This is going to be one powerful console. I cant wait to see what will be possible. The question I have is, would this console improve the quality of what I would see on my PSPortal?

[Neonridr]

doubt it. Your Portal is a monitor at the end of the day, so you can't really improve the image on it. The games could run a little better off the machine, but everything is being streamed to this device. So ultimately it's your internet connection that dictates fluidity.

[Eonjay]

The answer is yes. The portal only mirrors what the console shows. If the Pro is transmitting an image with better image quaility it will look better on the Pro. This one is pretty basic. The internet comment isn't correct because even if you have 2Gbps internet a video with 480p res is still 480p res. A video encoded at 1080p is still a video encoded at 1080p. The image itself can have better image quaility regardless of how it is encoded.

[Neonridr]

@Eonjay - my internet comment was more about artifacting / buffering, etc which can come with streaming due to packet loss and other things. Naturally whatever image is streamed is what you get on the display device. And in the case of Remote Play, it has a limit to what it streams (resolution wise), the Pro doesn't change that. Sony would have to go in and add a Pro option that would allow for higher quality streaming perhaps. But as you said, the image on the Portal is capped.

@Neonridr

While this is correct, it doesn't answer his question because we don't know what kind of connection he has.

And you are right the Pro wont change the resolution that it is streamed at. However, a 4k image downsampled image to 1080p is gonna look better than a native 1080p image especially when the 4k Image has better IQ to begin with.

So we are both right.

Stuff like raytracing doesn't magically disappear because of streaming or intenet connection

[darthv72]

Well... seeing as it will be tethered to the base 5... you can already see what is possible. It will let games run performance mode with quality settings.

As for the portal, only an improved portal 2 could improve quality. The current one is a 1080p screen so thats as good as its going to get.

"The current one is a 1080p screen so thats as good as its going to get."

Not sure if that's really true. I don't have a portal but does it really look like it's running native on device? Any improvement to the stream encoding could improve the experience.

[darthv72]

I set my 5 to performance mode which usually is 1080-1440 and when streamed to the portal it looks pretty damn close to native as there is still compression and streaming artifacts. But in performance mode makes playing on the portal feel really smooth and responsive.

I tried quality mode, and I prefer faster frame rates. And i did notice a difference in quality because it still reduces the streamed output to 1080p for the portal. Anything more than that is just wasting resources. I can see Sony making a 4k portal 2 which would take more advantage of the 5pro and PS6.

"I set my 5 to performance mode which usually is 1080-1440 and when streamed to the portal it looks pretty damn close to native as there is still compression and streaming artifacts. But in performance mode makes playing on the portal feel really smooth and responsive."

So there is room for improvement. That's all I'm saying.

[darthv72]

^^not like you think. By difference in quality I was referring to the reduction of a 4k stream to a 1080p device. Meaning you see more compression and artifacting than if it was a direct 1080p stream. As I said, the only way to improve a portal experience is with a new portal that matches the same 4k output stream.

Any idea if that extra horsepower means my old PS5 will not get specific games in the future??

[RaidenBlack]

"my old PS5 will not get specific games in the future??" ~ what do you mean?
Specific games or specific features?

Or are you asking for TF comparison?
Xbox One: 1.3 tflops
PS4: 1.84 tflops
PS4 Pro: 4.20 tflops
Xbox One X: 6 tflops
PS5: 10.28 tflops
Xbox Series X: 12.14 tflops
PS5 Pro: 16.7 tflops

Xbox One to Xbox One X: 4.61 times as powerful (361 percent more tflops)

PS4 to PS4 Pro: 2.28 times as powerful (128 percent more tflops)

PS5 to PS5 Pro: 1.62 times as powerful (62 percent more tflops)

Xbox Series X to PS5Pro: 1.37 times as powerful (34 percent more tflops)

^disregarding upscaling feature

[IRetrouk]

Didn't happen during the ps4 gen, dont see it happing now, after all, at its heart, its just a better ps5.

[lukasmain]

There is no chance that would happen. I'm 100% certain

[Miacosa]

A defacto console beast until next gen.
