The specs for Sony’s successor to the PlayStation brand, the PS4 will feature parts from AMD. Advanced Micro Devices are supplying both the GPU (graphics processing unit) and the CPU for the new system.
This article gives some insight on why certain things are as they are, what to expect and how it all works.
AMD has long been the best value option if you're looking for a new GPU. Now even their latest Radeon RX 7000 series is getting cheaper.
Last September, we unleashed AMD FidelityFX™ Super Resolution 3 (FSR 3)1 on the gaming world, delivering massive FPS improvements in supported games.
So to put 2 and 2 together... FSR 3.1 is releasing later this year and the launch game to support it is Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart. In Sony's DevNet documentation it shows Rachet and Clank: Rift Apart as the example for PSSR. PS5 Pro also launches later this year... but there is something else coming too: AMD RDNA 4 Cards (The very same technology thats in the Pro). So, PSSR is either FSR 3.1 or its a direct collaboration with AMD for that builds on FSR 3.1. Somehow they are related. I think PSSR is FSR 3.1 with the bonus of AI... now lets see if RDNA 4 cards also include an AI block.
More details:
FSR 3.1 fixes Frame Generation
If you have a 30 series RTX card you can now use DLSS3 with FSR Frame Generation (No 40 Series required!)
Its Available on all Cards (we assume it will come to console)
Fixes Temporal stability
I wonder how much they fixed the ghosting in dark areas as Nvidia are leaving them in the dust with image quality. Still good that they are improving in big leaps, I'll have to see when the RTX5000 series is released who I go with... at the moment the RTX5000's are sounding like monsters.
Now that the RTX 4070 Super has launched, AMD have chopped the price of the RX 7900 XT to new lows.
PS4's Liverpool GPU is confirmed to have 512KB L2 Cache and has 1.848TFLOPS performance. Also, the PS4's CU's are unified for both graphics and GP compute.
Well even though the desktop version seems only slightly better, it means that the console will be easier to push to their limit which means better quality games
Can someone explain to me how the next xbox's "move engines" work and how that will change the performance of the console?
PS4! PS4! PS4!
I think it's great that redgamingtech.com knows what's in the Xbox 720 when no one else does.
