The first technical preview beta phase for Halo: Infinite is currently underway and below you can find some 4K/Ultra screenshots from it.
In order to capture these screenshots, we used an Intel i9 9900K with 16GB of DDR4 at 3600Mhz, NVIDIA’s RTX 3080, Windows 10 64-bit, and the GeForce driver 471.41. We’ve also included MSI Afterburner as it showcases the CPU and the GPU usage.
Halo Infinite’s Technical Beta build is currently CPU-bound. Even at 4K/Ultra, our RTX3080 was never used to its fullest. Moreover, the game used all of our eight CPU cores during our playthrough. Unfortunately, though, our performance did not increase when we enabled Hyper-Threading.
Since this is a technical preview, you should not pay attention to these performance figures. Still, this is something to keep in mind, especially if you are taking place in this beta testing. So yeah, Halo Infinite Tech Beta Build currently requires a lot of CPU power on PC.
Furthermore, and since this is a tech beta build, the game’s graphics do not represent those of the final product. However, these screenshots can at least give you an idea of its art style.
Enjoy!

Did you get accepted for the beta?
this is what you get when diversity hires with little to no talent and sjw`s take over gaming.
Cut this bs boy.
Every post you made is about SJW here, there etc.
Not everything is running on SJW/LGBT/BLM agenda and idealogy.
I agree with you about the SJW thing but are you implying racism is not bad?
Rascism against every race is bad including cis white males.
Yeah they bury the Holocaust of 20 million Christians in just Russia, just like they bury the truth about “colonialism”. Rabbi’s often teach Columbus was actually Jewish. You will find many scholarly articles about that as well. Even CNN ran an article on it before realizing they have to blame white Christian Europeans for “Colonialism”. THE DEMOGRAPHIC WHO WORKED HARDEST TO END SLAVERY AND WHO WERE SLAVES IN THE CRIMEAN AND BARBARY SLAVE TRADE, WHERE THEY WERE SOLD AND OWNED BY JEWS AND MUSLIMS. The Jews were kicked out of Spain because they repeatedly teamed up with Muslims to kill Christians (now they have us dying to protect them from Muslims). It’s why they hammer their revisionist history in the media about the inquisition so hard.
Columbus was “Italian” as much as Aaron Lopez the slave trader was “Spanish”. When you look at someone like politician Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez who has names like Cortez and Lopez, she quietly admits she is of Jewish ancestry. She freakin celebrated Hanukkah openly, while she roleplays as a Christian. That’s because the “colonizers” who raped and exploited the Natives were Jewish, not the Christians who have been scapegoated.
You never hear about people like Aaron Lopez, just like you never hear that the Dutch Trading Companies were completely dominated and run by Jews. Our history teachers are a joke and our universities have been completely subverted the last few decades. They skip over the fact that this tiny nation magically got super wealthy all of a sudden and had the biggest fleet in the world in the 1600’s. 20,000 KOSHER ships. New York was called New Amsterdam because they ran everything. They ran the slave trade and they dominated the rum industry (they used alcohol here just like they did against the Slavs or the blacks in Harlem, which is something Malcolm X called out) and the industries that used cotton.
“Jews were so influential in those colonies that slave auctions scheduled to take place on Jewish holidays often were postponed (there would be no buyers or sellers),” -Marc Lee Raphael, a professor of Judaic studies at the College of William & Mary.
The kicker? Herod the Great is considered a Jew. They celebrate him in Israel. A man who put Jewish children to DEATH is celebrated. Think about that. Herod was from Idumea, which you know as Edom. Jew used to mean from the tribe of Judah. This is why they try to confuse the issue with “it’s a religion not a people”, and why they say anti-SHEMitism instead of anti-judite. They (Edom) lived in Israel (eventually), but they are complete frauds as “Jews”, which is why Jesus called them out at Rev 3:9. Judaism worships Saturn. The “star of David” is the Star of Chiun (Saturn), which the Hebrews outlawed at Amos 5:26. They bind Saturn worship cubes to their heads. A cube is a folded up cross. Kabbalah is straight up the occult and Christian’s still die for these people. They own the media, now they are taking over games. It won’t end until they build their third temple. The abomination that causes desolation.
