Here's a video from the Technical Presentation. I wasn't that particulary that bothered but after seeing some of the differences i might reconsider

Just looked at the price £699. Hmmm

 

[Matt Cup]

Think I’d rather invest in a gaming pc at that price point tbh.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Think I want a new TV before a new PS5 - Price is pretty crazy.

 

[N0ddie]

Its over £800 if you add the disc drive and the stand

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Looking at the performance increase, it would seem to be based on a 7800XT GPU architecture.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Looks good but developers don't get enough games playing at 120fps on the PS5 pauper, so adding some extra reflections isn't the priority for me.

Can't see that many people going got it at that price either.

 

[Flat Eric]

They've built it with GTA 6 in mind haven't they?

 

[R3k1355]

They've built it because the PS5 is halfway through it's lifecycle already.

quit possibly yeah, on a video on youtube a guy mentions there's a few games made specially for the Pro like Ratchet and Klank, Assasins Creed for example.

The Pro version will no doubt sell well but not as much as the normal version. If a PS5 does go then yeah go for a Pro version, but i don't think i like having the disc drive extension though, think you leave the face plate off don't you from that side?

There's allways a market for people who want the latest fps and all that, one thing that still bothers me is that it's still advetised 8K on the box lol. Why bother putting it on.

Would of thought be nice to get 4k 120fps on all games by now even on the nromal PS5

 

[Geddes]

This popped up on my feed, quit a few fair comments

 

[Daz...]

The older a console or PC gets then the less chance it’ll have of running the latest games at the highest resolution or fps.

It’s no surprise they’ve had to do a refresh.

i know it's not cheap, but i am assume to get one the latest games running at 4k @ 120fps on a PC you would be paying twice as much?

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Pretty much. A GPU capable of 4k is the same price as the pro will be. Then you've got the rest of the hardware to get.

 

[Daz...]

Only the PC will be true 4k and not upscaled.

 

[Ph1 Tom]

Only the PC will be true 4k and not upscaled.

And if you use KBM you become a part of the true master race 👀

Will the PS5 pro still upscale or will 4K become native?

 

[Matt Cup]

 

[SharkyUK]

Will the PS5 pro still upscale or will 4K become native?

Upscaling is here to stay on pretty much any platform for the foreseeable, be it PS5 Pro or PC. The increasing adoption of RT necessitates it as hardware performance alone still falls way short of what is needed to achieve acceptable visuals without help. Sony's PSSR will be widely used on titles for PS5 Pro (although I don't think it has been mandated as obligatory).

PC Master Race FTW.

EDIT: Sorry, Tom - didn't mean to quote as I know you are tech-savvy and likely already know this!
