The QoL in social features are the best part of this Beta… the options added are really helpful for these that are in Party Chat with friends most of time.

It's not a small amount of gamers. A lot of people use PC monitors for console gaming.
And most will have no issue at all.
The same that PS5 will do know the monitor already do itself… supersample from 4k.

That update are for these 1440p monitors that doesn’t accept 4k signal that are actually rare old monitors.

I just read the blog post.

There is no game actually that outputs in 1440p… it either need patch for old games or that the developer implement that option in new games.

I just have a feeling that even more modes will become a mess :( Half-assed modes being delivered in games.

Now the fix for 1440p monitors that doesn’t accept direct 4k signal is good and where the console supersample will be useful (1440p monitors that accept 4k signal already do supersample).
Come now, it was always about 1440p output not actually having an option to render every game at 1440p, that makes no sense, way too much work for something that a fraction of people will ever use.

This solution allows you to use a cheaper 1440p monitor that couldn't downsample from 4K on it's own. Problem solved.

Oh wow, I didn't even read that.

That's a really weird restriction. That just implies its not native 1440p but some kind of patch-work solution, otherwise there's no reason VRR shouldn't work on any arbitrary resolution.

There is no 1440p resolution in games.
Games are either 1080p or 4k.
That can change if devs choose to implement a 1440p option via patch or future games.

1440p PS5 option is just to supersample 4k to 1440k or upscale 1080p to 1440p for some rare monitor that doesn't do that nattily.

Sony wouldn't bend over backwards to add these features now if it wasn't needed or requested by their user base.
When unnecessary features were removed due not being needed or requested? You make no sense lol

The last time I could think of something like that was PS3 Other OS or PS3 BC.
That made no buzz or harm to PS3 the remove of them either.

?

Are you really going to tell us that there wasn't a ton of PS5 users demanding features like VRR and 1440p ? You have been on GAF and Era, you should know better how many people kept talking about it every time there were system updates.

It may be unnecessary for your specific use case, but clearly a lot of other people wanted it.

GAF and ERA are not even 1% of the the actual PS5 users lol
C'mon.

And not it was not a demanding feature outside your forum bubble.
There are chances to that feature be more useful to me than 99% of PS users... that is the same reason you see me in forum... we are hardcore and not the common console user.

Look, in the end Sony thinks these features were demanded enough to add. If there was no demand, they wouldn't just add them for no reason.

There's no negative in adding 1440p support or VRR support in any scenario at all. Worst case scenario you can turn both those things off.

Man I absolutely have no use for this option, probably the two XBOX fans who always say "where is 1440p", will be pissed now, no, they won't be happy, I can assure you. They only spoke about it because XBOX had it and PS didn't.

Truth is, nobody uses this, why would I hook up my console to a 1440p monitor in the first place, 4k tv's have been dirt cheap for ages and the 1440 monitors I had just seems like ages ago.

Yet, I'm happy for options, especially for this feature, just to shut the vocal 1440p goons, even DF were on that bandwagon too. Hopefully Sony allows 120Hz system wide on PS5 next, this will also help with LFC for VRR. They also need to allow 8k at the video settings menu, even though there is only one game presently. I'm sure more games will come, even those who would do 8k with T.I, CB or FSR 2.0. In the end, Sony just needs to open up the bandwidth from 32Gb to 48Gb on the HDMI lane.
