We do supposedly have more game reveals on the way, so we'll see how that shapes up. Sony is at TGS too.

"No games have fully utilized the machine." Um... maybe you need to re-read the title of this article, over and over, until it clicks.
If the significantly more powerful (45% more raw performance, 3x more raytracing performance, 20% more memory bandwidth, before we even get to upscaling) Pro can't render this game even at 1080p (which, this could be lazy development as well), then that means the base 5 was maxed out long ago.

Maybe it's just tim...

Your second sentence contradicts the first. "You won't be able to see it... but (moves the goal posts) even if you do, it won't be worth it."

Thorstein, more than that, because it needs to be a gen5 ssd in order to hit the 9.8gbps that PS5 can with its internal drive.

PC master race is big mad that there's a console coming that outperforms anything a PC can do at the same price point, as it that hasn't always been the case.

By your logic, nobody should get a PC since the vast majority of PC games come to consoles as well, and the consoles are cheaper and give you more bang for the buck (you won't build a $400 PC more powerful than a PS5, or a $700 PC more powerful than a Pro, especially after buying a controller (that will still lack haptics) and an operating system), plus you don't have to wait years to play the games that come out on consoles first, and still get exclusives like GT7 that PCs will never...

Shiore... No, we're not talking about Xbox here, PlayStaiton still has plenty of exclusives. piroh already mentioned several of them.

Years after then console owners beat and sold their copies, and even then, not all of the games end up coming.

Read the post above yours... PC lacks dedicated hardware decoding, it has to rely on the GPU to do it (which takes some GPU power), it lacks a dedicated 3D audio chip, it lacks haptic feedback, it lacks RDNA4 ray tracing tech, it lacks a 36TFLOP GPU in a $700 system...

It's far more impressive than anything in the $600 2TB Xbox Series X that only has 1/3 the raw compute power in its GPU, and more impressive than anything you can get in a PC for $700.

Got a source for that which isn't your ass?

While this is true, the machine learning features don't tie into the ray tracing stuff, different hardware involved. The ML stuff is what powers FSR on AMD GPUs, DLSS on Nvidia GPUs, and PSSR in PS5 Pro. AI-assisted frame-reconstruction to enable higher resolution output from lower resolution renders.

"OK, do us all a favor, pull the RAM out of your computer and boot your PC only using your VRAM, tell us how that goes." lol

LOL, hilarious

As the article says, you won't build a PC anywhere near as powerful for what you can buy a Pro for, and even then it still would lack features you can only get on PS5.

9d ago 20 agree18 disagreeView comment

AMD has FSR, but PSSR is supposed to exceed it. It's said to be comparable to Nvidia's DLSS.

9d ago 5 agree24 disagreeView comment

No dedicated 3D audio hardware, no dedicated hardware decompression chips (so PCs have to use their GPUs, which takes some of their GPU power in the process), no haptic feedback, no PSSR, no RDNA 4 ray tracing tech (yet).

The Pro isn't a digital only console, either, you can add the attachable blu-ray drive that the PS5 slim uses to it.

Spiderman 2 isn't an "old gen" title. Neither is Hogwarts. Horizon's DLC they showed is PS5 only. GT7, cross gen or not, is the best looking console racer out there (Even DF agrees there). Not to say they couldn't have done a better job, but they weren't strictly "old gen" titles.

9d ago 31 agree23 disagreeView comment

Yes, it said finest platformers in recent memory... this game is easily one of the best ever, right up there with the Nintendo greats.

PS4 Pro offered nothing more than games that hit 4K by checkerboard upscaling and HDR. PS5 Pro offers not just upscaling, but some of the best AI powered upscaling in the industry, as well as RDNA4 ray tracing tech that you can't even buy in PC graphics cards yet. There are also 65% more compute units/shader cores for raw hardware performance upgrades before you get to the ray tracing and upscaling, and 20% more memory bandwidth. 5 Pro is a much bigger leap than 4 Pro was.
