PS5 Pro Comparison Shows Better RayTracing in Hogwarts Legacy, Spider-Man 2, & 8K Screenshot Support

A new PS5 Pro comparison shows its enhanced ray tracing capabilities compared to PS5 in Hogwarts Legacy, Marvel's Spider-Man 2 & more.

[Hereandthere]

lololol, no.

[lukasmain]

lololol, YES

PS5 PRO is easily the best place to play on console. Taking the mantle from the PS5. I personally can't wait until the 7th. Will get to play ALL future games, including GTA6, in the best possible way on console.

Plus I get to play games I haven't played yet on console like Jedi Survivor, Lies of P, The Crew Motorfest and Stellar Blade. All enhanced.

[Hereandthere]

Sony deceived you guys, and you're still eating off their hands, that's cute. Truth is that the pro at most should have been 599.99. it really is a MID gen update, not even twice the power of the ps5, 10.3 vs 16.7 tf's . I would be very upset if i paid that much for this offering.

[lukasmain]

What's cute is someone as ridiculous as you trying to downplay everything. Us "fans" know exactly what we're getting and why we're getting it. You act like it cost $10,000 or something.

I'm going to play GTA6, Ghost of Yotei, Death Stranding 2 and Metal Gear Solid Delta in the best possible way when those games launch. That is the main reason why I'm getting this, it's the NEW games going forward. I don't care about the price or if it's 'too expensive by $99'. I don't give a Flying F*ck

[senorfartcushion]

I was annoyed by how many of my friends were deceived by the ps4 pro when that came out.

None of them are buying this console. What's the point when all it'll do is be replaced in a couple of years, not to mention ruin the hype of the ps6 when that arrives.

You think it'll play better then on pc?

[lukasmain]

@InYourFox

GTA6, Ghost OF Yotei, Death Stranding 2, Wolverine? No I don't, They aren't releasing on PC. Eventually, years later, maybe yes sure. But I really don't give a damn personally. You want to wait, then go ahead. No one is stopping you.

Not you of course. But certain people need to STFU and stop trying to rain on people's PS5 PRO parade. "Sony deceived you guys" LOL

[andy85]

Hereandthere don't you get bored? Especially peddling the same nonsense. Teraflops. Don't. Determine. Power. Read something 😂 16.7 TF but yet it's stronger than a 35 TF AMD card.

[Lightning77]

Well Sony seems to be closing the gap with PC releases. Getting shorter and shorter.

It won't be a few years anymore at this point.

[mkis007]

Lightning

And what of take 2 and rockstar? Seems they jist got around to releasing red dead on pc. Going to be a while yet for gta6.

[S2Killinit]

The series x with a 2 tb ssd cost 100 less than the PS5Pro which also has a 2tb ssd. So for the price of a game Im getting the PS5Pro.

“I would be very upset if I paid that much for this offering”

Well that’s the beauty of it, you don’t have to pay for anything you don’t want to.

The reality is hardware is not getting the steep discounts that it previously use to, because of inflation is getting to another all time high, there’s significantly more demand across ALL tech industries not just gaming (gaming, automotive, aviation, phone, PC, AI, mining, and much more….), and companies are starting to realize that people are willing to pay more when they see eBay inflation for Day 1 buyers be 2x as much as their asking price and staying that way for months.

The base PS5 is a custom laptop version of the RX 6700XT (6700m), and desktop GPU that’s still selling for around $300 new to this day. So you’re saying you can get at minimum a Zen 2 8-Core / 16-Thread CPU, 16GB of RAM, 1TB NVMe, MB, PSU, Case, Blu Ray Drive, and Controller for $200. My point exactly.

And that’s exactly why the consoles are having a harder time getting price cuts this generation. Yes Sony is profiting off the hardware currently which EVERY BUSINESS aims to do, but they’re not making $200 - $300 profit per console sold.

Moving on to the PS5 Pro. There’s no GPU available that matches the PS5 since RDNA 4 doesn’t get fully announced until CES, meaning the closest GPU is a laptop GPU based on the desktop RX 7800XT, a $500. So again, you’re saying you can get at minimum a Zen 2 8-Core / 16-Thread CPU, 16GB of RAM, 2TB NVMe, MB, PSU, Case, and Controller for $200. My point exactly.

These consoles are priced accordingly based on what the market price demands of the components (Xbox included). The only console that is overpriced based on their components are the Nintendo Switch consoles with the docks (and technically the 2TB Series X).