The main focus atm is destroying masculinity and men, because if you can destroy the head of a household you can destroy the entire house and make them into golems. Women are stupidly easy to manipulate if they think something is a social norm, which is why the LBGT brainwashing happened first on talkshows, then soap operas, then their sitcoms. Those women influence the children and they all turn against the father. Other than destroying men, you get the ethnic groups to fight eachother so that they never notice who runs Hollywood, who runs the banks and who are STILL your slave owners with finances. BLM founder Alicia Garza? Was raised Jewish and identifies as Jewish.
Racism does not exist in this world the way anyone thinks it does. Not in the west.
Nothing wrong with racism, which is a natural for all humans.
Buddy this industry is imploding. You think the entire Blizzard thing wasn’t a sham? Might want to google “fintel Soros Blizzard”. Blizzard was failing due to SJW insanity, so they need to sell a “rebirth”. The same shill streamers and influencers calling them out now, will cheer on their even crappier games made by mentally ill whackos. The same thing magically happened at Ubisoft with similar lawsuits. Might want to read the lawsuit there. Suing over not making the protagonist in an AC game a girl. That is this industry now.
Oh and for those that think they aren’t burning video games past like they have in Hollywood with Star Wars, LOTR soon? Sam freakin Maggs now works as a writer for Aspyr. The same idiot who claimed virtual rape in GTA V, when she wasn’t tweeting about casting magic spells (moron thinks Harry Potter is real). I hope you enjoy the “remaster” of KOTOR.
These people HATE You. They HATE what you love and they are burning it to the ground to try and replace it. They are funded by people who subvert nations. They knew all about wrongdoings at companies by employees and only kept people around or it silent so that they could use it to push for more subversion with the media companies they also own. Example with Soros? He now funds VICE. Disney did before him.
Literally every single major corporation in the US does it out of cancel culture fear. They always do it in the smallest ways possible in order to make you ignore it.
You are literally falling for one of the most basic propaganda principles the communists ever invented. The very idea that announcing your pronouns even makes sense is silly. We know your pronouns thanks to years of evolutionary distinctions and a clear cut one or the other English language. It’s beautiful really.
Don’t put AC Odyssey in the same league as WD Legion. The latter one is an absolute demonic marxist filth which managed to surpass last of f4gs 2.
What! You mean you aren’t sold on a game when the first thing the leads do is announce their pronouns, like in the MS Coalition Unreal 5 demo? This console generation is going to be a joke. The RPG’s will be political sermons about gender politics and the shooter campaigns will be dudes in drag bossing us around as we brutally slaughter straight, white guys. Wonder what they will tell their shareholders when no one even pirates this garbage. It’s sad because the tech is finally here with asset streaming to provide insanely detailed worlds. The problem is that the rich worlds will be filled with ANTIFA “good guys” and quirky rainbow mafia companions who you want to throw out the airlock.
It’s gotten to the point I don’t even care about my next GPU. All that’s left is OLD shooters that play faster than this console shooter crap and MMO’s. Neither require a big GPU, cept New World and it’s so CPU bound it doesn’t matter. You will get 40-50 FPS in some towns on a 3090.
I pity anyone who will sit there through something like Dragon Age. They actually think the people making that game care about a RPG or a fun game at this point. The Ubisoft Star Wars game will focus on cringe romance as much as their other new games. Will probably cater to furry degenerates with wookies.
I can think of ONE “triple A” new game coming out I am even remotely interested in playing in the next few years. Elden Ring. That’s the list. CDPR was subverted so I don’t even care about the next Witcher game.
