Going to be interesting how they advertise this, show games in 8K and disappoint the 4K owners when the games drop, show off both resolutions, or show only 4K to avoid negative feedback from those without 8K sets.33.5 Tf holy shit. Sony ain't fuckin around
$599 incoming
Take my money
No, but it did allow for PS4 Pro to look pretty good on 4K screens. The AI upscaling is something PC had since 2018, its good that consoles are getting it now though.
I'm glad the RT is better too since Sony will probably put more RT effects in games that I will wait for the PC release for...
Lets see how Dragon's Dogma 2 turns out on PS5 Pro...
PS4 Pro and X1X weren't new gens either, yet they offered a massive uplift over the base machines.
Basic RT for 2020 consoles was abysmal, PS5 was losing to the lowly RTX 2060, a card that held the title once of being the slowest hardware RT PC GPU, it wasn't until AMD released hardware RT on PC where RT got slower...
2-4x upgrade is great, I look forward to Sony exclusives taking advantage of it, and then I will take advantage of those RT features at a later date on PC.
I look forward to the DF comparisons.Those numbers are rather meaningless because we are not even sure what's being compared. For example, if you look at Death Stranding a simple 45% increase means it would outperform the 4070. Its all speculation until we have actual like for like comparisons.
People who care about performance will look to the DF videos. I doubt Sony will do much advertising for a console that could sell less than 15 million units.Going to be interesting how they advertise this, show games in 8K and disappoint the 4K owners when the games drop, show off both resolutions, or show only 4K to avoid negative feedback from those without 8K sets.
Because that's where the features the PS5 Pro has first existed, when it launches, 6 years ago...Why are you comparing console parts to PCs?
despite the criticism of the leaker and the leaked specs

Its a great comparison, and it will be even greater when DF compares the PSSSR to DLSS and the PS5 Pro GPU to GPUs up to 4 years old.Not to the same degree of power, quality, or price….
A stupid comparison
It also made more sense last generation with 4k televisions blowing up. What are people going to do? Go back and play those dynamic res games? lol
I agree with you, but really you can go back to 360 for the blueprint on how most games play today.Whats even the point, there are basically no games that actually feel nextgen. Every game for last 4 years just feels like PS4 upgrade.. Hell even 6 years old RDR2 feels more next gen than today's games

Salman Khan is Phil Spencer in this case.Does that make Salman Khan the Series S?
That leonidas is not interested in pro or console gaming at all, hes a PCMR, just take a look at his post history.4 years ago and not much has changed. Comparing $500-600 consoles to $2000 PC parts is just stupid and that’s what you’re doing
You’re not the target market. This isn’t intended to be a $3000 console
It’s intended to run PS5 games at quality settings and 60 fps, with better RT and IQ at an affordable price
I have a PS5 and I will likely end up getting a PS5 Pro at some point too.You’re not to target market. This isn’t intended to be a $3000 console
Yeah, which is perhaps not ideal depending on what they have done for RDNA3 and RDNA4 (this is a custom design with features from both) to less the impact of lots of DCUs per Shader Array.Probably not,the rumor is the Pro uses 2 shader engines,Navi 32 uses 3 SEs with 5 work group processors each if I got the number of WGPs right. The Pro's GPU is similar to the Series X in terms of setup.
What does “next gen” feel like. I think we are chasing our own shadows at this point.Whats even the point, there are basically no games that actually feel nextgen. Every game for last 4 years just feels like PS4 upgrade.. Hell even 6 years old RDR2 feels more next gen than today's games
My PS5 and Xbox Series X are right behind my monitor, not far from my gaming PC...That leonidas is not interested in pro or console gaming at all, hes a PCMR, just take a look at his post history.

