CAPPED at 30fps, not LOCKED.

 

[alr1ght]

100 page thread aside, I don't understand why CD didn't just 30 fps lock the PS4 version and or give it a little bit of extra luster. Stable performance is better than variable performance, even if the 60 would be more desirable were it stable.

Would COD benefit from locked 30? As with most "60 fps games" it's never a constant 60.

 

[MDSLKTR]

I hope they release the pc on ultra comparisons soon

 

[BigDug13]

Why lock the framerate on the Xbox? That seems odd.

Because it would judder worse. When you allow the XBO video processing to have exact slices of time to render each frame, it does so more consistently. I know on Saints Row IV PC I'll go from 40fps to 20fps all the time, but then enabling a frame limter to 30fps causes it to be able to ride that 30fps more consistently without those drops into the 20's as often.

 

[skybald]

Should have just locked PS4 at 30. Why do I want the frame rate all over like that? I don't

At least give us the option to unlock it or lock it

 

[Ridley327]

That's a whole lot of extra gravy.

 

[Lord Error]

70% higher average framerate on PS4, and 40% higher lowest fps..

 

[Bundy]

My God, it's full of stars!

So what happened to inventing DirectX and not giving up a 30% advantage, Penello?

Keep calm!
With the extra 8% GPU, the Xbone will soon achive an "average of 30fps"

 

[mohsinkhan]

Damn that magical difference.

 

[statham]

You'll notice a framerate going below 30 fps way more than something fluctuating between 40-60 fps imo.

Both seems to be inconsistent, except one has a very better framerate than the other.

those dips seem rare if its averaging 29.84fps for gameplay with something that can't go over 30.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Who said on the last thread about this the one was unlocked frame rate?

Why is it now capped at 30?

 

[Van Owen]

Someone needs to add DF's horizontal FPS overlay to this.

 

[R3TRO]

Well....

Well what? I read the article and beat the game on ps4 but thanks for pointing that out /s

 

[jayu26]

CAPPED at 30fps, not LOCKED.

If you have unlocked framerate, why would you cap it at 30? That doesn't make any sense...
