    Resolution doesn’t change the number of draw calls.

    There are plenty of CPU limited games, and they wouldn’t have bothered giving the X a higher clock if it didn’t mean anything. Anything short of actually identical is a problem when you intend to demand identical features.

      lowering foliage draw distance, LODs, Volumetrics, particles, crowd density etc. does lower your draw calls though.

      Yeah, the series X has a faster GPU that can take advantage of the slightly higher clocks for higher framerates or additional detail/objects.

      Practically speaking that 6% makes no difference whatsoever in terms of whether or not you can do something. Maybe the series S drops a few frames below it’s target when something intense happens, that’s going to be about it.

      The memory bandwidth is shockingly halved with 2GB of it running at 1/10 the bandwidth of the X though, I see that being a huge issue in many titles.
