DF Weekly: If Xbox Series X is more powerful, why do some PS5 games run better?
On paper, the Xbox Series X is a considerably more powerful piece of hardware than PlayStation 5, so why are we looking…
So, based on our conversations, the combination of a more efficient GPU compiler, lower-level APIs and higher clock speeds allows PlayStation 5 to match or even exceed the outputs of Xbox Series X in some scenarios. For example, while Elden Ring may run faster on PlayStation 5, Sony's limited implementation of variable refresh rate support means that we'd much rather play the game on Xbox Series X - it's just a smoother and more consistent experience. This discussion is just one small part of DF Direct Weekly #169, where we have first impressions on the new Dragon's Dogma 2 patch and AMD's FSR 3.1 spatial upscaling revision (expect more in-depth coverage on both soon), plus comments on the new Dead Rising remake.
