The new Sony console, PlayStation 5 Pro, has already landed in the hands of the first gamers, revealing intriguing details about its capabilities. It turns out that the console indeed supports 8K resolution. However, the issue is that we will most likely only be able to take a screenshot in such quality.
Currently, there are 4 titles on the list offering such a display mode:
- Gran Turismo 7 (limited to 30 frames per second),
- EA Sports F1 24,
- Rogue Flight
- The Touryst
PS5 Pro Specification
Pictures of the documentation included with the PS5 Pro have surfaced online, along with initial reports from users who have received the console before the official release. They confirm that the device is equipped with a 390W power supply, which is a 40W increase over the base PS5.
The leaked information also indicates that the PS5 Pro has a 16.7 teraflops graphics chip, as well as an additional 2GB of DDR5 RAM. This last one probably aims to free up VRAM memory for developers, similar to what happened with the PS4 Pro.
Is 8K just a marketing gimmick?
There are voices on forums that 8K in PS5 Pro is just a marketing gimmick to attract attention. After all, few users have 8K TVs, and most games still don't run smoothly in 4K. Furthermore, there are questions about whether handling such high resolution is a genuine innovation or simply a marketing ploy.
8K technology is still in its infancy, and the vast majority of consumers are skeptical about it. Maybe Sony wants to lay the groundwork for upcoming titles that can take advantage of this resolution.
Other new features and upcoming release
In addition to the new 8K features, PS5 Pro also brings improvements for PS4 game owners. A new feature called "Enhance Image Quality" is designed to improve the graphics quality in older titles, probably using the image scaling technology PSSR. The resolution and sharpness of the image may be impacted by this, although the results could vary depending on the particular game.
With the upcoming release of the more powerful version of the PS5, which will take place in just a few days on November 7th, we are eagerly awaiting more information and comprehensive reviews detailing its capabilities, as well as comparisons of games that use its full potential.
