I doubt it. The PS4 Pro UI is 4k and they were still able to give developers an extra 500 MB of RAM on the PS4 Pro by reducing the OS footprint.
They would not say that kind of thing, even if it was true (I don't think it will change, but I have no idea if it's true or not).this isnt true. thats what MS said in regards to the X1X not having a 4k UI. They havent said anything about why the xsx isnt in 4k.
The PS4 Pros solution is to add some slow DRAM so the 4K UI doesn't eat into the GDDR pool. Best of all worlds solution imo.
PS4 Pro’s additional RAM frees up memory for game developers
New RAM used for noncritical appswww.polygon.com
So it looks like they added 1 GB of slower RAM for a total of 9 GB of RAM, but then gave back 0.5 GB of faster ram to developers for games.they didn't reduce the OS footprint they added DDR3 ram to offset part of the OS onto there
Half of the freed-up RAM is available to game developers, boosting the total amount to 5.5 GB. (The existing PS4 offers as much as 5 GB of memory for games.) The PS4 Pro uses "most of the rest" of the extra graphics memory, said Cerny, to draw the console’s interface at 4K resolution — four times the pixels of the current 1080p resolution.
Every time my menus are on HDR, I cringe at what happens. That is not what the extra range is for.
Why the hell have they done it? This is the most powerful console in the world, right?
It's not final, and will be updated before launch. It's very likely it's just using the X1X UI until then.
It's the usual suspects in a thread like this. Concern thread number #76. I don't know why we would need a 4K UI, its unnecessary. Keep it small and fast.
720p on a 720p screenThe Switch UI is 720p and people didn't notice that for like a year.
So it looks like they added 1 GB of slower RAM for a total of 9 GB of RAM, but then gave back 0.5 GB of faster ram to developers for games.
That means the PS4 had 3GB of RAM allocated for the OS and the Pro had 3.5 GB. Cerny says most of the extra ram is being used for a 4k UI. This mean we are looking at 0.5 GB on the PS5 as well. I expect the PS5 OS footprint to be 3 GB compared to the 2.5 GB of the Xbox OS.
Even over HDMI, it outputs 1080p but the UI is still 720p upscaled.720p on a 720p screen
I give a shit. I didn’t spend 3000 on an 85 inch 4K tv to see some ghetto ass 1080p UI
Where has this been stated?
Must be really concerned about OS memory usage. Is it that much of a difference?
Grubb? Seriously?

There is nothing wrong here, as everything should be quicker and leaves more room for gaming.
The type of person like the Grubb guy is the reason why Microsoft might choose to update it to snowflakes then everyone will be wandering why the heck UI has gone slower ..
Louder for the people that were complaining about taking one screw out to put in an SSD drive lol.Man people are just trying to find anything to bitch about these new consoles.
Oh no the UI is not 4K ! Who gives a shit.
If the GAMES run at 4k why would you care? I would totally understand if the XSX couldn't run 4k games.The human psychology going on in this thread is remarkable.
Thought experiment for some of you:
If you’d read that the Ps5 UI was 1080p, what would your honest reaction have been?
I still have a pre order offer for a Series X, but I really don’t want a muddy 1080p UI on my brand new TV. Why the hell have they done it? This is the most powerful console in the world, right?
You think a 12Tflop GPU console with 8 Zen 2 cores would run slower because of its 4K UI? It shouldn't, it just seems like preferring to give developers that half gig of RAM or so.
Some portion of 1GB that was reserved for the UI was given back in the One X days by moving back to 1080p, and the PS4 Pro UI used about 512MB to output its UI in 4K. So it's about half a gig I recon.
LOL Come on Bro, you KNOW what this thread would have looked like if this had been PS5 UI in 1080p.The human psychology going on in this thread is remarkable.

I don't want 1080p anywhere near my next gen console even if its the UI.
I'm lucky enough to have an LG CX. 1080p looks like ass on it. And I'm assuming that all the apps will be in 1080p, and I use quite a few apps.
Exactly. If you want a 4K UI buy a PS5 (or PS4 Pro).Man people are just trying to find anything to bitch about these new consoles.
Oh no the UI is not 4K ! Who gives a shit.
No reason to think this.
A 1080p UI will have 1080p apps, will it not?
Regardless, I just don't want a muddy screen to look at at any point.
Why it has something to do with RAM? It's icons and they are compressed, it's not like it will use 8 times more RAM.
i am not doing fud ! (bold1)A 1080p UI will have 1080p apps, will it not?
Regardless, I just don't want a muddy screen to look at at any point.
