Digital Foundry- Halo Infinite PC Tech Review: Xbox Series X vs PC + Best Settings + Performance Analysis
- Thread starter Biosnake
- Start date
Finally. Performance has been really rough on my 3070, I've been dying for a settings guide from DF
optimized settings
Have not watched the video, but Series X is awfully close to the recommended PC version settings. I'm nervous.
Edit: After watching the vid, I figured that the settings differences wouldn't be as dramatic. It's a shame that the difference is so small and Raytracing is missing. Those dips when doing nothing is a little interesting.
Also, I wonder if he ecountered the 0 frames bug that's seen when John gave his analysis of the Series version. I feel he would have highlighted it.

I feel like if a game doesn't run perfectly on some people's PCs its automatically a bad port in their eyes
A lot of people consider a demanding game with average graphics = bad port. I just consider it unoptimized but a fairly good port, didn't run into bugs or crashes in my 10 hours or so playing it which is kinda of a miracle these days, especially with big online games at launch.
And when we say average graphics what we really mean its that there are a handful of games with better graphics right?
- No DLSS
- No RT
- Pretty much no visual advantage over XSX
- Better GPU than XSX required to achieve the same combination of visual quality and performance
- Bugged internal frame limiter
- No VRS
- Dynamic res only working properly with the internal frame limiter and V-sync
- Stuttering
Series X is clearly the main platform they targeted at for it.
It seems very optimized there, especially in Quality Mode (Dynamic 4K/60).
Yikes, watching now but this list is a bad look.
Was never expecting dlss though.
You shouldnt have expected rt since they said it was going to be there at launch.
Not saying this is good but this is not "one of the worst PC ports" out there
Or because it struggles to give good performance with even the highest ends of GPUs? Lol.
The DLSS is insane in Guardians, I get 100+ fps with better fine details than native!
More like, because it looks pretty average without doing any sort of crazy simulation and still is extremely demanding and has several issues that were present in several month old betas, and not fixed.
One thing I wouldn't recommend is playing the game with unlocked framerate because even if you use an external limiter it'll cause high CPU usage .
I have a 5800X and it was going at 99% usage but when I put a framerate limit in-game slightly higher than the one I use with the nvidia tool it went to a more reasonable 30 - 40 % usage.
It might have been fixed but I doubt so.

I mentioned this in another thread, but this backsliding of port quality from Microsoft in the last few months has been disappointing after several years of great PC ports. I really hope MS will help their studios get these games back up to par. It's kind of weird that Sony might start having better ports than MS now with God of War and Uncharted coming up.
Or because you need a notably more powerful GPU than a Series X to get equivalent performance despite not being noticeably better looking. Not to mention the bugs.

The last four there I hope get fixed in a patch for sure.
But ports have come a long way if "consoles use high and ultra settings now" and "doesn't use vendor-locked features" is what constitutes as some of the first things we list as bad.

No you don't. He's achieving Xbox performance and slightly BETTER graphics settings with a 2070 super, which is essentially an Xbox Series X. And if this game used ray tracing and/or DLSS then that GPU would certainly surpass the series X.
I can't watch the video now but are the performance different from MP? I have a 6700xt and Performance is the same between low and never hitting 144fps while 3600x is underutilized
Clearly série x for me. Even if my gpu is better on my pc, m'y ryzen 1600 is going to bé a bottleneck. ( 3070ti)
And with the usual bug at launch on pc ..no question for me.
If the game is really good, i will do a second play if one day they implement ray tracing and dlss.

This is not impressive at all. Ever seen an open world game before?
really cool gameplay moment, but how is this anything new to open world games?
you can fly a jet in gta 5 on the ps3.
What's considered good performance? My 3070 has been consistently 60fps+, probably higher.
Ha! No worries. Getting optimized settings on my potato RX 480 is a pipedream anyways.
Also, this is as always, fantastic work. So very much appreciated.
