Frame tearing is totally illiminated, the game is still dropping the frames but tearing is the GPU output and the TV refresh being different, that doesn't happen with VRR.

didn't digital foundry say that cyberpunk was pretty awful with vrr?

That’s nobody’s definition of ‘more powerful’... :messenger_tears_of_joy: (fanboys aside)

Of course it is the definition.

Otherwise you'd have more powerful hardware running games worse, it would be very confusing

It's just the overall power is more than gpu and cpu power, something many here have trouble to grasp.

PS5 has a lot of hardware customizations : custom geometry engine, unified L3 cache, cache scrubbers, ultra fast ssd, faster clock due to a smart variable frequency system...

That's what makes it more powerful overall and that's why it runs games better.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
So there is if you don't have a VRR TV? Got it. 😂
Don't worry, the PS5 may get VRR Soony too. Then you will all be circle jerking over it as much as Riky Riky . Until then...

And there is on the PS5 even if you have a VRR TV. I guess there wasn't enough Cerny sauce left over to fix an actual problem after it was all spent on cache scrubbers :messenger_smirking:

At least them cache scrubbers made the PS5 more powerful than XSX so it tears 5x less than XSX and renders at a higher resolution with better frame-rates 😂 Plus, VRR is coming in an update on PS5.

From 15:40 talking about vvr, what does John say about it?

Hendrick's Hendrick's since you like lol at my other post, this is for you too. enjoy


But it DIPS PRETTY HARD. "lollipop_disappointed:


I think you're misunderstanding what he says, he says the game dips hard and VRR will help that. He then says but it does dip pretty hard, he doesn't mean during VRR. I'd listen to that again.

Haha, no way. It's still a niche feature that likely supports only 1% of console players. Plus, it does not affect or determine how powerful a console is.
Its the new Xforce rally cry, VRR and VRR TVs. It somehows magically fixed all the 3rd party comparisons. Can't wait for the next savior to arrive.

The game still dips with vvr, what is there to know?

It's not great. he says it, if vvr was some silver bullet it would not dip.persiod.

The game still fucking sucks even with that.

Yes, it's hilarious how Xbox fanboys cling to VRR as the solution to Series X having lower framerate.

VRR doesn't replace the missing frames, you're still running bad. You still have increased lag between frames resulting in less responsive controls.

It's better to have more frames like on PS5.

VRR will be available on both consoles anyway for the 1 % of gamers who have a VRR TV, because it's part of the HDMI 2.1 official specs. It's written on the box on both consoles, they support HDMI 2.1. Both console makers could be sued if HDMI 2.1 wasn't supported.

Yeah, the replies from some on Team Xbox is the problem.

The denial is strong. Instead of trying to understand and accept, the double down continues.....

Just remember, alot of y'all conditioned some to expect way better Series X performance. While some of us expected things to be close.

This might be a repeat of the PS360 gen, and only amazing Series X exclusives can even things out.

Remember, if/when the PS5 starts coming up short in these face offs, this was expected. Not BC face offs...ppl please....stop

Y'all created a no win situation, and some of us said this months ago, because of all the dumb ass FUD. Basically handed Sony, the PS5 amazing pr for forum folks, ppl like us that hang out on forums like this. All yall had to to was just be normal, humble...

The race to declare a winner here is bordering on desperate from some of you.

It’s like throwing one punch in a boxing match that barely grazes the opponent then dancing around with your arms in the air like it’s over.

The specs say Series X is more powerful - you can spin and argue all you like, and talk of ‘Cenry juice’ (cringe) but it’s true, yet as on the other hand Sony fans like to point out, Microsoft hasn’t even released a game on its own hardware yet.

Gears Hivebusters looks stunning, and it’s funny how so many conveniently ignore that the biggest and most important release to date on the new consoles has been ‘called’ for the Series X (waits for spin) But there still are not anywhere near enough games to make a definitive judgment on performance (not power, that one was over long ago)

You all need to calm down a bit, because right now all we have that’s worthwhile are the raw specs.

My prediction, for what it’s worth (which is nothing) is that Series X will, in time, be proven to be the better performer, Microsoft’s gaming output will drastically improve and none of it will matter - they will get trounced in sales (but still do well) and Sony fanboys will continue to relentlessly defend their chosen brand as better. In the meantime I’ll keep playing on both, plus PC.

Yeah, besides Sony has explicitly confirmed that VRR is coming on the PS5. And it isn't just the PS5 thing. Their Sony X900H TV will also be updated with VRR, likely at the same time.

But the future that both consoles will have, is used by only 1% of the console population, and in no way changes the actual rendering power of the console has become the biggest, most important thing in a console war because of a certain group of fanboys who can't take an L. 😂

I think that's the point everyone is arguinng. The "specs" do not say Series X is more powerful. Only one spec (TF) in one component (GPU) says that XSX is more powerful than PS5.

If we are just going to by just one metric of one component, why can't we say "2.23 > 1.83, so PS5 is more powerful"?

(it sounds stupid, doesn't it? that's how we feel when someone says 12 > 10 so XSX > PS5)

lol yes. Also, to be fair though, NO ONE brought it up before launch, because really there isn't much to it. It's just an excuse.

