How does Sekiro look on pro?

Locked 60 with high resolution via boost mode?
Sekiro is already 60fps 1800p cb on regular PS5:


Yep. That's why I didn't put it on my numbered list. It's just as perfect on the PS5 already. Just that I still have it on my backlog as I know it will kick my ass and destroy my controller. Getting my reflexes trained with Sifu on master difficulty first. Freaking awesome game, by the way. My heart sank when they decided to make rocket league soccer next :/

If you want to buy it just as a cool piece of tech, then it's totally up to your spending capacity. I actually had a backlog that is dramatically improved with the Pro. This is my current list with 2 of these being my "forever" games that I pick up and play at anytime:
  1. The Witcher 3 - Solid 4k 60 on pro
  2. TLOU2 - My wife plays this at least twice a year on grounded difficulty and I'm doing my first full playthrough now, where I'm not just a backseat gaming cheerleader
  3. GT7 - My forever game, until GT8
  4. God of War Ragnarok - Looks pristine on the pro with all quality mode settings making the cut to 60 fps
  5. Until Dawn Remake - Looks great on the pro after a horrible launch and a slew of patches
  6. Horizon Forbidden West + DLC - Was 50% done playing on Fidelity at 30 fps when I got the Pro and now it's better looking than fidelity at 60 fps.
  7. FF7 Rebirth - Haven't touched it yet. Was waiting to play it on the Pro and it got the the best possible upgrade I could imagine
  8. Spiderman 2 - Waited as I knew a pro would eventually come out and Insomniac would lead the pack in terms of upgrades
  9. Jedi Survivor - Will not play until they fix the PSSR implementation or remove it altogether
  10. Silent Hill 2 - Will not play until they fix the PSSR implementation for 30 fps or remove it altogether. But I may yield and play it as it seems like the perfect game for my wife during the holidays.
Completing this backlog with my limited hours (along with completing Sifu and Sekiro, which were already looking perfect on the PS5) will take me 1.5 years. Certainly worth the $420 upgrade for me (traded in at Gamestop). The most undersold part for me is that I could actually download all those games and still have space left!

If none of the above are on your list, nor some of the other solid updates, then may be wait till some new games release next year?
witcher is 4k60?
I thought the quality mode is 30fps locked ?

I was referring to Performance mode. The dynamic resolution ramps all the way up. Honestly, the ray tracing didn't blow my mind. Most often the lighting just looks... different than better. And the baked lighting even looked better at times. The RT reflections looked too mirror like and I preferred the original version anyway. It just seems like the assets weren't meant for RT and it was bolted on with mixed results. So I settled for that sweet 4k 60 on performance mode. The 30 fps in this game did not feel smooth at all to be worth it.
 
40fps on 60hz refresh is constant stutter. That's why 120hz panels were needed to show it in optimal way.

Your C8 only can do 120hz with 1080p res, no?
C8 is really strange ...i can get resolutions up to 4k at 120 but I get crushed blacks ...however, not in certain games ...for example Black myth and Avatar i was getting 40 fps at full resolution and no judder

I can't explain it. ..every other game will kick into 120hz and I get black crush

The difference in IQ is staggering even at the 30fps Quality mode. (yet, DF thinks this is just a 'net positive' LOL)

It's interesting to see how XSX looks noticeably better when compared to the normal PS5 probably due to the dynamic resolution scaling.

and how it instantly looks so much worse when paired with the PS5 PRO :messenger_tears_of_joy::messenger_tears_of_joy::messenger_tears_of_joy:

No idea, I’m going off memory for my 1080ti or 2070 when I was testing limits. But I’m not sure if 4k@40hz was supported. It may very well be as the bandwidth is there and just holds the image three times before the next refresh. As the panel can handle 4k@120hz through streaming per LG, just not through hdmi since it is 2.0.

The other games going 120hz is probably rendered at what ever rate it set to by the PlayStation then downsampled to push in a 1080p container at 120hz then the tv upscales to 4K so it will look clearer than 1080p. The reason it could look washed out could be because at 120hz on the c8 does not support HDR.

No idea really, the tv is kind of in a weird outlier as it was the year before the 2.1 hdmi ports were released. It’s been regulated for streaming in our living room. I haven’t messed with it for gaming in a few years. So no idea what the practical limits are with current standards outside the norms.

Went to Walmart today and the Pro units were sold out. On the way out of electronics I spotted a lone PS5 disc drive on the floor of the lock up cage. I bought it not knowing whether I'll even buy the Pro, That drive is a unicorn around here and it still seems so online as well. If I get a Pro, I won't have to search for a drive at least.

The improvement is quite dramatic there.

It seems that the XSX/PS5 comparison differs mostly in colour grading rather than a clear resolution difference.

What resolution your tv says when console switches to 120hz?. Pressing green button 5x times works for newer models but I have no idea if it works for C8.

