You can close the thread. My PS5 arrived. Look at that RT goodness!

If software could achieve actual real world high SSD speeds that easily, Sony would have went with a standard off the shelf SSD too and saved some money. I wouldn’t base development testing on anything. You can achieve a lot of things when doing early test. Full game running is a different story.

In any case, whatever tricks SX is doing in software PS5 already does faster in hardware. With software aided like Kraken it’s even faster.

I don't think he tries to imply that.

Jim Ryan did an interview with Arabian site '' true gaming ''

he spoke about a lot of stuff around support for middle east and stuff... but they ask him about playstation exclusives coming to PC

and he answered: we will do games on pc in this age of high costing production and blockbusters games but we will do it in a manner that

does not piss off our playstation fans as they are the most important for us


good stuff

Sounds like a few years old ports to me.

This whole "tools" argument is a bit odd. If the tools weren't ready then what the heck were MS building Halo Infinite with? That was their flagship launch game for the next gen, their killer app. Would they really risk delivering the next gen Halo experience with an incomplete tool set that wouldn't let them identify bottlenecks and things that weren't as optimal as possible?

Hey, maybe they did risk it, which would explain what we saw and the reaction from gamers?

It's Microsoft after all, if you ever came across their development tools, outside the consoles, just anything. You simply know. Or hell, Windows itself.

I'm wondering, how are the download speeds on next-gen consoles from XBL/PSN compared to current-gen? Because I haven't seen it being discussed anywhere yet. Are they the same, better? I saw once a tweet mentioning that PSN bandwidth is getting quite a boost on the PS5, but haven't read anything about it ever since, it it true? Can you guys share you ISP connections and te download speeds you are getting on your PS5/XSX?

Guys I have Razer thresher 7.1 that I used for my PS4. Now the problem is the ps5 doesn’t have an optical port, but my TV has one so can I connect the headset on my TV direct? Or should I connect the USB wireless on ps5 then the optical on TV ?! I really have no idea please help

Edit :

I connected the USB wireless and the optical on TV direct and I think that worked .. please share if there is anything extra I should do

if you go over optical you lose your tempest option and it uses the headsets vss instead. But if it has chat mix you regain it.

NMS isn't very happy with the update on PS5 mind. Hates HDR so that has to go off, then there's some bug with the texture LOD that makes the ones nearer you revert to low res. It's weird as anything but I suspect an easy fix by Hello.

I wish I could find a recommended 27-32 inches monitor for the PS5.
It looks like my desk setup plans are screwed?

It's much faster than my PS4 pro was. I ran the internet connection test just one time yesterday and got 889.2 Mbps down. I've got a 1Gb fiber connection and the PS5 is wired. My ps4 pro usually capped out around ~350 down.

Right after I ran the test I downloaded Monster Hunter World plus Iceborne and it took ~10 min total.

Not really, there are some upcoming 27-32" 4K PC monitors with HDMI 2.1 and high refresh rate, perfectly suitable for the new consoles:

-ASUS ROG SWIFT PG32UQX
-Acer XV282K KV
-Eve Spectrum

For a monitor, the 144 Hz ones at 4K are expensive for a monitor, getting into TV territory for a desktop.

The acer looks interesting, or get an ASUS TUF 144 hz but 1440p, should downscale fine from 4k

Difficult one, as 60 Hz output would be better on the 60 Hz panel, but you miss the 120 Hz option for some game modes.

That Eve Spectrum is supposedly ~650$, so quite a good deal for the performance, if someone is limited by space and cannot opt for the 48" TVs. Although you're right, knowing that 120Hz titles will be as hard to find as a unicorn, a 60Hz panel would be more suitable, but I guess HDMI 2.1 comes in bundle with high refresh rate.

I have a large LG OLED etc for big screen gaming, wanted a small monitor 28-32" for a desk that is also good for ps5 for sons room. 48" is too big to sit at a desk.

But cant find one yet

Me sitting in front of my 55" TV at a desk disagrees. It's not good for your eyes, but hey, my vision is kinda shot anyway. ;)

Same as me, but i sit about 8 ft away from the LG OLED

For desktop, I am looking at the 27GL850

Or Asus TUF equivalnt, for COD I like to see the whole screen and see the map quickly, so my LG OLED is just too big, need a fast monitor to kill he little lovelys.

I ended up settling on a monitor for productivity because the gaming monitor scene is so expensive, and... doesn't mix well with productivity purposes.

But man my 4k monitor designed for productivity looks like ass compared to even my cheaper 1440p gaming monitor I had lol
