I simply needed to share some Sequence S information that I’ve been accumulating.

1. the Information Dump :

2) clarification of the Information :

I’ve been watching Digital Foundry (https://www.youtube.com/@DigitalFoundry) movies for final 5 years. Their PC/Console graphic and framerate evaluation ones primarily. The above information has been compiled during the last 3 years from Nov, 2020 to Sept, 2023. It reveals the gamewise graphic and framerate goal of Sequence S.

Most video games have a 30fps/high quality mode and 60fps/efficiency mode. This information desk has been made with a 60fps goal in thoughts. If a recreation talked about have a 60fps written it might even have a 30fps choice. But when a recreation talked about have 30fps written, it doesn't have any 60fps choice.

Within the first desk. The primary column incorporates Recreation Identify. The second column incorporates the decision it runs at to attain the talked about framerate. The third column incorporates the utmost framerate Sequence S can supply for the given recreation.

Consoles have Dynamic Decision to hit the goal framerate. I’ve talked about the minimal decision the sport runs at to hit the required framerate i.e. the worst case state of affairs.

Within the second desk. FHD means 1080p and Non-FHD means 1440p/900p/720p.

Many of the video games talked about have been launched in final 3 years whereas some outdated video games have been patched to 60fps with/with none decision enhance.

3) Background Story :

I’ve been enjoying video games for the final 10 years and have at all times performed on PC (Didn't knew that Gaming consoles are a factor earlier than 2016). Ranging from a shitty laptop computer with intel built-in (480p low 20fps) to my present rig of RX6400 (1080p med 60ps). I’ve loved my gaming years and have performed on number of {hardware} starting from very unhealthy to good.

In my expertise framerate has essentially the most influence whereas gaming, decision comes secondary. Good framerate is essential to benefit from the recreation (enter lag/fluidity). Taking part in at 30fps seems like enjoying in sluggish movement to me now. I by no means appreciated the consoles PS4/Xbox1 as a result of them being restricted to 30fps.

Come the winter of 2020, Sequence S will get introduced claiming 1440p and 120fps. Going by means of it's spec sheets, I assumed if this 4Tflop machine can do 1080p 60fps at 300$. It’ll be excellent machine for informal/occasional gamer with gamepass. It additionally didn't want a brand new 4K TV improve that means you’ll be able to proceed utilizing your outdated TV (financial savings).

I needed to purchase Sequence S for my sister however Corona and inventory availabilty have been a problem. So I dropped the concept. However I needed to see how effectively does this little machine can carry out. So I watched Digital Foundry regularly and made up this information desk. To my shock it held up fairly effectively. It warms my coronary heart to see that 4 out of 5 video games can obtain 60fps and two third of these video games can achieve this at 1080p. (PS4/XB1 had possibly 10% video games at 60fps)

My sister has performed some coop video games with me throughout her holidays (she is school at present) and says she will be able to differentiate between 60fps and 30fps however can't inform distinction between 720p and 1080p till she is them facet by facet. Low decision just isn’t a deal breaker for her as she barely play video video games. My home has a 32inch 720p TV, so it’s going to work fantastic for her then.

Now for the final 1 yr costs have stabilized and I’m as soon as once more . She is finishing her school in subsequent 3 months and I’m considering of getting an excellent christmas low cost on Sequence S, so I can reward it to her. Together with gamepass it will likely be a pleasant combo.

I do know {that a} console era lasts for about 6-7 years. Out of which 3 years has already handed. Sequence S has carried out rather well until now within the cross gen period (upto winter 2023). I hope that it performs effectively when video games are developed just for the present gen consoles (2024 onwards).
