DF: Hitman 3 PS5 vs Xbox Series X|S Comparison: An Xbox Advantage At 4K

• No modes. One mode at 60fps
• Series X native 4K/60 fps
• Series S is native 1080p/60
• Series S gets high textures and Series X uses ultra textures
• PS5 native 1800p/60 with the same ultra textures
• Shadow quality is best on Series X at High PS5 at Medium and S at Low
• AF at 8x on all consolles
• Series S only shows drops in the Mendoza level in a field
• Series X locked 60 with very small dips during sniper rifle shots and running in the field
• PS5 is locked at 60 as well but does not drop in the Mendoza level
• Identical loading for next gen consoles in loading with PS5 in front by a split second

I'll play it as the master of Hitman games (Ghosts) intended: on PC.

Console games are movie games.

Xbox Series X native 4k lock. Performance 60fps lock (outside of one spot on one map). Max setting outside of shadows which is set to high.

Xbox Series S native HD (1080p) lock 60fps outside of one spot on one map). High and medium settings.

PS5 1800p and lock 60fps regardless of map. Max settings except for shadows set to medium.

Loading times across the board are near identical. The PS5 SSD still proving its not worth it.

Xbox Series X is the clear winner and much more crisp than PS5.

Now that Xbox is getting there tools in order we are beginning to see higher resolution, higher settings and performance. Well done Xbox. Well done.

Bu buh but, teh SSD. 😂

I can't forget the amount of push back I got from Sony fannies when I said that the SSD is NOT a game changer and that based on PC benchmarks, above a certain speed it doesn't matter.

I was also told that the PS5 was faster than the Series X and that it would always outperform the Series X for the entire generation. What month and year is this again?😎

What's better, native 4k or 1800p and 0.4sec faster loading screens? 🤣🤣🤣

PS5 still falling short of hiting 8k/120. But at least the SSD is vastly superior.

Damn the tools have finally arrived.

😂

We already know first party will make use of the SSD, no idea why it keeps getting mentioned. Same for the controller to be honest.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut. Too bad it's a game no one cares about.

Every game on the PS5 makes use of the SSD. There is no secret sauce.

Yikes! It's 2021, when will consoles get with the times?

Wait why is AF 8x? PC's have been able to do AF 16x for over a decade with virtually no performance loss. Why do we still see lower quality AF on consoles? They can handle 16x no problem surely.

It is weird to see people make such a big deal about anisotropic filtering.🤷‍♀️

Not making a big deal. AF is basically free visual upgrade. Why not just max it out?

Last gen there were reasons, but now?

That is a question for the developers. It is my understanding that the implementation is negligible and doable on both systems. There is a reason that is unknown to us.

This thread is underperforming. I wonder why.

That’s more like it. The Devs must have got their toolz finally

Yeah this is first clear win. Not a few fps on this mode a few fps on this mode. One drops to a lower res a few scenes. They mentioned vrs was going to be used maybe this was was the difference.

Devs finally got their tools now Series X can show its true power over PS5!

I see tools being mentioned. I hope this is sarcasm.

Even as a lem...

The XSX drops to the 50s in one level and the PS5 doesn't drop at all. 1800p to 4k is only 15%? They should have just raised the PS5 resolution to 4k.

It should be obvious that the frame-rate drop is anomaly that can be fixed. If the PS5 could have played at 4k 60FPS, they would have but they didn't. Most PS5 owners would appreciate the performance being constant than uprezing and the performance tanking.

DF think it's because of the foliage. I doubt it's an anomaly when it consistently is below 60.

The PS5 would have maybe dipped in the 50s as well but the fact the game doesn't have a single dip at 1800p means it could have been pushed harder.

If the PS5 could have been pushed harder they would have but they didn't because they couldn't. The entire game runs at 60fps on the Series X at a higher resolution except for this one section. That is literally an anomaly.

By that logic the XSX couldn't run AC unity at 1440p then either yet somehow the PS5 could.

Even though the PS5 is outselling the xbsex by the millions, this is still really good news for the xbox fans. congrats !!

So then you agree all head to heads where Xbx falls short of PS5 it’s due to power limitations. Because if Xbx could have been pushed harder to match PS5 performance, they would have, correct? mr developer “I’m not a lem” Piedro. What a clown lol

Watching the video now and it’s certainly a nice and clean looking game.

From this point forward I expect this sort of outcome to be the norm.

Sony fans were delusional if they thought a 10.3 teraflop console was going to outperform the 12.2 Teraflop Console forever

I skipped the first two, but after watching doc stream it, i am kinda interested. The art style they got going is great. Plus this game seems to be so well optimized on pc. 100fps+ on my 1070 on ultra and 1080p is pretty good. In 1440p 60fps+ should be guaranteed.

How is a ps5 having a hard time running this? Wasn't RDNA2 supposed to be godly compared to my old ass 1070?

@Juub1990: Dunno man, I always heard it's because of weak console CPUs

But the new Xbox and PS5 have a more than capable CPU to provide AFx16

Now this shows the true power of Xbox Series X.

2021 will be the year PS5 is put in its place.

Xbox Series X is the best console out there.

Greatness awaits! Believe in Phil, Nads and Xbeard!

I am so sorry, I mistook your comments as someone who favors facts. My bad.

another easy xbox win

Poo cows. lol :P

PS5 is doomed, isn't it?

Nice dips on the xbox. Ps5 is smooth sailing at 60 fps. It hasn’t

Even been fully patched for ps5 either. Premium experience on ps5 confirmed.

@sts106mat: damage control begins! Xbox series x, the 50 fps machine!

No it's Series X 4K Ultra Textures/High Shadows

PS5 1800p Ultra Textures/Medium Shadows

Everything else is identical. But yes the Series X wins this one and the minor dips in a particular area are negligible enough.

The scope issue can easily be fixed in mendoza level , looks like a inherited issue from the Series S to X transition, if the other consoles doesn't run at 4K and has medium settings is for a reason.

@sts106mat: ultra settings for ps5, 50 fps dips on xbox 50 fps series x. You can’t read yet call people stupid.

Total loser!
