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 mine seem to dip into the 40s during intense fights. I am on the old S. Anyone else notice anything?

    @hayhor Sure thing. The best games won't be until next year anyway, never is at launch.

  • I have been playing on my Series S since launch and on Olympus the game ran at a fluid 60fps.  It would dip in the dropship below to the low 50s when looking at Rift and the mountain next to it.  Other then that it was solid.  However, Worlds Edge the frame rate has been tanking to like the mid 40s, especially in Capital City.  Even in the dropship the fps gets pretty bad.  I think more optimization needs to be done, at least for the series s.  I am playing on a 1080p monitor so its not rendering at 1440p.  Apex needs a lot of cpu speed from what I hear so hopefully the zen2 will help with that.

    I’ve upgraded from a day 1 Xbox one to the series x and difference is huge. The frame rate hasn’t gone up obviously but I’m order to run at 60 FPS the older Xbox one had to reduce the resolution a lot. I reckon it wasn’t even 720p. I had problems seeing enemies at distance. My tv tells me the signal it is receiving is now 4K and the hdr makes a huge difference to the quality of the visuals. 

    hope that info helps.
