Stellar Blade PC vs. PS5 Pro Comparison Shows Clear Visual Improvements On PC

A detailed comparison of Stellar Blade reveals the PC version offers superior visuals and performance over the PS5 Pro.

Another $2k PC vs $700 console comparison...

[RaiderNation]

Wow, it seems like a lot of people hate the truth, lol.

[Babadook7]

You're right about that.

And at 1:52 I think the shadows actually look better on the console. It's got distance corrected softening.

Overall this isn't a big win for PC it's a little sharper on far more pricy hardware.

[Eonjay]

Im really struggling to see tangible clear improvement to visuals on either version. They look identical to me.

[Stevonidas]

More like a $900 PC vs $700 console. Sony ports arrive already optimized for low-end hardware.

[Babadook7]

Nope. They are using a brand new rig with a 5090.

[anast]

$900 will get you Fortnite and a few CRPGs and maybe GTAV.

[Shiore2u]

@Babadook7 They used multiple configurations, but the 5060 Ti is the standout of the comparison. You don't need a 5090 to max this game.

"The PC version of Stellar Blade demonstrates outstanding optimization, delivering buttery-smooth performance even at max settings. Its implementation of multi-frame generation technology shines particularly bright on NVIDIA’s RTX 50 series – a GeForce RTX 5060 Ti can push frame rates beyond 150 FPS with all graphical bells and whistles enabled. This not only highlights the developers’ technical mastery but also showcases the game engine’s impressive scalability across PC hardware configurations."

And right in the video description:

"Thanks to this technology, we can run Stellar Blade at over 150fps with maximum settings on a 5060Ti."

@Shiore

They don’t say they use a 5060TI anywhere but the comparison with other cards. Fake frames are not as good as real ones. So for a 5060TI this would likely run at well under the native FPS used by the ps5 pro. Why would you choose to accept that hit in latency?They most likely compared the 5090 in each comparison that wasn’t labeled otherwise.

[Shiore2u]

@Babadook7 In the video you can see the performance with the configuration listing, which showcases the 5060 Ti. So yes they used it. Doesn't matter if it's throughout. The game is being maxed out on the 5060 Ti, at those settings there is no visual difference between it and 5090 as both are at the "setting ceiling".

Saying “fake frames are not as good as real ones” misses the point of what frame generation is actually doing. The GPU still renders the core frames like normal, but frame generation intelligently adds inbetween frames using motion data, which makes everything look much smoother, especially at high framerates, The 5060 Ti; a middle card in the 50 series line up handles above 150 frames in this game, so it's utilized well in part with it's native optimization. You can check what the recommended requirements are for this game for 1440p 60, we're talking hardware from almost ten years ago.

You can make an argument for competitive games where latency and Nvidia Reflex can only do so much currently, but not for slower paced single-player, cinematic stuff where frame gen legitimately improves the experience past a performance threshold, such as shown in the benchmark.

Forget about it dude it's impossible to convince these guys a PS5 Pro is equivalent to an entry-to-mid level new PC and not some $2000 machine. They don't want to hear it. Still stuck in covid/crypto boom price mentality or something.

[Babadook7]

@Shiore

You didn't contradict any of my points. This is most likely using the 5090, not the 5070TI. No evidence to the contrary exists and so you couldn't produce any. Settings aren't the problem, activating is. As for the 5070TI it would be running at about 37.5 FPS and that makes a game like this worse than on the Pro due to poor latency.

[Shiore2u]

@Babadook7 You don't have any points, your "most likely" is based on nothing. You're the one with no evidence to the contrary. I however have what's in front of me that's already comparable to other existing benchmarks, and so there's no reasonable doubt on their part to have to lie. You can quite literally go on youtube and search "Stellar Blade 5060 Ti" and pick your poison. This isn't hidden information.

[Babadook7]

Great. You can run it at max settings on a GTX 5060TI at 37.5 FPS. Or smooth out the frames but not the latency and introduce extra artifacts. Well played.