Check out The Ascent. It’s a real f*king game without the f*king bulls**t. Trust me after you get past the first part you will realize that holy sh*t this is what games used to be.
Generic isometric game. PC has seen these in droves for years, dude. It ain’t that good.
I played it some more. The world really is exceptional. The game kinda plateaus a bit. It gets really impressive after the intro area.
It does not. It is nothing I haven’t seen before.
That kind of political crap is why you draw the line. Not the graphics the simps are crying over.
Weren’t they supposed to only make female characters ugly, not the whole game?
You’d get Bioware, not this. What the actual hell are you clowns looking at? It’s clean for an online shooter as it should be. Go ask literally anyone that plays a shooter on PC. Anyone worth a damn turns settings down for visual clarity. The game being this clear without neutering the settings is a good thing.
Be a little more worried about the story of this game. The kids ragging on the graphics are clueless as to what they’re looking at.
Lol please tell me you’re joking.
Reach has a grungier more realistic art style but the graphics don’t even come close to this.
Settings are locked to MEDIUM.
Even if you select high or ultra nothing changes.
Confirmed by plenty of insiders on halowaypoint
So stfu and sit down boy.
Why they would do that? specially after the backlash for the visuals in the first trailer?
Seriously, this doesnt look like a step above Reach. It almost reminds of a mod for a COD from 2015.
EDIT: i saw a video, dunno what it is, the materials made the models look like they are made of plastic, like toys.
I mean, if it is it is. And it sounds like the settings are locked.
This looks terrible. Doom on low looks better than this crap.
Doom was designed as 60 fps game. Halo is designed as 120 fps game so every frame need to render in just 8 ms.
Even weak Series S (299 usd) run this game at 1080p 120fps. Faster Xbox Series X (499 usd) render game in 2160p at 120 fps. This game will work on any PC
Given is a F2P game, of course it will run well, add to that the crossplay with the consoles.
But, this is the main IP from Microsoft and this is the best they can do to showcase their game/next gen consoles? im not impressed at all, granted this is the multiplayer component, the campaign will have more eye candy…but 343 is behind it so the game is doomed from the get go to me.
They need to choose. Create game designed only for current generation of hardware or support also older hardware so more people can play. They choose to create game that will run above 100 fps on average PC
They want create game that will fight with Fortnite. Free to play game that will run fast even on very old hardware. I don’t be surprised if 5 years old PC will run this game above 100 fps
We get it, the game runs above 100 fps…you mentioned like 5 times already. Trust me, comparing it with Fortnite is not a positive.
MS promote 120fps in games because they know that Playstation 5 don’t support 120 fps in games because of HDMI limitations. Sony used older GPU in own console with don’t support native HDMI 2.1 and is limited to 32 Gbps instead of required 40 Gbps
Currently Xbox support more than 100 games with 120fps mode, Playstation 5 just 11 such games with limited colors (8 bit instead of 10 bits)
well i’ll take 60fps game with current gen graphic rather than 120fps with last gen graphic anyday
120 fps games have 50% lower input lag than 60 fps games. I hope that in this generation all FPS games will be designed as 4K 120 fps
Yet console gamers play games on TV’s
4K 120fps looks great on big TV. Every new TV support 4K 120fps because it is required by HDMI 2.1
Looks great and having great latency are 2 different things.
You are still answering like a MS employee..Fernando has competition it seems. You dont need to sell me the console, im not interested in consoles.
Least he has a new friend i guess haha sleepyjoe guy is in full force loving this bland texture game
If graphics is your focus, please, quit gaming. You people are the reason we get crappy story games where we hold the left stick forward. Eagerly awaiting a cutscene.
You’re aware realism eventually gets to be too much, right? Pretty visuals all around in a shooter make it distracting to look at. There’s a very fine balance to land especially if they want it to be competitive. But hey, don’t take my word on that, just every pro shooter player on PC. Settings are always reduced for visibility and clarity. Not having visual clutter in your FPS game to start is a good thing. Good God is it frustrating to see such uninformed, clueless consumers.
