Sony PlayStation 5 Pro

It seems 864p is too much for pssr and 30fps mode is still the way to play in AW2 on pro.

How so?

It's going to be patched I think. This is really the beginning. Developers must get used to the new feature set of PS5 Pro.

Yes, but I don't have 17 minutes to watch it. Plus I might not see what you're seeing, so explaining where you feel PSSR fails would help me understand the point if I do get chance to watch.

Seems the Pro adds a little magic to PS5 games even if they aren't Pro optimised. Black Myth Wukong shows a 10-15fps increase in demmanding scenes out of the box. I'm guessing this is maybe the extra memory bandwidth coming into play?

PS5 PRo Review video from Digital Foundry went up and I got booted out while watching it boooo

Something that I skimmed in the review before it got privated, is the power consumption. It's pretty much the same as the slim model. The margins on this thing, disgusting.

Guess we will know more soon enough. By opening and inspecting the unit one can determine the hardware configuration? Perhaps X-ray the board?

Sony PlayStation 5 Pro review: across the board improvements, but is it worth the money?

The PlayStation 5 Pro is here - and Digital Foundry presents its verdict.

'The truth is, the standard PS5 is still the best choice for most people - but for the core enthusiast looking for the best possible experience, the Pro option is there for you, albeit with a substantial premium.'

It's too much for any upscaler. The minimum acceptable input resolution for the upscaler should always be 1080p. That's when it starts to look acceptable.

Not as bad as the margins on the DualSense edge. For me, it's by far the most overpriced device Sony has released this generation but I digress.

How does game boost work for 30% or even 40% more performance?

Do PS5 codes really use 36CUs only?

 

[snc]

30% raw performance boost is underwhelming, its either not taking full advantage in boost mode or bandwidth limitation

I can accept margins on a pro controller. But a console? Not buying it.

PS5 codes were expected to use 36CUs only. No one has expected such a high boost.

Yeah but if 30% raw power advantage is also in patched games its not good for 4 years newer 800 euro no disc console

 

[Gamer09]

A 45% uplift in gpu power doesn't equal a whole system level uplift of 45% perhaps. In strictly GPU-bound scenarios there is up to a 45% uplift in performance over the base ps5.

I disagree. I commonly use DLSS performance on my 3840x1600 monitor from 2-3ft away and it generally looks excellent IMO. That's an 800p input resolution.

Sure, but the complete 16:9 resolution is 2160p, and that is upscaled from 1080p with DLSS performance.
