zen 2 truly is awful its by a landslide the worst aspect of the consoleI played that game with a 2070S and a 3700X, and I had significantly better performance on that area. At over 70 fps.
DF's machine, has a memory latency of 90ns. Which is insanely high for a Zen2 CPU. And it really hurst performance.
i dont think so i feel so as gaiff said. fortnite though does perform similarly with the 2 setups if the 2080ti has the same cpu as the ps5 onePS5 outperforming the 2080 Ti by 50%? I don't think so.
There is one game: The Last of Us Part I.
thats not performing like a 3090...70-80fps to 120 is a 50% increase using 80fps as the baseline. This never happens.
"I don't need DF." You sure as shit do because your magic PS5 is performing almost like a 3090 and we're all dying to see it in action.
Fornite on the consoles uses dynamic resolution with TSR with a 4K target and the range is 864p-1836p. The average according to epic is 55% of 4K or 1188p. DF's analysis said it's comparable to High settings on PC. That's in the 60fps mode. The 120fps mode also gets rid of software virtual shadow maps, Lumen and Nanite.
I can't find something similar for the 2080 Ti because it's too old, but here is a 4060 running it at 1080p/High/Nanite and Lumen off and no dynamic resolution. He gets 200fps+.
Shortly after, he also runs it at 1440p with the same settings and gets over 130fps.
No way does a 2080 Ti with 120fps mode PS5 settings and resolution gets a paltry 70-80fps..
his discussions arent fair at all if your familiar with him & prepare to be lambast if you oppose himI think adds to the discussion and it can be informative but some posters use the pc comparison to belittle pro not saying you I think your always fair when comes to console and pc chat
here are a couple (im not going to go into the egregious problems i have with alex & his methodology) (im aware this vid is ultra settings but its the first one i can find that isnt using a stacked out cpu compared to the ps5 one) heres another one although i dont like the cpu for comparison here are nx gamers results pre & post patch i wont list a timestamp to avoid cherry picking scenes like i critcize a lot of people for doing so you can compareIt performs slightly faster then a 2070 Super, roughly around what a 2080 would do. At no point does the performance match a 2080ti. And yes, the source is Digital Foundry, unless you have data that indicates otherwise?
According to the leaked specs, the 4070 will be more powerful then the pro. You are free to believe the specs are fake, but then discussion around what GPU is equal to the pro is pointless. It also comes off as hopium considering the number of different sources we have for the leak.
im not the one calling people trolls when i disagree with them. I wasnt present here for months cause of life circumstances but i felt it was important to come back briefly because of the topic at handDon’t bother. This guy has been told repeatedly to multi-quote, but he ignores it. He also claims the Pro will be on average on the level of a 4070 Ti and 4080 in exclusives. He comes back every few months in those threads to say nonsense and post 3-6 times in a row. Probably a troll.
no one taught me i started using gaf in 2022 so its been a process getting used to all the features.His lack of ability to multi-quote really bothers me, I've had him on mute for a few months now.
There are two ways to go on about that. You can either hit reply to a post. The quoted post will appear in at the bottom where you can reply. You can add as many posts as you want there and reply to all of them separately in the same post.no one taught me i started using gaf in 2022 so its been a process getting used to all the features.

Best to just ignore him.As for the CPU? For AC Valhalla specifically it really doesn’t matter, even the ancient Zen 1 1800 can clear 60fps with ease in this game.

