Then I will correct my mistake.Yeah there's a HFR mode, normally between 80-90.

Edited the OP to say that PS5 has better graphics setting in Quality Mode instead of being just superior.

TLDW for folks who can't be bothered go through the video, its a quick and dirty PC port but runs reasonably well so long as you don't use Zen 2 processor.
Quite a few visual/performance bugs and looks like they just slapped on DLSS without much thought. At least they kinda band-aid patched the tesselation issue.

You forgot the most important one
Quality + HFR unlocked (VRR)
This will offer the best IQ on PS5 Pro
It's like the 40fps quality mode but uncapped
Just with Boost mode it will be amazing to see
I think Santa Monica will patch the game anyway to use PSSR

There is a 5th mode? That must have been added later.

Yeah, I would be surprised though if Santa Monica doesn't make a specific patch for PS5 Pro. Even to just enable PSSR

You see the same behaviour turning the settings down all the way. Alex probably should have shown that as well, but to be honest the difference in quality isn’t this vast gulf that a PS4 has no problems with LOD loading and a 4090 does.
I recall the Ratchet & Clank comparison with the longer loading (or not loading at all) texture issue which was apparently proof of the SSD I/O superiority and was then promptly patched to be fixed the very next week. Or the slightly longer portal loading scenes which were found out to be artificially capped so the engine could perform JIT shader compilation.

I find 2018 to be the better, tighter game. Ragnarok felt like a slog by comparison.

he's is unprofessional, if you make tech and test, test it on every hardware, not only one.

That’s not really what DF does. If you want a wide variety of benchmarks across multiple GPUs Hardware Unboxed is probably what you’re after.

Poor Voodoo trying to run this.

Video was very lackluster. Here are optimized settings and here is a 5-second clip of them running on a 4060. Couldn't he show a full sequence and how they scale on low-end, mid-range, and high-end hardware? What's the general performance like? I get it that he isn't the biggest PlayStation fan, but he should have just let Oliver do that one. We learned very little from this video and as you've pointed out, he had a few misses, attributing to bugs what is a problem with the interaction between DLSS and the engine.

That would take an unsurmountable amount of time. And most who are into gaming on PC that play up-to-date titles; will have an Nvidia GPU. And will have access to RTX features as well as AMD ones.

Sounds like I’m better off waiting for ~$35 range. I guess in the meantime it’s there if I get desperate

Yep it looks like a half working mess. Every port that doesn't have nixxes involved is shit for a few months.
Nixxes have their problems (VRAM management!) but they are much better.

This is the most interesting thing when you know the I/O complex on PS5 have this own processor for decompression, And the 3D Audio too with the Tempest Engine. So base CPU on PS5 are less struggle.
Of course, this is working if devs really want to push the PS5, mainly not happen with all shit port multisupport.

Another masturbatory video from DF, what are the odds…

Agreed. Once the Pro releases, every regular PS5 will explode. Then, Cerny can start the second phase of his plan for world domination.
Really isn't.

PS5 here: 80fps.

Nah I think this is a Alex crying video this time..

it is 60 fps on base ps5 , can be unlocked for higher fps too

it should be if they are talking about missing effects that is only missing on one brand of card and not the other.

Pixel counting on a 10x zoom is, and always will be.

Probably poor optimisation and CPU utilisation on the port. Alex did say said there is something off with the 3600 results. The 3600 shouldn't be that far behind in gaming (not way over 2x) and he gave examples in other games.

Yeah the tessalation setting is bugged. I was getting 60fps on my 1080ti, but as soon as i entered that portal thing where you run along the tree, fps was like 15fps lol. Just in that portal area.
I messed around and tested each graphic setting and found it was the tessalation setting. Putting that down to medium and it was back to 60fps.
Pretty werid really.
I do have to say i like the game a lot more than the orig GOW. I didnt even ffinish that one but i'm already 18 hours into Ragnarok.

This game runs up to 60fps on a fucking jaguar so it's not really at all CPU limited on PS5. Something is just fucked with the PC code:
Fucked up comparison, performance of 3600 is completely abnormal.
Normally 3600 is less than half of 7800x3d so it should be 80-90fps.

This would be the perfect mode to compare PS5 against PC as it's static 1440p in that mode.
I can't seem to replicate this, getting fog more like the FSR picture in the intro sequence (I assume it's the same as there's credits on screen?). Is it the DLSS FG (can't test that because Ampere) causing it or just the upscaling? I replaced whatever the shipping version of DLSS in the game was with 3.7.20 before even launching it though, so maybe that helps if someone else is having that issue.

GAF tends to overreact. There's probably a bit too much Atreus and a few sections are very slow and kill the pacing, but the overall game is quite good with improvements to combat, enemy variety and bosses, exploration etc.

I dont say is CPU limited on PS5, I just say they using the PS5 CPU with goodsense and leave some task (I/O loading - Audio) with the rest of hardware. And the game can reach 90fps en PS5.
Again, PS4 version have not the same assets than the PS5 version, and the PS4 Pro build running on 1080p on Performance Mode and rarely achieved 60fps (more 45fps).
People expected what? Running this game with the potatoes 750ti / i3 4th gen?

Absolutely. Alex typically hides behind DRS when comparing PS5 vs PC. But now we have a game with fixed resolution and uncapped framerate mode, a la TLOU Pt.1 and I guess he doesn't want to go through that trauma again lol. We all know why he went with this peculiar comparison method.
Zathalus

Not really, the port devs oversold it in the interview.Is this true?
Would it even be a valid comparison with all the performance bugs and missing visual parity? Plenty of games out there, some even Sony ports, that have far less issues, and have been compared to the PS5.
Because the textures on PS4/PS5 are pretty similar, it wouldn't make a difference really.

try look also after cave, unless it's 4xxx series bug

Did they just break the fog effect in a recent patch?I can't seem to replicate this, getting fog more like the FSR picture in the intro sequence (I assume it's the same as there's credits on screen?).

Yes they added PC specific slowdown and are removing fog with their ClearView (TM) technology.Is this true?

The biggest issue are the shadows. 70fps on Medium. 86fps on Low. PS5 runs between Medium and Low. Impossible to match. We can probably fill in the gaps, but this could skew the performance. Obviously, setting it to Low on PC wouldn't make sense, but Medium could also be a lot more demanding.

It's whatever the latest patch is. Patch 3 per Steam.
