60 FPS performance mode question

Just ordered a Xbox one X with FH4 bundle. I do not have a 4kTV yet. I was wondering if the 60 FPS/1080P was part of a enhancement download like with other games,included in the base game and just “unlocked” by playing on the X or in the enhancement already included in the digital game? I am on a data cap so I need manage big downloads carefully. I have asked several friends and I am hearing two different answers.

Thanks

Is 60 fps mode available on the One S? If not I’d say it’s a part of the enhanced download. I don’t think there’s a huge difference between the 2 dowload options though. Maybe 20gb? I’d have to check.

60FPS mode is only on the X. I assume its part of a download but I have a friend telling me otherwise. Guess I will findout when I set everything up.

Thanks

You can set you One X to not download the enhanced version and then try it. If it’s included that’s cool. If not hold off on downloading the enhanced add on until you have a 4k tv or more data or whatever the limiting factor is. Although I wonder of it will do 60 fps 1080p on a 1080p tv? Seems like it would right?

Xbox One S does 30fps at 1080p. HDR is supported if your TV/monitor compatible
Xbox One X does 30fps at 4K. You have the option to run at performance mode, so you will benefit of the 60fps at 1080p.
Although if you download 4k content on the 1080p TV it will still work, obviously the content wont be presented in 4k.

As far as i know you will always get the most recent version of the game. So your X1X will look for the enhanced version and that’s a meaty 63.5 GB. If you would have the FH4 installed on X1S before, then you would have the option not to download the 4k content, and may still play on X when you do the transfer.
Perhaps try a friend who has unlimited data usage, and download it from there? In exchange for some beers.

On the side note, you will end up choosing 60fps 1080p anyway regardless of what TV you have.

I prefer 30fps 4k personally on my One X.

YEP! What he said!

Well, i prefer too. But when i started to play, i played 30/4k, then for fun i tried 60/1080p to see what is it all about. Then i switched back to 30/4k. Oh boy…
Once you get used to the 60, its very hard to go back to 30 because it feels very laggy.
But its just me…although it’s a shame we cant get both 60 fps and 4k on the strongest console on the market at the moment.

So do I, but for the 3-star drift challenging. Due to the strong camera panning in drifts, I found them easier to do with 60fps. Other than that I prefer the more impressive 4k presentation which not just improves resolution. 60 fps aren’t upheld in all situation btw.

If you use an HD monitor/TV, can you still use 4k btw. (like a super-sample, improving quality over normal HD)?

Thanks guys, I will try it without the enhancement to try it out first.

you will be able to play FH4 in 1080p/60fps on your X
one X display settings> 1080p of course

I have the X1X on a 1080p TV. I use the performance option it’s amazing. Yes, the 4k option works fine on my 1080p TV, the supersampling cleans up the image a bit.

I can’t find any way to run this game without the enhancement download. It is not optional on any enhanced games. Even though the 4k textures are not needed in performance mode, I don’t see any method to shrink the installation size.
