Guys, stop thinking PS5 is equivalent to 6600XT!
PS5 is equivalent to RX 6600/2070...
I know you all are making that comparison based on that literal specs, but running games the 6600XT is stronger...
But PS5 is a console and in some games or elements in games, the optimization make the trick!!!
And sure!
Sony Exclusives made using all those algorithms and Artistic talent, are in another level !
This is not true. Wholistically speaking, PS5 is closer to a 6700 than a 6600XT.... or even a 6600. And is more like a 2070 super than a 2070, mind you the latter performs worse than a 5700xt, which is not as powerful as a PS5.
Yes, these metrics start to get skewered when we start talking about things like RT and DLSS, but from a raw performance metric, and also using AMD GPUs, PS5 is AMD 6700 and Bvidia 2070 super.
Is it possible it can be upgraded to full rdna 4 by release? Also do you think it's possible they delay the pro to 2025?
Possible yes. Needed? No.
Sony is not going to "delay" a PS5pro from a potential 2024 to a 2025 release simply to have a better GPU in there. They just do not need it.
Don't forget what the PS5pro is going to be for. What its designed trio do. It's designed to take your perfectly fine and working PS5 games, that may be doing 1440p internally @30fps and upscaling/reconstructing that to 4K, with PC equivalent settings of RT low, and raster settings ranging from mid-high to running at 1440p reconstructed to 4K at 60fps with RT medium to high settings and raster settings of high where necessary and medium where not.
So the question is this, how much more power over the base PS5 do you need to achieve that?
Hence, expect a PS5pro to be roughly 2x the power of the current PS5, with emphasis on better and more advanced RT, not just with regards to more RT hardware but more advanced RT tech. And stuff like more bandwidth and a better CPU.
I am sure some people would like to knock one off to the powah of the PS5pro....etc, but anything more than what I just described, is simply not needed.
