Pretty solid performance, I'm just surprised it drops below 60fps. I'd imagine it would have more headroom than that.

Back compat doesnt use PS5 optimally

A bunch of performance is left on the table

If it was a native app, it could easily run at 60 at 4k

On pc ds3 is very gpu heavy. Could not run on 4k60 even on 2070.
But 1080p60 should be easy

 

[MasterCornholio]

I'm guessing it used to be 30FPs till it received an update. Still i wish it was a native port because that would allow the resolution to be even higher. Pretty solid performance IMO.

It had an unlocked framerate mode on the pro. Mostly averaged out in the 50s. That's what this is.

Ok I didn't know that. I thought it was an FPS boost update like what Ghosts got for example.

The game has to be programmed weirdly as it will have a few hitches, but not run hotter than idle on PC.

Exactly, regardless if it's in BC mode. This shouldn't be an issue @ 1080p. Although it doesn't drop often, or much at all, so that's good.

Even on PC the game runs a little weird. I shouldn't get any drops at all on my system but they still happen.

@ 1080p?

 

[MasterCornholio]

@ 1080p?

Yep and that's with a 1070Ti. Although I game at 1440P due to getting the same level of performance. The engine is a bit weird at times.

I will admit that the dips are extremely rare.

 

[cireza]

Was the game patched recently ?

 

[Thief1987]

It drops two times in cutscene on camera cuts, that's all. In gameplay it's absolutely locked 60, beside 1 dropped frame, where nothing really happens on the screen, which may be just vsync bug or streaming hitch. And looks like he even tried to stress test the GPU with heavy alpha effects close to camera, dozen of enemies on the screen, etc., and still framerate doesn't budge.

I run 4K/60 max settings on a 1080ti.

 

[rofif]

I run 4K/60 max settings on a 1080ti.

Correct. 2070 did about 50 to 55fps. 1080ti is a tiny bit faster maybe

 

[Skifi28]

It was patched years ago for the pro, the game runs like this on PS5 since day one. I imagine the recent boost it got on the xbox made these channels remember it exists for comparison's sake.

Can vouch for this considering that's my exact setup

 

[Moonjt9]

I wouldn't call one dropped frame in the entire test dropping below 60fps. I've done two playthroughs on ps5, and it's so good. Ds3 at 60fps is heaven.

 

[MaKTaiL]

Pretty solid performance, I'm just surprised it drops below 60fps. I'd imagine it would have more headroom than that.

Are you really complaining about a single instance of dropped frame?

 

[Shmunter]

Man gonna have to Git Gud at the series. Still have not picked up Demons remastered on PS5 because I'm totally clueless here

 

[Md Ray]

Exactly, regardless if it's in BC mode. This shouldn't be an issue @ 1080p. Although it doesn't drop often, or much at all, so that's good.

GPU clocks are most likely pared back in BC mode. Native app doesn't have that issue.

Or it's probably entirely unrelated to GPU in the case of DS3.

 

[Closer]

There are no dropped frames, according to OPs summary.

3 frames dropped, 2 of those seem to be a streaming issue or something.

 

[Soodanim]

No one is going to miss 3 frames.

60fps is the way to play Souls, no doubt about it. If you haven't played DS3 at 60fps, I can't imagine it at anything less. It'll be worth another play through

 

[MasterCornholio]

That's probably the same issue that I get on my PC. I've only noticed it because I use a framerate counter.

 

[Md Ray]

Kinda off-topic but still on topic, does the PC version have an uncapped (60+fps) frame rate?

No.

RX 5700 XT outperforms the RTX 2070 Super, PS5 is faster than the 5700XT even with fewer CUs.

That's a wrong statement. We don't know how fast the gpu itself is. It comes in as 2060 or 2080 depending on the game

 

[MrSec84]

No it's not, the 5700XT outperforms the RTX 2070 Super and the PS5 has much more efficient GPU architecture, running at a faster clock speed.

What part of his comment made you think he was complaining? Do you think you being surprised at something is the same as complaining about it?

 

[DonJuanSchlong]

It really wasn't even a complaint, agreed. I even commended the solid overall framerate abd performance. Just expected a rock solid 60 fps @ 1080p is all.
