Many video games now offer a Performance and Quality mode. But what is the difference between the two and which should you game with?
Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.
The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.
Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.
15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.
These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
Thanks to the slip-up of an artist working on the title, we now have more evidence that a new Injustice game is in the works.
All available May 5.
Its like the final episode of the Sapranos. You gonna go to make a comment and when you click add th-
I think the only game here for me is Nine Sols. Was always interested in that game.
Good month for me, I wanted that particular footy game and thought it might be due. Anyway who cares, shame about the site I'll miss the comment sections. All the best everyone.
Depends on the genre and how the modes are executed for me personally. Like i don't need 60fps for something like R&C where it's not the most reflex dependent gameplay, so in cases like that i pick visuals. However some games have very solid performance modes with almost no discernible difference, and in some games both modes suck 🤷♂️
For FPS I prefer performance modes, accept Fortnight. When playing it in graphics mode, on Series X my FPS rarely drops below 60fps, as your FPS are displayed up top.
There was only one time I was dropping in, from the party bus, and my FPS went all over the place. I mean below 26 fps. I quit that game before landing. Dropped right back in, and was back at 60fps. Must have been the server.
Have to say, it's fun to stop playing Fortnight for awhile. Then go back to see what's changed. Pretty impressive Unreal Engine 5.1 upgrades to visuals, without losing 60fps. Of coarse it's just an island, and not a massive open world game.
I’ve pretty much been doing performance for everything. On my PC I play maxed settings 3440 x 1440p performance if available. On my 4k tv for PS5 or Series X I always play performance.
Mostly because we have hit the point of diminishing returns with graphics. Quality never seems to really do anything significant over performance these days.
30FPS in 2023 should never be a thing, going into the future all games should be 60FPS at the very least with settings maxed or close to it at 4K. I game mostly on PC but, for me the sweet spot is FPS in the 100s's. Future game consoles need to try to get the best PC video card specs at the time of development so future games will not suffer.
The last few games I've played I've really struggled to see a difference between the two modes. Certainly not enough to give up 60+ fps for.
