and if you dont think the storage will make all the difference in the world why dont you try removing your ssd and replacing it with a spinning disk hard drive! lol
A hard drive won't change fps and many gamers still use hard drives. I use an ssd because I do stuff other than gaming with my pc which you can't do with a console.

You still did not read my post lol?
What does an SSD have to do woth FPS lol?
You never read an NVMe vs SATA ssd review? I will save you time and tell you that it makes 0 fps difference. Even loading time aren't much faster. Now what else will you invent? See who's the fanboy now?
you must be a moron pc games have to be programmed for the lowest common denominator to make sure they will atleast run or they are locking out everyone that doesnt have a fast pc like yours, the console games will be programmed especially for the high bandwidth memory subsystem, like i said i wont get down on you when i see you standing in line waiting to buy a console because i will be there probably further up inline than you lol

you seem like one of those that has to see it to believe it even and even then you will be in denial trying to justify the high price you paid for your pc nitpicking at little things like well my pc can atleast do this, my pc can atleast do that , i can atleast surf the web while im sitting in a chair, etc. etc. etc. though your stating to get glimpses of what next gen gaming is gonna be like you insist that you pc is and always will be the almighty, you probably think the corona virus is a lie too because all you have seen is glimpse on tv, lol.

Unreal Engine 5 demo showing off what PlayStation 5, Zen 2, and RDNA 2 can do on next-gen console and current PC hardware.

Performance aside, is anyone concerned this is Sony? Does that make no one hesitate?

Their PS3 was the last console I bought, because I learned the hard way it would only play region-locked Blu-Ray movies, not region-free versions. And, years later, when Bethesda released Skyrim Special Edition, Sony was not a particularly receptive partner in making the game moddable on PS4.

I'm currently playing a 10 year old game I've never played before, and I'm okay with its graphics.

Nothing of that demo puts a PC to shame in any way. You're talking about half the story here.

A 2060S would run that demo eyes closed. Even my 1080 would....

You're talking about a 1440p, 30FPS demo. That won't even represent a real case scenario, where developers want to push 4K at 60FPS :)

So, if you ask me if that is actual gameplay? For me it´s not. It's a demo showcasing the software developments and upgrades that Unreal Engine Suffered in its fifth version, and it's about what they can do with such new techniques in PS5´s hardware. Yes, its impressive, I don't say it isn´t, but is as misleading as is impressive. Now let's put things like this: Let's ask developers to make the same demo and optimize it for the Tensor Cores, RT Cores and Raster CUDA cores using, let's say, a 2060S... Wouldn't they achieve 4K 30 FPS, if they wanted it?

I remember a few years ago that I would sware to jump from my 1080 to a VEGA 64 .. You see, there are 12 pure, and beautiful TFLOPS there... When I saw benchmarks I wanted to cry, and at the same time thank to god. 1080 was still faster even with "only" 8.9 TFLOPS, but rather a much more optimized raster engine... RTX followed the incredible optmized raster engine (made for gaming, not for computing) , adding additional Tensor (AI) and RT processors, with 12 Tflops on the same based configuration of Maxwell on their Raster engine... So 12 nvidia TFLOPS on a 2080TI, would be like 30TFLOPS on AMD. Imagine DLSS for instance, that is nothing, but brilliant... 70% gains in some games, with a true cinematic anti aliasing... So These are real hardware developments in which developers don´t dedicate their time and attention properly, and then go to the console, Sony pays millions and they do the marketing. So.. yeah.. it´s, after all a question of marketing and not a tecnhical crown.

And of course, don't forget that there are always those who say "Yeah but can build a PC at the price of a console??"

yes, i can. DEFINITELY.

Why?

Because you pay the console, and pay the anual online services during 8 years...

I love how PC fanboys get their tail feathers so ruffled by this. Yes it’s true the next GEN consoles are like a VERY high end PC get over it

I game exclusively on consoles since the Xbox 360. I have lots more fun not having to screw with drivers and windows updates ha ha Ha all I do is turn it on and play and have fun while PC fan boys get to tinker Endlessly with their PC

I know where you're coming from, but the days of needing to check drivers, install Direct X etc are long gone. Now I just update the graphics driver once a year - auto updates could take care of that if desired.

Sure beats the constant struggles during the nineties of messing with config.sys and autoexec.bat to find the right IRQ for the soundblaster to work for each game!

I'd be interested in a link to a source for that information.
Well as other already stated a link to source maybe?


i doubt that! :)
I have the AMD slide on my PC - but insert image wants a URL.
https://www.game-debate.com/news/27...loud-based-ray-traced-rendering-for-navi-gpus this contains the same slide.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/what-amd-plans-ray-tracing/ little more current.

https://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/amd-radeon-image-sharpening-dlss-ray-tracing-e3-2019/

"AMD reaffirmed that ray tracing would eventually need to include hardware acceleration, but gave no clear indication when that would appear in future cards. AMD also mentioned that the eventual solution would move to “full scene ray tracing leveraging cloud computing,” though it didn’t elaborate more on how that would happen "

Unless RT became incredibly easy do to some unseen 4x increase in compute power - would seem that they are still current. Neither of the APUs in the mostly identical next gen consoles are massive leaps ahead of a high end PC - so seems that leveraging the cloud would still be in the mix.

I think the biggest advancements will be when the devs determine what scenes would benefit from RT and which would not. BF5 was a terrible idea - any fast paced FPS gets no benefit from RT... while a game like GTA5 or Skyrim or Witcher would be the type where RT would make sense, and offer a more immersive experience.

Was a more hands on, figure it out yourself time. MAYBE you had access to a BBS for a little help - but even then was still not for the weak. "I have slain the Twin Dragons of DMA and IRQ and I tower above them in victory until the next battle"