[CrimsonIdol]

It's wild what you'll go to to cope here. Taking that "beyond 150FPS" number and dividing it by 4 to get your magic 37.5FPS number kind of shows how little you know about any of this, and your dishonesty to try and reach a figure that supports your bias. The PS5 Pro game looks fine, you don't need warp reality to defend it, but the fact is a 5060ti in pure performance metrics is about 40% faster than the PS5 Pro's GPU. PC's going to have some overhead but not that much.

[Shiore2u]

@Babadook7 Lmao. There is no such things as "GTX 5060TI " The GTX line hasn't been a thing since the 20 series introduced RTX. There is no artifacting with a game like this at these settings, nor at that framerate.

Here, you can kindly stop regurgitating nonense now. You really need to educate yourself on what you think you know what you're talking about. Even if it's to troll, improve your ability at it. You're not even being entertaining.

[Babadook7]

NAH, it’s the usual PC elitists who are reaching on this one. I’m far closer to reality by my math than you guys trying to claim that 150 FPS is an accurate comparison to native FPS. Totally ignoring the documented latency it creates. Oh and $2000 was accurate sorry guys.

[Babadook7]

Regarding RTX vs GTX I stand corrected.

Your video however is of terrible quality and isn’t proof of anything. Actual analysis shows there is plenty of artifacts for current frame gen.

Here for example.
https://www.techradar.com/c...

“Once again, I found that Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered is another game that the Nvidia RTX 5090 can play at 8K – but with a lot of help from DLSS and Multi Frame Generation.

However, maybe because of underlying technology or the fact that the game hasn't been out (in remastered form) long enough for major patches or drivers, the visual artefacts that are introduced using these features were particularly obvious – and distracting.”

Also the 4x frame gen will indeed be significantly worse in terms of latency than the 60 fps version on PS5 (and pro).

[CrimsonIdol]

*facepalm*. I think you need to do some actual research dude. I'd try and educate you a little more but it's pretty clear you "don't want to hear it"

[thorstein]

You just triggered a ton of people. The video shows such little difference. You just destroyed their worldview.

[PanicMechanic]

There is a MASSIVE difference between 60-80 fps variable vs a locked 165 fps. You’re very cocky for someone who has no idea what they’re talking about

[Obscure_Observer]

It´s a $500 5060Ti vs $700 PS5 Pro console! All it takes is to read the damn video description on Youtube.

"It is one of the games that best use multi frame generation for the RTX 50 series. Thanks to this technology, we can run Stellar Blade at over 150fps with maximum settings on a 5060Ti."

You´ll never gonna admit that the PS5 Pro is nothing but a huge scam!

[BlueDaBaDee]

Moreover, if you're using a CPU released within the last decade such as the recommended i5-8400 you'd still be fine upgrading to a 5060ti, the bottleneck would be negligible to performance.

[TexasToast30]

Great looking game.

[jznrpg]

It looks great on Pro

[robtion]

To be fair it looks great on a base ps5 too.

All games look better on a high end PC that is just stating the obvious. This article is just click bait trying to get people arguing.

[PRIMORDUS]

You don't need a 5090 to show improvements, even a 4070 can have better results, especially if you use reshade, come on PC people you need to use reshade in most PC games.😂

[Master-Tonberry]

Let's be honest. Only those with the absolute most discerning eyes or the ability to run both side by side will see any difference in terms of image quality/fidelity. Frame rate is really the only major difference with PC obviously going much higher depending on the hardware/money thrown at it. But the game at least for now is single player only and designed around 60fps so higher fps is just a nice luxury for those who can get it.

[YourMommySpoils]

It actually looks better on PS5. Those rain drops on PC look ridiculous.

[Yui_Suzumiya]

I'll be getting this on Steam Deck eventually

[SPEAKxTHExTRUTH]

I gotta say it already looks excellent running on my Pro and OLED. Can’t imagine it looking much better.
