Reply to Im on a budget is the series s worth getting? by WithManyVoices939

If you already have an Xbox with entirely digital games then I’d say yes. If you either have the vast majority physical or don’t have one then I’d say that unless you only plan on playing a handful of games that you are better saving up and getting a series X. I say this as a lot of the games on the Xbox store are still a lot more than what you can find used or even new for a lot of physical games.

TLDR

If you have a lot of digital games/aren’t going to play many games then YES

If you either have a lot of physical games or are going to buy a lot of games then save and get a series X

You can just Google is "Does Elden Ring run at 4k in performance mode" to get your answer. Plenty of sources will tell you the same thing. And since your method of measurement is your xbox settings I'm inclined to say you don't actually know what you're talking about here.

The Series X is impressive kit, but it is not going to run high fidelity 3d games at 4k 60fps and no one sensible would claim it does.

Digital Foundry have been involved in a lot of controversy, and not whenever I check anywhere about digital foundry, it’s telling me they are biased, I used to believe in digital foundry, but I don’t anymore, if you have a different source other than digital foundry that shows the same results I’ll believe you, but I don’t trust something so deep in controversy

The resolution you've selected in the Xbox setting does not mean the games you are playing are output in that resolution. According to Digital Foundry's tests, performance mode on Elden Ring can result in resolution being scaled down to as low as 2688x1512 and frame rates can vary between 45 and 60 FPS.
