Yes with 4K in perf mode being dynamic (but sticking to the upper bounds mostly)
But it doesn't change the resolution, just graphic details and shit
Can't watch the video yet but what do they mention about HDR?
IS DV HDR recommeded or is vanilla hgig HDR as good?

Tried another race in Qualiry after playing the whole afternoon in Performance. It's terrible. I don't understand anyone can play in Quality 😱
Why do they make even the menus 30fps in quality mode? They're so sluggish for no reason.
Same as every game, it feels extra bad after coming straight from 60. Force yourself to play it at 30 for 15+ minutes and it'll become tolerable again. I'd recommend anyone that has started yet to just go quality mode from the get go and if you're happy with that don't even switch.

performance has a lower bound in resolution, quality settings turned down
so the question is is it a marginal difference compared to 30 vs 60 fps?
It feels that a couple of games now have closed the visual gap between Q v P modes
Guardians of the Galaxy, for example, looks stunning in Performance mode
I haven't played Guardians from what I've read that's one of the biggest examples where people prefer quality mode because it looks so much better.
Having tried both in FH5 I've gotta say quality mode does look much more consistent and dense but obviously in motion you lose clarity.
FH5 looks better than most Open World games were you actually run around and interact with the world. Hell, it looks even better than most linear games.
It's insane what Playground did. The FH franchise is something truly special.

Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto/Nara/Nagoya. Gimme that with a beautiful countryside in between and I'd probably quit my job to visit JP fulltime :)
For sure. You hit the nail in the head with the "in motion" bit. I guess I'll just toy with both modes like anything else. I just personally dislike flipping between the two in games as I feel that it is jarring to the senses.
Anyway hope you enjoy this entry. I remember your hang-ups with 4 and hope this fares better for you.
FH5 also looks stunning in Performance. You don't notice the slighty less LOD when you are flying with 300km/h
Looks great. I'm really tempted to pick up the Premium version on Steam tomorrow. It seems to be spectacular on PC.
The LOD fade in in performance mode us very distracting, I still can't give up 60fps though. I hope they give us an option to drop res down to 1440p to fix the aggressive LOD and maintain 60fps.
Considerably, in FH4 it was a non issue that I barely ever noticed.
Guardians of the galaxy also renders the game at 1080p in performance mode. It looks way better in Quality mode. Don't know about how FH5 differs exactly, but "some games closing the visual gap between Q v P modes" just isn't a thing if we're talking about the same hardware.
LOL what? Fh4 pop in is extremely noticable on anything other than PC's extreme dynamic foilage setting.
it's always been a weakness of both FH3 and 4, and apparently now 5.
I'm finding it worse in performance mode in SX but then again I'm comparing it to playing it on PC for 4.
My guess is it would look bad next to the One X if there was a mode on the Series X that was below 4k, so they had to hit the same 4k + DRS while maintaining 60 FPS
Yeah, that's what stood out most to me in the DF video. And maybe I'm in the minority, but I pop-in really bothers me. Its just so immersion-breaking imo.
I only notice in the vids. When driving yourself for me i dont notice it all.
I don't know how when the trees and vegetation change right in front of you constantly.
Maybe because i look further. Just like my driver instructor learned me. :D
This game is already up there with RDR2 and Arma 3 having the best and most realistic landscapes in a video game. Holy s****.