If it's bundled, it does support physical media out of the box.But how does that fix their credibility that Sony's own idea of the best of PlayStation consoles (a 'Pro') is a model with no means of using physical media by default out of the box? and has similar vibes of controlling consumers in a negative way just the same as the Xbox One online requirement did and the XSS does, and projects the PS6 will look to kill physical media at launch.
Mr.Phoenix thinks this is about price, it isn't about that at all, because a £900 PS5 Pro with a drive by default and as the default model doesn't have that problem at all.
We as a community have to stop this disparaging tone towards others in discourse even if we dont like a response. this idea to ignore someones post & label you a troll because you have assertions is so asinine to clarify every statement ive had about this topic my price, spec, & performance claims do diverge from most here but its not because im trolling its because of what ive seen & can envision if sony was willing to actually push (which they avoided with the ps5 & really the ps4). my 699 price point for example wasnt in relation to the leaked specs (they absolutely wouldnt justify that) i already said i have various qualms with the leaked specs like the cu count, clock speed, & the rasterization improvement my 699 price point was always in relation to an rdna 4 chip (closely based between the 8700xt & 8800xt with a mid range zen 5 chip like an 8700x & i dont care if im called a troll at this point there is no way a 4080 (unless you pull an alex and give it a cpu 3x the power) would outperform these specs in games like last of us (we have seen how that game runs on pc) if anything i find it insane to think the contrary, being faceitious about someone helps no one even if you disagree for reference if the leaked specs were true yes it would be quite a stretch to say it would perform like a 4080 even in those games but i dont believe at least half of the leaked specs & it sounds like gaiff is implying my theoretical specs would still get outperformed by a 4080 which if I am honest sounds preposterous
I can totally see Sony dropping the base console prices and pricing the Pro at $599-$649 max with disc. There is no way they are losing money on these consoles. XSX is $50 off right now at Target.
That isn't true. You have been taught multiple times. But just like you do when it comes to your technical discussions, you have somehow managed to keep ignoring them. I mean just look at this page, there has to be a rule about a poster making 9 of the first 11 posts on any page.no one taught me i started using gaf in 2022 so its been a process getting used to all the features.
The reason people are advised to ignore you... is not because of your different opinions, its because you do not listen. Even when your opinions have been thoroughly addressed, even in light of overwhelming evidence and explanations... you would just keep spouting the same rhetoric as if you exist in a vacuum. Over, and over, and over again.We as a community have to stop this disparaging tone towards others in discourse even if we dont like a response. this idea to ignore someones post & label you a troll because you have assertions is so asinine to clarify every statement ive had about this topic my price, spec, & performance claims do diverge from most here but its not because im trolling its because of what ive seen & can envision if sony was willing to actually push (which they avoided with the ps5 & really the ps4). my 699 price point for example wasnt in relation to the leaked specs (they absolutely wouldnt justify that) i already said i have various qualms with the leaked specs like the cu count, clock speed, & the rasterization improvement my 699 price point was always in relation to an rdna 4 chip (closely based between the 8700xt & 8800xt with a mid range zen 5 chip like an 8700x & i dont care if im called a troll at this point there is no way a 4080 (unless you pull an alex and give it a cpu 3x the power) would outperform these specs in games like last of us (we have seen how that game runs on pc) if anything i find it insane to think the contrary, being faceitious about someone helps no one even if you disagree for reference if the leaked specs were true yes it would be quite a stretch to say it would perform like a 4080 even in those games but i dont believe at least half of the leaked specs & it sounds like gaiff is implying my theoretical specs would still get outperformed by a 4080 which if I am honest sounds preposterous
He has been thought this exact thing before.There are two ways to go on about that. You can either hit reply to a post. The quoted post will appear in at the bottom where you can reply. You can add as many posts as you want there and reply to all of them separately in the same post.
The second way is to click the +quote button under every post you want to reply to. This will memorize them. Then, in the small box at the bottom where you reply, you click "Insert Quotes", this will paste all the posts you multi-quoted and you will be able to reply to all of them individually within one post.
That’s it. You do that and stop posting 10 times in a row.
Exactly.If it's bundled, it does support physical media out of the box.
I must insist, that this is a non-issue if they do that.
Even if they don't, it still makes sense. People who want a cheaper Pro can just not buy the addon, the rest can pretend it's part of the full price, which it in actual fact - is.
It isn't whether it supports physical, of course it will, it is about what it means for the PS6 future for someone maybe dropping £54 on a physical copy of Astrobot, today and already thinking that the PS6 in 3-4 years won't support physical for the full generation.If it's bundled, it does support physical media out of the box.

I don't get why people keep saying this without adding in the context. Then again, I take it that if they added that in... or they knew it... then they wouldn't need to say it.As much as I want you to be right, didn't Sony just announce a PS5 price increase in Japan last week?
I understand your concern. And I would be lying if I said I could say anything reassuring. But the fact of the matter is that Sony can make a PS6 that breaks BC partially simply by not shipping it with a disc drive, or even making a disc drive attachment for it.It isn't whether it supports physical, of course it will, it is about what it means for the PS6 future for someone maybe dropping £54 on a physical copy of Astrobot, today and already thinking that the PS6 in 3-4 years won't support physical for the full generation.
now this part... I believe I said in another post... that now is the time, during this transitional phase, that the rules should be set in stone. Its now we should be pushing this agenda. Ensuring that there is a way for us to copy whatever we have on our SSDs, either to an external drive or just plug in an off the shelf BR drive and RIP it.We've already been down this digital road will film and partially with music, and I'm sure Sony has the numbers to know how many gaming consumers like me - that no longer buy or even rent films - they will lose when there is no good optical ownership option because there's no legal mechanism and DRM free solution to freely rip that media and use it digitally like we can with Music.
I don't get why people keep saying this without adding in the context. Then again, I take it that if they added that in... or they knew it... then they wouldn't need to say it.
Here is the context.
In 2020... at the time of the PS5 launch, for $1, you spent Y109. For more perspective, the PS5 launched in Japan for what was the equivalent of $480.
In 2024, $1 is now Y160. This means that if they keep prices the same, they are selling the PS5 in Japan for around $350.
See the problem, this is not a price hike per se... its a readjustment to get it back to what it is supposed to be. More or less.
Well I understand where you are coming from. However, If you think about it, the opposite is not just likely and smart... its also necessary.You are absolutely right. My point was I just don't see Sony announcing a base PS5 price "correction" (due to inflation) a week or so before announcing a price adjustment that lowers the cost of the base ps5 for the sake of a $600-650 Pro. Again, I'd love to be wrong here.
What? Crazy talk. It's the best part and is why the vast majority of games (and ALL Sony exclusives) run at 60fps.zen 2 truly is awful its by a landslide the worst aspect of the console
Technical and Vocational Teachers' Training Programme in Adult Ecudationwhat did you study?
I thought this one was already out?Also the Pro will probably come with a revamped Dualsense controller with 12hr battery which was accidentally leaked by Best Buy Canada a little while back.
With the exception to the HBM stuff, the PS6 will likely look like that. Everything AMD has been doing basically is saying that is the most efficient way to build the PS6. They would likely forgo HBM, use 24GB of GDDR7 and probably go with 48-64MB of infinity cache.Technical and Vocational Teachers' Training Programme in Adult Ecudation

