PS 4 Pro?

[Amiga Forever]

When I look on what can do. It seem can Offer better Textures, Lighting, Framerate and it is really worth buying it when PS 5 may come out in 2018?

I havnt forgot about xbox scorpio that do 6.9 Teraflop and how much game will improve? Little bit of upscale of 4K?

 

[Doma]

Well, there is always a new console "around the corner"

If you really want performance, it would be better to just invest in a proper PC.

That way you can actually get 60fps with your 4K

 

[rootboy]

But not be able to play your Xbox/PS games on it...

 

[Sardine]

only issue with a "Proper PC" is the cost,, 4k at 60fps around £1000 ?? + a 4k monitor at whatever they cost.

With a PS4 or Xbox One... the games will just work,,, no worries about drivers, virus's , hardware configurations etc........ Put the Games disk in, install and play. if it was only that easy on a PC.

I had a really good gaming PC, the ONLY component at the time that needed upgrading was the GPU, the cost of the GPU i needed was more than an Xbox One with games.

I don't think it's worth upgrading if you already have one.

Scorpio could be a game changer but will have to wait and see, PS4 pro is for fanboys at this stage.

PC master race and all that but it's a slippy slope to upgrade and chase the fabled 4K 60fps without dropping £1k.

The question is, do you need it? Need it, in a 'need' it sense...

 

[Retro-Protect]

You may pay over £1k for a decent pc but at least it won't melt like a ps or Xbox after a few months.

LOL the PS Pro is still a little slower than my old / lounge PC which has an AMD / ATI 7970 in it and that was released 2012

 

[Retrograde]

I'd wait for tests when the product is actually out and people have run games on it.
Call me sceptical but these 8.5 generation consoles will have a hard time running everything at 3840x2160 with the same settings and performance as 1920x1080.

Time will tell.

In a time where Sony launches PsVR, which taxes the poor little ps4 like crazy with twice the renders and twice the framerate, calling those who opt for it with a derogatory term like fanboy - that is pretty stupid.

4k gaming will not be a game changer. it will be like playing games in a slighly higher resolution. I rather do 1080p with higher fidelity and frame rate.

 

[Sardine]

you cannot compare PC specs to console even if they utilise native x86 components,.

for example
Xbox 360
Processor: 3.2Ghz Tri-core PowerPC
RAM: 512Mb GDDR3 @ 700Mhz (shared with GPU)
GPU: ATI Xenos (Which is the equivalent of a ATI Radeon 1800XT or possibly x1900/50xt)
Game Media DVD Rom drive (with optional HDD install)

the CPU in the Xbox 360 is probably around the Core2Duo performance or Pentium4 Dual core.


the biggest issue with PC gaming is lazy programming ,,, yup those nice fancy game engines V4 or whatever suckup resources faster than a kid in a sweep shop.

I've said this before but........ on release day the Xbox 360 was impressive but nothing was "WOW" unlike the 1st time i saw a voodoo 1 and ultimate race pro on a Pentium 1 pc.

look at the games now...

OMG!!!

Grand theft auto V or Skyrim on the xbox 360 looks amazing for what the hardware is.

Try and even LOAD either game on a pc with 512mb ram, run it from a DVD rom drive with a comparable radeon 1800xt (possibly x1900/50xt) graphics card that shares the system ram like intel GMA does.

I'm still playing Mad Max on Xbox One, I think its amazing (already completed once), my only issue is lazy programming will return (and has already) to the latest x86 consoles.

what I mean is developers and programmers had to squeeze and use every trick to get every tiny bit of power out of an Xbox 360 to run games that just keep amazing me.
with the Xbox One they have already given up as they dont need to,, just wait for a faster Xbox One to arrive...... pfft!!!

lazy lazy lazy.

Never know with Xbox, but Sony have the base ps4 with its user base of millions as base model and the pro as a higher end one. so all games should work well on both.

PS4 can run PSVR just fine
PS4 Pro has 'options' for developers to improve resolution and/or increased texture and effects quality

If you already have a PS4 - what's the point?

Hold on...I don't care!

 

[Bastich]

The PS4 can not even manage 60fps @ 1080p reliably (GTA5 for example). This is only rendering one screens worth so doubling the overhead for stereo rendering is never going to be great without reducing geometry or texture detail. The Vive and I believe the Oculus have issues if the fps drops below 45fps.

you can checked out the comparions between PS 4 and PS 4 pro

Only little different !

P.S. I think new games of next year is going look better but that about it.

I can see that the lighting is better, or at least different, and maybe they use more demanding shaders.
Whether it's because of higher resolution, well I dunno, I'm viewing a compressed youtube stream on a 1920x1200 monitor.

The graphics processor is beefier in PS4 Pro, or does it have two? Can't find conclusive info. Anyway it should be able to do more processing, regardless of resolution.
Anyway, more GPU power means either higher quality, higher resolution or a combo of both, but I don't think it means 2160p for everything.

Personally I don't think resolution is the end-all to graphics fidelity, so it's not terribly important for me, but it feels like the marketing is a bit misleading.
