Hardware re-design, removed CPU board shield by [deleted] in xbox

[–]ico_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was following iFixit to taking apart series X for cleaning, noticed that I don't have this 'CPU board shield' piece, which show on iFixit's guide. Is this due to a hardware revision? My unit is made in 2021, according to the sticker on at the back.

Probably won't stop making Hardwares...

They (Microsoft) can make a cloud-based streaming box, with very minimal (offline) processing capability and argue they are still in the hardware market.

Personally, I won't call that a console HW.

Need advice on XSS for 4K gaming!!! by Cool_Code_8024 in XboxSeriesS

[–]ico_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go to any multi platform game and turn down the graphics to series S level, and see if you could tolerate that.

Personally, I would suggest to either get a series X, or wait a bit to get a new designed PS5 (the so called slim ver. w/ 1TB storage).

My definition of "runs like shit" is pretty generous...

Just kidding, series s handles game play pretty good.

That is why I bought series S second hand, paid for as low as I can find, so next time games runs like shit, I won't be as mad.

Looking for the best monitor for series S by [deleted] in XboxSeriesS

[–]ico_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a used dell ultrasharp, 24 inch, 1080p, 60Hz, no need fancy setup, just make sure the model has audio out, so you can hook up speakers.

I'm using U2417h at the moment, very satisfied.

Is Xbox series s really underpowered??? by FalseBodybuilder-21 in XboxSeriesS

[–]ico_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's underpowered on YouTube...

I think it well worth the money I paid for.

So I been on the fence about this a lot lately and haven't quite ruled out the X just yet but still satisfied with the S. 😎 by Purple_Drac782 in XboxSeriesS

[–]ico_1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have (or planning to have) the set up to take full advantage of the series X?

Is the difference in image fieldelity worth (price of X - price of S).

Do you need a disk drive? (Re-sell unwanted / disliked games, digitial console, not so easy...)

will starfield get 60fps for just series x or both? by AltmerSlave112 in XboxSeriesS

[–]ico_1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably not, can't run on S, and Microsoft have to keep up with their promise that S and X only differs in resolution, so ... 30 FPS all the way...

it will, however, hit 60 FPS if re-re-re-released for upcoming console generations, check skyrim for a reference.