Before launch, the narrative was "MS has surprised Sony. Sony is rushing to launch the PS5. Sony wasn't even prepared. Sony isn't showing anything because they weren't even preparing to launch in 2020."

Now after launch, it is a very different story that "Sony was just ahead in software. XSX is still the most powerful console." lol.

You don't understand what VRR does do you😅

It doesn't stop the game losing frames, nobody claims it does. What it does is force the TV refresh to match the GPU output, this eliminates any screen tearing and smooths out all the judder.
You may still feel some controller latency but since the vast majority of dips are brief you probably won't notice that and you won't see any judder on screen.

As I've said before an easy way to see this is the Italian track on Dirt 5, without VRR you come around one corner to a long straight and you can see the framerate stutter, turn on VRR and it's totally smooth. It makes a massive difference to the like of Valhalla too.

PS5 GPU is more powerful than XSX GPU in some ways.

All i know Riky old chap is that John says it still dips a lot. its there plain and simple to see in the video, like i said if vvr was some wonder cure they would just state it at the front of the video and say, VVR solves all issues, they don't.

sony is not even using it atm, and they are smashing xbox in games, so when Vrr comes out for sony its even more of a game over for xbox? are you really saying that.

It's not just one spec, it's the three most important specs for graphics. A bigger GPU that has more compute units and a higher teraflop count that doesn't downclock.
Higher peak memory bandwidth with 10gb being substantially faster, Valhalla for example only uses 6.5gb.
A faster CPU as well.

All the RDNA2 features that once baked into next gen engines will increase performance above and beyond those three advantages mentioned.

I would stop if I were you, you don't know what you're talking about. Listen to what John actually says, VRR helps when the framerate drops. If you want further confirmation go to the Valhalla and Black Ops comparisons or better still the HDMI 2.1 video they did recently where they explain it perfectly.

Y'all managed to join ResetEra to cancel one dude who is a reliable insider on Capcom stuff because he said that he heard/saw RE8 running not well on PS5.

I mean... no? This is the kind of deluded nonsense that rubs people the wrong way. As a multi console owner it’s so frustrating - it’s way too early to judge and performance has been - without the use of a fucking microscope - almost entirely indistinguishable.

Save up and buy both.

It's interesting that some are claiming early, unoptimized ports are not a good way to judge between them now but at the launch of consoles unoptimized ports will always favor the more powerful system.

Now when the console is mature things look better due to software efficiency and trickery to exploit a better image.

More powerful = better overall at what it's made for, running games.

Hence the PS5 being more powerful. It doesn't depend only on CPU and GPU.
It can easily depend on the GPU since every single part of PS5's GPU is more powerful than XSX's. This is a fact by the way not a comment. The same applies for the CPU 'if' PS5 has unified L3 cache.

A faster CPU as well.

All the RDNA2 features that once baked into next gen engines will increase performance above and beyond those three advantages mentioned.

1. It is definitely NOT the most important spec. Multiple developers have confirmed that they have never even used TFlop as a metric when developing games.

2. The memory setup is clearly better on the PS5. Ask any developer, and they will confirm that the dual memory setup is a pain in the arse. You have to manually redirect where each data should go. The average total memory speed is pretty much the same on both consoles, but the unified setup gives PS5 the edge.

3. PS5's CPU has been performing than XSX's consistently. That's why PS5 performs better in 120 Hz mode than XSX. One of the big reasons is that on-paper it is only 100 MHz faster. However, the CPU in the PS5 does not have to do any decompression because of a separate decompression unit that is 400% more powerful than XSX. It doesn't appear in the spec sheet often, but it does show up in performance. Then there is the rumored Unified Cache that might also be doing its job.

As we all know, PS4 pro having identical number of CU and bigger overall GPU in terms of die space in the SoC is more powerful than PS5.

Someone just finished explaining to you how one spec does not make XSX more powerful and you double down with same nonsense. If it is more powerful why is it not showing in the games? Please don't say tools.

There's nothing I hate more than a dumbass who relishes is his ignorance.

Name calling, grow up.

I'll tell you why and I've had this told me. All the games so far are last gen games, some just released later than the next gen consoles. They all work on last gen engines, Valhalla, Watch Dogs, Call Of Duty etc.

I was told that moving from PS4 Pro to PS5 was very easy, the tools have barely changed and you even have the same number of compute units for your load. You get a big clock boost, you get a big increase in Ram at a higher bandwidth and a huge increase on the CPU side. That is why it was so easy for Cyberpunk to just run the PS4 Pro version at 60fps.

For Xbox it's a bit more complicated , not sure about the tools late scenario but the GDK isn't as familiar and has more changes than Sony, you do get the benefits of Ram and CPU increase but there is substantially more work to be done for the wider GPU that isn't just a big clock speed increase. So you need more optimization to get the same results and time has been short with working from home and getting games ready for launch date.

When we get to next gen engines the picture will be different.

Dude, really? He literally spread false information. For RE8, he even said that he did because the console war was getting too one sided. Matt wiped the floor with him on Twitter when he asked for more information.

None of DG's information was proved to be correct: Silent Hills, PS5 being more expensive, PS5 being worse performing, RE8 gameplay showcase on PC, etc.

And we're still supposed to give credence to his claims?
