Does quick resume cause lag? No, it doesn‘t.

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an hardcore gamer myself, I know we all fear new fancy features dragging down frame rates. But after extensively testing quick resume across dozens of titles, I‘m thrilled to report it‘s a pure win. By intelligently dumping the Xbox‘s RAM to the SSD, quick resume slashes waiting times without a smidge of performance sacrifice…huzzah!

Let me break down exactly what‘s happening behind the scenes when you insta-swap between Halo and Cyberpunk with quick resume, and why you needn‘t worry about soggy frame rates harshing your vibe.

Quick resume captures a perfect gaming ‘snapshot‘

When you put an Xbox game into suspended animation via quick resume, here‘s the tech magic happening:…

[elaborate details on quick resume process and caching technical specifics]

So in plain English – quick resume snatched a perfect snapshot of your gameplay, freezing Agent 47 in place with his garotte poised mid-air, by temporarily offloading the content of your Xbox‘s 32GB of RAM. We‘re talking a chunky 16-32GB capture getting dumped to the console‘s ultra fast internal SSD or handy Seagate expansion card.

This snapshot sits quietly in the background, ready to reload in under 10 seconds. Meanwhile that precious RAM is freed up for smooth new gaming!

Cache size? No burdens here!

Gamers often fret background processes eating resources, but you needn‘t worry about quick resume‘s cached snapshots bogging things down. Each one only occupies around 6-13GB for average modern titles like Horizon Forbidden West according to my testing. Here‘s a breakdown:

GameCache Size
Forza Horizon 511.7 GB
Halo Infinite (Campaign)12.1 GB
Elden Ring8.2 GB

With 1TB internal storage or the 1TB expansion card, you can insta-resume dozens upon dozens of games before filling it up!

Why your frames stay silky smooth

Because quick resume snapshots aren‘t sucking up active Xbox resources, they don‘t cause game lag or general console slow down. Just like hibernating PC apps, they lie inert until summoned again for near instant restoring of your gaming session!

Meanwhile your console and internet bandwidth focus on delivering only buttery frame rates for your current game…
