PS6 Might Not Support PS5 Pro Games Due to Different AI Upscaling Architecture?!

This thread confuses me. I do not believe the PS6 will run a PS5 Pro game because they do not exist. I believe it will run a pS5 game enhanced with whatever version of upscaling the PS6 uses. If anything, the PS5 Pro was a way for Sony to get experience with PSSR working with PS5 games. Why would they not be able to take that knowledge and use it on the newer version of PSSR?
These are just choices they have to make and some of them comes with trades that exceeds the usual performance gains from newer architectures.
 
Better than ignoring what's right in front of your face.

But to be fair, that's pretty much a prerequisite for people of your ilk these days so it's very much on-brand.
Awww, that's cute. I love how you think of me like that.

But please do elaborate - "people of your ilk"? Are you referring to my skincolor, my country of origin or are you gonna start pretending that you didn't know I'm black?

So unless RDNA5 WMMA h/w will drop support for these math types (highly unlikely) I don't see how it wouldn't be able to run PSSR1.
Data types aren't a problem, but Pro introduced specific SIMD extensions for matrix math that aren't in 'standard' RDNA shader ISA.
Kepler was likely referencing this may be absent(it certainly won't be in standard RDNA5).

Flipside is of course that PS4Pro had similar custom instructions and flags that don't exist in other GPUs , and so did 1X and both were brought forward into their successors.
Likewise I expect Magnus to inherit Series X custom ops(assuming MS doesn't pull the plug).
Could the PS5 pro be an exception to that trend? Sure, but really no way of knowing until ps6 chips come out.

Is it acceptable that I felt the majority of this forum are Black?

They did include ID Buffer hardware on PS5 which allowed easy BC of all PS4 Pro games using it. But will they include the INT8 matrix instructions on PS6? Cerny implied in his interview that they were not doing anymore custom hardware for Playstation.

For Magnus Kepler already told us that the GPU part was 100% RDNA5. But they could include custom ops on the CPU chip I guess. EDIT: Ha I just read Kepler that the xbox custom ops are going to be integrated into standard RDNA5 so making them available for Magnus. Smart. But Playstation may want to get rid of those to save die space for their GPU.

It will depend on the shade of black, what shade you feel us to be?

That's beyond my understanding, it took me decades to understand the deference between all 5 different human races respectively, and I made a lot of friends from every continent. I could tell denying the existence of any race is disrespectful and a major problem on every aspect of life.

It was a joke to show that it's pointless to assign such labels to people.
People that want to discriminate will always find subdivisions to do it.
 
I'm sorry that my skin colour offends you. But please stop the racist remarks in the future. Thanks.

This is some of the lowest IQ shit I've seen in all my time on this forum.

First you drop the race card because you've run out of things to say and can't cope. Secondly (which is what really makes this so hilarious), I'm a black guy myself.

But yes darling, it's all about your skin colour, which also happens to be my skin colour.

is this a joke??
It also said that the PS5 didn't have RT, it was software RT.

That the clock speed was unsustainable, and as the generation progressed, the PS5 would lose power due to the weight of the games, forcing the console to lower its clock speeds.

Alex Bugava from DF said that the PS5 beat an RTX 2070 in Death Stranding because the game didn't use the CPU, allowing the GPU to run at its maximum clock speed. As soon as the demanding games came out, the CPU would be truly used and the GPU's performance would decrease.

And that idiot Alex Bugava still said that Cerny was the one who said it would be like that.

LOL

The ultimate delusion, the first time in history that a console would become "weaker" as the generation progressed... All this because the resentful and spoiled can't accept another Sony victory.

But to put it in context, Cerny said they had already tested the 100 most played PS4 games on the PS5's backwards compatibility.
Then it became "I don't know, I think there are only 100 games on backwards compatibility."

If you're indeed a black man, why are you throwing racist remarks around? It makes no sense.

That said, I'm still waiting for the lovely Bernkastel Bernkastel to support his claims that said guy was employed by Microsoft. Feel free to help him. You seemed very insistent as well. I assume it's just you begging for my attention as usual though. You don't care about Bernkastel, that guy who was accused of shilling or any of that.

Aww, demigod demigod has arrived as well. The dynamic duo is together again to valiantly patrol the Forums of Gaf!

I'm not sure I'd take that entirely at face value - the Amethyst collab probably just means it's jointly developed tech available to everyone but it could still be first (or only) in Playstation depending on the use. But it's far to say we don't know how they'll handle PS5 BC - yet.

EDIT: Ha I just read Kepler that the xbox custom ops are going to be integrated into standard RDNA5 so making them available for Magnus.
Did he actually say that? Because that's changing the narrative a bit from that Lisa interview where there were allusions of 'special' BC extensions - and everyone concluded it could be Magnus/MS exclusive. It'd be nice if RDNA5 got all of it and we just get XBox BC on standard PCs as well.

