PS5 Pro is still far cheaper than a PC

Do you really think that PS5pro's GPU is equivalent to 7900 XTX or RTX4080!? Oh holy LOL :D

No, and if that's what you took away from my post then you are making the same mistake at lot of uninformed commentators are making.

No, the PS5 Pro is not nearly as good as an RTX 4080.  But it doesn't need to be to get the same result; and that's the point here.

Think about it.  Sony / Nixxes themselves say that to get 4k / 60fps with high Ray Tracing on PC with Ratchet & Clank Rift Apart, you will need:

But look at the videos both Sony and CNet have released of the same game running on PS5 Pro.

It is also running at 4k 60 fps with high Ray Tracing.

But because the PS5 Pro GPU & CPU are much lower than this, then how is it able to do it?

The answer is PSSR.

And this is where a lot of people are getting it wrong. 

Unlike a 4080 which is natively rendering a 4K image, the PS5 Pro is not.  It's using AI to upscale a lower resolution up to 4K.

This is the big paradigm shift in graphics rendering.  AI is upscaling a lower resolution image to make it look identical to a native 4K image.

So no, the GPU is PS5 Pro is no where near a 4080.  But it doesn't need to be because this is the start of the big AI paradigm shift in graphics rendering.

You might want to read up on DLSS because you are grossly and insanely misinformed.  PSSR is NOTHING new.  DLSS has been around for a long time and is king of the hill.  

Sony is doing in 2024 what Nvidia has been doing since 2019.  Well not exactly, nvidia has frame gen on top of upscaling, so the Pro is way behind PC.
