PS5 Pro Adds Image Quality Boost for PS4 Games, Supports 8K Output

The PS5 Pro has started arriving early and some users have already gained access, revealing new details about the console's features.

[Sonic1881]

I believe that the Xbox series X does the same thing to Xbone games as well. It's a dope feature to have when you play your old games

[BeHunted]

Completely different. Xbox Series unlocks framerates from 30fps to 60fps for specific games.

Also turns out that Ps5 Pro GPU is only 16.7tflops and not 33tflops like some would believe... That's 6.4tflops more than Base Ps5 GPU

Boy did sony take their customers to the cleaners. i got voted to hell saying this weeks before.

[andy85]

Anyone who knows anything about hardware has known this for awhile. It's \~33TFlops of compute on RDNA3 architecture but in reality that number gets halved because dual-issue on it is virtually non-existent which is what AMD bases the inflated TFlop values off of.

In terms of actual spec the Pro GPU is basically a 7700XT with a better upscaler option. You can't really compare TFlops between different architectures

[Hereandthere]

Going by your coping logic, series x is 25tf's and series s is 8 tf's.

[andy85]

Why would I need to cope? I doubt you have both a PS5 and Gamepass like I do, I deal in facts. The fact you're saying that means the Series X is 25TF shows you have no idea what youre talking about as the Series X is RDNA2, that's why it isn't. The Pro is above a 7700XT which is 35TF. So that emphasises my point that a TF number is not the full story

[TheKingKratos]

Not everyone though because there is people here who goes everywhere here telling people it's 33tflops because the leaks... When in reality it isn't

[ABizzel1]

@Hereandthere

No because RDNA 2 does not work in unison on the CU, they work in parallel which is why the TFLOPS are what they are. However, if they did work in unison like RDNA 3 or newer, than yes that’s exactly what the TFLOPS would be rated for the Series X and Series S.

Series X: 24.3 TFLOPS
PS5: 20.56 TFLOPS
Series S: 8.012 TFLOPS

It’s not cope, it’s being educated.

@TheKingKratos

Because it is, and I’m not attacking anyone when I say this, but the problem is you nor the people spreading that are educated on GPUs. You guys are only being told numbers and just comparing it RDNA 3 and above have their Floating Point calculations and Integer Math on the CU unlike older GPUs and that’s where the higher number is coming from, but if you truly had to compare apples to apples as much as possible, then the 16.7 TFLOPS is the better way to do it.

Mark Cerny already stated the PS5 Pro has 67% more CUs and renders 45% times faster, not 3x faster as the 33.4 TFLOPS would have indicated (again which is why you don’t use TFLOPS but real world performance to compare GPUs). 3x the performance would have placed the PS5 Pro between the RX 7900 XTX and the RTX 4090 $1000 - $1600 (now $2000 GPUs RTX 4090) which just isn’t realistic.

[PRIMORDUS]

16.7 TFLOPS? That's not even close to the 7700 XT's TFLOPS. Hmmm, I know TFLOPS don't really matter but maybe the custom GPU in the Pro is about a 7700 XT - 7800 XT level on PC, that or everyone was wrong lol.

[ABizzel1]

That’s because they’re calculating Floating Point only, and not Floating Point + Integer Math like the RX 7000 series does which doubles the GPUs TFLOPS.

That’s where the 33.4 TFLOPS number comes from which places in line RX 7700XT and RTX 4070.

[mkis007]

We already understood it was 16.7 with the 33 number being for certain tasks...this "discovery" is a nothingburger.

[xenz]

People are still caring about teraflops?

[ABizzel1]

What’s 16.7 * 2…….33.4

AMD and NVIDIA are both using dual precision for the CUs in their GPUs and splitting Floating Point and Integer Math/Floating Point hence where the 33.4 TFLOPS comes from. This is exactly why the TFLOPs of the NVIDIA RTX 2000 series to the RTX 3000 series doubled in TFLOPS, and the same thing with AMDs RX 6000 series to the RX 7000 series. Sony clearly decided to focus only on Floating Point when calculating their TFLOPS for the PS5 Pro and not include Integer Math and that’s why PS5 Pro is rated at 16.7 TFLOPs on the box. However, both 16.7TF and 33.4TF are true.

This has nothing to do with Sony, and everything to do with how NVIDIA and AMD rate their GPUs TFLOPS. Sony just used Floating Point only when calculating their PS5 Pros GPU. Honestly, this is why some of you need to just stay out of these kind of conversations.

Not to mention TFLOPS is not the idea measure of a GPUs performance let alone a consoles performance with all the customizations they have (hence PS5 vs Series X). But using TFLOPS for this threads sake.

At 16.7TFLOPS, that means the PS5 Pro in theory is actually +62% more powerful than the base PS5, even prior to PSSR, which means the PS5 Pro is in line with the RTX 4070 in rasterization……..a $600 GPU…..and places the PS5 Pro alongside the RTX 4070 within the top 20 most powerful GPUs available on the market today in terms of rasterization.

Oh yeah, 5 more days to go.

[jjb1981]

The proof is in the pudding. We need concrete evidence. I hate the whole "8K" narrative. 8K isn't even common yet. It's not the standard. I've still yet to see 4K Native, 60fps, for any games, all the time on any console. This war is such a snoozefest. PC is where it's at if you want to hit those numbers, right now.

[andy85]

You never will see native 4K on console become common now with upscaling becoming so good. Such a huge waste of resources. Much better to focus on more details than push a resolution which is barely imperceptible than to using a lower one with DLSS or PSSR doing the work. Results in a much better looking image

[Demetrius]

Gaming consoles have came so far mane, I was playing the last of us 1 remake and my momz was like dang, games trip me put nowadays with how real they be acting, don't be knowing if it's a movie or not sometimes 🤣 I'm like yep. I know games have been scarce lately but ya can't lie gameplay and controls have gotten so much better too, theres still some gems here n there, 2025 looks to be on point like a mf hopefully

[Hereandthere]

I play fight night champion in 4k on my series x native, xbox had this feature for years, slow clap for PlayStation finally catching up, also what happened to ps 5's quick resume?

[UnbreakableAlex]

What? PS5 still has no quick resume?

[Hereandthere]

They had it, but was a disaster, so they pulled it.

[MrNinosan]

No, PS5 never had Quick Resume.
However a ssd fast enough that most could care less.
My Series X still lacks quick resume for all games, not that I care, as I play 1 game at a time and can wait the minute (on Xbox) or few seconds (PS5) when changing game.

[TheNamelessOne]

Same lol. For as old it is, Champions is still a damn good game, holds up to this day, and I've put so many damn hours into it over the years. Almost always have it installed.

[S2Killinit]

PS5 ssd is so fast that you dont really need it. I click on a game and im in. Whats the point of quick resume at that point? I guess with xbox being slower its nice to have? As to 4k native, the PS5Pro puts any other console far behind. But it is $100 more expensive than the xbox series x, so there is that. MS needs to offer a mid generation console asap. Or else they need to escape PlayStation by offering their “next generation” quicker to escape direct competition with PlayStation.
