Playstation 5 insanity

Looking forward to seeing what Cerny brings this time. 'Hoping xbox brings it's A-game too.

I mean vega supports ray tracing tech just not NVs implementation of it.

Modern GPU´s in general does, what they did with the RTX line is put in dedicated hardware (them RT cores) to do the raycasting so the GPU can do all the normal rendering stuff without having to ALSO do the very expensive raycasts.
A task which I think compute cores on a modern GPU is somewhat suboptimal at doing.

So the question isnt "will the gpu support it?", it´s will the new consoles have some dedicated Raytracing component to them to offload that stuff off of what is essentially a integrated low power GPU.
Doing raytracing even with dedicated hardware, still puts additional strain on the GPU to denoise and do some post processing to not have it all blotchy and stuff.
 
Fck 4k, keep it 1080p and give me fantastic textures, shaders, geometry, draw distance, high frame rates, etc.

*What I mean is, prioritize things other than resolution first and then if people want to go 4k drop quality or frame rate in other areas like on PC (I know this may be hard to execute, esp due to marketing departments).

People think 4k is free.. it isn't, resolution comes at a cost.

Crazy talk, it's time to let 1080P go. I'll argue you can't have what you want at 1080P. 4k gives you the option to have those clearer textures, and what's the point of having that massive draw distance if you can't make out what that blurry/misfigured object is in the distance?

We already get this in games right NOW. Not true 4k, but certainly higher resolution than 1080P. I can change the resolution and it's painfully obvious it's in 1080P. There is no reason the next generation of hardware shouldn't be 4k. Supporting 8k is just plain stupid from a hardware/performance level, but also from a point of diminishing returns. Unless people start playing from 100"+ size TV's.
 
I too think native 4k is overrated (and too costly!); while I don't advocate for 1080P from frame start to finish, I believe in rendering at an intermediate resolution and temporally up-scaling to 4k.
 
Unless there is some exclusive out of this world video game on the ps5, i'll pass. (Not really any exclusive must play games on ps4 to be honest as I have most of those and they don't get played lol)

There are TONS of exclusive must play games on PS4. That's the entire reason to own the system over the XBox...which basically has none.
 
I can’t wait for the next PlayStation. Would be good to get rid of thinking about graphics for a year.

Agreed, I forgot to mention that, most upscaling solutions seem to be good enough.
 
Although I'm not much of a gamer anymore, I like how video games are progressing. Console loyalists can stick with PlayStation/Nintendo, and PC gamers can support the Xbox when the two platforms are merged as one (obviously Microsoft's ultimate goal). With news how the Xbox app can allow PC to directly stream games directly to your TV, this can only can better.
 
Consoles with a cpu that does not get demolished by something as old as a sandy bridge cpu will be nice.

I mostly agree with your take on this.

If Sony were smart and wanted to do the right thing, rather than just trying to always give the best visuals possible and to win the specs war, they would first and foremost make 1080p/60fps the standard required baseline for all games released on the PS5. Of course then with the option of higher resolutions with lower framerate. But if there's even one game on PS5 that runs 30fps at 1080p it will be a disgrace. We should be past that by now.

But they wont do this. They will tout "8K resolution for best graphics ever!!" as a marketing ploy. No one is asking for higher resolution than 4K. Do we really even need 4K gaming? I suppose people who game on 70" screens but that's not most people. Get the issues of 30fps out of the way first before higher res.

I would love to buy a new xbox that lets me play older pc games. UT2k4 with mouse & keyboard support!
