The Xbox One X is powerful!!

The Xbox One X is very powerful, even with a mid-range processor, it delivers what players are searching for to play in 4K. The problem though, is that even 6 teraflops of power is not enough to run everything in 4K. It uses many techniques and dynamic resolution in recent games, but many do indeed run in native 4K, like Red Dead Redemption 2, Forza Motorsport 7, State of Decay 2, Gears of War 4, Forza Horizon 5 (quality mode) and many more! The only downside would be the performance, it is quite stable, but usually targets 30 FPS, if not a performance mode at 60 FPS.

Pros

  • Graphic quality (texture, resolution, filters)
  • 1 TB HDD
  • Very stable
  • Very quiet if cleaned every 3 months
  • 12GB of RAM and 10GB of video memory
  • Incredible backwards compatibility and optimized old games!!

Cons

  • Performance doesn't reach 4k 60 FPS
  • Mid-range processor
  • Occasional FPS drops
