I suppose you'll be the person front in line with a big smile, dishing out 500 bucks ever two years. If you're happy with that, then have a blast with the big three companies and their futures.
PS4 Pro specs revealed - 4.2TF, 8GB GDDR5, up to 310W power consumption

Because people are stupid. Whaddya want?
let people spend their money however they want, actually you do sound mad
Upscale, no question. The highest end PC's are just starting to make 4K-native gaming feasible. A $400 box isn't going to come close.
That would be why I told him to have a blast.
It's not upscaled it's just more efficient rendering
That's is? No red pill dream?

Lewl that presentation was bad, all I got out of it was that Sony wants to sell more over priced 4k TV sets, the whole "behold the power of 4k" when I know damn well it's upscaled, they should have went more into how it betters current 1080p experiences since a whopping 2% own 4k TVs.
The comments along the side were all that kept me entertained.
Ebgames better have a damn good trade up offer otherwise there's not much reason to even bother.
$515+ Canadian for the PS4Bro or $370 for a Gtx1060 lol
I also laughed so hard when it WAS two fucking ps4s stuck on top of eachother LOL!!!!
You know what, if it was marketed as a high end 1080p device this would come off as a damn good deal, but fuck off with the 4k.

It's as 4k as the bullshit 1080p behind Quantum Break.
fair enough

Do you remember the exchange (in the Sony E3 thread I think) where a dev said the Pro would have a feature no one knows about?
Any idea what that was supposed to be?

In here the big problem is the 310w and on other topic is the lack of UHD Br.
A $399 4.2tflops console was announced an say that's minor, almost like the xbox S.

Blast processing.
Upscaled . must be. I expect 2.5D games to be native though.
That makes no sense, it's either native or not? Eagerly awaiting DF analysis, only way to be sure really.
Thank you!

If it was more efficient rendering it would actually be rendering at 4k just more efficiently. It's however rendering at whatever the games native res and making it 4k. That's upscaling however you slice it.

It depends on the game obviously

Yea, too many uninformed comments about the 310w. It's just a max PSU rating

Do we know if Sony included SATA III in this? Or is it still on II?

I recommend downloading the VP9 3840x2160 encoded Horizon: Zero Dawn gameplay using 4K video downloader.

Play back in VLC, if your computer's up to it.

That is the max draw, I believe. Meaning that it won't hit that amount. More-so around 150 watt.

They needed to focus more on the potential benefits of 1080p displays, no question about that.
Looking at the 8GB RX470 which is a ~5TF card that has a power draw of ~133 Watts. The one I looked at has a core clock of 1254Mhz and 2048 shaders so how the fuck does the PS4 pro even need a 310 Watt power supply? A 2304 911mhz Polaris should draw no more than 110 Watts, probably less, the CPU, WiFi, mobile, HDD etc should use less than 50 watts. This is the same ballpark as the OG ps4 so why do they need the beefier power supply? It seems odd to me.
If it was more efficient rendering it would actually be rendering at 4k just more efficiently. It's however rendering at whatever the games native res and making it 4k. That's upscaling however you slice it.
There's a difference between straight upscaling, and the various reconstruction techniques.

How loud is it?
FTFY.
Aside from the question of UHDBD - which by its omission in the presentation could be inferred to not be included - all the questions about performance on HDTVs was in Cerny's segment, and was clear as day to me.

Exactly. I shouldn't even say this but I a bigger movie collector (Standard BD) than a gamer, so I was disappointed with no UHD-Blu-ray playback.
Then I realized this:
PS4 Pro: 4.2 TFLOPS GPU (1 TB) $399
Xbox One S: 1.4 TFLOPS GPU (1 TB) $349
As a gaming machine, there's no comparison! We are in a different league
You want to know the truth about what the PS4 Pro does or do you just want something to point your finger at?
Only answer with an integer value between 7 and 23.

This totally ignores the fact that the PS3 for a long time was the best Blu ray player on the market and was used as a primary player by home theater enthusiasts.
We all know the answer to this. It's not native. Sony is actively telling developers to use checker board rendering and the results are supposed to approximate an image close to 4K. Until we get RAW footage and people scrutinize it, I don't think you'll have your answer as to how much more important it is to have native 4K versus upscaled from 1800p.
Probably won't for most games, but that's an unnecessary(and potentially misleading) simplification.

Making you feel good about keeping your OG ps4.
They are using checkerboard rendering to get close to 4k (1800p) and then upscaling the rest of the way.
310 Watts is not a problem, it's a curiosity. It shouldn't use any more power than the OG PS4 so why the bigger supply, there has to be a reason and I cant see it in the spec sheet.

We wont know this for sure until they are out in the wild. PS4s arent suppose to be loud but alot of them have thermal paste issues so they are.
Until streaming came along and ate disc media's lunch.

What could the Pro be doing to be displaying those games at 4K? My 4K set displays 1080p games at an upscale to 4K, but they don't look like that! I wonder how they are doing it.....
