Thanks @NXGamer!

I'm glad NX covered what I've been saying for a long time. Running a true 4k backbuffer will enhance every single 2D framebuffer made for the game including all assets, texturing, and post-processing - this makes for an extremely more detailed render than 1440p scaled up to 4k.

I'll be testing this on m y 3090 tomorrow with max settings at 4k native.

As I get this a great deal, I will try to post any new videos/articles I do on my Channel and IGN. Yesterday I posted the Spider-Man PC comparison to PS5 and Steam Deck.

Brilliant! As always.

Fidelity mode is good enough for me.

I remember that game!

The Xbox vs PS5 section sometimes just sounds like an Xbox commercial (the upgrades part). I love how people don't mention that those decisions are developer related, and that "smart delivery" just delivers both Series X and Series S versions in a bundle to those consoles, so it's not really smart.

I will let it here because I think it is only the first impression and won't have enough engagement in discussion for a new thread.

ILikeFeed's summary.

• character rendering isn't state of the art, but the art pops
• no advanced rendering techniques like physically based materials or screen space reflections
• environmental lighting is baked and real time shadows doesn't match lighting
• environment is of relatively low polycount, misaligned cubemaps, questionable texture res
• lacking per pixel motion blur or high quality dof
• SMT5 has more advanced rendering techniques
• dungeons are barren and flat, and very often repeated
• city environments are better design, if small
• no AA whatsoever, lots of shimmering
• current gen high end
  • 2160p in quality
  • 1800p in performance
  • text is blurrier in performance mode
• SS
  • 1152p
  • no mode selection
  • 2D is even more blurry
• quality mode is 30fps, with no motion blur, so it's a bit chunky in motion, locked 30
• performance mode is near locked 60fps outside of screen filling effects
• Series X drops to 40s-50s in cities and in cutscenes, while PS5 don't
• SS targets 60 but has the same problems as SX
• last gen
  • One S is bad, 15-35fps, low end in cities
    • unlocked framerate
    • 1080p
    • can go as low as 5fps when fast forwarding though cutscenes
  • One X
    • 4K, but 5-10fps better
  • PS4
    • more consistent 30, but 20-30
    • 30fps cap in place
  • PS4 Pro
    • 1080p
    • near locked 30fps
• the game is good. what the fuck is up with the performance tho
• rendering is primitive but good art direction, except for the dungeons