I would agree with you if the gameplay was improved, but this is not the case for Halo Infinite, who is asking for realism in a Halo game? the artstyle alone makes it look generic as sin, like a Destiny clone with a Halo skin for muh nostalgia. To this day i still play CS 1.6 even when it looks ancient for today’s standards, you know why? cause it plays like a dream still today (when you remove the shields), so shove your “graphics wh*re” argument deep in your as*.
You really sound as an apologist, not just for this game but for consoles overall…what part of “its also on PC” you dont get?

I’m well aware it’s on PC. This doesn’t alter the fact that morons here have determined with certainty how this is going to play out with an incredibly limited beta. We would call those people clowns.
I haven’t been a Halo fan for a long time. This doesn’t even feel like Halo. The graphics complaints are bogus. I’ve seen what passes as “good” to the people complaining. They often don’t know what they’re looking at and found a bandwagon to hop on so they could feel correct. It’s lazy. There’s a million other reasons to be concerned about this game and the graphics ain’t it.
“But, this is the main IP from Microsoft and this is the best they can do to showcase their game/next gen consoles?”
I’m actually getting tired of reading this all the time. Halo has only set a visual bar a selected amount times. Do to having their release dates much later into the gen. But It’s not been the reason to jump into the games. The series is more about the co-op.
Juanmas7er – “this is the main IP from Microsoft and this is the best they can do to showcase their game”
This is said all the time. Halo games usually don’t set visual standards. 9 games total. Not even did Halo 1 and 2 compared to RE4, which you can look it up. Halo games are popular for their multiplayer.
Halo 1 looks waaay better than RE4! What are you saying?
You are insane? from the first Halo on the OG xbox to Halo 3 in 360 and even 5 on One the Halo games were always a showcase in tech and visuals for Xbox…on the level of Gears of War or Forza. You are insane.
Your idea of “looks terrible” is so comically outlandish I can’t imagine how bad your taste in games is. I have yet to be convinced it’ll be a good game but to say this looks bad is both stupid and ignorant. It looks perfectly fine. Realism is getting a bit old on me but whatever, everyone does it now.
Played it on XSX and feels great to play. Graphically it’s very clean with decent lighting.
The dirt looks muddy and not in a good way
It doesn’t look it in a bad way, either. Clean, simple visuals are kinda mandatory for shooters if they ever want to be competitive. As far as we can tell we have locked settings so far as well as it being a beta. Good God gamers sure love to pretend to have standards at the dumbest times.
Same people worrying about this are the same people who told me 2077 was going to be fine.
Lol you have got to be kidding me the textures are terrible and you are wrong textures can be detailed while also having high FPS a good example to that is doom external.
“can” be. You’re idea of what “wrong” is, is wrong. Moron.
Having a higher texture streaming budget in most games means less frames. What planet are you living on? Jesus I doubt you’re even on PC.
Then again I’m dealing with some casual who probably circle jerks Doom Eternal like its a fantastic game. It isn’t. Generic consumers here to give expert opinions. Just what I wanted.
AGAIN, Doom has better textures and graphics and i even hear that this game plays like trash on a PC with graphics like this it should be a 240 FPS game on most setups.
It’s a beta. Moron. It’s supposed to.
Optimization is very good – every modern PC should run this game at 144 fps:
– Xbox Series S (4 TFLOPS) – 120 fps at 1080p
– Xbox Series X (12 TFOPS) – 120 fps at 2160p
Series X does not feels like it is running at full native 2160p to be honest, I could be wrong ofcourse.
