Cyberpunk 2077: internal PC benchmarks tested on PS5 and Xbox Series consoles

In Cyberpunk 2077's 60fps performance mode, there are differences. In three of the four benchmarks, PS5, Xbox Series X and Series S are quite closely matched - with just the sense that the Series X isn't quite as solid with its lock to 60fps. In a fourth benchmark though, the load increases and PlayStation 5 can run at a maximum of 12fps to the better compared to Series X.

Xbox Series S is limiting Xbox Series X

[Einhander1972]

I mean, this video shows that it's just xbox hardware that is limiting.

All generation we see games run better on PS5.

Heck an issue that rarely gets brought up but is demonstrably factual is the stutter that SX has on next gen games that use high quality textures that it's SSD simply can't load fast enough causing a .5 to 1 sec+ stutters.

The fact of the matter is the PS5 is actually the better designed and more capable hardware, at this point in the generation it's undeniable.

🤘🏻 PS5 💪🏼

Well... it seems that PS5 is a better designed machine, with better dynamic hardware escalation than fixed Xbox Series design. But, really, it seems the problem is with software environment for developers, where tools tell where and when to squeeze the system. PS5 DEV kit does it in a more automatic way than XDK, for the moment. Yes, Xbox Series S can be a time consuming pit for smaller teams or big projects like Cyberpunk 2077, but Microsoft are trying hard to improve. Also, Unreal Engine 5.3+ have tools to help on this. Let's hope Unity and others invest on making development a nicer job, because this can also apply to Windows and other platforms as experience and third party tools get also better. Good luck, devs, players need you!

Haven't got clue about what u said there but the game is great and thanks for info even though it went over my head a bit

PS5 runs as good as RX 7900 XTX?

[phoenixwing]

This whole benchmark thing is completely flawed and isn't really representative of a pc under load except for one metric they used. It's basically useless. Or that's how I read it.

[XBManiac]

No, it runs far better. But both are capable of achieving 60fps at the same settings without the problems the Xbox Series shows. If you set higher quality settings and resolution, RX 7900 XTX will maintain those 60fps, while PS5 and Xbox Series will not. BTW, 60 fps is a lowest mark for the comparison as consoles are involved. If they compared RX 7900 XTX to consoles, they would have checked the no FPS limit on the PC side.

No, the test only really shows PS5 runs about 1 percent better lows than an 8 core Zen 2 4800S @ 4GHz and RX 6700.

This is a not very common discrete GPU close to the performance of the more common 6650XT or 2070 Super.

The game is GPU limited at these settings.

[ProjectVulcan]

Present? I'm spewing straight facts. The test was done by trying to use the most similar PC hardware possible to these consoles.

It showed PS5 had 1 percent better lows than a pretty wacky old AMD Zen 2 CPU and lower midrange discrete GPU running the game in a Windows environment.

No more, no less. They showed that similar PC hardware gives incredibly close results, which is not a surprise.

The video pointed out the game was more GPU bound in some areas by substituting in a more powerful GPU which locked the framerate.

[ZycoFox]

Man the console people seem to think better optimisation can put ps5 leagues ahead of a decent GPU.

DF have already shown a last gen 3080 putting out double the frame rate of ps5 running Alan Wake 2 at console equivalent settings, getting well over 100fps.

[ProjectVulcan]

If that's your point you're making it in entirely the wrong thread. My post that you replied to exclusively talked about comparable PC hardware.

No mention of Series X in this particular comment thread. Perhaps you will be able to avoid such a mistake in future.

Having the most horsepower doesn’t mean your the fastest car. Getting the power to wheel is more important than how much power you have at the crank.

Both PS5 and Series X are impressive machines. Just one does it a little better. The majority of gamers won’t really see it unless they are looking for it.

SX is a Starfield machine, it doesn't need to be fast.
