RT reflections are absolutely identical on both.
Anysotropic Filtering: PS5 > XSX >>> XSS. Alex supposes this is a bug since there's nothing about it in the games' config files.
Puddles are missing in reflections on PS5. Alex supposes this is a bug since there's nothing about it in the games' config files.
Other than that the game looks identical. Loading times are PS5 > XSX/XSS, 18 secs on PS5 and 26 on XS.
Performance is perfect with no version ever dropping a single frame.

Watch Dogs: Legion - essentially identical on PS5 and Xbox Series X

They say everything is same between ps55 and xsx from performance to resolution to raytracing . just one tiny difference:
"
Series X delivers a slightly lower level of texture filtering than its PS5 equivalent.

Great results but I really hope they patch in a 60fps mode even if they disable RT to do so. Playing this at 30fps after playing Spider-Man at 60fps is too jarring.

Anisotropic Filtering worse on Series X is very weird. I agree that it seems like a bug.
AF on Series S though... That looks rough. It's very unfortunate, especially because AF isn't that big of a performance hit.

Both are the same in settings but a few bugs are in each that affect different things.

Alex is not sure why Series X isn't performing better than PS5. You will hear this a lot as the generation goes on I am guessing.
Current generation game not taking full advantage of the I/O of either the Series X or PS5. We have seen with SP: MM that you can get 1 to 2 second loads.
Man, that 18 seconds is a far cry from how I understood Cerny's presentation...

Read my tears about xbox here --->
Best played on PS5 again
Low AF in 2020 is a yikes from me.

You forgot to mention that the anysotropic filter settings are the same for PS5 and XSX on the config files too. So this should be a bug just like the missing PS5 Puddles.

ps5 wins?
AGAIN?

No? It's basically the same game on every platform. Even the Series S manages to get a good result here despite the lower resolution.

xsx has worse AF

It depends on the type of the bug you prefer, slight lower filtering (XSX) or missing puddles on reflections(PS5), LOL... They are identical man....

Better designed hardware (more potential, less bottlenecks, etc) lead to better performance.
Nothing new here.

AF has very little impact on performance so that's most probably a bug, just like the missing puddles in reflections on ps5.

jokes aside: these comparisons are going to dry up with these consoles being so close. win for gamers but can see DF needing to reach more to be relevant.

And PS5 is missing RT puddles in the reflection. Yes lower texture filtering is readily more apparent than missing RT puddle in a reflection but that is likely down to a bug for both.

AF is not a bug, its lower in config files on XSX. Bug its something unexpected. Lower settings is not a bug.
EDIT: I watched again, and is the same on config files.
I can't understand why he didn't rotate the camera to see the puddle supposedly you have to see reflected. Is this game have the same puddles on all versions? is not dynamic, I would really surprised.

Seeing how the resolutions scale and drop basically identical, I think it's a fair question to ask where the extra theoretical power of the Series X has gone.
That alleged raw performance advantage should be seen in these numbers.

Puddles are missing on PS5.
Andanotherone, indeed.
I expect this to be the case going forward. Minor differences between the two major consoles.
Anyone proclaiming this as "a win" needs to find another hobby.

He felt a difference and said he'd want comparison videos (to confirm if that's really the case). He can' t be blamed.
The other guy said NMS runs considerably smoother on PS5 than XSX. If NMS also runs the same on both consoles, that guy can be blamed.

cant believe xsx has worse AF..........xbox one usually had better AF compared to ps4

PS
For those, like me, who views DF as paid shills:
I just can't believe this channel. It throws so much bullshit out there on a regular basis.

I was a little confused why he made that comment at the end. He answered his own question in the video. They have identical settings. While I understand he could not look under the hood I believe it would be safe to assume they followed that same pattern with keeping things identical.

well I think it is very easy to feel a framedrop in a 30fps game. and it's also very easy to feel if it runs perfectly stable.

The PS5's 22% uplift in pixel fillrate over SX likely makes up for the lack of 2 TF.
That's a smart GPU design, IMO. Do more with less.
