ah, those are familiar artifacts. GPU issue. Need to return and repair. Launch lottery

Ah the real reason Sony delayed PS5 in EU for a week.
Here I thought Jim Ryan betrayed us Brits but he was actually just making sure that all the shitty defective hardware was shipped to the rest of the world first while the perfect hardware was being held back for us in the second wave. Right?

My bad I didn't see all the extra examples. I only saw the black flickering boxes, which definitely looks like an HDMI issues, but those exploding vertex ones are definitely a glitch or something gpu-related.

Yup.
Anyone getting these issues should refund or exchange their system ASAP before the store's return policy ends.
DO NOT wait for a OS update or hope it's just a game patch that's needed.
You miss the retailer refund/exchange date and you're left with manufacturer's warranty which means sending it in and waiting for it to return.

Look how far he's going to pretend he's not a M$ shill!LMAO. Talk about the wrong call.DynamiteCop! has more consoles than most people have games.
Show us your Gaming Setup: 2020 Edition
Welcome to the annual NeoGAF "Show us your Gaming Setup" thread. It's that time of year again where we gather our new TVs/consoles/tech toys and start tidying up those rooms. Here you post pictures of your gaming setup, no matter the size of your room or collection. Large or small - all that...www.neogaf.com

Things break, things come off the factory floor faulty. Who cares. If it's going to break you would rather it break straight away so you can get it replaced under warranty. I'll never understand the fuss people kick up over things like this, really makes you question the maturity levels of people making a big deal about this.
If my Series X had any of these problems I'd go "damn, guess I'll contact MS support and get it replaced".

Visual artifact's are typically an issue with overclocked component's, simply - Cerny stated the PS5 is overclocked by citing "We increased frequency speeds" and the variable frequencies are not keeping the component's cool enough to properly handle heat issues that arise from throttling the CPU and GPU. Plainly, as an avid Hardcore Overclocking Enthusiast for 18 years and Computer Scientist - I recommend piping cool air directly toward the Console - this may completely alleviate some issues. On the other hand, if the overclocks applied have ruined the component's of the PS5 this adjustment will barely make a noticeable impact.

As the title implies, Some PS5 users have a problem of visual artifacts
For the given silicon quality yield, it's pushing the GPU too far.
On PC AIB cards, the same RTX 2080 has several different grades with very good silicon quality being placed in AIB's high OC SKU.
Good quality silicon usually has lower resistance characteristics.

Had this happen to my Day One Release Xbox One. Ended up being GPU, had to return and swap through Microsoft.
Exactly better now than before the warranty runs out. Its like these people have never been around system launches. Some are broken out of the factory things get better as production goes on. If you cant deal with a low chance of an issue wait. I hate the whole social media blows everything out of proportion.
This is good quality bait: 100% true information but used for trolling purposes.

Would overclock again

If it's true it's not trolling, I can't control the way people react to what I say. People losing their shit and being insecure is anything but my problem.
Ain't afraid of ghosts, bricked consoles, CPU stalls, screen tearing. Brave ones only die once, cowards die every single day of their life.

Had the same problem with my R9 280 GPU from Asus , cuz they did not put thermal pads on VRAM and I had to put them myself so I could enjoy playin' Ryse Son of Rome.

If this is effecting both the PS5 and XSX, perhaps the issue stems from batches of their APUs made by TSMC.

Yap until we see a 7nm gpu push past 2ghz comfortably, the yield quality is a question mark.
Those artefacts looks more like the gpu core struggling and puffing in an oc, as its stability to process geometry and what no is out of sync
Ram oc issues are more colored dots and flickers, rather than breaking up triangles as you seen above.

It's at the edge of stability, may not be broken yet. Sony can just issue firmware updates and reduce the boost clocks, no one will know and be the wiser off.
Or update the fan speeds. If it’s heat related . Maybe they knew in real world that this could happen and made the fans updatable .It's at the edge of stability, may not be broken yet. Sony can just issue firmware updates and reduce the boost clocks, no one will know and be the wiser off.

