The original Xbox One launched in 2013 as an all-in-one entertainment box with a Kinect sensor, broadcast TV integration and an imposing \u00a3429\/$499 USD price tag. Its ambitions as a multimedia centre were high – but it came at a cost. Xbox One was underpowered due to a DDR3\/ESRAM memory system with less bandwidth overal than the GDDR5-equipped PS4 and substantially lower GPU compute performance. The 2016 launch of Xbox One S was an improvement, not just in terms of form-factor but in performance too, thanks to a GPU ‘overclock’. All of which raises the question: how does the vintage 2013 model perform when challenged with the latest cross-gen games? If Xbox One S is struggling – which it is – does that mean that owners of the OG model get an even less impressive experience? We decided to find out.<\/p>\n

First up, let’s refresh ourselves on the differences between the original Xbox One unit, codenamed Durango and its One S successor (known internally as Edmonton). While broadly similar to the original unit, the One S features a higher-clocked GPU, taking the GCN-based design from 853MHz to 914MHz, a 7.1 percent increase in frequency and GPU compute, while memory bandwidth on the integrated ESRAM increases from 204GB\/s to 219GB\/s. Plus, the new console came with a bevy of new display features owing to its support for the HDMI 2.0 output standard. The GPU improvements here weren’t massive but they gave the performance-starved console a bit more overhead to deal with demanding games. <\/p>\n

This new system replaced the original Xbox One for our cross-platform analyses at some point during 2017 and hasn’t been revisited since – and by extension, we have to wonder to what extent the older machine gets full QA support on the developer side in a world where the vast majority of Xbox One machines out there are the newer S model.<\/p>\n
