Support NeoGAF

> uninstall Apex Legends

> reinstall Titanfall 2

This is huge, hope they keep going after third party games and I hope they come thick and fast. I've said it before but if they get the Dark Souls trilogy running at 120fps...

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Okay, the stalling has gone on long enough. It's time to pull out the big boy. Because I have this habit where I like to clean and re-organize everything before setting up new electronics, I never did setup this bad boy I got before launch. Today is the day... Goodbye last TCL in the house.

 

[WoodyStare]

Honestly kinda shocked by how many 120fps games the Xbox Series S has so far. Shame Battlefront 2 doesn't support it.

 

[akaFullmetal]

Oh that's nice !

 

[yamaci17]

if sx runs these games at 1080p, series s would have to get to 540p which is undesirable
fps boost is cool but developer patches are more effective. imagine; overwatch, warzone and such easily runs 900p-1080p 120 fps with this console

if ea were to make a 120 fps patch, series s would easily run battlefront 2 900p-1080p 120 fps. instead we get the same result on series x..

 

[twilo99]

Yeah basically they are trick the virtual machine to run at double the speed. (easy principe), every game on Xbox is it's own virtual machine.

So does it but extra strain on the GPU or not?

 

[M1chl]

Oh absolutely : )

 

[RoboCain]

"Who cares about old games?" incoming.

 

[Sony]

The main takeaway for me here is that Forstbite is scalable to 120 FPS, at least on the series consoles. I hope this means Battlefield 2021 will have a 120 fps mode!

Where did you got 540p info from?

Fps boost works in weird ways. We get same resolution, fps graphics settings etc in Fallout 4 between both consoles. It's 1080p 60hz.

If you check the list, you'll see that some of the games have fps boost disabled by default, this is because it lowers the resolution; what that resolution is we don't know however.

"Who cares about old games?" incoming.

I'm not sure Jim Ryan has an account here, at least not openly.

 

[nikolino840]

First time I saw a game at 120+fps

Going back to 60fps

Going back to 30fps

I have heard a case of a guy that playing sea of thieves at 60 with series x gived him motion sickness..ever happened to someone?

 

[M1chl]

Yes but it's due to the waves in game...

 

[twilo99]

Oh absolutely : )

It would make sense right..

But has it been actually tested? I haven't seen anything

My man! Welcome to the club!

 

[THE DUCK]

My man! Welcome to the club!

I'm ready for another OLED, please send me one now. Thanks!

 

[TrackZ]

Dear Microsoft, please return your efforts to resolution boosts please. I don't care about 120 fps if it's at 720-900P. 1440P-4K @ 60 is more important for older titles

I agree. I'd happily take resolution bumps and overall quality settings bumps over going from 60 to 120 Hz.

 

[twilo99]

60fps hurts my eyes.

 

[Fess]

It does support 120hz at 1080p,

Oh my gawddd!! I've had the XE9305 for like 4 years and never realized I could run it in 120hz! Just played Unravel 2 and Ori and the Will of the Wisps at 120fps!

How are they doing this?! Both games are smoooooth as butter, it's like they don't skip a frame, I've barely even seen games this stable at such a high framerate on PC. Super impressive! It's just a bummer that my AVR can't do 120hz so I need to bypass it and use arc.

 

[Sneakysnake]

PS5 getting this too?

 

[skneogaf]

Very impressive!

I have an 120hz lg oled without anything that is hdmi 2.1

 

[ManaByte]

FPS Boost is a Microsoft thing.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

My man! Welcome to the club!

 

[YCoCg]

Now all they need to do is target Rockstar Games, imagine RDR1/RDR2/GTAV all running in 60fps and possibly games like Bully, Midnight Club LA, etc, running at 120fps.

 

[Andodalf]

FPS Boost is a Microsoft thing.

It would be tough to implement with how PS4/5 operate even if they wanted to. MS can inject code with it's level of virtualization which just isn't there on PS.

 

[reksveks]

PS5 getting this too?

