Curious how that even pans out or applies, what kind of system software update could they supply that seemingly frees up more rendering resources?

Cooke got owned.  Boosts performance not the way it looks. Could be a bs claim, but fixing any hitches when doing 4k, if one really exists. :wonder:

Then again, visual performance does indeed have to imply how it looks. Not just framerate. I call bs mixed with terribly worded claim.  

 

Don't some games not go 4k, even if you set them up for that? :wonder:

It's a changelog, they don't just make shit up in changelogs lol.

What odd wording indeed.  Visual performance could mean things like minimizing noise or shimmering..other artifacts that were maybe cropping up in certain instances, maybe framepacing?  Also could mean improvements to SS scaling when on 1080p sets or monitors.. stuff like that.  Since the word visual is used, it's hard to believe that it's actually meaningfully improving game performance or framerates.

 

It's very likely just how the Xbox interacts with certain 4K tv sets.  Who knows?  It would be pretty sweet of them if they actually did squeeze some extra performance out of the system though.

You hit the name on the head. Visual performance could mean anyone of those things.
