E3 2017: Destiny 2 On Xbox One X Runs At 30 FPS, Just Like PS4 Pro

Is anybody really surprised by this? Bungie has hated MS since they left. Its no telling how much Sony is paying them to keep it like this. But that was an issue when Microsoft was doing the parity clauses. but now it seems its ok for Sony.

@xboxonex: A true native 4K 60 machine? Your just the kind of consumer Microsoft wants- somebody who will believe everything they say, and buy everything they want you to. Its not just Microsoft though.

Fact is, the GPU is essentially in the mid power range of a GTX 1060 or a RX 580- probably closer to the performance of a 580 due to the 8GB of RAM that card has. A couple of years back this kind of power would be found with a GTX 980 or an R9 390X.

I can tell you for a fact, as someone who has owned at least two of the cards I mention above (I now employ multi GPU), that if you think your going to get 4K 60 for anything, but, perhaps, MS in house titles that don't require too much performance (or indy games)- your fooling your self. These cards can barely push 4K 30 with most titles- and to get the 30FPS you'd have too be running medium to medium-high settings (depending on the game) with most effects off or lowered. Anisotropic Filtering, which XB1X supports, does not use a lot of resources, however.

Another, hit would be the CPU, which I'm taking a wait and see approach for. The memory controller they built into it which is supposed to limit many instructions to only a few, will be a feature to make up for the shorts falls of the CPU- which is essentially within the power range of an Intel I3. This feature will undoubtedly be what allows MS to run their in-house games at 4K 60 since they will continue to heavily utilize another of their products with their games- DirectX12- as the API. This box and DX12 were made for each other.

The XB1X is essentially a mid-lo to mid range gaming pc (though, for me to be comfortable calling it mid range I would have liked to have seen a better CPU and more RAM). Though, as a console, it is quite a specimen. Also, while software optimization will also play a role in how well the box performs outside its ranking- do not be fooled by anyone telling you this is a 4K 60 machine though and through- there's no way in hell. MS is full of shyte and they're deliberately going after the technologically ignorant mainstream (not hardcore enthusiasts like they say) with these half truths.

@xboxonex: Not everyone is out to "cut" them down. Some would just like to know what the extra $100 they're being asked to spend is gonna actually do for them. The first big AAA cross platform games to launch around the X are no different than any other console version. It isn't for the 4K Blu-ray player, you can buy a One S for that. Assassins Creed Origins is running a dynamic 4K resolution on all platforms. Don't forget that Origins was premiered at the MS conference, so they're not in Sony's pocket.

@xboxonex: with an extra 1.8 teraflops you're not going to get double the resolution and double the frame rate. The games that will hit 4K 60fps will be the less demanding ones. If that was the case gears 4 would get 4K at 60 fps on both campaign and online.

@xboxonex: Why waste time typing all that crap, the new xbox is not capable of 4k 60fps if its a demanding game like destiny, you are a victim of microsft hype because they want you to spend $500 for nothing, learn tech before you run your mouth

@xboxonex: TL;DR Guy doesn't know about X1X's CPU bottleneck also (btw, I own all consoles/PC so no bias here).

You can tell that Sony payed Bungie to keep the Xbox One X version from being better than the PS4 Pro version.

Like all third parties.

Too bad their first party is tiny.

Also, i swear Bungie said its the shitty jag CPU.

The next generation of consoles better have 60fps as minimum, don't want another mid/upgrade consoles being held back because of parity.

So in other words go pc if you want actual 21st century experience and not 90s 30fps garbage!

must be running on the same shit engine as the last game

No problem.Kids dont care if it is 30 fps or 60 fps.They will buy it first day.They wont notice the difference anyway :D :D

LOL at Bungie and Destiny poo. I was going to say I feel sorry for the people who purchase this game, but I won't because you're allowing them to get away with shit like this by paying for this game.

Look at all the "schadenfreude" sad ppl lol

But exactly those ppl will be quiet when another fps comes out and runs at 4k/60fps.

I've said from the start the One X will struggle, it will have too small a market share to justify third party devs doing anything for it.

It's going to be pretty rehashes of Forza, Halo, Gears...rinse repeat.

Of course it does, considering they have a deal with Sony.

I lolled.
