VGTech has the frame rate of the Xbox Series X S and PlayStation 5 versions in a video. doom eternal compared to each other. For comparison, the new modes Balanced, Performance (120fps) and Ray Tracing, which were integrated into the game with the next-gen upgrade Update 6, were selected.

9:40 – retrace-modes

As you can see in the video, all versions of the game run with a nearly steady 60 or 120fps in all modes. In Balanced mode, the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 use dynamic resolution, with the highest resolution found to be 3840 × 2160 and the lowest resolution found to be around 2720 × 1530.

Pixel numbers below 3840 × 2160 were found more often on PlayStation 5 than on Xbox Series X. For example, in a scene the PlayStation 5 collapsed to approximately 3456 × 1944, the Xbox Series X rendered the scene at 3840 × 2160.
