Xbox One S Framerate issues

Kap28 · Jun 2, 2020

So I got a Xbox One S last year as a christmas present and noticed it had a little bit better framerate than the first gen Xbox One, but it still was choppy/laggy in singleplayer offline games (As well as online games). In some games that have lower quality
resolution my game appears smoother like it’s running at 60 fps. I know that current gen xbox games are locked in at 60 fps but they don’t reach that performance often.

I’ve tried hard restarting it, switching from a tv to a pc monitor, disabling the game dvr but it still hasn’t fixed or helped my issue at all. I’ve seen other people in youtube videos using an Xbox One S with no fps issues at all. I’m primarily trying to
optimize my console to games like Forza Horizon 4 or Apex Legends. I’ve given up on the pointless youtube tutorials that use the same methods as all the others, so hopefully someone on here can help me out with this annoying issue.

Hold the power button on the console for 10 seconds or until the power shuts down completely. Unplug the power cord from the back of the console for 5 minutes. Plug
the power cord back in and restart the console. I have heard this works

Hi,

There isn't a defined '60 fps lock', in fact most games actually run at 30 fps. Apex Legends is designed to run at 60 but in-game this frame rate can be inconsistent on the One S compared to the Xbox One X. Forza Horizon 4 run at 30 fps on One S. It can
only do 60 on an Xbox One X.

I suggest you look at many of the other comparisons that Digital Foundry have posted regarding system performance on many other games they've tested and continue to test when new games are released.

I don't like to say it here, but from my own analysis, the Xbox One S is a pretty weak console. I'm biased a little more now anyway as I'm now a 90% PC gamer, who owns a £1,500 Gaming PC that I built myself.

changing the HDMI cable will make zero difference to frame rate and the HDMI cable supplied with the One S is perfectly adequate. Buying a expensive HDMI cable is a waste of time.

try buying a new hdmi cable because some do not have those and if you can send to compose your xbox on the website

I’ve tried this many times but it only helps for about 30-45 min before my fps begins to drop again.

I’m currently using a Rocketfish 4’ 4K HDR high performance hdmi cable. I used many different cables but this one has made the biggest impact so far. Again, I still have fps issues.
