I can't find the bloody chart that showed this now to link to you. Just for 100% clarity - I don't want to mislead anyone if I misinterpreted it, but I'm almost certain.
I'll edit my post just in case.

Digital Foundry: Xbox Series X Backwards Compatibility Tested - And The Performance Is Extreme

I'll edit my post just in case.
For the Pro, its not just the gpu that gets boosted, the cpu does too.
If whatever boost mode the PS5 does, it will be the same.
The other modes are for plain, vanilla BC. Cerny mentioned some of this in the Road to PS5...that's where the 100 games tested madness keeps coming from. Running PS4 games in a boosted mode.
Those asking about down clocking, in the video about 4:10 there is a note the MS confirmed no down clocking, but its not using RDNA 2 arch improvements in BC.
I'll say it for him.
This is genuine nuts! Holy shit. MS you crazy wizards.
I can't watch this at the moment but did DF take a look at the original Evil Within? Resolution is likely the same since it predates the One X, but I'm interested in Framerate performance on that one.
They should've tested Just Cause 3, and Prey for the loading times. Great video, and awesome results.
Well, they are working on BC now, some BC games on Xbox One received updates after launch.
Yes, but there are also benefits. The Pro and 5 are both the weaker of the two systems, so perhaps it'll scale better. Pro also had an additional year of support, so some games will be better on the PS5 while they're stuck with OG Xbox One limitations on Series X. It's a mixed bag, really.
I just hope Sony's BC really delivers. I want to know if I can get rid of my Pro. I feel it's a safe bet, but I don't want to leap just yet.
OP

I don't know why but I think the roles gonna get reversed this gen with Xbox being on top ( at least in the us) with their backwards compatibility and game pass.
So first of all PS4 games usually run at a lower resolution comparing Pro to X but higher on base PS4 than X1. The "interesting" games though happened after Pro launch as they have drs and unlocked fps. Sadly the Pro upgrades won't be as pronounced as the X versions as the res limit was often not as high as on the X.
For fps upgrades I think this is almost even, fps might run locked if it didn't before but to which extend we will have to see.
When it comes to CBR this is rather interesting. I think many games used CBR without the special hardware but for the games that do? Perhaps it's still somewhere in the system and they didn't tell us yet.
Oh man,
those improvements in Dead or Alive 6 (which I was really excited to see), Monster Hunter World, Hitman, Sekiro, and no Man's Sky are awesome.
These games show why developers should give us options for max resolution with unlocked framerates.

Some people want to replay a game they enjoyed, some games are even better upon replays. Hell, people replayed TLoU Part II after finishing it. People replay recent games for several reasons. For some it might be a huge reason to get a console, especially during the initial period. I don't see where the issue is. The general market won't care as much, but if some people here want to get a Series X first because of its (apparently so far) better BC solution, then that's great for them.
umm ?
Xbox Series X: The Most Powerful and Compatible Next-Gen Console with Thousands of Games at Launch - Xbox Wire
[Update 9/14/20: We’re happy to share that backward compatible titles will be coming to Xbox Series S as well as Xbox Series X. To deliver the highest quality backwards compatible experience consistent with the developer’s original intent, the Xbox Series S runs the Xbox One S version of...news.xbox.com
Lol
am I missing something ?
Oh yes. Paris is almost perfectly 4K/60 FPS. Whittleton Creek in H2 still hits the hardest (lol) but even that sticks to the mid-high 50s.
Honestly, DLI will be nice but it's probably not something that's going to be a particularly big deal. I don't think anyone was really complaining about controller latency on current Xbox One controllers.
And regardless, current gen controllers will be receiving an update that enables DLI as well.
Still, every little bit helps!
Your wife is in for a treat. Viva Pinata is in Game Pass and is enhanced to 4K on X1X/Series X.
Just interesting that for some pleople it totally impressive and for other it is not impressive at all
Xbox One didn't start doing better until BC for 360 games was introduced. Fans respected that move and jumped back. That's what I did.
I bought the Xbox One in Nov. 2015 and I had an instant digital catalog thanks to BC. It was nice.
The problem with the FF XV example is that it's the lite mode right?
I think Square would need to patch the high mode to unlock its framrate in this case. I wish they would just do that.

IMO, one thing that was an absolute blessing in disguise for MS and the power of the XBO....they had to rely on dynamic resolution early on. Where Sony was on locked resolution.
That is going to do wonders for XBO games on Series X.
I use external SSD on xbone X and I had the same q.
Here's some good news for you:
The small gains in boost mode come from the fact that ps4 pro was still using a jaguar cpu. PS4 in boost mode runs the CPU and GPU at full clock speed. It's the same reason Xbox one x only had small boost for games that didn't have X support.
Back when I was more of a hardcore PC gamer 2 decades ago, one of the first things I did when I upgraded my PC was play a bunch of old games at highest settings. The entire reason I even consider paying for Remasters again these days is the extra frames. I know "old games" isn't for everyone but all this is super exciting to me. Cannot wait to play Sekiro again!
You remember correctly.
I want people to see what happens if you put in a disc while you are offline. For RE3 and for AC Unity, specifically.
Please tell me VRR/FreeSync will be forced system wide on XSX. If it's the same like it was on previous consoles, where each developer had to enable it manually then it's going to be another disappointment with VRR on consoles.
Phenomenal video. Xbox has nailed the ecosystem aspect of their brand and putting the console in to people's hands 5-6 weeks before release and letting them make content for it really shows their confidence and it's easy to see why.
Never mind, my point is MS did not know what BC was (on consoles) when Sony was embracing it quite naturally. Hardware of PS2 and PS3 was a tragic mistake in the long run preventing BC to be on PS4 (for PS3) and on later PS3 models (for PS2). PS3 , original launch unit, had PS1 and PS2 compatibility built in (literally, there were PS2 chips on PS3 mainboard).
Being so far behind in BC MS invested a lot into what it is now- absolutely leading solution, but the point is it was not there from the beginning, and I dare to say, it is here b/c that was the cheapest way for such a software giant MS is, to build some competitive edge over Sony
Sounds like the Save state data (which almost entirely comprises of data present in the RAM at the time of the game being to execute Quick Resume feature) will still be written on to the internal (or external bespoke) Seagate SSD module, as opposed to all typical loading and streaming being done from the customer determinant external HDD/SSD.
Thank you for this.
Damn it! You just made my new TV decision harder.
So you're telling me MHW is one of your favorite games yet you couldn't tell from that picture that it was MHW?? Lol
Even if you don't have backlog, just use Gamepass and buy whatever game you are interested in.
I have a massive PS3 + a decent PS4 catalog, and I really don't see why I shouldn't go for the Xbox Series S/X. My PS3 catalog is as stuck in there as it would if I don't buy a PS5.
Because i haven't yet played/finished the games in my collection
Yeah and those BC efforts are paying off for users and for Xbox, it's a great feature to have and a big reason I'll be getting a Series X next year.
I might be most excited about a 100% smooth GTA4 😂
I'm not going to lie but I found this the most impressive. A genuine locked 60fps in GTA4 isn't exactly easy to achieve.
Not everyone has played all Xbox One/360/OX games. And we will see more Xbox One games in 2021.