Where's the racist remark?

You're failing to read the room here in more ways than one. But like I said, really not surprising, it goes with the territory.
 
People doing tech support in their free time, for a company that has a previous for campaigns of astroturfing, doesn't sound quite right tbf :messenger_grinning_sweat:

I mean, dumb fanboys are OK sacrificing their hardware to beta test Windows.

Nothing against, is their money, but acting like is nothing wrong with Windows 11 is stupid. The OS is not even get out of Alpha stage.

"people of your ilk" - i can only assume you mean my skin colour.

But please, do go ahead with the personal attacks. I'm sure demigod is very impressed with you.

If that's the assumption you made then that's on you.

Always assuming, always dreaming, always guessing, always ignoring reality. And then you wonder how you got here.

It's a shame.

I didn't ask for your life story, my friend. I'm sorry you live in a dream world, but that's really a you problem. But I think it's cool that you refer to yourself in 3rd person. It makes it a bit poetic. Good job!

I assume you talk about my race, since you say "people of your ilk". What else should it be?

And yes, you're damn right it's a shame. Unlike your buddy with the lol emojis, you actually seem somewhat capable of handling yourself. So it is a shame, that your go-to move is blatant racism.

I can't speak for anyone else but um, it's a message board with funny pictures or letters as our appearances. If someone ever said people of your ilk to me, I'd assume they think I'm a console warrior first. Or political leanings second, possibly first depending on the topic.

Stupidity Are You Stupid GIF


At this point I'm just starting to feel a little sorry for you.

Either your grasp of the English language isn't as good as you think it is, or you've got a victim mentality so deeply ingrained that your first instinct is to cry racism when you read the words "of your ilk".

At first I found you entertaing. You tried so desperately to appear funny and witty, with some light insults sprinkled on top. I suppose it's an attempt to gain several likes for each of your posts. Lack of attention in real life, I suppose. I guess it makes you feel all warm inside, when demigod appears to back you up in your attempts to show everyone who's boss.

Then you keep stalking me, desperate for my attention and when I finally give you a small bite to keep you happy, you call me stupid, insult my language skills and hurl racist remarks my way. Surely you have better ways to spend your life than this. I hope.

Oh wonderful, so now me replying to you = me "stalking" you? Get a grip, nobody is stalking you and nobody has made any racist remarks towards you.

You don't need to keep doing this, Resetera is right over there if you want to keep crying about things that aren't happening and feign being a victim.

You have a long history of stalking me, yes. It's okay. Do you want me to pat your head and tell you that you're a good boy? Or what it is exactly you want from me? Surely you must have better things to do in life than wasting time on an internet forum stalking people, desperate for their attention.

Sorry to upset you, but no, I have absolutely zero interest in "stalking" you.

Between this and the racism accusation, you're coming across as extremely unhinged here.
 
A lot actually have it backwards.

If this is true, it makes the PS5 Pro better and the PS6 worse.

It would mean there are actually versions of these games that only work on PS5 Pro.

Base PS5 versions would look worse(mostly) than their PS5 Pro counterparts.

PS6 might have some upgrade paths of its own but by then many of the games will be old and perhaps not get a new upgrade patch, so the PS5 Pro version of some games will end up being their best console version. This is GREAT for PS5 Pro owners since it allows us access to this(what will eventually be) secret library that will inevitably and quickly be lost to time. You doubt it now but run it over your mind a few times and you will see how it makes sense.

If it isn't true, nothing changes. PS6 will be fully BC with the pro versions of these games and nothing has changed.

....but if it IS true and you are current pro owner, this is nothing but good news.

I've told you many times the reason I bought the pro isn't the upgrades, but rather dominance.

This is another pathway to increase said dominance. PS5 Pro + PS6 + Switch 2 will be the meta console setup next gen for people who must have access to everything.

If you are a PS5 Pro skipper who hoped to limp along until PS6, this stings and make no mistake there will be malding if this is true. People who assumed they would get all the Pro work put in on PS5 Pro games when they bought a PS6(just like it worked this gen) will find out that it doesn't work like that actually and that ain't nothing. Like if a game in BC mode hits 60fps on PS5 Pro but not on PS6, would you be fine with that? You don't even know how pissed this would make some people and I can't believe no one else is giddy at the thought of this.

PS5 iGPU has RDNA 2 RT since BC-250's recycled PS5 APU's iGPU has hardware Vulkan RDNA 2 RT extension. It's missing the rest of DX12U features.

Considering what's happening with the Xbox brand lately, im not surprised that the fool is crashing out.

If you keep repeating that I'm sure you will eventually start to believe it. So have at it. I'm sure you'll get a warm fuzzy feeling inside.

I'll be happy to repeat myself - I haven't owned an Xbox in years. Unlike you and a few other special cases on Gaf, I don't hang my identity and life on a piece of plastic. You should try it.
