Target FPS and HDR Slider on Xbox Series X

Games Halo Infinite
1

Hello everyone,

I’m starting up a Campaign playthrough on my Xbox Series X, and I last played this past winter. 2 questions:

  1. I’ve noted they’ve changed the Graphic Presets from Quality to Performance to a Frame Rate Target. On Xbox Series X though, 30 FPS was not a thing when last I played, only 60 (as my TV does not support 120). The description reads that lower framerates will provide better visual quality, so my question here is: What are the visual differences between a 30 and 60 FPS target on Xbox Series X? Are there changes in texture quality, lighting, shadows, level of details, etc., or is it simply how often dynamic resolution scaling will kick in?

  2. I’ve also noticed on the Screen Calibration part of settings that while the Brightness Slider functions, the HDR slider has no effect on the image at all. Note I’ve confirmed HDR is engaged when I’m playing the game. Is this happening to anyone else?

Thanks!