[MetroidFREAK21]

A console so unequivocally unnecessary it's hilarious

[S2Killinit]

What was it they called the x (i think thats what it was called), and then the series x? The “beast”? 😂

Well. Well well.

[TheSenorCheese]

Who's this Ray guy?

[jznrpg]

Punter who played for the Oakland Raiders

[lukasmain]

Ray Finkle, former kicker for the Miami Dolphins. He was dismissed after missing a game winning kick, costing his team the win in the 1984 Super Bowl. He blamed another player named Dan Marino for the mistake.

[Cockney]

"Laces out"

[__y2jb]

It transpired that Finkle later became a transsexual called Lois Einhorn.

4 days to go

[Neonridr]

17 for me.. 30th anniversary Pro.

[BrettAwesome]

Yeah. $1000,- for a PS5pro and a disc drive = gtfo

[goken]

People pay more every year for incremental improvements to the IPhone. Comparatively this isn’t so bad… not that I would get one 🤣

[blackblades]

You still whining about the price its been months, get the F over it and move on 🤡

[mkis007]

Same People have no problem spending 1000 every 2 years on a new gpu. Sold my ps5 for 300 so mine is only costing 400.

[S2Killinit]

The series x with 2tb ssd costs almost the same. And thats a xbox.

[jmac53]

You people complaining about this price do realize that if Trump gets elected and put his tariffs in place, you will be paying this price for a regular PS5. 25% tariff on a $500 console would make it $625. These companies will 100% pass the cost on to the consumers. If anything the people buying now are making the safe bet.

[jmac53]

Well look at that. I was fucking right. 125% tax on China where Xbox and PS5 are made. Suck on it losers, it's even worse than I imagined and he"s crashed the economy.

[northpaws]

Day one!! It is not cheap, but I worked hard to afford things like this, I will be happy to know that I have the most powerful console for the next three years at least.

[andy85]

Same tbh. It's my hobby. I've sold my PS5 for 300 so it's cost me 350 to upgrade for 3-4 years better quality gaming. Well worth it.

[northpaws]

Hopefully can sell mine too, I take good care of my stuff. It is way above ground so it is not dusty, and I keep all the original packaging.

[Muigi]

Same! Keyword: Work.

[Hedstrom]

Good for you, hope you enjoy it.

[repsahj]

Congratulations and enjoy bro!!

[Lightning77]

8K capture screen shot is pretty dope. Really dope actually. Seeing all those games in beautiful 8k glory sounds great.

[lukasmain]

My ears perked up at that, but then again, I don't have an 8k tv and I won't be buying one until the PS6 launches at the earliest. But it is nice to know that when you take a pic, regardless if you're on Performance mode or what, the best possible quality of pic will be taken. Good to know

[Neonridr]

for the handful of people that have 8K capable devices.

[mudakoshaka]

To play what new games? So I should pay almost 1000 dollars (including tax) to replay all of these games that I've already played on my PS5 that I bought in 2021? Sounds like a good deal...for them.

[Hofstaderman]

You've just described the Series X.

[Lightning77]

Well the Series consoles finally has new games to look forward to for the rest of this year and next year.

[Eonjay]

When you update your PC you don't expect new games to launch with it. You can get enjoyment by playing your current and future library better than you could before.

[mudakoshaka]

What future library on the PS5? Wolverine in 2026? So I should pay 1000 euros for one game that's coming in 1-2 years? And people call VR players crazy.

If it is not exclusive to the PS5, I got my 4080 for it!

[PhillyDonJawn]

Pointless upgrade. Just not worth the price

[LoveSpuds]

It's all subjective squire.

I use my PS5 for around 7 hours a day, every day, whether gaming or consuming other media. To my mind, 700 quid is more than I would like to pay, but still offers incredible value for money if I get 4 years or so out of it.

[PhillyDonJawn]

To each their own. If you feel its more than you'd want to pay that's your mind telling you it's not worth it.

[LoveSpuds]

Absolutely not conflicted at all chief, it's more than I'd like to pay doesn't mean I don't think it's worth it. It's simply an acknowledgement that 700 quid is a lot of money.

[gold_drake]

i hate that fans essentially had to make this comparisons etc.

sony should have shown us those in their presentation.

like im.still getting mine soon but still.

it would have been a much easier sell

[GotGame818]

Not worth it. I will upgrade when PS6/NextBox/ and Switch 2 come out. This gen honestly has been disappointing in terms of a leap.

[TheNamelessOne]

I'll wait for the remake.
