DF: PlayStation 5 Pro Unboxing

[ethomaz]

You can not like them but that is probably one of the best unboxing video I ever saw…

But it's the 16.7TF of GPU compute performance that is new information. Sony has not actually given any kind of TFLOPs number for the PlayStation 5 Pro, but prior leaks have suggested around 33.5TF - a somewhat exaggerated number that arrived with AMD RDNA 3 architecture with its dual issue FP32 functionality. Sony's confirmation of 16.7TF suggests that the dual issue FP32 support is not in the PlayStation 5 Pro - not that this is too much of a big deal as it has very, very little impact on gaming performance.

Finally, the specifications confirm that the PS5 Pro has more memory than the base unit - an extra 2GB of DDR5. Leaks have previously suggested that the Pro has an extra 1.2GB of available RAM for game makers, so the likelihood is that system level memory requirements are shunted over to the new memory pool, leaving more of the faster memory for games to use.

PlayStation 5 Pro: we've removed it from its box - and there's new information to share

DF coming with their millionth video about the PS5 Pro. It seems it's paying the bills right now. No complaints, though.

Can we get to the games ffs

It's very clear that John reads the boards. He kept making meta commentary.

Do note John, that before the DF narratives your analysis and benchmarks used to be most on point from a technical perspective.

There needs to be a review thread….

The Verge PS5 Pro Review:

"For that matter, I fired up The Last of Us Part I on my mid-range gaming PC today, a PC whose graphics card alone would still retail for around $300. I sat on a loading screen for 15 minutes just to compile the game’s shaders, then launched a game with buggy hair and dull grey mirrors that don’t reflect. I mucked about with settings for 20 more minutes to make the game playable."

"Then, I plugged a PS5 Pro into the same 4K monitor. The game loaded almost instantly. It was both beautiful and playable right away."

"The kind of person who should buy a PS5 Pro is the kind of person who doesn’t want to muck around. They’ll want the best console gaming experience money can buy, a large OLED display to go with it, and a plan to park themselves real close to that screen."

@John Elden Ring Will more than likely make one unless someone else does before him

I can't wait to open my box! But not a chance I will rip it to shreds like John did. What a maroon.

Got my slim today to claim the drive for the pro, cause you can no longer buy drive on it’s own for unknown reasons ffs.

Man the slim presents like a cheap Chinese knockoff against the originals majesty no?

I usually don't do that either more because if I received a faulty unit I have the box to send it back... it is really hard to find an alternative box that fits to send back.
But if everything is working fine my box goes to trash

I don't have appeal to boxes... they just take space and accumulates dust.

Well, this time (if it fits), I might throw my old OG PS5 in the box for shipping purposes when I go to sell it on ebay. But still, don't rip the box!
