boosting is PC technology, only that sony reversed in how they claim the results.
on pc, you are sold by the game clock, and are informed that it may boost up to that point.
on ps5, you are sold by the absolute upper limit the boost can get, without mention of anything else specific.
yes, cerny said that “not all games will run at full 2.23ghz”, and he even went one step further and baptised any game that is demanding “worst case scenario game”
So you got full speed, unless we are talking about a worst-case-scenario-game
If one ever tries to make a reasonable conversation out of these points, there is an instant ban waiting. the only allowed talk in resetera and gaf is “the difference will be smaller than ever before, smaller than ps4-xbone”
its going to be an amusing console generation, that’s for sure.
Where exactly? Bring the proof please. Thanks. Cause I already searched and didn’t find anything at all. Until then nothing is officially confirmed by Ubisoft themselves for PS5.
oh f**k, Alex seems to be out for an adventure with poking the dragon. While I understand his Intention, I am personally not a fan of those type of comparisons because the GPUs in question here are based on a completely different architecture.
He says in another comment that this is the card he will be using to emulate console settings in DF vids, and also mentions using another mid range AMD card for a similar comparison, so not a single data point. And I guess may up the card if he finds he needs to. Seems pretty reasonable to me.
They absolutely are fanboys grasping at straws, and I’m not saying that you can’t do some amazing efficiency improvements with software (you absolutely can), but those “secret sauce” people assume that Microsoft doesn’t have their own set of software tricks. Given that we have clear confirmation that Series S | X is full-fat RDNA2, with all of its embedded hardware and software efficiencies, in addition to Microsoft’s XVA, DirectML, and all their other bevy of software efficiency improvements, I don’t think there’s been any of that gap between the two lessened.
I don’t argue the reasoning, I argue it would be better to compare to the same architecture. Alex does very good work and is attacked constantly for being unbiased.
No no, my original launch day PlayStation started the disc spin shit. In fact the PlayStation is the first faulty hardware I’ve experienced. It was a little harder back then (Internet being in its infancy) to figure out to leave it in an upside down position while playing. That revision (PSone) didn’t come till after I had gotten the Dreamcast On 9-9-99.
I agree Alex provides good objective analysis, agree it would be better to compare on the same arch. so a question (I’m no expert on PC side/AMD cards) is there an equivalent already available that could be used for PS5 and XSX or are tehse cards not released yet?
I don’t agree with the reason my post was flagged, I don’t think there is any element of system wars here, I just stated a fact that most if not all Sony insiders were wrong about the specs and their credibility are at least questionable.
Yeah I mentioned a while back that I’ve looked into liquid metal for personal and enterprise solutions, and I’ve always avoided it. Aside from the obvious conductivity risk, the bigger problem is that it will embrittle any nickel based components and for those copper heat sinks, expect to see ionic migration that can eventually cause degradation of the material. I feel like anyone applauding the use of liquid metal aren’t aware of its inherent risks.
Goal is reduce toxicity and drama in these forums and best for us to be proactive and consistent. This does goes both ways. We also shouldn’t be using non-verified sources as insiders here. I’d ask forum members here to report both and we’ll do our best to eliminate both. If posts get flagged, intention isn’t to embarrass anyone.
yeah, fair point and I agree, but again I don’t see toxicity or drama on my post, but if using a non verified source is one reason to get your post flagged, I would completely agree with my post being flagged. Just the actual reason I was warned in my inbox I found weird and disconnected from the post content. But it is ok man, I’m not embaressed at al. Thx for clarifying.
Yes exactly I know people too well versed in this and recommended me to avoid it at all costs lol
This is what I fear happening on PS5.
This video is just an example
Either it will dry up regularly and you have to replace it yourself or either it will leak and all things go south.
I will wait for extensive testings and feedbacks before picking one since I already plan to buy a PS5 Pro version down the line if the model is truly reliable on the long term.
What degree of degradation can be expected? Within what time frame it may occur? How and how much performance maybe impacted? Can degradation be nullfied?
So you got full speed, unless we are talking about a worst-case-scenario-game