Check benchmark of ElAnalistaDeBits on YouTube. Game is perfect stable 120 fps on consoles
current consoles:
Xbox Series S: 1080p 120 FPS
Xbox Series X: 2160p 120 FPS
previous consoles:
Xbox One: 1080p 30 FPS
Xbox One X: 2160p 30 FPS
I’d be happy you get a stable 120. Don’t expect both on consoles. You get what you pay for with basic computer components running a custom OS. If console manufacturers went back to custom hardware we’d see bigger improvements between generations. Xbox One/PS4 were supposed to be the move to 1080p/60fps and we’re barely there on new hardware. Kinda sad what consoles became.
The game even runs on Xbox One’s jaguar apu from 2013.
If 343 doesn’t mess up optimization old potato PC should also be able to run this F2P game.
But that’s only if 343 doesn’t eff*** up the PC optimization.
Its easy. Check benchmark of ElAnalistaDeBits on YouTube. Game is perfect stable 120 fps on consoles
current consoles:
Xbox Series S: 1080p 120 FPS
Xbox Series X: 2160p 120 FPS
previous consoles:
Xbox One: 1080p 30 FPS
Xbox One X: 2160p 30 FPS
Should even be able to play this at 120FPS on a smartphone
People crying about the graphics of…
…a 120fps game on a 300$ console.
People crying about the graphics of…
…a 120fps game on a 300$ console.
It’s also on PC my boy…
This game is designed to run 120fps on Xbox Series S (299 usd). This game will run more than 100 fps on average PC
Game is free to play so low requirements are very important because not everyone have modern PC. There are still people with 4 core CPU or GPU without raytracing
And why should i care about consoles performance on PC? tell me something i dont know instead of repeating the same PR stuff
Lol no one is getting those frames now in the flight. Currently the game stutters alot. Even people with insane rigs can’t get past 60.
So this ugly inferior GFX fidelity console shooter made for base Xbox One has some magical b.s Hardware decompression which is Direct X Storage I/O probably and since PC HW doesn’t have we have insane frame drops but can max out pretty much every other game over this garbage cucksole boxes.
TOP KEK.
we know
So why are you crying about people complaining? you are aware that the standards and expectations from a game on PC are different than in consoles?
you don’t know what are you talking about, stop.
Says who?
i’m still waiting
For what? new glasses? a reality check?
The complaints so far are childish. I expect this from blue checkmarks having a tantrum.
And your justifications make you look like a 343 apologist. Guess what’s worse. At least i have standards unlike console fanboys.
Kill yourself r**ard. 343 has yet to make a game I like and I play on PC. What fantasy land do you live in where you make this crap up? Seriously. End your pathetic, wasted life. Every bit of oxygen you waste is a crime against humanity.
It dumbs down the resolution further to run at 120fps modes……… so please, please stop using that as the new excuse.
You actually are going to pretent that the default visual development of this game, that started 6 years ago, took 120fps as the base standard when, TVs weren’t even around at that point???
Maybe you should go and cry some more.
try playing at 120fps on a 300$ PC, good luck
Stop calling the new consoles next gen then, cause they need games from previous gen (dont tell me this game looks and plays like a next gen tittle) to run at those “120 fps” they promised.
When people say that consoles hold back technology, this is an good example of that.
Halo Infinite looks like a game made in 2015, would compete with COD Advanced Warfare back then.
read again.
How about you make sense? or just go to twitter to complain about people complaining.
100+ fps on “esports” games (they are aiming at that scenario) is nothing out of the ordinary, so why you bring the framerate as something unique for this game? unique on consoles? sure, but at the cost of the game look like from half a decade ago…something unaceptable on PC, from the main IP of this indie studio called 343 supported by Microsoft.
Looks the same and it looks so boring.
Everyone who thinks they’ll upgrade the visuals is lying to themselves
This is supposed to run on an Xbox One S
thats the point A LOT of people dont understand. this is an xbox one game first.
Exactly. 6 years in the making and, yeah, in the last 12 weeks before the game goes gold, THAT is when they are going to double down and try to make an impressive looking current gen game by at least 2014 standards.
It’ll be upgraded on every platform it can be upgraded on. They won’t not squeeze this for everything it’s worth. Kinda do or die for Halo.
