Issue Description:
On Xbox Series S, Performance mode suffers from severe stuttering and poor frame pacing when entering populated areas such as villages, even when the framerate counter remains at 60fps. This may suggests that while the framerate is technically achieved, the frame delivery is inconsistent due to CPU or streaming bottlenecks, leading to perceptual frame drops and gameplay instability. Fidelity mode (30fps) does not exhibit this issue, likely because the capped framerate reduces system load, allowing smoother and more consistent pacing.
So this is my suggestion:
Introduce a third graphics mode that combines the lower resolution and visual settings of Performance mode with a 30fps cap. This would reduce CPU and GPU strain while maintaining consistent frame pacing in complex environments. It would provide Series S players with a more stable experience than current Performance mode, without the visual overhead of Fidelity mode.
Thank you for reading I'd appreciate any feedback.
