8K Ray Tracing will be their marketing buzzword. Most consumers who need a better thing to play just gonna buy them, it is more powerful. They don't care.
PS5 Pro codenamed ‘PROJECT TRINITY’ details and release date
- Thread starter Unchained
- Start date
The slow rate of adoption of 8K TVs show thatt it's not going to work. 8K does not appeal to anyone, people already have experience with 4K and how little it actually mattered when most content consumed isn't even properly 4K.
An honest message would work much better.
Sony is a hardware company. Sony makes 8k tvs. Sony would like to sell more 8k tvs.
What is hard to understand? Tech always improves.
PS5 GPU has 18WGP.
PS5 GDDR6 is 14000 MT/s.
Memory is not a issue because the bus will dictate the final bandwidth so a 320bits bus can do wonders even without a big increase in MT/s.
But the WGP seems a small jump.
30 WGP at same speeds as actual PS5 will give you around 17TFLOPS.
And I have the feeling the clocks will decrease due the more WGPszzz maybe 15-16TFs.

Well, that makes sense and will give us 4K gaming with improved RT and consistent fps
It just to set expectations… with 30WGP it will way smaller jump than PS4 to PS4 Pro for example.
Of course the games will have better resolution and maybe (if the CPU keep the upgrade) framerate.
For 8k it is still a joke.
no VR would benefit the least, PSVR2 already has a lot of overhead thanks to FOVeated rendering. This is for 3rd party studios that can't optimize their games
I bet it will be at least RDNA 4, something new like Cache Scrubber and with over 2700mhz. Clock speed >>> CU. It will be faster than PS5 and Series X/S combined.
We dont know they are focusing on it. It will probably be like the PS5 when they mentioned it can play 8K
Im sure it will just give studios more options for performance and graphics mode. 60fps, 120fps, 4k, dynamic4k, Ray tracing options etc
Maybe there is some truth to there not being a xbox series pro console?The green rats are insecure that PS5 will be most powerful console
Microsoft are in a bit of a dilemna.
Developers are already complaining about the series s, adding another box to consider is just going to make the series s a even bigger headache then it is now.
I am an early adopter of 4K TV back when it hit the market like 10 years go.
It still running well right now in my parents's home lol. It even has built-in satalitte receiver and no garbage Android TV.
Too bad the speaker on both side look garbage
60 CUs RDNA3, running at 2.2 Ghz, that gonna be at least 35 TFLOPs FP32, great marketing number Sony
Just hope for at least 100% performance uplift in rasitization performance.

PS5 performs usually almost always better than Xbox with less TFLOP. Cerny is a big fan of high clocks. Especially with Ray Tracing with RDNA 4 and Sonys solution will much faster
Sony patents method for “significant improvement of ray tracing speed”
Special hardware units handle ray traversal, freeing up the GPU shaders.

Let's talk about the "do I need a PS5 Pro?"
Until 1 month ago I would have said "hard no". But today? Given that the street date would be November 2024, and that at that time my launch PS5 would be 4 years old, looks like it could be a good opportunity to actually buy a box that is in warranty AND may be a step forward.
It really depends on how much it's going to cost and the difference with the trade-in price of my launch PS5.

I always get deal like PS+Soundbar+TV for like 30-40% of market price so I would probably upgrade anyway
We are in 2023 and youtube is now charging for higher bitrate 1080p, Netflix charges extra for 4K, very few sport events are broadcast in 4K, 4K Blu-rays are still a fraction of disc sales. Reconstructed games in 4K is probably the most consistent use of 4K screen.I am an early adopter of 4K TV back when it hit the market like 10 years go.
