^Console image quality is beat by 4K DLSS(Performance).

This was an excellent video by Alex. It explains some of the performance issues I was having.

Let's do this

 

[Haggard]

The dirt cheap DLSS Performance mode looks significantly better than the output of either console.
Ok, I´m impressed, NVIDIA.

VRS Tier 2 confirmed on Series X

It looks considerably worse than the PS5 version IMO:

Wierd.

 

[Heisenberg007]

This video is pretty good. Very in-depth and high-quality. Alex tested many different scenes and explained everything in super detail.

That's the quality of content I hope to get from Digital Foundry more often. Good job, DF!

But Alex said right there and then that the Tier 2 VRS with that blurring is doing wonders. WONDERS.

Yeah, Series X has easily the worst IQ.

Why are consoles still having AF problems?

Why are consoles still having AF problems?

Bandwidth contention (probably).

That's weird, XSX is pretty blurry in comparison to the others.

 

[Md Ray]

900p internal res on RTX 2060 via DLSS producing better IQ than consoles is extremely impressive. Not surprised as we've seen this before... But still holy shit!

Thanks, NVIDIA.

Bodes well for the next-gen Nintendo console if they still go with NVIDIA.

No he didn't ,he said DLSS is doing wonders.Cut it out.

It's embarrassing how hard some of these haters try to go after Alex.

 

[Md Ray]

That's weird, XSX is pretty blurry in comparison to the others.

Yeah, I wonder what the perf difference is like with VRS on vs off. And if it's even worth turning it on if the texture and image quality get degraded like that. Weird it's not available for PC.

I imagine XSS will look even blurrier with it enabled.

If it leads to such a degradation, I’d rather not use at all TBH

I thought it was only VRS type 1 that blurs it like that. Isn't VRS type 2 supposed to make it unnoticeable?

That’s what was said, but looking at it now I can’t say I’m impressed.

 

[mansoor1980]

why isnt VRS available on pc . low spec rigs could use it

Maybe it's only noticeable if the developers use it wrong. That's all I can think of.

 

[Self_Destructive]

That's a 400% zoom on a tiny area of the screen. At normal playing distances, it's likely not noticeable.. and most certainly not while actually playing and moving around in the game.

 

[Panajev2001a]

No console comparison in this video

We get some minor minor VRS tier 2 artefacts (Battaglia speculation) but to see it well you need to zoom on a zoomed image. Not sure if it makes for any extra surface shimmering. Looks like a great console version on both but sure you can build a PC today with better looking visuals.

 

[RobRSG]

Well, at normal viewing distances XSX is looking just fine… Can’t see much difference between the XSX and PC version at home.

 

[Panajev2001a]

I thought it was only VRS type 1 that blurs it like that. Isn't VRS type 2 supposed to make it unnoticeable?

Biggest difference I recall is the ability of Tier 2 to vary the shading quality in the same draw call (based on the mask you setup) while Tier 1 works per draw call.

 

[Panajev2001a]

Reflections at higher resolution and of more objects do make a difference. Not huge but they do.

That is common sense VRS trades image quality for performance.

 

[HAL-01]

Surprised he didn’t talk at all about the RT lighting improvements. They’re pretty small but noticeable on a side by side

 

[RobRSG]

Reflections at higher resolution and of more objects do make a difference. Not huge but they do.

Sure, the RT reflection is the easier aspect to spot a difference. The rest is negligible.

 

[skit_data]

That is common sense VRS trades image quality for performance.

Well, I knew it would trade some IQ but I thought it would be less noticable.

I mean, the PS5 is running the same settings so the only justification I can see for it being used is if it outperforms the PS5 by quite a lot. I guess we will see in upcoming comparisons, this one didn’t include one for some reason.

 

[Kangx]

It's kinda embarrassing to listed VRS as a feature that advertise your game really. In most cases, it result in worst image quality. VRS is use to boost performance for God shake. MS should stop forcing this on their marketing. Let the developers use the feature and let the game performance gain do the talking. Here when I see this. I fucking cringe.

Buzzword (acronym?) bingo makes the marketing world go round.

 

[Self_Destructive]

Hardly any noticeable difference when not zoomed in on.. Probably definitely worth the performance bump it affords.

 

[Lions Gate]

so better IQ and texture filtering on PS5 as always

Was outriders a case of VRS or texture filtering?

Not the first time. Definitely more blurrier than the PS5 copy.

Spoiler

*quality perception*
PC = 100%
PS5 = 80%
XSX = 77%

What do the percentages mean?

Quality perception among the platforms. Sry, forgot to add it.

 

[SlimySnake]

Am i going crazy or was the vrs bit the only ps5/xsx comparison?

Clickbait by Alex.

Nice PS5

[THE DUCK]

Game looks really nice with the update, not zoomed in. No worries.

 

[Kholinar]

...maybe the consoles should've come out a year later.
