Xbox Series X full specs revealed

[iceberg_is_on_fire]

However, the compatibility team is renowned for pushing the envelope and some of the early work we saw with Series X is mouthwatering. Microsoft has already promised improved image fidelity, steadier frame-rate and faster loading times, but the early demos we saw look even more promising - and it is indeed the case that hints dropped in Phil Spencer's recent Series X blog post will result in selected Xbox One S titles running at higher resolutions on the new console. In fact, we saw Gears of War Ultimate Edition operating with a 2x resolution scale on both axes, taking a 1080p game all the way up to native 4K. It's an evolution of the Heutchy Method used to bring Xbox 360 720p titles up to full 4K, with often spectacular results. Crucially, the back-compat team does all the heavy lifting at the system level - game developers do not need to participate at all in the process.

"We are exploring ways of improving, maybe, a curated list of games," says Peggy Lo, compatibility program lead for Xbox. "Things that we are are looking at include improving resolution for games, improving frame-rates - maybe doubling them! And the way we're doing it is really exploring multiple methods. So we knew what we were doing with the Heutchy Method, maybe we'll change it a bit, there's a there's a few other methods that we're exploring.

"What we're probably not going to do is explain all those methods today because we're still in the process of figuring out what exact method will be best for the Series X but I want you to feel confident that we have a solution that we can fall back on or that we will always keep pushing forward to."

thank god they upgraded that IO throughput... 120 mbps on the one X is disgusting and disrespectful cant wait till this series X drops

 

[PS5 Pro]

got 4x the return as of right now with what I paid.....been won

Until Sony stocks plummet, and since they had to join Microsoft you know it's only a matter of time. Especially since the ps5 will be delayed and series x will not

nikkas feeling froggy

They saying we gone eat

Haven’t been keeping up with this, what’s the word on external storage? What’s the max amount we can add with usb drives,

Usb drives

Still not enough. My One X is maxed out on storage with a small handful of games

im waitin to the Sony/Microsoft refreshes anyway, hopefully those ship with a 2 tb option and they drop a 2 tb external ssd

You have 1tb, the storage makes it 2tb. Games will download faster because of the drives and faster internet. You won't have to wait as long on average, trust me...

Crazy. And yea u shoulda known that GTX 1070 was a wrap bruh. But yea that’s very impressive. shyt I will gladly eat my words if this shyt is overall killing a 2080ti. But it doesn’t say anything about PC Ultra Settings tho. It just says they turned some settings on that was off on the One X.

Uh, your words was it wouldn't touch a 1080 anything and that we was ignorant console gamers for thinking anything different. And those settings was on ultra but somebody already pointed that out...

It’s an RTX 2080 essentially,
Xbox Series X early tests indicate NVIDIA RTX 2080 performance

The article which is an updated article i already posted for you when we had are disagreement on this exact topic... says what they shown so far is on par with a 2080 but that NONE OF THE SYSTEM FEATURES ARE BEING USED IN THE FOOTAGE THEY COMPARED. It's not optimized, it's only been 2 weeks. Your attempts at downplaying what is at hand is hilarious tho, never change

This is how you Sony and pc guys been acting every step of the way, tell us why

It aint about download speeds for me, just need more room for games. got a bunch of games i had to uninstall because not enough space. Thats why im hoping the refresh thatll prolly drop in 2-3 years has 2TB on board and they got a 2TB memory card by then. 4TB should be enough for most of my games.

I updated Master Chief Collection this week and had to clear space, shyt was saying it need 60GB for the patch

Cod is 150gb on there one x, i get it. But it uploads faster too. So faster downloads and uploads will change the way we download. I have 100 games downloaded but i only play 7? The cloud will keep your games moving forward with easy transfer of data when you're ready for it. You'll see bruh bruh...

That’s a lie. I never once in this thread said it wouldn’t touch a 1080. Point out one place in the thread that I said that. Don’t lie on my name.

Problem with u is that I’m gonna have the Series X before u. Same way I had the One X before u. Same way I had an Xbox One before u. See. I make purchases. I speak on shyt I have physical experience with. I been praising the Series X from the beginning. I just didn’t believe it would be better than a 2080ti and I ALSO said that if it someone matches it I will eat my words but we gotta see this thing in action and not just go off a damn spec number. Which is the REASONABLE and non fanboy thing to do. But u grown ass men on here don’t understand reason. I ALSO said I’m getting a 3080ti anyway so all this talk about the console being better than ANY set up I will have is retarded. I have also said that these consoles being so powerful is GREAT for the future of gaming and graphic fidelity. U can find post all thruout this thread with me saying these things.

Let me explain something to you you dumb ass nikka, you don't know me
You got an xb1x before me? Wow, congratulations. How many homeless people you feed last year? I'll wait... you got an xbox one before me? I ordered mine when orders opened up via the xbox 360 dashboard, easiest you could order it. So why would you say you got that first? Could it be you was on one i got 500 xbox games in total... lets compare that if you wanna compare. If you speak only on shyt you own then i don't wanna see you in another series x thread until you get one. So now that I've gotten all the grand standing out the way none of that has a thing to do with you're knowledge on how these systems work. You look for reasons to hate, then you back peddle like a muhfukka. The fact you're saying find in THIS thread like if you didn't recently get called out in possibly another thread? The wording makes you guilty and a psycho. It's like saying LG4K

My nikka, you said 100x that the xbox wouldn't touch a 2080 and we all had a good laugh when you tried to back off that statement. You don't have to do it this way bruh bruh world could be ending soon and you still holding on to your pride. I hope that 3080 comes out soon so you can feel elite again with your overpriced outdated gpu

Long but pretty dope and nerdy Two game cubes stacked together so it won't be that tall ...
