Digital Foundry | Devil May Cry 5 SE: PS5 vs Xbox Series X - The First Next-Gen Performance Face-Off
- Thread starter Uzupedro

Oh absolutely. And perhaps this will also lead to new hires, as I cannot imagine the additional workload with all these platforms (Series S I'm looking at you), especially during this cross-gen period.
what the hell is going on with this game, on both platforms. i know xbox has a day 1 patch for raytracing but hopefully they resolve some of these issues in both versions.
Also, unless i misheard at the end, they mentioned on the PS5 it always forces a 120hz output??? So when connected to a non HDMI 2.1 TV, Youre stuck with downsampled 1080P event in quality mode, rather than 4K60???????
But even in a year or two, the on paper difference is only like 20%, right? Why would anyone expect more?
Uh wow.
Yeah it is dropping hard on Xbox Series X during gameplay but that can be chalked up to bad port I would think.

Tbh this a very barebones port tech-wise, I don't know much about the content, but this is not worth the money at launch.
I don't know if it'll be the most interesting game to compare given how insanely close the two are, but it's a perfect comparison case:
Uncapped framerate on both and exact same native 4K mode.
Weird results though, almost no difference at all in framerate between the two overall, with Xbox having a slight advantage in high res mode, and PS5 having a slight to moderate advantage in framerate mode.

yes that's what someone else mentioned but I'm not sure precisely what's happening with it. better be fixed day 1 or I'm returning my preorder
on my brand new 900H i'm gonna be stuck on the sub-par performance mode unless I switch out my HDMI port...? is that really what's happening here
Kinda wished we saw more gameplay in RT quality mode. Xbox seemed to be in the 50s while PS5 was in the 40s. Coupled with VRR RT quality mode may very well be feasible on Xbox unless it drops further.
Edit: Rewatching the footage a couple of times I see that the performance differential is mostly down to difference in the gameplay scenes and they are pretty close. Would still love to know if the RT quality mode on Xbox is a good experience with VRR on.

Weird that at 120fps the game runs way better at times on PS5 compared do Series X, this whole game seems bugged to death.
Like in this scene:

Are you talking about this port or in general because this port actually seems to actually favour PS5 in terms of gameplay performance in some cases at least
I get the tiniest feeling, that something is not right with the XSX version...
Uh wow.
The XSX's weird performance in high framerate mode definitely seems like something that could be patched out, and decidedly not a hardware issue. But it's nice to see that the machines appear to be broadly equivalent hardware-wise. Should be a competitive gen.
I view a few comparisons at the start of a gen for the laughs, but i was actually surprised by the framerate difference.
Game runs (slightly) better on XSX when the resolution is locked to either 4K or 1080p. But suffers greatly when it uses image reconstruction or dynamic resolution (whichever it may be). I assume this just isn't working properly on XSX and it's just a software issue.Weird that at 120fps the game runs way better at times on PS5 compared do Series X, this whole game seems bugged to death.

Found it quite amusing that the weaker PS5 and the slower Xbox are punching above their weight in regards to their performance and loading times respectively. Still early days, but it looks like both machines are quite comparable in all aspects, which may be disappointing to some lol.
One thing I'm gonna take away though is that Capcom did not do a great job with this port

Looks like a shit show in both, but SX not pulling more ahead is weird (though Capcom when announced the RT patch delay did implied they were struggling with the devkits).
I hope they patch this to clean up performance because right now it's not worth at all

"In the meantime, the results seen here in the cross-platform comparison are fascinating. In terms of correlating on-paper specs to the actual experience on-screen, PlayStation 5 is either punching above its weight, or Xbox Series X isn't delivering on the full potential promised by a bigger silicon investment and a much more substantial memory interface."
Sorry it's neither that or that, DF, but that both consoles are so damn close that not many did not expect them to behave very similarly and not just liek that but each has scenarios where it exceeds the other and vice versa. You will see more of this with other games in the future. There is no way you comapre the consoles you compared PS4/XB1 and PS4 Pro/XB1X. The eprcentage gap is insignifcant now in real scenarios.

Honestly a blessing that both seem almost 1:1, tired of console wars and the now recent second wars
What will the console warriors do if both machines end up performing that similar in all titles and there just isn't an appriciateable difference 😂?
It's pretty much the same performance across the board (besides the 120fps mode). I think later 3rd-party games that're better optimized will be the same.
Yeah, I read it that if it detects a 120hz output, it run at a downscaled resolution. So basically, you cannot have 4k60, it will always be somethingK-upto120, depending on your TV.
So interesting. PS5 looks like it's punching above it's weight, XSX looks like it's just brute forcing it's way through especially with the quality modes. What I found really interesting how the 120fps was faster on the PS5. Anyone can explain that one? Even DF were stumped.
Looks like we're in for a really exciting generation!

Or maybe the system bottlenecks eliminated in PS5 that Mark Cerny talked about are coming to fruition?. Why does something have to be wrong with one version just because they perform similar.
That is quite the statement. How about you wait to say such a statement with such finality until there is more than one data point.
Consider a game like Gears 5 which has similar performance on XSX to an RTX 2080 (a bit below). The XSX in that screenshot there is tanking way below that expected GPU performance. IMO - something is not right with this game or the software layer between the game and hardware if such a drop like that occurs.
All those touting power are going to be in for a surprise when these consoles are going to be virtually identical. And that is a good thing. More people having a good experience across the board. The only people who should be upset is fanboys.
You would think by now they would..
Most likely, as stated by Rich and John in the article (and Dictator just above), but it seems a picture paints a thousand words :/
Bring up concern about Gamepass, Wifi6, , Controller vibration and count the milliseconds difference in loading
