Jumped back on Gears 4 recently for a quick change, noticed that on my Xbox One X there was the option to choose either Performance OR Visuals mode. Choosing visuals is really clunky so always gone for the Performance option.
Got a Series X as well now, so having played Gears 5 on the SX I wondered how well Gears 4 held up, even with the Series X the enhanced settings is still just the same choice of one or the other, and Visuals is still super clunky - would there there any plans / ideas to upgrade Gears 4 so that the SX can run both at the same time or even just a âFPS Boostâ patch so that when running Visuals the frame rate is smoothed out considerably better than it is now??
Thanks, just double checked my SX - didnt see the â+FPS Boostâ icon on Gears 4, turns out it FPS Boost is turned off by default on the SX⌠âFPS Boost is not automatically enabled for Xbox Series X gamers, but can easily be turned on under the Compatibility Options in the Manage game and add-ons settingâ
FPS boost is pointless on Series X, as it runs all modes at 60 FPS on the Xbox One resolution, which goes to 1080p.
On the One X enhanced version, the performance mode runs at 1080p 60 FPS on Campaign and Horde. Itâs exactly the same resolution and frame rate as FPS boost.
The only people who really benefit from FPS boost are those who have Series S, who donât have access to the One X version of Gears 4.
EDIT: Just a note, if you enable FPS boost, you wonât be able to choose between the Performance and Visuals modes.
Kinda - afaik it locks certain games at 60 fps. Take NG2 for example - on the OneX you would still get massive fps-drops during the staircase-fight - on SeX itâs hardlocked at 60fps.
Yeah Iâve poorly phrased that. I was specifically referring to Gears 4 but I havenât been clear with that.
I remember Battlefield 4 (I think) running better with FPS boost, and I do hope TC just do FPS boost on the older titles rather than going through the effort of remastering the games.
A lot of them are good with FPS boost, but in this case I wouldnât do it on a Series X, I would actually be intrigued to know if FPS boost is enabled, if the storage size you need is reduced as it will be running on the XO version.
How is this possibly marked as a solution, ? This is pure speculation, isnât it? There is no reference to any official TC communication, there is no link to an official TC post/update⌠How is this allowed?
