Typed the title wrong, it's actually 1440p at 60 FPS

Via lunaticus Ignus (Chinese insider and journalist):

I saw a lot of people worried about Black Myth: Wukong running bad on PS5.I can confirm that the PS5 version is very optimised.. the devkits were also at Gamescom and Hanghzou.​

1440p/60FPS​

2160p/30FPS​

​

 

[saintjules]

First.

Oh wait, wrong place.

 

[Robot Carnival]

might want to contact a mod to fix that typo in the title. but yeah, good that it's optimized.

 

[Cert.in.Death]

Just in time to market a Pro model

Already did

 

[Gonzito]

Not bad, the game is not open world right?

 

[skit_data]

I'm really interested to see how it reviews. It's one of the games that gave a first proper glimpse of next gen and UE5 back before the consoles launched. Might go on to be a big hit if it plays good.

Edit: Wierd, seems they actually switched from UE4 to UE5 in 2021, after the consoles launched. I really thought it was a UE5 title all along.

 

[Gaiff]

Nay, and thank god.

 

[TheRedRiders]

Really curious to see how the Trinity version runs.

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

This is running on Unreal Engine 5, right? If so, then damn. Even if the 1440p 60fps is not the base rendering resolution and it's upscaled using TSR, the image quality should be good.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

Delicious 60FPS

 

[Mibu no ookami]

If it can run at 60 fps on the base PS5, we can probably expect 4K60 with effects on PS5 Pro... Will probably be a PS5 Pro highlight for the year.

 

[Senua]

You'll have to be nuts to play this at 30

 

[tommib]

Not bad. Hope they have an unlocked option for quality mode to see how the Pro handles it.

 

[Xtib81]

What's the base resolution though ? Because Fsr2 is trash, let's not forget it.

 

[tommib]

Let’s hope it’s native 1440p like Stellar Blade and Demon’s Souls. I’m very done with FSR2 trash on consoles as well.

The best upscalling I’ve seen this gen is from Returnal with a 1080p base res. Whatever they did there needed up giving a pretty clear image.

 

[Solarstrike]

Godammnt fukcing shit man. I wanted to spank my monkey 4k 60faps per sec

 

[Ferdimage]

Demo incoming?

Pro doesn't have 2x more raw power. More like 1440p with PSSR and few higher quality settings.

Those resolutions are probably dynamic so expect drops to 1080p or below. It's UE5...

 

[Mibu no ookami]

re-read everything again buddy

 

[Bojji]

4k 60 requires 2x more power than 1440p 60 (or 4k 30 obviously).

 

[Skifi28]

Looking forward to all the "runs smoothly on the steam deck at 30" comments.

 

[Little Mac]

1440p60 is nice to hear. Game is out in two weeks. Is this going to be a banger, gaf? Haven’t seen the previews.

 

[R6Rider]

Delicious. 60fps is the way.

 

[adamsapple]

50FPS on PS5​

Pal is back, baby!

 

[Mibu no ookami]

4k 60 requires 2x more power than 1440p 60 (or 4k 30 obviously).

With PSSR it doesn't have to have double the power in order to get to 4K.

The base model does 1440 at 60, so the idea that the Ps5 Pro would only do the same with effects is farfetched. I've saved your post so we can revisit this pretty shortly.

 

[tommib]

Fucking hilarious.

So true, baby. All these frame rate nerds gladly play their games at 30 fps on Steam Deck. “Stable 30 fps on Elden Ring and 720p, so enjoyable”/“OMG how can anyone play this on a console at 59 fps!”

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

someone said review codes are being sent?

 

[Knightime_X]

1440p 60 it is then.
1440p looks amazing even on a 4k monitor

 

[ChiefDada]

4k 60 requires 2x more power than 1440p 60 (or 4k 30 obviously).

No it doesn't. Entirely dependent on what the bottleneck is for pixel throughput.

As an example, consider the recent NMS performance/resolution profile leak between base ps5 at 1296p minimum vs 1728p minimum for the Pro .

