DF Direct Weekly #168: Starfield Series S 60FPS, New PS2 Emu For PS5, ARM Windows Gaming Disappoints
Some practical tests in this week's episode of DF Direct as Rich examines the modded performance modes cropping up for the Xbox Series S version of Starfield - while his £2,000 investment in a Surface Laptop with Snapdragon X Elite translates into some truly awful gaming. Meanwhile, John's been checking out the new PlayStation 2 and PSP emulators for PS5, while Alex isn't particularly happy about Game Pass versions of PC games missing DLSS and other upscaler support present on Steam and EGS releases.NOTE: In the Snapdragon X Elite section, both Control and Dark Souls 3 are running with Auto SR. These are two titles that automatically invoke the technology, which may explain why native 1080p is not available. All tests conducted with mains power.
