The Xbox Series X UI runs At 1080p

Well now we have dudes in the thread claiming the UI is blurry now, thats new.
I'm an enthusiast and I don't a crap if the UI is 1080p or 4k, as an enthusiast I care about how the games look and run. The dashboard has nothing to say about the power of the console.
I'm now terrified about what this means for gaming as an art form. What if the 1080p UI on the XSX holds back the generation?
This. It's a circus of disingenuous takes.
It's not a waste... if you really think a properly designed OS system can't allocate like 500MB - 1GB when switching from a game to the UI and reallocate that back to the game when going back to the game then I have a bridge to sell to you.
for a UI that's made up almost entirely of big solid blocks I bet most people wouldn't even notice

come on we have been around a long time to know this is inevitable.
i wont be exclusive to this thread or the ones to come
Upscaling a mostly static UI is much easier than upscaling gameplay at high framerates. One doesn't really say much about the other. I find the 1080p interface on Xbox One X completely fine to use. But I can still tell that the PS4 Pro UI looks clearly sharper. But then I notice the downgrade in text clarity when it switches to YUV 4:2:0 when playing games in HDR.
It's not a big deal to me, but 4K system menus are nicer.
Oh wow, did not see this one coming. I was 100% sure that XSX will render UI at native 4K without any questions. I mean... for me it's not crucial to have dashboard rendered in 4K but still... this is a weird limitation.
This is such a nothing burger. 4k UI vs more RAM for games. I bet a lot of the people complaining chose 60fps over resolution in other threads on here
Give it a few weeks. Once games are in peoples hands and we can compare something like Dirt 5 or Assassin's Creed Valhalla running on both, people are going to be going crazy with regards to rendering resolutions and load times, etc.
Tbf, there is more comments disparaging FUD than actual FUD.
Well, the Switch's UI is 720p and it looks dreadful on a 4K TV. So careful what you wish for... 😛
That is... bizarre.
Then again I assumed the One X UI was 4K all this time, so it can't matter that much

It's literally just the Xbox One (X) OS.
And that scares me a lot when it comes to certain apps like the Blu Ray app not having any changes for the brand new system...

the Switch's UI is noticeable blurry being 720p but maybe XBOX Series X using 1080p will not be blurry or at least not as noticeable, we will know soon anyways.
Awesome, I'm happy this has zero effect on your enjoyment of the machine or software experience.
The whole point is they have did not notice, until it was pointed out.
I mean PC users do everything they can to debloat the OS overhead so in a way, it is really important in showing where smart cuts can be made.
Is this why so many people were making noise about how the PS5 UI will look? Is that something some of y'all spend a significant amount of time playing with?
Yeah, this really isn't a big deal. The more resources that can go to game performance, the better. How long do you sit just blankly staring at the UI? Plus, it's not like 1080p looks bad on a 4K display, unless you're sitting an inch from the screen.
A good compromise would be the UI running at 4K when no games are loaded up, 1080p while games were open.

I didnt care about this fact before this was pointed out, but now I know I can't help but feel cheated.
I demand my ignorance back.

How would anyone that doesn't have the console yet notice? I noticed it the day I plugged my X1X so I will notice it the day I plug my XSX.
I find it more amusing how few realised their current UI wasn't 4K. In any case this is certainly strange, especially for a next-gen system, and when you'll be spending a tonne of time in the UI, but I suppose the extra ram for games is more important.
These systems should probably start shipping with a small amount of DDR ram or something to compensate for this issue though.

You don't?
More memory for games. But hey.... Reasons to get angry make people feels good.
I feel like people spend way more time arguing about games than playing them lol.
Yeah I'm curious to know if Sony did the same thing like that did for the PS4 pro.
