Happy New Year! NEW 2024 DF Cybrerpunk 2077 Xbox Series x vs PS5 BENCHMARK

How has the hype from the 12Tflops monster and Magic SSD panned of in both system's 3rd year on the market in Digital Foundry's latest Benchmark...

• This is a PC benchmark ported to run on both PS5 and Xbox Series X
• In Performance mode target resolution is 1800p on both PS5 & XSX
• Lowest resolution bound found 1152p on XSX & is 1008p on PS5...144p difference
• VRS is used as a performance saving measure on XSX that isn't used on PS5
• RT Quality Modes locked to 30fps however Xbox Series X still drops frames as PS5 is locked @ 30fps.
• Rich speculates it's down to the GPU (nonsense) as they've always touted XSX GPU advantage
• Tested PS5 & XSX vs PC with XSX CPU (higher than PS5) & RX 6700 10GIG down clocked 2.23GHz
• They hypothetical test still found PS5 to be superior between all machines tested

lol I still remember when Digital Foundry tried to claim PS5 was equal to a 2060 super!

They've moved the goal post so many times since then, they should stick to analysis and stop trying to tell ppl what these machines can do. Their understanding on the internal workings between the systems is clearly limited "It's da GPU!" lol

There are a lot of smart know it alls in this community who try to tell others what system will do what based on their limited PC understanding and claim "DUH...well that one has a stronger GPU so dat means it's da better system!" If you feel identified in any way my statement then it was 100% aimed at you.

Remember Microsoft had the marketing rights for CP2077 before the game ever launched before excuses of favoritism for Sony from the developer come, the same way PS5 destroyed Xbox in performance and RT in Ghostwire Tokyo from a MS OWNED studio with 1yr extra time.

It's funny coming back to this place and seeing how things turned between these systems after so many of you fools hyped up the Series X.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Love how everyone is talking about Cyberpunk again. What a killer game.

One day I plan to check this game out. Maybe. 😅

Here for shits n giggles but Cyberpunk was just a trash experience from the 2 times I tried to play it. I just don't know how the DLC could save this pile

Digital Foundry love Cyberpunk because it's a way to hype the PC so they will keep coming back to it in efforts to coddle Alex Battaglia's ballls

The Xbox Series X is running at higher Resolution and has more NPCs than the PS5 version. It's down to optimization that the Xbox doesn't get the main attention!

PS5 crushes Xbox...awwww yeah

Indeed and it's glorious to see.

Oh my 100P resolution difference! So THAT is the reason Xbox Sereis X is getting DESTROYED by PS5 by 10+ FPS in the same scenes of this game running high frames and RT? REALLY???

Never mind the fact that Xbox Series X is utilizing one of those BUZZ WORD features that xbox fans were hyping to improve performance for XSX called VRS!

:) And you fools wondered why Sony cut that shit from their pipeline, FULL RDNA2.0! LMFAO

And if 100p resolution .difference is your excuse why Series X is getting annihilated by in a XBOX MARKETED GAME then.. tell me what happened with XBOX own Studio for Ghostwore Tokyo?

^ PS5 actually had the HIGHER resolution in this Xbox Studio game and yet...

Yet PS5 still annihilates Xbox Series X by over 10fps....Oh and ALSO had higher level RT on top of running higher frames.

So much for the "bu but the 100p resolution difference?" huh?

Oh wow, consoles are trash.

:)

mark cerney how did he say it all tides lift boats. clocking the gpu higher / io through put is crushing it on the ps5.

OP is back to straw grabbing again.🤭 Was missing in action with Alan Wake 2.😂

Playing the game without path tracing smh

And good ol Digital Foundry after embarrassingly hyping up the Sereis X for it's 12Tflps GPU advantage over PS5...comes to the genius conclusion it's the GPU of all things why PS5 is destroying XSX in yet another head to head comparison. You can't make this ish up.

DF will never live down trying to downplay and dismiss EVERYTHING Mark Cerny said about the advantages PS5 had before the launch of these systems. This is why you NEVER see DF give credit to PS5 custom hardware for why it outperforms XSX or equivalent hardware and they instead dumb everything down to GPU or CPU

🤭 You are not qualified to talk about hardware or software.

I'm just back for the new year.

Alan wake 2 was a long awaited GLORIOUS win for the Series X after not having a major win over the PS5 since what, A Plague Tale?

It's not that Xbox Series X can't beat the PS5, I never claimed that. But PS5 is the superior system as a console with all components running as a unit and will produce better results the majority of times.

Yes Series X beat PS5 in Alan Wake 2, then, RIGHT after that PS5 beat Xbox Series X in Pandora (the game that actually won Digital Foundry's graphics GOTY) so lol yea congratulations.

PS5 beats Series X so often you guys need to grab and grasp and hold on to any meager victory you can can salvage.

But I do love the deflection from you as one of the major contributors to hyping up the Xbox Series X with buzz words and nonsense that panned out to fk all in the end.

lol make sure to hold on to it bro!

You guys held on to those Hitman 3 and Control (photo mode) wins for so long I was really rooting for you guys to get something new to use. Thank god something new came along.

4800s is trash, even a R5 3600 handily beats it (a budget CPU), add in a down clocked 6700 (non XT), yikes. I figured the consoles would have something better than that.

That PC is trash too. The 4800S is just a Series X chipset with the iGPU disabled. No PC gamer is using that. All Ryzen 3000, 5000 and 7000 CPUs beat it in gaming benchmarks. And the RX 6700? Meh

Devs still lazy or still haven't learned to use the tools on the much more powerful Xbox,shame,maybe in 2 gens time we might see PS and XB get above 30fps

It is very simple. PS5 has priority.

Alex "massive balls" battaglia is covering TAA in a video this month so he can daggle his ginormous balls in front of your screen as much as he wants for all I care.

@above_average: This is why DF sucks now.

A few extra frames equals a "win" when the resolution drops that low?

Give me a break.

Oh, and Mr Sony Pony? The XSX is still more powerful than PS5. Deal with it.

@above_average: it's been a while since below average posted. You forget that these benchmarks are all but useless based on one simple fact. That fact is money, moola, $$$.

Which system has the largest install base, which system makes the developers the most money, which one gets the largest amount of optimization. You can put 2 and 2 together right??

It doesn't matter how much the Xbox 12 tflop and pc clubbers the weak arse ps5, if the developers dedicate 90% of their time optimizing rhe shit out of the weak arse ps5 and making the other consoles an after thought.

Doesn't matter though, ps5 is still trash and all that optimization doesn't change that fact.

I mean they gave Alan Wake 2 a higher rating for their year end gfx awards than CP, which is also substantially a better showcase on PC than consoles. Same for Avatar. PC is gfx king at the moment via multiple titles.

@Pedro: lol I knew you would comment but it clear it's working for the ps5 just saying.

This is cute for the consoles I guess. Both versions seem fine

Being surprised by me commenting in a thread is like being surprised by the rising of the sun.