In theory HDMI supported by your tv allows for 4k 60Hz 4:4:4 with no HDR, 4k 60Hz 4:2:2 with HDR or 120Hz/1080p. PS5 can automatically switch output res going from 60 to 120.

About crushed blacks, I have no idea...
 
I’d have but just a year ago I upgraded from 1080p projector to 4K variant from BenQ for $1400. It does 120fps at 1080p only unfortunately and has no VRR argh.
VRR is game changer. A lot of games aren't really locked to 60 FPS, but once you have it, drops to like 55 FPS become difficult to notice. Under 50 FPS you can feel it.
It also drastically improves 120 FPS games, since drops to like 100 FPS are difficult to notice, and the PQ is pristine due to no judder.

I bet you can snatch a nice OLED that can do VRR for less than that. I upgraded my crappy 720p (?!) Sony Bravia only back in 2020 for a 55” OLED CX for around $1500, gotta be able to get one for much cheaper by now… then you can just keep the projector for another room or for movies or something

Completely disagree on Witcher RTgi ...the lighting is much flatter without it and the reflections are surprisingly good in this game....like when you're in swamps you get some great reflections combined with the gi the game looks quite advanced.

I agree that it's not "as transformative" as some games but you notice it right away...

I bet Witcher 3 could run at 60 with RT on Pro ...

The c8 is supposed to be able to do 1440p at 120
 
Absolutely tragedy the patch for this game is, I’ve been pretty vocal about how I think it’s one of the worst patches, especially since the series x version runs rings round it, but I didn’t play it on base ps5 so I’m not sure how bad that was to start as I had assumed it ran well since it got the exclusive level and marketing money. Since it was a point of contention and is barely tolerated still on that other board I don’t remember people complaining about the frame rate etc over here for ps5 though at the time
You are tripping if you think sx version runs rings around ps5 pro lmao :messenger_tears_of_joy:

Yeah you definitely notice it. Just didn’t blow me away like some other games with RTGI. Like you said, not transformative. And it simply doesn’t work well at times where the cutscene is set in an area that’s too dark, like right after Ciri fights the werewolf early on. The cutscene with RTGI was so badly lit versus the fake lighting that I preferred the latter. I still go back and forth when the interior lighting could work well with RTGI during cutscenes, like the opening in Kaer Morhen. But during gameplay, it was taking away more than it was giving, with the lower resolution AND 30 fps. And with water, even though it reflects the environment better, it feels like some effects are missing and it just looks like a mirror. You will notice this in the DF comparison video for this game. They were praising the RT reflection in Novigrad for its accuracy, while the inaccurate one looked better aesthetically. It’s probably a matter of personal taste and priorities, I guess.

Could it pull off RT at 4k 60 with cdpr’s engine? No idea. From Cerny’s talk, it did seem like additional work is needed to leverage the full RT power and that a full uplift is not automatic. They haven’t even bothered with Cyberpunk, so this game seems like it’s the best it’s ever going to be on console.

In any case, I’m just glad the game looks so good during open world gameplay in performance mode. Sometimes I’m just slow walking around for minutes with the sound of gentle breeze in my ear. At the rate I’m playing, I’ll never finish this game and the dlcs. At 8% completion after 12 hours!!!

In Hogwarts? Absolutely, which is obviously not as optimised on PS5 as they had to for Xbox in the first place, but Series X quality with Ray tracing has been in a better state than the current PS5 pro version for literally years at this point.
Having both installed and running at the same time switching tv inputs for the same areas demonstrates this very very clearly, sorry to say as I felt cheated buying the PS5 version after I got my pro expecting upgrades to what I played and completed on Series X

My Grey 30th Anniversary plates arrived from AliExpress about an hour ago, didn't expect them this quick (about 1 week) it looks good with them on, happier now as never liked the white plates and swapped my original launch ps5 plates the moment black plates came out back early 2021

Something is wrong on your end as even base PS5 had a better performing game with the same settings and resolution targets.

Imagine the new Pro version... Or are you saying that in Hogwarts the game is Better on base consoles?

Wow great difference, thanks for the gifs. Only problem i see with PSSR in some of these patches is that it has a slight oversharpenned look and it kinda changes the color palette of the game no? Seems to me like the effect you get with something like CAS from AMD. It slightly pushes white up it seems.
 
Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here goes. Why does games don’t let you switch off 120hz/120fps from the in game menu. Here’s the problem I’m running into, I’ve got a 4k60 display that only allows 120fps/120hz on 1080p res only. When I’ve got 120hz auto enabled in ps5 pros system menu, games like last of us part 1, F1 2024 ends up defaulting to 120hz option in its quality mode and hence I’m forced to play it at 1080p resolution. The only manual fix for this is by closing the app and disabling the auto enabled 120hz and rebooting the game to let it just run at 4k60fps. This becomes quite cumbersome when I need to keep doing this for games I prefer 1080p/120 like CoD Warzone multiplayer etc.

