does performance mode on new consoles make cyrodil better?

MrDenimChicken

Don't have the new console yet. Lag is horrible on my xbox one x. Has anyone noticed performance mode on the new console making a difference? Or is the lag just server side and the hardware has no effect?

All the animations seem smoother and you see a lot more detail in the skill effects but sadly the input and resposne lag that affects combat stems from delays in communication from your client console to the game server then to the client console of your opponent and back again and this update doesn't help with that.
Also don't feel to bad about not having a new gen console yet as the Enhanced versions seems to be Beta quality and us early adopters are certainly finding a fair amount of bugs for them to fix (hopefully....someday....maybe. Looking at you stuck in combat bug).

Thanks a ton for that response! I'll hold off for now.

In all fairness though I should give them credit for the load times being incredibly short now.

Yes the performance in cyrodill is much improved due to the fact that the cpu in the new consoles is orders of magnitude faster than the jaguar cores on the old consoles. That means the frame rate will not crash when you get into big battles.

This doesn't affect the network lag though, that's just the servers. But frame rate will not crash anymore

Frame rate holds up better

Draw distance is a lot better, you can see groups from further away and even what alliance they are.

Load screens are stupidly quick now.

As far as lag on skill, it's still a server issue and it registering what you're doing and where you are. That's still there at times and remains unchanged.