 

[Kuranghi]

Must be with upscaling from a lower native res, I know its a linear and "narrow" game but just sounds unlikely to me it would native. I love TSR compared to FSR though so no complaints from me.

No problem with that.

Pro is ~50% more powerful and PSSR is just another form of upscaling/reconstruction. Base version will be 1440p/60 with TSR or FSR2, PSSR has the same cost as FSR2 so getting to naive 4K with PSSR will require 100% more power (but at this point it will become just anti aliasing like DLAA).

I get that you were talking about "4K" (with PSSR) but that's exactly the same thing as I was talking about in my first post and completely not comparable to native 4K resolution when it comes to performance cost (it may be close in quality, like DLSS).

It's oversimplified of course but that's exactly what Cerny said about 4K and base PS4 games:

Incidentally, he mentioned that his personal estimate is that rendering at native 4K across the board would require a minimum of 8 teraFLOPS of computing power, and thats not something that can be achieved at a reasonable price this year. That said, users will be able to discern the difference between games on PS4 and the improved versions on PS4 pro at a glance.

Mark Cerny thinks 8TF is the minimum for native 4K gaming

1080p x4 = 4K

~2TF x4 = 8TF

PS4 Pro was more than 2x more powerful than PS4 but it was bottlenecked by memory speed and memory amount (for bigger framebuffer).

 

[Salz01]

That’s pretty good. Hope they release a demo.

 

[Zathalus]

I would assume DRS or upscaling (or even both) is in use to reach those resolutions.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

Make physical editions.

 

[DenchDeckard]

2160P*
1440P*

I love how developers use resolutions now.

It will be more like 900P / 720P I bet.

 

[Fbh]

Real 1440p?
Or the horrible "upscaled from 720p with horrible IQ and tons of artifacting" 1440p we are seeing increasingly more of ?

I don’t know what magic Demon’s Souls remake was able to pull out running at native 1440p and 60 fps and looking like a proper next gen game. Why are we going backwards from that?

 

[mckmas8808]

This might be day one for me....

 

[Aenima]

Thats really surprising in a good way if true. I was expecting 30fps on consoles even at 1080p.

DeS looks amazing but it's has only "dx11 era" graphics techniques. Add Lumen, Nanite and Virtual Shadow Maps and you have 720p with unstable 60FPS.

 

[Aenima]

I think it was already confirmed that there will be physical editions, but not at launch.

 

[TheRedRiders]

The fact that it looks that good without those technologies is a testimony to the developers and hardware. The geometric density, texture resolution and lighting quality are all very high.

 

[Gaiff]

It's UE5, so of course, it uses upscaling. Have you guys seen how horribly UE5 games tend to run on all platforms? There's also the fact that a lot of the underlying technologies they use scale directly with resolution. As a result, using upscaling in UE5 games has a disproportional impact on performance. See Lords of the Fallen and Remnants 2.

 

[SlimySnake]

Doubt. its probably upscaled using TSR or FSR.

 

[Bojji]

The fact that it looks that good without those technologies is a testimony to the developers and hardware. The geometric density, texture resolution and lighting quality are all very high.

Completly agree, it looks better than most games today. Many techniques are very expensive but they don't provide significantly better end results.

Demon's Souls is using less advanced techniques than Immortals of Aveum (for example, it could be Lords of the Fallen for closer comparison) but it looks significantly better on TV with that 1440p internal resolution and mix of high quality textures/models and great art.

 

[MikeM]

Fucking hilarious.

I wonder if screen size helps mitigate the motion blur/judder.

 

[Yoshichan]

yo nice

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

I plan to wait on this game due to my backlog and games I'm playing . . . but I probably only have a few months to laugh at certain people about it being timed console exclusive . . . . decisions, decisions.

 

[Gaiff]

Very different expectations, which is sensible, no? The Doom Switch port was widely considered a success despite running at 30 fps. I think that given the specs of the Deck and the fact that it has a tiny screen, the standards being much lower makes perfect sense.