As others had said, FPS boost is a Microsoft thing. For PS5, it would require dev work.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Yooo, BF4 at 120fps?

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Damn, too bad PS5 don't have this. Fuck. I'd download bf4 in an instant.

Ohh well.

 

[Allandor]

More 120Hz patches ... well ... now Sony, patch the damn X900h to not show a blurry mess in 120Hz mode.
But I really hope that more 60fps patches are incoming.

They made it a bit better, but it will never be a true 4k 120. The chipset just can't handle that much data. It's a chipset limitation not a firmware one.

 

[Arun1910]

That's nice.

Titanfall2 in 120fps must be

It is. Used to play this on PC a while back and the Titanfall movement system at 120fps is like butter.

Games Featuring FPS Boost

FPS Boost is a feature employing a variety of new methods for nearly doubling the original framerate on select titles.

majornelson.com

Titanfall 2 and Battlefront II at 120fps!

While this is awesome news. Reading this ... kinda sad for console gamers lol

 

[Leyasu]

I was hoping ME andromeda would be on the list. Oh well.

Prey was great at 60hz

 

[ManaByte]

They made it a bit better, but it will never be a true 4k 120. The chipset just can't handle that much data. It's a chipset limitation not a firmware one.

Which is why I waited for the 2021 model with the new processor.

 

[Nevaeh]

some games have low resolution when activating the fps mode

do this trick to bypass it

 

[ManaByte]

Played another full match of Battlefront II, this time on Takodana. My god.

 

[DenchDeckard]

The Microsoft reaping all those rewards for investing in BC. This shit is amazing.

 

[01011001]

I am very interested in FPS tests by Digital Foundry using this trick on BF5 for example, as that game has a dynamic res, which usually should help with the framerate.

I still think Microsoft should implement a third option for games like this. give an FPS Boost On/Off option and then the options "Prioritize Graphics" and "Prioritize Framerate"
because especially in 120FPS games, if that game drops down to 100fps that's literally nothing, especially with VRR you will not even notice it and it is still a gigantic improvement over 60fps.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

We shouldn't have to do this.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Free performance is always nice. Some All of those games are better at 120fps. Playing through Titanfall 2 a few years ago at 120fps felt like pure gaming butter. My buddy house sit for me while the wife and I were in the hospital for our baby and he played Battlefront 2 on my set-up and he said it's really hard to go back after seeing how smooth everything can be. Enjoy it people!

 

[Krizalidx11]

Titanfall2 smokes everything else on that list

 

[Stephen Curry]

I want a res increase for Battlefield 4!

It needs it. Tried to play it on Series X a couple weeks ago and it looks like shit on a 4k monitor. Don't want to go and play it on my PC because I have nothing unlocked :/

 

[TheMay30thMan]

Give us an FOV slider next!

 

[01011001]

Give us an FOV slider next!

Battlefield 5 has one I'm pretty sure... Titanfall 2 has one as well... as does Mirror's Edge Catalyst... you gotta specify your games here lol

 

[Halo is Back]

I want a res increase for Battlefield 4!

Please do this so much! I can't fucking play that game in 720p anymore

 

[carlosrox]

Dead Space or piss off EA.

 

[TheMay30thMan]

Battlefield 5 has one I'm pretty sure... Titanfall 2 has one as well... as does Mirror's Edge Catalyst... you gotta specify your games here lol

On console? I haven't played any of those so I wouldn't have known.

 

[Estocolmo]

This is great for those that still play these games.

Yes great games have an expiration time of one year after release, after that they become irrelevant

 

[Max_Po]

so by default,

if I remember correctly

BF4, Mirrors Edge were 720p on Xbox 1
while Titanfall 2 was 900p ..

It Titanfall 2 was x1x enhanced, FPS boot will take it down to 900p like Fallout 4 ? unless you do this trick mentioned on twitter?

 

[Chris_Rivera]

Bummer, BF5 is definitely running lower res for me. Why?
