Support NeoGAF

[bitbydeath]

The planned 40 to 50 games that get PS5 Pro upgrades at the hardware's Nov. 7 launch will focus on 4K and 60fps upgrades across the board, but also have a laundry list of other graphics boosts including new volumetric lighting and effects, richer graphics, more on-screen background characters, and modes that can ramp up to 120fps or 8K gaming.

GT7 confirmed for 8K

Sitting in front of an 80-inch TV playing Gran Turismo 7 is an immersive experience. It's even more realistic in 8K resolution. I'm not a good driver, but that's partly because I'm stunned by the clarity of the vistas in front of me. I'm also wowed by a new 4K ray-tracing mode that casts car reflections on other racers. It feels almost like I'm in VR without the headset.

FF7 Demo

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth in particular popped compared to the fuzzier graphics on the existing PS5 version. Everything was sharper, and still 60fps smooth. It felt like putting new glasses on.

F1 24 Demo

My demo of F1 24 showed new ray tracing effects during a rainy race, which made the track and environment feel more photorealistic. Rain on the pavement reflected the car and the sky, and glass walls near me showed the stands across the road.

GT7 Demo

Gran Turismo 7 was maybe the most stunning demo of all, because it added two new modes. 8K gameplay on an 80-inch screen made me wonder how this could be used for sim racing setups with massive displays. Ray tracing, finally added into GT7's gameplay in another 4K mode, made crowded races with cars feel even more real. I was so hypnotized by looking at car finishes that I kept crashing.

What I Learned Playing Sony's PS5 Pro

Exclusive: I checked out the new console upgrade, coming Nov. 5 for $700, and played a bunch of games. Here's who might appreciate the new graphics boosts the most.

If ya think 4k is waste of compute resources, let me tell ya about 8k

 

[Xtib81]

No CP2077!? Please CD projekt, you have to release a pro version, it would do wonders, especially if they can add Ray tracing at 60fps.

 

[Coherenthy]

I can't wait to replay FF7 Rebirth on PS5 Pro.

 

[Vroadstar]

I can't wait to replay FF7 Rebirth on PS5 Pro.

I haven't bought FF7 Rebirth yet, so it will be great playing it on PS5 Pro for the first time.

 

[skyfinch]

So what about their older games? Will 30fps fidelity mode automatically run at 60fps?

 

[Skifi28]

No CP2077!? Please CD projekt, you have to release a pro version, it would do wonders.

If it's 50 games, there's a big chance it's in there along with the Witcher.

 

[Elios83]

FF7 at 60 fps with no vaseline and GT7 with in game ray tracing

 

[bitbydeath]

If ya think 4k is waste of compute resources, let me tell ya about 8k

Let me re-quote this for you.

It's even more realistic in 8K resolution.

 

[Zacfoldor]

I'm just hyped for DD2 on PS5 pro.

 

[tommib]

If unlocked.

 

[Fahdis]

Lol, that GT7 at 8K is absolute bullshit anyone believing this needs to get their ass beat by a 4090 Card that literally judders at 8K on complex games at 15 FPS or maybe get 4K at best on simple games at 30 Fps.

 

[Kacho]

Man I love marketing bullshit

 

[TehGoomba7s]

Would love an uncapped framerste for PvE on Destiny 2. Good VRR to clean it up too.

 

[GoldenEye98]

8K? Are people with a 4090 even attempting to utilize that?

 

[Gonzito]

What about Bloodborne, is it going to be stuck at 1080p?

 

[alucard0712_rus]

Gran Turismo 7 on PS5 PRO with PSVR2, here we go! Hoping for 90FPS and higher resolution in VR mode.

8K? Are people with a 4090 even attempting to utilize that?

8K with PSSR upscaling.

 

[Jibran#one]

I mean 90 percent of the games were on PS4 aswell
Ur asking for 800 euros for this and don't announce new exclusive PS5/pro games is insanity

 

[tommib]

It’s very scalable. Don’t forget that it’s a PS4 game. They’re probably compromising to have it run at 8K.

4090 can do 8k upscale easily. This is what this is, upscaling.

 

[Mr Reasonable]

8K? Are people with a 4090 even attempting to utilize that?

Easy to understand marketing.

 

[tommib]

What about Bloodborne, is it going to be stuck at 1080p?

Obviously it's AI upscaled, nobody said anything about native. That's the whole point of the console.

 

[angrod14]

8K is so 2020. I was expecting 16K. They better deliver it on the sixth.

 

[midnightAI]

So he's lying about playing it at 8K?

 

[TintoConCasera]

I'm just hyped for DD2 on PS5 pro.

Yeah, I'm glad console bros will finally be able to enjoy it at 60 fps. Game's also quite a looker at times.

 

[simpatico]

So he's lying about playing it at 8K?

It plays 8k in the same sense that the OG PS4 played 4K. Maybe even less so.

PC struggles with 4K/60 across the board too.
Maybe the two just aren’t that comparable as some thought.

 

[GoldenEye98]

8K with PSSR upscaling.

Fair enough but given most people don't even have 8K displays it will be downsampled for 4K. Hopefully that's an automatic thing.

 

[Gaiff]

So you think this will outperform a 4090?

 

[bitbydeath]

So you think this will outperform a 4090?

Is it?

 

[Gaiff]

Is it?

What do you mean, is it? I asked you if you think the PS5 Pro will outperform a 4090.

 

[TrebleShot]

So you think this will outperform a 4090?

4K60? 4090 is struggling too.

 

[bitbydeath]

What do you mean, is it? I asked you if you think the PS5 Pro will outperform a 4090.

Some here are saying it can’t do what the PS5 Pro can do, take that for what you will.

Who said that?

 

[Anchovie123]

GT7 on OG PS5 runs at native 4k60. I could see a slight increase in resolution from the Pro + PSSR being pretty effective to get a decent 8k output.

 

[DeepSpace5D]

Dragon’s Dogma II PS5 Pro mode. I might be in just for that.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Lol not just at playing at 8K, but also at being able to notice the difference. Also, upscaled from what, 720p?

I'd advise to not believe the marketing bullshit and wait for actual benchmarks.

 

[Jaybe]

Curious the improvements this will make to uncapped frame rate modes for those with 120hz VRR displays. I liked playing my base PS5 in that mode when the game would support it while I had it.

 

[bitbydeath]

Who said that?

Fahdis was the first to mention it, read up.

 

[Kacho]

Is it?

 

[HL3.exe]

Let me re-quote this for you.

Thanks for the marketing drivel.

Hope ya know that in the real world not even 4k is worth running natively because of the hardware strain it brings (even on 4090's, let alone a mass produced console GPU), and anything above 1440p being hardly noticable when in a real living room setting distance. Everything is using deep learning upscalers to get performance up from 1440 or lower native res to get 4k up to performance, let alone 8k

 

[RodriGames40]

What does it even take to upscale with DLSS to 8K in PC, whatever it takes? Just to have a good measurement in my mind.

 

[Gaiff]

Fahdis was the first to mention it, read up.

Because he obviously sussed out the marketing bullshit that you evidently didn't.

 

[Judge Magister]

8K? Oh i see, €100 per K...

 

[bitbydeath]

Because he obviously sussed out the marketing bullshit that you evidently didn't.

5 stages of grief hey, well played sir.

You heard it first folks, the Pro will outperform the RTX 4090.

 

[RoboFu]

You heard it first folks, the Pro will outperform the RTX 4090.

its SSD magic! I mean AI magic!!

 

[Woody337]

How is Astro not on there???? It would benefit BIG time with ray tracing instead of cube maps.
