It's the 2018 model, the Q6FN ? do you know if VRR is working on it with the serie x? Free sync 1 work but VRR ?

Yes - this one. VRR works as in FreeSync. I was under the impression it's the same thing.
It's actually insane how quiet this thing is. Got up during some Fallen Order and decided to put my ear right up next to it - nothing. Dead fucking silent.
Also holy shit, Tetris Connect is amazing. What a trip!

I had a bunch of Smart Delivery/Game Pass games installed on an external hard drive that I connected to my Series X. On the Games page they have have an icon with 2 arrows on them. Do I have to move them to internal storage to get the Series X update? The games include Forza Horizon 4, Sea of Thieves, Gears 5, and more.
thank you ! Is the nu8000 49" anytbing your familiar with? Rtings claim I have VRR but no option in my tv settings for it with game mode on
I did find a solution for this issue should anyone else run into it. Surprisingly it's related to DNS. I configured my Xbox to use Google's DNS servers and backwards compatible titles started working.
My issue with moving it upright is that it would have to be hidden and I have a mixamp connected to the console (not sure why anymore since the mix amp doesn't work as well anymore). I'm trying to tilt it so the vent is facing outside and not directly at the shelf. Maybe this might help it somewhat?
Hmm my RU7470 immediately picked it up as an Xbox and assigned the logo.
So I think something may be up with downloading games and patches while in sleep mode. Last night, I set up the last few remaining things to download on my Series X, went to bed, and after returning from my bike ride this morning and turned it back on, it appears that no progress was made. If any was, it was very little.
I made sure that the "turn off storage when console is off" is unchecked, too. No idea why this would be when I never had a problem on my Xbox One X.
Weird.

so 120HZ may be locked to HDMI2 or whatever? Because my TV doesn't support that :/.
MHW used to run almost unlocked where it would fluctuate. The hub runs at 60fps but hunts are down to 30fps. I have it prioritize resolution, should I switch to frame rate? I'm not sure if then it won't be in HDR or not
Playing No Mans Sky on the Series X is like a whole new game, if you have never tried it on PC. Incredibly smooth frames, higher density ground clutter. I did notice more pop in than usual, but I think it was because it was a fresh install.
So pleased to see VRR being used properly already.
What's the VRR range of the C9?
Nice to see that you can run Forza Horizon 4 from an external HDD even with the Series X update. It's a big game now (with the expansions) so it's a good alternative if you're running low on SSD space.
I just ordered the Expansion Card 👀
Edit: (potentially) cancel that! Turns out it's on my internal. Didn't realise, must've either moved there itself when it updated or I moved it and forgot.

Anybody transfer Yakuza and Watch Dogs from X1X to XSX? Did it redownload the full game or just the XSX updates/patch?
Hmmm I've read that hunts are 60fps in resolution mode also. Perhaps try a different hdmi cord, if you aren't using the one that was included? Sometimes something as minor as that can change it. Also try a different HMDI port.
Well that's weird, I thought they clearly said that games enhanced for X/S must be run from the internal drive or expansion.
I did. I can't remember how big the Watch Dogs update was (it was a big one!) but I'm updating Yakuza now (transferred from a One X install) and the update is just 4.6gb
Turns out some patched games are fine. Ori and FH4 both work from the external drive at least. Haven't tried any others.
As long as the air has somewhere to go, you shouldn't need a lot of clearance above it. It's only a problem if the air can't escape, such as in a closed entertainment centre.
is there a good way to 'soak test' your setup? I have mine in a cupboard - I have hopefully ventilated it well enough but I want to check. I tried putting gears 5 on yesterday while I watched Bake off, but when I came back the controller had disconnected and it had paused - so probably not a good test.
Just need something that'll generate some 'normal' heat/load, and a way to stop it going to sleep. I like Ori but don't know if thats likely to push the console

That's fantastic news, is this the norm for "updated" games? It would make the Series S a lot more viable. It's great Microsoft updating older titles but, I really wouldn't want all of the internal space taken up with updated Xbox One titles.
Edit: well, I'm (potentially) wrong. Looks like I transferred it last night and forgot? It's on my internal after all.
Jury's still out then!
I just tested it again and I used frame rate mode and it's at 60 but still in HDR.
I moved the vent facing the outside so it can get air and it doesn't make noise anymore but it still feels warm to the touch. I'm not sure how it's supposed to feel but it feels as warm as my One X while it's on, and now it doesn't make that noise but it's still louder than my One X. Not sure if it's a faulty system or not :/
The console is great so far for me other than having to keep my Xbox on to actually install games. It doesn't even make any sense how this is happening.... I shut it down last night and nothing got installed. If we're going to have 800gb of storage, this better get fixed quickly because I don't want to keep my Xbox on every time I want to install and delete games. Doesn't help my internet doesn't really download them quickly enough.
If you are getting slow downloads reboot your system. I was getting 25Mbps until I rebooted, now I am getting 400 -500 Mbps.
Xbox took down QR earlier to fix some issues, so I don't think all stuff is working.
While installing Tetris effect and Gears 5 it actually told me i need to instal to the internal SSD. Ill try and see of it promts the same for Ori.
In theory I think so, I don't know at what point the GPU
20-120hz I think
Xbox has never warned you about closing a game. That screen doesn't exist.
Okay so FH 4 prompts me to install on the SSD, but Ori allows external HD installation. Is it not also enhanced for XSX?
Checked my disk drive with Borderlands 3 which I believe I bought for $8 on sale a couple of weeks ago. Disk drive seems fine so I'm pretty sure hardware wise, everything is good with my unit now.
My remote play is working this morning. Good because my 3yr olds daycare had a teacher with a positive case of COVID so he is home with me the rest of the week. My work deadline day was yesterday so I was hoping to play a little in between task.
You have a game open? Close it!
Not if you are in an online session.