I just won't buy any PS5 software for it, I wait for those to come to PC. I use my PS5 for backwards compatibility and am hoping that PS5 Pro enhances my BC games in some way...
I still think that the CPU clock speed is being undersold. The Zen 2 CPU is not a crippled unit and clock speed bump might be decent for all we know to sort out many of the real CPU stalls console games may have experienced.I think a lot of people will ignore comments like this. If the CPU is still Zen 2 (which it was always going to be) then resolution will be bumped and FPS might be more stable in some cases, but 30fps games will still be 30fps for the most part.

I personally look for more 40 FPS modes at high resolution with seriously pumped up graphics, but 60 FPS versions with better than old Quality presets might be nice.How many games aren’t already 60FPS though?
1-5?
even if PRO doesn't improve fidelity, at least the stable 60fps is welcome for everyone. People can always pay little extra for those juicy 60fps.
i am keeping my expectations low. I got burned by ps pro last gen.It will improve fidelity. Quality mode gets more fidelity. Performance mode gets more fidelity.
Both modes get better results with less resolution thanks to AI up scaling
Should be great for everyone, quality mode closer to true native 4k, and perf mode looking like ps5’s quality mode
45% is probably effective raster performance improvements estimate, but not sure what they are counting there.In teraflops this is 1.67x of PS5 while pro was 2.33x of PS4. I don't know where they get that 45% when terflop numbers say something completely different.
given the economic conditions I doubt any price reduction is possible. PRO may well go for 650-700 bucks keeping ps5 at 500-400(digital) dollar mark.If this makes standard disc edition PS5 drop down to $400 then I'm all for it
That's impossible. It will never go above $500 because it wouldn't sell. Maybe next gen with PS6 Sony can charge $600 due to inflation but not now. Ps5 owners wouldn't upgrade to Pro and new potential buyers wouldn't pay more than $500given the economic conditions I doubt any price reduction is possible. PRO may well go for 650-700 bucks keeping ps5 at 500-400(digital) dollar mark.
I play on too big screen and it’s apparent.Weird, looks good on my screen. People love DriveClub (me too) but that game was jaggy as fuck a lot of the time, I don't really see that with GT7.
Yeah 120Hz is 1440p.
On one hand, well, we discussed that brute force HW progress based on traditional Moore’s Law progress (manufacturing process improvements leading to denser chips with more and more logic) was slowing down more and more with each console generation . Especially in a Pro design.Its a sizeable jump in ray tracing and machine learning hardware. But 1.45x increase in standard rasterization is NOT a sizeable jump when you compare PS4 Pro which was around 2.23x over PS4 Pro and Xbox One X which was 4x over the Xbox One
Fixed that for you.
I meant in terms of the game trailers. Once PS4 Pro arrived they showed that version of the game.People who care about performance will look to the DF videos. I doubt Sony will do much advertising for a console that could sell less than 15 million units.
Yeah... that's the thing. But, this console seems like it will be this super efficient Beast, when it drops. For those of Us, that invested in PC gaming and decided not to look back, I don't see this as an L. We're eating with PS console users.There's literally zero games out right now or coming in the near future I would consider buying a PS5 Pro for.
It wouldn't sell? People pay £1500 for graphics cards. Of course it will sell.No

GTA6 ?There's literally zero games out right now or coming in the near future I would consider buying a PS5 Pro for.
You will not see a PS6 before Nov 2027-2028. Furthermore, once PS6 will be available, there will be so many crossgen games for other 2-3 years, so, again, a PS5 PRO is very welcome as the base model can only handle fidelity at 30fps with average ray tracing.Why not just release it as ps6 instead? Wow.. $600 for 2 years of pro before ps6?
Not a console, it would not sell in good numbers and it would generate awful publicity. Let alone make selling PS6 a mess. No, thanks .It wouldn't sell? People pay £1500 for graphics cards. Of course it will sell.
People who buy $1500 graphics cards and people who buy consoles are not the same market. A lot of console buyers are parents buying for their kids and they won't be spending more than $500.It wouldn't sell? People pay £1500 for graphics cards. Of course it will sell.
