Look at the frame counter in this stream. Absolutely shocking - I do apologize but I can't say anything else about it. The upgraded game barely ever reaches 60 fps on PS5, it hangs around 40-50 most of the time, even going as low as 30. The backward compatible version ran at a near-perfect 60 fps on most routes, this is a huge step back in terms of performance. It's clear that 4K resolution is not viable with a performance profile like this. Again: on a 60 Hz, non-VRR screen this performance is NOT good. Anything below 60 fps means awful stuttering, and a variable 40-50 fps is even worse. PS5 (and I guess Xbox Series X) desperately needs a lower resolution graphics option. 1080p? 1440p? I don't know but this is a step back from the previous version which was butter smooth. Disappointing. This is not PC gaming where people benchmark their unlocked games to see what their rigs can do. This is console gaming where stable and smooth performance is king and stuttering kills the immersion. I only hope the developers will consider adding a performance mode on these consoles, as this framerate is unacceptable.
