Come pixel-peep what the PS5 Pro can maybe actually do

I deliberation Sony mightiness person made a mistake.

Not by pricing the PS5 Pro astatine $700 oregon ditching the optical drive — it tin ever driblet the terms oregon bundle — but by trying to showcase the PS5 Pro’s graphical improvements utilizing a bandwidth-limited, compressed YouTube video.

I accidental that due to the fact that I’m presently looking astatine a autochthonal 5.3GB video record of Sony’s presumption close now, connected a 4K OLED screen, and I deliberation corporate tin genuinely tell the difference successful immoderate of these games. That wasn’t needfully existent connected YouTube.

Important note: Do not right-click to download the images you spot below, bash not adjacent left-click them — they’re conscionable ocular immunodeficiency truthful you cognize which representation you’ll get. Left-click the nexus successful each caption to load the pictures, past download them; each should person a filesize good implicit 4MB. Optimally, you should past show them connected a large 4K screen, similar the 1 you mightiness usage with the PlayStation.

But if you’re consenting to tolerate the little framerates of “Fidelity” mode, the vantage isn’t arsenic clear-cut:

Sony didn’t connection comparo images for each title, but present are pictures from different games it utilized to correspond the PS5 Pro’s graphics, too:

If you’re really dedicated, I accidental you could adjacent effort to find the aforesaid infinitesimal successful the aforesaid crippled connected your ain PS5, drawback your ain screenshot, and use Nvidia’s ICAT tool to peep pixels similar a pro.

Is it ridiculous that we’ve travel to this? Maybe! But I don’t privation you to deliberation there’s nary quality betwixt PS5 and PS5 Pro graphics astatine 60fps:

There’s perfectly a quality — conscionable possibly not 1 that’s worthy $700 to you.
