Frame rate issues when spectating
Anyone else experiencing this? I'm on Xbox one S the weakest of all the consoles out there after the OG xbox but cant remember it skipping frames so much, it's making me dizzy and been watching my t...

@Koochi-Q OG PS4 has better CPU than xbox and runs games at higher resolution than Xbox s and OG, it is better but Xbox keeps up with some magic that fluctuates resolution and probably triple buffers vsync to keep input delay down.
- @CAGOA34 You are slightly wrong. Due to the GDDR5 the ps4 was better for graphical output, but the clock of X’s was higher resulted in better performance, as you said, slated more for home media centre.
- @Koochi-Q As someone who's owned them both, certain Xbox games ran at 720p 60fps while my PS4 ran them in 1080p 60fps most notably MGS5 and PES 2015, both made by Konami and they found working with Xbox very difficult when wanting the 60fps standard, BF5 is also night and day, I mean 720p compared to 1080p at 60fps says all you need to know, most recently the S has managed to hit 900p at 60fps but it's still pretty bad.
I do prefer Xbox though, it's my main because our dashboard and whole package is better but for performance it's PS4, what killed Xbox was the esram or something, Google it.- @CAGOA34 I get that BUT to the credit of Xbox, it used a ‘new’ kind of memory (esram) that devs didn’t knew how to fully utilize while ps4 used conventional memory so it was easier developing.
If devs knew how to develop properly they really liked it and could do good things with it.
It’s just like how xbox series S/X now uses the memory to run multiple games in parallel.
- @Koochi-Q Another thing Xbox absolutely demolishes PS4 on is download speeds, my Xbox downloads at 90-100mb/s same connection my PS4 does 10-12, Xbox online infrastructure is way better but you can't deny PS4 performance is way better.
Have you guys settled who's got the longest console yet? 🙂
Anyway, replay is not a video, it is a simulation based on the updates received. If the server is fully loaded, it might have problems processing the game and sending updates in time. If the simulation skips steps or receives updates late or more at once, you can imagine the result is not smooth...
Also, net might be more congested than usual. There's Black Friday in some countries, so a lot of people are shopping online. Also, it's the second wave of the pandemic and, with so many restrictions, people stay at home and eat cookies and bandwidth fulltime.
