I think Sony may have made a mistake.
Not by pricing the PS5 Pro at $700 or ditching the disc drive (which can always be lowered or bundled), but by trying to demonstrate the PS5 Pro’s graphical improvements using bandwidth-limited compressed YouTube videos.
I say this because I’m currently watching Sony’s demo of a native 5.3GB video file on a 4K OLED screen, and I think enterprises can really do this Name the differences in some of these games. That’s not necessarily the case on YouTube.
But I don’t want you to take my word for it. I hope you download the lossless PNG screenshot I just captured so you can join me in pixel-peeping and decide for yourself!
IMPORTANT NOTE: Don’t right click To download the images you see below, you don’t even need to left-click on them – they’re just visual aids so you know which image you’re getting. Left click on the link in each header Load the images, then download them; each file should be well over 4MB in size. Ideally, you should display them on a large 4K screen like the one you use on your PlayStation.
The examples above are a comparison of PS5 Pro and the original PS5’s faster frame rate “Performance” mode, and they’re designed to show how you don’t have to sacrifice graphics to get a smooth 60fps speed. But if you’re willing to tolerate the lower framerate of Fidelity mode, the advantages are less obvious:
Sony didn’t provide comparison images for each game, but here are images of other games to represent the PS5 Pro’s graphics:
if you are real Focus, I guess you could even try to find the same moment in the same game on your own PS5, grab a screenshot of your own, and use Nvidia’s ICAT tool to peer at the pixels like a pro.
Isn’t it ridiculous that we’ve gotten to this point? perhaps! But I don’t want you to think there is no difference between PS5 and PS5 Pro graphics cards at 60fps:
There’s definitely a difference – it just might not be worth the $700 to you.
