I’m on Xbox series X. Skipped last year. Which one is best? Does it impact actually game graphics or just menus/cut screens? I’d prefer better graphics but not if performance drop is noticeable. Thanks!

I do graphics, but that's probably because I'm not a pro 1337 gamer.

PS5 on graphics mode had cutscenes in 30FPS while performance keeps us locked at 60FPS so I always prefer that. Not enough graphic difference to sacrifice frame rate imo. But it’s always up to the person what they prefer.

Last year, I couldn't tell any difference between the two modes on PS5. I don't know if there is any difference on XSX or not but I doubt it. Graphics mode might be worth it if you're trying to get a lot of screenshots maybe.

madden 23 (and i think madden 22) in performance mode is 120fps on XSX.

i dont know about ps5. perhaps the same.

Graphics mode on Xbox Series X still is 120fps according to my LG TV game optimizer mode FPS counter. PS5 is locked to 60 like last year. Heck I think every sports game on PS5 is hard locked to 60 for the max.

Thanks to everyone who replied. I gotta dig deeper into my tv. I think motion rate is 120 but 4K only goes to 60fps or something like that. I only use it for playing Madden and watching football so forget the specs. I played a few games on graphics and it seemed fine. I’ll try a few on performance and see if it feels different. I don’t take screenshots or stream so if performance benefit is noticeable I’m good with lesser graphics.

Performance mode XSX running at 120fps. With M22 If I used graphics mode, the cut scenes were not as smooth.

My Samsung S95b does show 120fps on graphics mode but I don't think that's accurate, even with freesync on. (although I don't notice much difference, need to see if it changes during cutscenes)

Edit: to me, performace mode is much more smooth, at least on my tv
