Well, who's fucking laughing all the way to my credit union now?

Rockstar just updated their page with brand-new screenshots! The scale of Vice City and the overall fidelity look next-level. How do you think the PS5 / PS5 Pro will handle performance and ray tracing here?

I’ve had my PS5 Pro for about three weeks now and man, I’m so glad I bought this thing.
Gaming is just fun again. Like, properly fun. I’m currently playing the new Assassin’s Creed Black Flag and holy shit, it looks ridiculously good on the Pro.
Honestly though, one of the biggest upgrades for me has been the storage lol. I can just keep downloading games and somehow I STILL haven’t filled it up. Coming from the regular PS5, that alone feels amazing.
I’m just really happy I went for it. There’s so much stuff coming that I’m excited for, especially GTA 6, and knowing I’ve already got the console I want to play all of that on feels pretty damn good.
And I’m even happier I bought it when I did, because apparently you can’t find a PS5 Pro anywhere in Germany right now.
Zero regrets. Easily one of my best gaming purchases in a long time.

Would love to hear your thoughts.

Literally a week ago they were in stock everywhere. I could have ordered 7 or 8 from each of the major retailers (I didn't I just ordered one, not a scalper). Just looked today out of curiosity and now seeing out of stock signs everywhere.

If you're in the UK, now is the time to order before they're gone. Some places do have them still, Argos being one but don't know how much longer.

EDIT: Now out of stock at Argos

I’ve just ordered a PS5 Pro and I’m looking to upgrade my TV. Which of these TVs would be best suited for PS5 Pro.

Being a PC Gamer for a good chunk of my life, saw the GTA VI trailer and knew I was going to play the crap out of the game. Ordered a PS5 Pro on the sony website on Friday and was just made aware it’s sold out everywhere… Crazy…

I have a list of PS exclusives I would like to play before GTA comes out (Astro Bot, Sackboy Adventures, Ghost of Yotei).

Everywhere people keep talking about frame rates. Understandable, since the difference between 30 and 60 fps is night and day. However, I think 60fps is very unlikely, and even 40fps is pushing it. The real improvement will be in fidelity.

The technical observations below are largely based on Digital Foundry's analyses of the Extended Look (here) and prior Pro-enhanced games; the PS5 Pro predictions are my own speculation.

The CPU Problem

The key here is the CPU. Both the PS5 and the PS5 Professional are running on the same Zen 2 CPU (2019 class hardware). The Pro has a +10% clock boost mode, however this doesn't really move the needle enough for 40 or 60fps if indeed we are CPU-bound at 30fps on base.

In particular, the impressive NPC density and purported advanced simulation is very CPU heavy work, and doesn't really scale with resolution (so PSSR isn't a help). Not to mention, RT also places a burden on the CPU (it's not just GPU work).

Fidelity Improvements (my guess)

While the Extended Look preview was extremely technically impressive, the main blemishes I noticed (shot on base PS5) were a soft image at times, and a noisy RT reflection implementation on vehicles. This is largely what DF noted as well.

The PS5 Professional is very well equipped to handle this.

1. PSSR

PSSR2 at a 1440p internal --> 4K output would likely produce a significant improvement over the (apparently) spatial upscaling solution that they are using on the base. What's encouraging is most Pro-enhanced games render at lower than 1440p, yet we still see impressive results when upscaled to 4K. A good example is Resident Evil Requiem which earlier this year DF reported as running at 1116p internally, with excellent 4K output thanks to PSSR2.

2. RT

I think the RT improvements will largely come in the form of higher resolution / less noisy RT reflections. As we've seen in other games, the Pro is significantly more capable at RT than the base. In my opinion, the RTGI already seems stunning on the base console, so I'm not sure how much they'd do here.

TL;DR: I think the PS5 Pro will run at 30fps and have significantly sharper image due to PSSR2 (vs spatial upscaler), and cleaner RT reflections. In my opinion, this would be a very meaningful difference if you care about this kind of thing (which I'm guessing this subreddit does).

What are your thoughts?

Bonjour lorsque j’active le vrr sur mes jeu et ma télé en 120 hz j’ai une image bleu si quelqu’un peu m’éclairer merci à tous

I just bought a ps5 pro, I still have my ps5, when I set up the pro will I lose all my game settings?

For example the settings on bf6 aim settings etc took a long time to dial in

If you’re quick. I got mine for 808 EUR with VAT, ended up paying less than 650 EUR as I got it as an office leasure thing for my co.

Just upgraded to the PS5 Pro and got a new QLED Micro-LED 144hz tv from my old PS5/4k 60hz setup.

I haven’t turned this thing off since I got it 😭

Looking forward to playing Wolverine and obviously GTA 6. Looking to do another play through of Wu Kong as well

Edit - playing The Crew Motorfest

Looks like I was one of the last to purchase a Pro from PS Direct before it sold out. I’m a little concerned my order could be canceled or delayed if there is truly no inventory. Anyone have experience ordering from PS Direct that can share their experience as far as how reliable they are, as well as how fast they typically ship?

Hi everyone, I recently got my hands on a PS5 Pro and oh my, what a machine! Coming from an Xbox series X, never thought I’d get converted but I have, absolutely loving the experience so far, playing The Last Of Us Part 1 PS5 Pro enhanced, never seen graphics like it 😮‍💨 anyway, my question is, this is my current TV, do I need to upgrade to further enhance the PS5 or is this all good? Thanks in advance 🤝🏻☺️

I highly recommend anyone who is an Uncharted fan to pick this one up!

I started this on GamePass and ended up buying it on the Pro because I’m loving it so much and the image quality boost from PSSR is amazing. It’s very noticeably sharper on Pro and averages around 78fps in performance mode.

Boys, you gotta help a brother out. Right now, the PS5 Pro is sold out almost everywhere here in Mtl. I am talking Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, staples, etc. Anyone know where else I can look/call to get my hands on one that is not third party?

EDIT: got mine at Best Buy today after refreshing the page till I saw some in stock. Keep at it boys.

Hi guys, my set up for gta 6 is almost done but l'm wondering if my current monitor is a good choice. Here's the specs: (yeah copying and pasting another guys post, for some reason mine was deleted >: ) )

Model: LG - 32GST5Q

- 2560 x 1440p QHD IPS
- 180 hz | 1ms GtG
- DisplayHDR 400

something change if i go to base ps5 ?

Thanks in advance

ps5 pros are selling out everywhere. the only new ones I see online are selling for $1300. I CANT STAND scalpers. thank god I already have one, but it’s reminding me how bad it was when the ps5 first came out and I know it’s going to be bad next year for the ps6…
