18 Gigaflops of pure gaming prowess
No games
Massive flop
Still the same CPU, (which is a gimped 3700x, down-clocked with 1/4 of the CPUs cache) and still with high latency GDDR6 ram which is bad for Ryzen's architecture. The better GPU is just for games that are GPU bottle-necked (like Immortals of Avenium which runs at what, 480-720p?) Otherwise there's the AI fake frames that Sony will market the fuck out of and convince people that 30 interpolated to 60 or higher is fine.
Look, I was a life long PlayStation kid from ps1 to the end of ps3. There is no reason in 2024 why anyone should be considering a PS or a Xbox or a Nintendo in a world where the steam deck exist. It blows traditional consoles right out of the water into the stratosphere.
The benefit of PS5 Pro is that if you want to play in 4K you would need to spend 3-4x the price of the PS5 Pro to build a capable PC able to match the PS5 Pro in the GPU department.
An additional benefit is that if you have a disc version of the PS5 you can buy second hand games and play really on the cheap. You can easily resell your games afterwards as well.
The Deck is great, but it cannot run any 4K game and it is mostly to allow you to play your games on the go or in bed/sofa.
Forgive me if this comes across bluntly but, having seen roughly no details on price or actual performance of the still unannounced PS5 Pro, are you pulling the 3-4x cost comparison out of the ether?
If the expectation is that it will increase performance by frame generation, and that's accepted (e.g. non native resolution performance), then I'd argue you could get away with a very reasonable build and upscale to 4k for a similar imaginary price point - but without any released details (or third party reviews/benchmarks), that's hard to say seriously.
Well, there is if you want to play exclusives legally.
Console exclusive games exist...
Good sir, might I proffer a touch of html for your edification and enhancement? !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com Emulation is the sensation sweeping the nation.
Lmao no my steam deck does not blow my PS5 out of the water. It’s a great system, don’t get me wrong, but it serves an entirely different niche than my PS5. My PS5 outperforms my $2500 gaming PC, and both of them run circles around the steam deck even if you throttle them to 50% power somehow.
I feel like I hear from so many people that there's not really a reason to own a PS5, given the lack of exclusives and a general feeling that nothing released so far has really pushed the hardware. And now they want to push out a "pro" so that people who already own one will feel like it's outdated? This feels like a mistake to me. I like my PS5 just fine despite the fact that the games are still available on ps4. But I have no desire to spend more at this point. And I have a feeling that the jump from PS5 pro to PS6 is going to be even smaller than the jump from ps4 pro to PS5.
A lot of games can't do high graphics and high fps
You end up with a choice in the settings menu.
It'd be nice to get both and not have to sacrifice one or the other.
45% improvement seems good if people buying PS5 pro, but not worth upgrading a PS5.
I was gonna “um akshully” you but
As a computer only person, the PS5 hardware is so powerful, it doesn’t really need more power unless more games support 1440/120+. You’re totally right.
And when are the games coming ?
Well idonno, there’s like 4 games I played on mine if I exclude things like final fantasy pixel remaster and some indies I got for cheap. The last year I played less PS5 than PS2
Thinking of picking up a ps5 for helldivers, seems like I shouldn't bother waiting for a pro version.
