Keiseren Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi I currently have the original Xbox one, and a 1080P (non hdr) TV. im not buying a new 4K tv anytime soon. In the meantime: Is it worth upgrading to Xbox one X? Will I notice any visual and performance benefits on RDR2 on my 1080p tv? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess it would probably run smoother, but it would be the same (or close to it) visually. Probably not worth it in my opinion, but I also don't have my hands on the game yet...

YodaMan 3D Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Opinions are unless you upgrade both console and TV, no real reason to upgrade just one. Though those who have upgraded both, claim it is well worth the price to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I feel like I should just give in and upgrade the xbox... (searching amazon now...) Edit: Still ~$400...

Well you know you can't take the money with you and there is only so much they upgrade on a casket, unless you got other responsibilities. Why not enjoy it now.

I wouldn't bother upgrading, the only differences you'll notice is that the game would run smoother and the lighting would be a tad bit better. 4K graphics are useless seeing as though our eyes can only register standard HD. So buying an Xbox one X would be a waste of money imo. But, it is your decision at the end of the day, you do what you want.

Keiseren Posted October 26, 2018 Author Share Posted October 26, 2018 Well, on the regular Xbox one the games only runs in 800p or something resolution, right? So if I buy the Xbox one x, they game will probably run at 1080p, with better performance and lightning (and higher resolution textures/anti aliasing), right? If so, the benefit should be noticeable right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, xbox one is 1080p. (Looking into it) I'm curious how different the S and X models are... 1080 vs 4k (essentially) Edit: I have to stop reading, this is making me want to upgrade... Original xbox one should be running 1080 as long as your display can. I'm finding a lot of conflicting information about this... Edit: https://www.polygon.com/2018/10/25/18022378/red-dead-redemption-2-ps4-pro-xbox-one-x-comparison "The base Xbox One renders the game at a 864p resolution, which is by far the lowest of all four options. The PlayStation 4 version runs at a native 1080p; the PlayStation 4 Pro renders the game at 1920x2160, and then upscales it to 4K via what is likely checkerboard rendering, leading to a “softer” image. But the Xbox One X is able to run Red Dead Redemption 2 at native 4K resolution, leading to the sharpest, highest-quality visuals of all four versions."

A quick search on Ebay for used ones are usually $70-$200. Although i did see one on there going for $10... 6 minutes ago, Keiseren said: Well, on the regular Xbox one the games only runs in 800p or something resolution, right?

Plus, they're cheaper then the X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't explain that right lol I bought it for <$60 on ebay for parts, but it works just fine. I did a factory reset and never found an issue with it. The power supply cost me more than the console.

Sir Wrinklebutt Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Xbox s is a very good alternative if funds are tight, not a huge difference if you are running a 4K monitor/tv, suggest an external HD though, faster, larger and less lag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Dan Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 I don't think it is. My friend did the same thing and there is a difference but for the cost, it wasn't worth it. Just my opinion though. He boasts on and on about it but the difference is so minimal to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truth Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Saw my buddy playing yesterday. He has an Xbox one s with a 1080 TV, didn't look any better than my original Xbox on my 4k TV. Glad I didn't bother with that, but I'm still curious about the x. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Coca-Cola Kid Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 IMO there was a slight upgrade in quality when using the One X with a HD tv. However, I saved up and got a 4K monitor and there is a huge difference, so I would only spend the money if you’re planning on eventually going to a 4K monitor/TV.

DLKnives Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 I already had a 75" 4k TV so when the X came out I jumped on it. Hey I'm retired, gaming is my thing now. The picture with RDR2 is amazing, but if you don't have and don't plan to buy a 4k tv I'd just get a S model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