Kind of a bummer for base Xbox One Halo 5 players.
Halo 5 ran at 60fps on the base Xbox One. But Halo infinite is clocking in at 30.
They should implement a 720p/900p 60fps mode for that system.
it does look very last gen.. not worth years of waiting and waiting.. and waiting.
It looks… Like not custom hardware on consoles and being manufactured with the lowest common denominator in mind. “last Gen” is a hot take when you probably can’t tell the difference between games from the beginning and end of last Gen. That’s how bad the hardware is for consoles. Crappy custom PCs.
He tried to his best to hide them but those ugly a*s 2 gens ago old looking trees still showed up lol https://www.dsogaming.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/game_Release_2021_07_30_17_55_14_945-scaled.jpg
I’m in the flighting right now. Sadly the game plays like halo 5 still. It’s tailored for fast pace COD like players with AimDownSight and sprint.
I mean on its own it’s a decent game. But it’s far far from a halo game. I am very disappointed.
I am also disappointed in the supposed “Die Hard Fans”; They all complained about halo 5 for years, then 343 serves them up the same game but painted with a coat of nostalgia and they eat it up…. Even some YouTubers whom I’ve respected in the past years is eating this game up.
Halo is officially dead, well at least I have MCC to remember it by.
That’s what I was waiting for and I don’t think I’ll get it. 3 was the last good Halo for me so this title, as a Halo game doesn’t interest me. But, it’ll be free on PC so I’ll try it.

Looks like a high res X360 game. Back compat Halo 3 basically looks as good as this.
Put down the tub of glue you’re eating.
Pick up your glasses. It’s astoundingly mediocre looking and totally unoriginal for a brand new console release. Sony and Nintendo execs laughed and then fell asleep seeing THIS is the next iteration of Xbox’s biggest exclusive.
Which is ideal for any competitive shooter. I’m just waiting to see if it’s worth playing. Visuals look clean and clear. I don’t see graphical settings making for bad visibility plays, thankfully.
Crysis 3 is a fundamentally bad shooter. Not super sure why a pretty, but legitimately boring one and done game is your gold standard here.
Yikes, Playstation fanboy. You actually liked shadow fall? You’re legitimately retarded. You do not have taste. Halo not being good since 3 doesn’t make Killzone worth a damn.
As a Playstation fanboy, you should be aware you are literally, and I mean literally, the single most generic and easily amused consumer in the world. You probably have the delusion that the Last of Us is good so you can keep up with the console wars. Your obsession with graphics is moronic at best. People like you aren’t worth oxygen. You’ve killed creativity in this industry.
Crysis 3 doesn’t even have decent hit detection and this guy is going to tell me the fundamentals are all there. Lol. Try again when the PS4 isn’t your first console.
He dropped one game and you assumed some s**t about him. LMAO.
Killzone >>>>>> Halo BTW
No, I did some more reading. BTW, Killzone was down hill after 2. Which I did like a lot. None of these games did near as well as something like Halo 3. And that’s the last Halo game I even liked. 4 sucked. 5 mega sucked. Reach just didn’t tickle my fancy.
He compared graphics. Crysis 3 is s**t gameplay-wise but so does this Infinite trash.
You say that but the Halo community is happier than they’ve been in years. Which makes sense given how bad 5 was and how poorly MCC functioned.
Go and see the Halo community right now. I think they’re a bit too happy, but they’re happy. Which is saying something after most rational people stopped giving a crap after Reach.
Is it for Xbox 360?
Why this game is sooo heavy?
looks like 10 years old game
“Since this is a technical preview, you should not pay attention to these performance figures”
You are wrong,my friend…I have never seen in my life a game released in beta, which drastically improved its performance in the final version!
I’m ready to bet that the performances will remain the same!
John, why didn’t you update the drivers to version 471.68?
BTW,in your opinion, could something change?