I doubt they'll choose fan speeds, which is noticeable.
Lowering the boost clocks range sound more likely. Nobody will find out.
I guess we can draw more clues soon when 6800 launches, to see how realistic a 2.23ghz 'continuous boost clocks' are in a restraint console design

Well I was always curious why the would make the fans updatable .. what was the use-case ... seems it’s related to this .

Yeah I can see them dropping the clocks via firmware patch rather than a full recall, save them a fortune.

Even lowering GPU speed to 2.15ghz turns PS5 into sub 10TFlop machine. I'm not sure if they want to do that. That just looks bad from PR point of view.

Yes but how would you know what clocks ps5 is running now and in future? Sony also put a 'variable' get out of jail card.

With overclocking, voltage increase can clear up signal integrity, but it can spiral into increase electron leakage -> increase heat ---> increase resistance --> increase electrical noise --> increase voltage and 'etc'.

A full recall for a handful of dodgy gpus? Get a grip, you completely ignored it has happened on the SX too.

You guys are way too on edge. It was an observation. A similar thing happens on PC (artifacting) when VRAM is OCed. Not saying this is the issue with PS5. But its definitely GPU related.

That's about the space I had for mine before opting to go vertical on the floor. I stuck my hand in there and I just wasn't comfortable with the temp.

I did the same and felt the same. But I went and got my IR Thermometer and have yet to register over 94.x degrees Fahrenheit. So still well within the safe range. But will continue to monitor. During Ghost of Tsushima gameplay I have yet to get above 85 degrees when I go to the pause menu it VERY quickly drops to ~78 degrees. All "testing' done in a 70 degree room.
Vaulty GPU or memory.
Can always happen with new hardware.
The real problem I see with this, is that the customers that send in their consoles might need a long breath to wait for their replacement.
When I last upgraded my CPU (Ryzen 3700x) the first CPU that was send to me was defect. Or one core was defect. The system immediately slowed down by a lot when the core was under pressure. I had to send it in. But this always reminds me, that things like this are not so rare nowadays. Also had to send back my b450 motherboard from asus because it was defect after one day (it did just not start anymore) and I'm really careful with hardware. A few years ago, a internet shop send me a defective motherboard (pins were bend into the wrong direction), ...
I don't upgrade my system so often, but it feels like hardware-defects are much more common these days.

Is this definitely a hardware issue, These consoles are brand new, surely they are tested before they ship, wouldn't these issues come up in that process?
They don't get tested so into that details. Maybe tested if they boot up, but that's it and there is still a tiny percentage of consoles are dead on arrival.
Maybe Sony must select their chips a bit better, we will see this when the consoles are used by more users. Because of the higher frequencies and the desired (and dynamic) power-targets for the CPU & GPU, testing the chips can get really hard. The more complex a system is, the easier it is to create errors and not detect them.
But the test-samples that review-sites get, are normally pretested and selected so they don't send them faulty stuff (which could have a negative impact on the review).

Yeah no clue why this is being made a big deal (again).
Literally every console has GPU failures in the first batches unless it's massively underclocked for thermals. Even then.

nah, all they need to do is to make sure that the chips actually are fit to handle the high clocks.
the higher the clock speed the lower the tolerance for small imperfections during manufacturing.
this could increase built cost at first but that's what they have to do should this actually be a wide spread problem, which we don't even know atm.

Yeah they definitely need to scrap this and create a new one

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Yeah this is a good thought.. it's probably just chips in the wild that aren't as good as the ones not seeing these problems.
Just the nature of producing such chips.. they actually aren't all created equally.
The high clock speeds are probably a factor here though.. but it's not that the PS5 is clocked "too high".. it's just clocked.. higher.. so naturally won't have the same tolerance for faulty chips.

I have not had any of these issues. Well, let's see if the update that came today fixes it.
