Wait... They showed gta 5 at the start.... That was never confirmed. Were they using pc footage?

They ran tests with a PC with similar spec to Pro to test it against a high range spec PC. GTA must of been one of the games it tested.

So we have the same shitty framerates, the same shitty low quality textures but hey, a slightly sharper image. I guess that's exactly what people wanted.

Plus HDR, which is the biggest jump in picture quality that displays have seen in a very, very long time.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.

At least the framerates will be more stable.

Oh yeah, that too, But it might turn out that I won't be using my PS4 Pro at my 4k HDR Tv but a 1080p monitor.

Finally able to keep the 25 fps steady instead of slipping into 18 fps. So proud of Sony.

Hopefully 3rd parties will go for 1080p 60 rather than 4K.

In the Xbox side, since DF mentioned it, I wonder what 12GB RAM in the Scorpio vs 8GB in the current Xb one will do in terms of games designed for Scorpio. Is it going to be tricky squeezing a game through a 33% smaller pipe? Keeping the PS4P RAM at 8GB does limit PS4P, but it seems like it might help to ensure games run well on all PS4 skus.

I don't think the CPU boost is large enough to consistently hit 60 fps in most 30 fps games.

I'm not that hopeful. I mean it's not like you can double framerate with a 30% faster CPU. And by now it should be clear that the vast majority of developers puts visuals over performance every time.

When Digital Foundry initially tried to compare he PS4 Pro specs and RX 480, did they bother using an AMD 8core and underclocking the CPU to 2.2Ghz in the comparison against the 480? Not to mention the Pro GPU likely compares more to the perf of a 470 due to reduced clockspeeds.

Because otherwise for comparisons purpose this is  too flawed a comparison as to how the hardware compares, and gives us better insight as to why this checkerboard method was baked  in the first place.

Yes blame sony because  developers  think  amazing  graphics  is more important  then  gameplay  and framerate. 

 

Kuch kuch almost all japanese games run @60fps