This is how i developed the mindset of thinking about different possibilities because when you enter a classroom to teach, you have to be prepared.
Not all students are the same, you encounter different personalities, levels of understanding and everything doesn't go as planned.
So when it came to the PS5 Pro, i kept an open mind on what could happen, but now it's clear what to expect (specs, cost, release date, design, etc.).
Including what I'd like to see for the PS6, which would probably be far from this.

No. It was leaked and then pulled. Still V1 on the shelves.I thought this one was already out?
Well I understand where you are coming from. However, If you think about it, the opposite is not just likely and smart... its also necessary.
What happens if a PS5 price drop has been on the cards all year? What of if Sony knew that when they introduced the pro, they would also be doing a $50 price drop across the board for the base PS5. Across all regions?
Wouldn't that necessitate the price adjustment in Japan beforehand? Or else they did be selling it in Japan for $300!!!!!! when everywhere else its around $400.
My way of looking at it, is that price readjustment in Japan is the first step to take to dropping the PS5 price globally, and not a sign that says the price of the PS5 will be going up globally.
PS6 won't be RDNA anymore, not 12 CPU cores (developers still can't properly multithread with 8 cores) and certainly not 48MB of L3 ram. LOL. That stuff is too expensive in die size.Technical and Vocational Teachers' Training Programme in Adult Ecudation

Why are you still talking about the I/O Unit when it's about CPU accessing Data on the GDDR6 memory.
The I/O Unit is only responsible for data coming off of the SSD and going to the GDDR6 memory.
In the case of bandwidth vs latency.
Bandwidth is the amount of data you can send and receive in one second. Latency is the amount of time used by data to reach its destination and come back.
In the case of the CPU, the time used to access data in GDDR6 hurts CPU performance, whereas adding more CPU cache can improve fps.
What's so hard about that for you to understand?
Just saw the other thread if Sony are announcing multiple first party games at the end of the month why not call this a showcase instead of a state of play? maybe they will we'll seeLooking forward to the next couple of weeks however I think it's a bit of a missed opportunity from sony not having a playstation showcase showing the pro with with three of four first party studio announcements would have been great way to build up hype for maybe the rest of this generation
Yen is very weak compared to the USD, basically they are now paying the USD equivalent price, they were a fair bit cheaper than USA previously.As much as I want you to be right, didn't Sony just announce a PS5 price increase in Japan last week?
That's what I figured. This kid just posted 8 times in a row. Come on man.He has been thought this exact thing before.
I don’t know . I didn’t see much difference if any from the trailer of DS2 and DS I played ( only first few levels I don’t know why I dropped it )Kojima is notorious for pushing graphical fidelity in his titles - at the very least DS2 will be a showcase title for the Pro.
Good chance we'll see the TGS DS2 showcase running on the Pro
I doubt HBM would ever make it to consoles or even GPUs again. GDDR7 is almost upon us and when the PS6 launches you would be able to do 1.1 TB/s on a 256bit bus.PS6 won't be RDNA anymore, not 12 CPU cores (developers still can't properly multithread with 8 cores) and certainly not 48MB of L3 ram.

Well I wasn't even thinking about that, mostly because the design of the PS6 will be completely different stylistically to the PS5 to maximise marketing product mind share of being a new product - like the opposite of Wii to WiiU.Right, I guess you're assuming the PS6 won't support a PS5 slim type bluray addon.
I believe it will, so that's why I don't see this as a problem.
Obviously I would prefer if this was a certainty, so I see where you're coming from.
