News Further PlayStation 5 Pro specs leak, improvements to CPU speed, GPU, RAM, and audio

[Admin]

Following a bombshell leak of the PS5 Pro's GPU specifications with a 45% raster performance bump and an up to 3x/4x ray-tracing bump, the rest of the system specs have been revealed.

And lets rewind back to the 2016 PS4 Pro. That device was pretty much ignored by the devs once they released their games on the vanilla PS4. Gamers were begging for a serious performance boost in games like Bloodborne i.e. 60FPS in 1080p. It never happened because in 2016 i'm pretty sure the new games were being created for the unannounced PS5. I bought a PS4 Pro and there's not a whole lot between that and a regular PS4.

Perhaps Sony is trying to generate slagging sales before the PS6. I will pass on a mid-cycle release and will wait for the next step which will be the PS6.

Had a PS4 Pro as well. Many later games had exclusive graphics modes just for the Pro, you simply had to check the settings menu. I expect it'll be the same with the PS5 Pro, possibly higher levels of RT etc, seeing as how one of the improvements touted in the leaks I have seen is vastly improved RT performance.

Yes, I am aware of that and it made a subtle difference in the games I own because I still have a vanilla PS4 and PS4 Pro so I compared them. For me, it wasn't worth the upgrade. Now if I hadn't owned a launch PS4, then I would have easily jumped on the PS4 Pro.

Fair enough. In many cases it was simply a 60fps mode, which was nice, but probably not worth it for many. I do believe the Pro had faster WiFi too, now that I think of it. Our was on a wired connection anyways..

Would only be worth it if it allows for higher frame rates with VRR, but most games are locked to 60fps. If devs ignore the PS5 pro, then the extra gpu power won't really matter.

Hopefully they put it in a package that is much smaller, better looking, and less expensive than the current PS5.
If not, then I'll have no need for it in my life.

My assumption is that with a higher clock speed and a beefier gpu, they'll need a bigger cooling solution. So it's doubtful it'll be smaller.

I hope the PS5 Pro comes in a smaller package. The "supersized wifi router shape" they went with hasn't aged well at all.

I think the console's biggest problem right now is its games. I'm having trouble identifying new games to play. I feel like I only see AAA open world games and remakes on PS5. There's not enough content variety! I am getting lots of use out of the PS5's 4k bluray player though.

I am more interested in the huge NPU unit and AMD touting its AI upscaling performance. It could even ease up the GPU with ray tracing calculations. Hence the 4x RT performance claim?
