Apex Legends Feels Clunky On My Xbox Series X vs My PC.

My PC specs.

Windows 10 Pro
Seasonic XP2 660
GTX 8GB 1070 EVGA
Ryzen 3600x
DDR4 3200
Gen 3. NVMe SSD
ASUS B450-F Gaming Strix-F
   
   vs

Xbox Series X
         
      Both use the same monitor (ASUS PB278Q 2560 x 1440), router and cables.

Things worth mentioning.

My PC ingame settings are quite disabled. For example my textures, effects, V-Sync and most all settings are turned to their lowest possible settings. I prefer lowest input latency, over screen prettiness. Even though I experience screen tearing on my PC, it absolutely feels like butter. My Xbox Series X on the other hand looks like butter, but feels terrible if that makes any sense.


I honestly would like to know why Apex Legends feels this bad on my Xbox Series X.

EDIT (Update).

After some testing, I've narrowed it down to Servers, Networking and/ or direct graphical settings. For example, If I use V-Sync, Ambient occlusion and some anti-aliasing in Apex Legends PC, it starts to  feel similar, but not 100% identical.


Those settings do contribute to the overall input latency like I experience on the Xbox Series X, but not the clunky animations and/ or movement I keep noticing.

    What do you mean by both are 4k. I'm guessing when I say this, but do you mean the consoles are running at 4k? Looking online it states the Xbox One X and/ or Xbox Series X both run at 2560x 1440 (1440P) with adaptive resolution in Apex Legends. I don't think it ever ran at 4k on the Xbox and/ or playstation.

  • I just assumed that it ran 4K on PS4 pro and X box 1 X. I never owned those consoles, but I know that with their GPU specs (same as rx580) they will barely be running at 4K. So it looks like they run 1440p instead for most games. I wonder why X box series X isn't full 4K? Very strange that anything at that resolution runs noticeably worse on a brand new console. Besides 1080p gaming I play VR which is lower resolution, but taxes the GPU more, so I don't pay attention to higher resolutions in general.

    I don't mind both. Different communities, different gameplay. I'm not a biased person at all. I'm also don't care about skins, so it doesn't matter to me what I have unlocked between the two.

    I honestly don't see the connection between your hashtag and consoles.

    Oh, okay yeah. The new consoles don't have official support yet, so they're basically just running the old generation versions. So in my case the Xbox Series X is running the Xbox One X version if that makes sense.

    I knew that the new consoles weren't supported yet, just really odd how different it feels to play Apex Legends on PC then on consoles.

    @Popa2caps While it is true the new consoles dont have a version I've noticed a massive difference from my ps4 to my ps5. I imagine going to 120 fps will be a similar step.

    Please note, I'm not trying to sound rude and/ or mean in any way, but why did your comment have anything to do with frames per second?

    I'm honestly confused by your reply.

    EDIT

    I'm adding this to make it less confusing in my reply.

    I totally understand the differences between high refresh rates, but this discussion is more or less why my Xbox Series X feels so clunky compared to my PC which has less powerful hardware.

    Hope that makes more sense.

  • @Popa2caps Isn't apex still running on specs for a last gen console as opposed to current gen? Which I guess is why it would feel clunkier on your xbox in comparison to your PC.

    I'm in no way knowledgeable on this side of things so this could quite easily be entirely inaccurate lol.

    @Popa2capsI responded to your post before mine where the discussion was about last gen vs new gen consoles. 🤷‍♂️

    As far as why your pc and the xbox feel different I have no idea what is meant by clunky. But with similar specs I'd expect the PC to perform better considering the game is produced to run better on a PC. I mean on PC you have a vast array of options to fine tune the experience. Console you do not.
