next gen consoles giving an advantage?
Do the new consoles give players an advantage? I have noticed a change in the last few days, I have been getting smashed way more than normal. I know the frames are more consistent for them at 60 and...

@aisthebestletter Nope...
I came from Xbox One X so framerate was 80% at 59 and occasionally did the 57-59 tweaking but other than that the game performs the same. So far no better adjustments. Only thing with Series X is that even during intense moments it stays at 59. Never seen it dip once.
Dunno bout Xbox One and Xbox One S but they should also be up there at 50-60 I believe... albeit less consistently.

@Koochi-Qordered the PS5 specifically for Apex cuz I suspect that FPS drop is causing a lot of issues on close encounter so I hope this thing will be performing better.
also noticed the game get slower, animation get slow motion in the lobby but it goes back to normal after restart- @maximas1986 Lolz you rich bird XD. Buying a 500 bucks console to play a 0 bucks game XD.
But yea, it’s like most other games, when multiple assets are on screen, more cpu is needed so older machines struggle BUT you won’t really notice it on beefier machines. Coming from PS4 pro or Xbox One X you wont notice a thing.
@MandatoryIDtag that is correct, unless you aren’t heavily focussed on lagging/skipping frames.
Yea, there’s a lil bit of advantage, but if you hook up an SSD to your ps4 or xbox one and play the game from that vs someone who has it on HDD there’ll also be an advantage xD.- @Koochi-Q am not rich but anyway it's a most, also my son been nagging and asking for a console so once I get my hands on it I will send the ps4 to him,
"Coming from PS4 pro or Xbox One X you won't notice a thing" am currently using the first-gen PS4 ( I think ), it's the COD black ops edition so am not sure which gen it's considered.
@Koochi-Q So in short the difference should only be noticed between a vanilla model of the previous gen compared to the now current gen yes?
Sounds about accurate to me bud. I'm playing on a bog standard ps4 and I see my FPS fluctuate between 29-58 on the regular.
I guess in this scenario the argument could be made that there is an advantage of sorts....but the heavy fluctuations do dampen it somewhat.
@maximas1986 I think you may also be correct, the FPS drops i mentioned above generally reach the lower end of the spectrum during CQC.
On my One S I would say my average FPS is mid 40s-low 50s. Lowest drops at mid 30s. I also get near-constant micro-stutters every 10-15 seconds with the “player prediction” error symbol, occasionally half-second freezes during gunfights, and all that combined, along with the horrible resolution makes for a frustrating experience on current gen.
so I would imagine that people like me are at a disadvantage compared to the next gen consoles with resolution at or above 1080p and basically constant 60fps.
