Fortnite Is Stunning At 4K/60 FPS On Xbox One X, Visual Comparison Between 30 vs. 60 FPS Inside

Fortnite has received a brand new update for all platforms. This update starts Season 3 and also includes support for locked 60 FPS. This comes at the expense of Dynamic Resolution but how much is the resolution affected with this new mode?

[TABSF]

This is a dumb comparison, you cannot compare framerate with screenshots. you could be getting 1fps and it'll look the same ffs xD

[Darkwatchman]

I think it’s meant to compare how much the visuals had to be downgraded to make it jump to 60fps.

[theXtReMe1]

It was actually the opposite. While the game switches to a dynamic resolution in 60fps mode, the graphics look near the same as native 4K mode, which is amazing. It just dynamically adjusts the resolution based on the amount of workload needed to draw what’s on screen. Basically lowering resolution on the fly to try to lock 60fps, as much as they can.

Im interested to see a comparison video from Digital Foundry, to see how closely it sticks to that 60fps.

[Darkwatchman]

@theXtReMe1
Rendering resolution is a part of the game’s visuals.

[TheCommentator]

TheXtReMe1, the point of dynamic resolution is that the game's frame rate is locked to 60fps and the resolution is what changes instead, so it's the resolution changes that need to be measured. But yeah, a comparison would be nice. TBH though, I seldom notice dynamic scaling when I'm playing anyways.

[oSHINSAo]

But, have you carefully watch them? i see better shadows at 60fps,

[Tedakin]

I'm seeing the opposite...................... ....

Visuals take a hit at higher frames. Happens less on one x thanks to more power.

[Dark_Voyager]

Cant speak for other platforms but after the update PS4 Pro version looks significantly better. A now locked 60fps also makes a huge difference.

[thrust]

If you have it locked at 60fps on the PS4 Pro then you are playing at 900p-1080p

[Dark_Voyager]

“If you have it locked at 60fps on the PS4 Pro then you are playing at 900p-1080p”

Really? Looks great regardless. Especially for 60fps. I have some comparison shots but can’t link them being a new user.

[Silkside]

60fps better fucken be the standard next generation, I swear if sony and Ms push for 8k or some bullshit like that with shit fps I'm going to be pissed.

[Obscure_Observer]

@Silkside

I thought that you would say that you gonna quit console gaming. Lmao.

[Lennoxb63]

It's not gonna be the standard because frame rate doesn't sell games. Graphics do.

[darx]

Get a PC problem solved.

[zb1ftw777]

But it creates more problems that don't happen on console.

[Razzer]

Provides more choices that you don’t get on console. Not being able to customize quality and performance on consoles.....to me that is a problem. Thankfully some devs are starting to pass control to users on some things for consoles, but still not enough.

[UnHoly_One]

See Razzer I'm the exact opposite.

Give me a bunch of sliders to control graphics and I'm never happy.

Turn this one down a bit, now it runs fine, but I don't like the way looks. So I'll put that one back up and change this one instead. No, that isn't right...

And so on and so forth, into infinity.

If you can crank everything up to max, then that's fine.

But I don't like having that many choices because I can't freaking choose. lol

I can afford a PC but i don't know if i could afford all the lube from being a lonely single male the rest of my life. #PChronicmasterbayshunrace

[DJStotty]

you do know that on the one X on most if not all enhanced games you have a high framerate option dont you?

[DJStotty]

gears 4 - 60fps mode, tomb raider - 60fps mode, forza 7 - 60fps standard, DOOM -60fps standard, F1 2017 - 60fps standard.

I maybe worded my comment slightly incorrectly but most games on the one X and the Pro, will be 60fps standard or will have some kind of high frame rate mode.

Granted there will be a few that are 30fps, but this is a case of developer choice and not a reflection on the power/performance of both machines

[PurpHerbison]

Lol, 8k at 20fps. Unfortunately, people would eat that right up.

[paintedgamer1984]

Naw i think its going to be an another incremental upgrade like ps3 to ps4. The upgrades from ps1 to ps2 to ps3 are basically over. The upgrade from ps4 to ps5 will basically be improved particles, draw distance, resolution, and frame rste than the ps4. But i agree i hope sony goes for native 4k at 60 fps. But if they launch as early as fall 2019 this might be a hard norm to obtain. Thats why im hoping the ps5 comes in late 2020 but i think we all know in our hearts it will be 2019. 6/3 years really is plenty of time for tech to change since 2013 and 2016.

[Timesplitter14]

60 fps must be the new 30 fps,
and 120 fps must be the new 60 fps

[zb1ftw777]

Dynamic resolution is there to keep the framerate locked. That's the whole purpose.

Makes no sense to turn it off for the purpose of locking the framerate.

My logic nodes just blew.

[timotim]

Options are what we want in the end...good to see X getting continued support from the dev community.

[Ukgamer]

I only started playing Fortnite on a regular basis since the latest Battlepass I have played maybe 50 games before it and more than 50 since I reckon. I personally cant say I really noticed a huge difference with the frame rate being locked at 60fps well maybe not as much as I hoped for at the very least. People seem to bang on about 60fps as if its the be all and end all but as long as the frame rate is stable at 30fps at least I cant say I care.

[PurpHerbison]

As someone that plays Fortnite every other night with my buddies the difference is night and day.

[HeyNowChillax]

Load up Destiny 2, play a strike. Then fire up Titanfall 2 and do, well, anything. Might just change your opinion on 60 vs. 30.

[Cyborgg]

Looks better than PUBG and it has 60fps

[PFFT]

Shouldnt be too hard with the cartoony graphics and all. I would be surprise if it wouldnt be able to run at 60fps.

[showtimefolks]

Stop making excuses for PUBG that game sure as heck isn't pushing graphical boundaries for it to have as many bugs as it does

[BlackTar187]

On top of that pubg costs money and still fortnite runs circles around it.

[PurpHerbison]

I'm just glad an optimized battle royale game finally exists. Cartoony graphics or not.

[windblowsagain]

It's a decent game. but graphically it's a cartoon. lol.

Textures are low even when maxed on PC.

[paintedgamer1984]

Id rather have a locked resolution and fps. Id love to see what that is.

[DrunkAddict]

Xbox One X seems to hold up really well as a 4K system so far if we compare it to the PS4 Pro.

[senis_kenis]

"The Xbox One X uses a dynamic resolution with the lowest native pixel count found being approximately 1850x1040 and the highest native pixel count found being approximately 2742x1550."
How? not even close to 4k.

[Guyfamily999]

It's a shame that PS4 Pro is still capped at 1080p (even with the 30fps cap on) I'm sure it could at least approach 1440p. Hope they make use of the console. However, even at 1080p60, the game looks fantastic.

[Tedakin]

Hey PUBG people.... wtf? You can't even get to 30 on xbox one x. :D

[snoopgg]

This game is far from stunning in my opinion .

[Belinker300]

Save your money kids and get a PS5 and enjoy the Sony exclusive's til then.

[DELTABOY04]

the original x one was total trash this is a great upgrade! Unfortunately for microsoft many jumped ship and wont return to the already dying xbox brand this gen...
