You need a "HDMI Premium High Speed" cable for HDMI 2.0. Easiest to just try it out.

Why didn't you just swap HDMI cables, or move your Bonx upstairs?

What everyone else said it's a fancy pants cable. Didn't think my switch docks cable supports the standard and my set up has the other cords in the wall. This is what I get for being lazy and not running my xbonx cord in the wall too lol.
Anyways that's my anecdote about the one x actually being a pretty substantial upgrade.

Unless MHW runs just fine on a base PS4 which in sure it does lmao

You maybe need a fancier HDMI cable for 4K but it should still at least give you 1080p. Also how likely is it that an HDMI cable not going to support the higher-end signal, anyway?

It's mostly this. It doesn't even hit the classic 900p threshold and looking even worse than most games would at 864p due to a weird temporal reconstruction technique. It's 1080p on base ps4.

Hmm I never got far in Witcher 2 in part because it was struggling to run on 360, and bought it digitally back in 2011... might give it another shot.

I've had my Xbox One X for like a week now. I like it a lot. Everything seems to look and/or run better.

Diablo 3 Xbox One X Enhanced with seasons is great and the framerate seems rock solid (unlike on the normal xbox) and it consumed a lot of my weekend. I've also got all of these new 360 enhanced games. I'm looking forward to revisiting Forza Horizon and Crackdown. I still think the first Horizon had the best world / soundtrack of the 3 so far.

I like FH3's soundtrack at first but it's kind of wearing on me. I don't do the classical station of Epitaph (poo poo post punk and hardcore).

It seems like I hear the same 5 songs for each station. I wish I could remove the Groove playlist option. Flipping through and having it fail to connect every time is aggravating.

HDMI cables are all the exact same connectors and cable inside. 1.0, 2.0, 2.1 or whatever, a well made HDMI cable can carry all of them.

Official 2.0 or 2.1 certified cables are supposed to have higher quality shielding and wires so that the signal gets less interference over a longer distance, which is necessary for the higher datarate signals to be carried, but good HDMI 1.0 cables can do that just as well, especially over short cable lengths

Even an old HDMI switch should work fine with it, as long as it's just physically switching the plugs and uses good connections inside.

Yeah, I was using a super old 1.4 HDMI cable with my X to a 4k oled and I got HDR through it. Then it burnt out, and then a second HDMI cable burnt out two days later. They were both extremely old but now I'm curious if I was pushing too many bits and the cable just couldn't handle my bits...:thunk:

If you're not hellbent on PUBG: The PS4 Slim is the better console than the Xbox S (more powerful, which means 3rd party games will generally run better on it) and has a vastly better selection of games.

Why is it such a pain to connect to hotel wifi using the OneX? On ps4 i can use the web browser, on switch it goes to the hotel sign in page right after setting up the connection, heck even the 3DS was easy. On the oneX i have to enter a MAC address from an already connected device and the connecton drops constantly. Is it because the one's browser is edge and it sucks? Y u do dis microsoft?

Since the addition of seasons on consoles I stopped playing on PC because hell, they did a great job with how it handles with a controller. The inventory management is hell too but not having aiming and moving tied and rolling is great.

Surely I must be mistaken, but is it so that my ancient dinosaur PS3 has CEC capability and can turn on my TV and receiver when it turns on but the Xbone doesn't? Everything I'm seeing on my gfs system seems to indicate we need to buy a ridiculous accessory to achieve this.

That matches my experience. On the plus side, it doesn't lock up my lovely TV when shutting off like the PS4 sometimes does, but that's on Samsung for handling it poorly rather than Sony for actually implementing CEC

So aside from not having 1/3rd of the games you asked about, the PS4 has a vastly better selection of games you don't want. Welcome to the Xbox thread
