Soundwave said: Kinda hard to word it because really even a PS4-XB1 era game, if you crank the resolution to native 4K and 60 fps, the PS5/XSX are likely going to struggle with some games, but if just turn on ray tracing it will basically choke the system to death at those settings. |
I don't think that's what TC means. As in not taxing the system to the max; any developer could do that. Its optimising a game/engine with maximum efficiency to achieve the best performance/fidelity possible on that given machine.
We're still in the infancy in this generation with developers barely scratching the surface of whats possible with PS5/Xbox Series consoles. Take the new feature sets for example.. in so far no games have taken advantages of mesh/primitive shaders. This alone will drastically boost performance by orders of magnitude.
In any case stuff like the Matrix Awakens tech demo or UE5 demo is a small glimpse into what kind of fidelity could and should expect to see in a couple of years. I'd wager we'll see some developers match even exceed some of the graphics done in those demos.
