Personally, I think Pro models are a waste for current owners. Performance is about balance, especially with GPU and CPU. As someone who bought a ps4 Pro I was disappointed with the performance gain. Pumping up one aspect while keeping the other flat just creates a bottleneck. I could be wrong, been a while, but I think the ps4 Pro cranked the CPU but memory bandwidth barely moved. The difference between the two was meh. The ps4 pro was the only piece of hardware I bought that I regretted. edit the ps4 versus pro also demonstrates how worthless teraflops are. Massive teraflop increase, but visual output didn't look much different. Given it was largely the same chipsets, just overclocked a bit. |
The PS4 Pro had a big GPU power increase while the CPU was only slightly better. Games on the Pro often had higher visual settings but a lot of the visual improvement was from increasing resolution so if something was say 1080p on the base PS4 it could be a significantly higher resolution upscaled to 4K on the Pro. The rumours point to a much smaller rasterisation improvement this time around but a big improvement in ray tracing which if true means the benefits per game will mostly come down to how hard a game pushes ray tracing.