I like how some games lets you disable 120hz in its game menu like CoD black ops 6, that way I get to choose between 4k60fps or 1080p120fps.

Out of the 60 to 70 games I have installed. None of them default to 120fps even though its set to auto in the OS. Of the several games installed which do support either 120hz or 40fps. I have to select the mode manually in every game. So my experience differs from yours. The Last Of Us defaults to 4k 60fps for me. I have to manually change the in game settings to get it to run at 120hz.

Maybe this is an issue compounded by the fact that not only are you engaging 120hz, but also changing the resolution when doing so to 1080p. My resolution never changes and is always 4k. I have the resolution settings set to 4k in the OS. But maybe because you're flipping between two resolutions, its causing your in game defaults to change. And/or is being influenced by the OS resolution. In short, I reckon your issue would go away if your TV could properly do 4k 120hz and you locked the OS to 4k resolution.

Edit: actually I do have one game which defaults to 120hz and that's Asteroids. But it only has the one mode: 4k 120hz

Get a new tv for christmas is the only solution.
I never even heard of a tv like that . Must be a walmart brand

Bought Avatar yesterday, and finally got to try it this morning after installing a whopping 42GB update.

For being one of those Pro stinkers, I am really pleased with what I'm playing to be honest.. game (Quality 60fps FSR 3) is way sharper and cleaner than I was expecting.

I hardly see any RT denoising artifacts at all, and probably due to a sufficient resolution pre-upscale, even the FSR ones never got distracting in the slightest so far.
Also tried the PSSR option and even though the artifacts are less intrusive than videos would indicate, would have went with FSR regardless because PSSR felt noticeably heavier on performance to me.

Even if they left the game as is I can hardly complain about it. We have a higher resolution than base consoles and the Quality Mode settings at 60fps to boot, in a super dense, ray-traced open world playing smooth and looking sharp and relatively clean.

Yeah I don't know what he is smoking but PS5 outperforms XSX by like 20-25% in the RT mode in Hogwarts. PS5 outperforms almost all XSX games when there is hardware RT involved anyways.

Vick Vick thanks for being the test pilot on this one. Based on your take I took a punt and picked up the Ultimate Edition on sale.

So, I had already played this on base PS5 after launch with a trial offered at the time. And it was awful visually, especially in its 60fps mode. Far too blurry and bad enough that I excepted that I may never return to it. Today however on Pro. In Quality 60 mode. With FSR3, fog & motion blur disabled. It looks superb. Its literally a night and day difference to what I played on base PS5. This is definitely in a great place technically now on Pro.

Now if only they could fully fix Outlaws.

What are the best settings for POE2 on PS Pro guys? So many options lol
PSSR kinda adjusts between profiles depending on load. You select the "Max Quality" (the upper limit), and to me, with 120hz enabled it seems to be using Performance profile most of the time.

I believe ALL of the complaints about it were before the patch that let you switch to FSR instead of PSSR.

Jealous. Mine are taking the normal amount of time to get here.

I ended up ordering both plates and a skin as the skin included the middle part as well so the only black will be the fins. Do you have any pictures?

Space Marines is great on Pro. Saber should tell the other 3rd party studios how do it.
During my time with the trial I agree. Game looks amazing, and is a good counter thesis to all the people saying that PSSR is trash. It's very obviously a dev issue as if it was a purely PSSR in general we wouldn't have games with amazing applications.

Disagree. Only the hardcore will ask this question. And the hardcore deserves options.
I promote this to the worst post of 2025 and 2025 has not even started yet.
What kind of backwards ass thinking is that?
"lol I am hardcore because I know what these console modes are!!!"
Get the fuck out. There is nothing hardcore about that.
If you think that knowing some graphical options is a sign of being hardcore or smart... this means you don't know anything since this is nothing to brag about.

If devs can't decide what's best for their game (usuals like film grain and motion blur aside), then what are we even talking about here?
There is nothing hardcore about devs releasing unoptimized shit and offering options... ON A CONSOLE where they should just offer the best possible experience on this hardware. OK 1-2 modes or fps unlock but options make no sense.
There is a pc for that. Which is what I largely abandoned (Saying as I just finished indiana jones on steam lol) because of distractions like that.
Devs need to learn to use consoles again.

Listen. I am a "hardcore" gamer and I demand something else than pc game released on unoptimized low power box.
Choice is one thing.
But being made an idiot is another.
There is no sense to REDUNDANT options on console since you cannot upgrade your hardware and monitor your performance.
If they offer multiple anti aliasing options... there is no fucking choice here. Only 1 looks factually the best. Devs should make that choice and release the game that way.
I understand film grain. Sure, it's subjective. but there is nothing subjective about game looking aliased or not.

you're overreacting. He meant casuals will just play with the default option, which should be the one curated by the devs, as you requested (or as set in the system option).
