DF: Assassin's Creed Valhalla PS5 v. Xbox Series X/S (PS5 15% Performance Advantage)

[CrookedAzzNikka]

So, similar to our first Series X vs PS5 platform comparison, we're looking at feature parity - but again, performance is where there is a difference. With Devil May Cry 5, Xbox Series X enjoyed a small lead in most rendering modes, falling short against PS5 in 120Hz gaming. With AC Valhalla, there's only one mode and 60fps is the target. While there are problems on both systems, Xbox Series X obviously fares worse. To put things into context, Valhalla targets 60 frames per second, but when the engine is under heavy load and can't render a new frame within the 16.7ms target, it'll present the new frame when it's good and ready, while your screen is updating. This causes screen tearing. Both systems can have issues here, especially in cutscenes, and sometimes in gameplay. However, the key takeaway is that PlayStation 5 is much closer to the 60fps target more of the time, while Xbox Series X can struggle. In fact, at its worst, we noted PS5 delivering a 15 per cent performance advantage over its Microsoft equivalent in identical scenarios.

Unexpected.

Microsoft sure is trying to sell their VRR feature in a weird way

Not gonna get amped up yet considering its Ubisoft who only a lil bit better than Bethesda when it comes to properly optimizing games and word is developers got tools late compared to usual.

Cyberpunk is probably the better game to use for results

But but but....terraflops! Most powerful console ever, and the best place to play multiplats!

@Mountain what was that about the better console to play third party ?

 

[Joe Sixpack]

This to me has nothing to do with the system limitations at this point. Both of these systems are powerhouses. This has to be the programmers.

They are not getting the most out of the system

If loading previous gen games faster is their moment then indeed

It funny because I’ve seen xbots bothering the digital foundry team for this video for the past week for bragging rights and look at what happened.

Looking bad for Xbox. Really no reason to buy one at this point.
