The tech experts at Digital Foundry took an in-depth look at the PlayStation 5 Pro patch of the popular game developed by Hello Games, highlighting how the game's 8K mode delivers extremely sharp visuals, thanks to PSSR, which upscales the game from a base resolution of around 2700p to 8K. The image quality remains impressive even in motion, proving once again how high base resolutions deliver much better upscaling results. Looking at performance, unlike what the in-game menus suggest, framerate is always capped at a properly paced 30 FPS in 8K mode, which makes the game absolutely playable in this mode. In addition, No Man's Sky seems to be the perfect showcase for an 8K resolution mode, as the game's high contrast and highly stylized visuals with long vistas suit such a high resolution incredibly well.

Uncle Fester stopped chewing his lightbulb to test this huh?

I love when old people chase the algorithm with failed attempts at Youtube face.

 

[Optimus Lime]

Whoever decided that every game-related Youtube video needs a thumbnail with the host pulling the most retarded and obnoxious face they possibly can needs to be dragged outside and shot.

 

[Kerotan]

Games like this and GT7 and just pioneering 8k on PS5 PRO so the PS6 can establish it. They have to start sometime so more 8k TV's are sold. It'll probably be the PS7 in 10 years when 8k becomes mainstream but the journey starts now.

 

[Hrk69]

I can’t tell if the thumbnail is trying to make me click or trying to warn me of the British dental health crisis

I think it started in the mid-2010s and I'm not sure if it was Markiplier, Pewdiepie, Jacksepticeye or one of the other famous ones back then who started it but the younger audiences clicked on it, then the algorithm apparently liked and boosted due to that, so much so that everyone had to play along.

It's also a psychology thing.

Regardless the new algorithm grift is finding any small millisecond of T&A on screen and using it as a thumbnail.

They have become parody between the thumbnails, merch, clips channel, master race dork Alex and John being an annoying cunt talking over people.

 

[TheStam]

I have sometimes dreamed about creating a YouTube/chrome plugin that automatically blocks allvideos with stupid exaggerated thumbnail faces.

I could change the world for the better.

Problem with 8k is economical viability, not practical viability.

Also, good luck demoing two 65" TVs, one 4k the other 8k, and convincing someone to spend the extra money on the 8k set.

That's the same people said about 1080p and 4k.

 

[Guerilla Munch]

I mean, it's a decade old indie game that runs on the Switch Lite, but cool for the 3 people that own an 8K display

Much more elite than those 4090 owners stuck on shitty 4k.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Any of you got a 8K display?

 

[ShakenG]

That's the same people said about 1080p and 4k.

Yes but at 65" you'll most definitely see the improvement in resolution. Cant see it being the same for 8k. Not this time around.

4090 can't output 8k?

 

[King Dazzar]

Any of you got a 8K display?

 

[Mister Wolf]

At one point I considered getting one. Do you set custom 16:9 resolutions between 4K and 8K through NVCP?

 

[nightmare-slain]

Dude looks like a thumb.

And 8K is pointless.

 

[mitch1971]

I hope them teeth ain't in 8k.

 

[Hero of Spielberg]

For 8k Are they just going to use AI to upres 99% of movies?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

I'm sure all 9 people on Earth who have an 8K TV, a PS5 Pro, and a copy of No Man's Sky will be thrilled

 

[lh032]

fuck 8k.

8k users reminds me of people who buy shitty luxury bags

 

[King Dazzar]

No, it just reads the TV's capabilities (I assume EDID) and you have the 8k resolution selectable along with all the others. Its all very normal.

Do bear in mind I bought my 8k TV to get the best 4k experience, not to watch 8k. Its a Sony Master Series. And you had to go 8k to get all the other top tier capabilities - one of them being 3k nit luminance. A bit like buying a car's top trim level, just because you wanted leather seats. That said, 8k desktop graphics mode is superb. And I do love the 4k upscale onto the 8k panel.

 

[LordBritish]

12k resolution or gtfo

 

[SweetTooth]

8k is pointless to people here until Nvidia does it then it becomes a MUST have and 4K will suddenly becomes too blurry!

Edit: OT I think 8K is massive resources hog and shouldn't be aimed at for at least 15 years.

4090 can't output 8k?

Not if you don't have an 8k TV.

 

[Sanepar]

Nope. 8k is a waste.

 

[JimboJones]

Not if you don't have an 8k TV.

I mean that goes without saying lol, I suppose you can super sample I you so wish.

 

[Spukc]

Out to get a new 8K television.
A couple of games work on it now

 

[LordOcidax]

“8K” and 1440p internal

Viable but pointless.

But at least those luxury bags look nice. An 8k TV, looks just like a 4K TV.

Hello. 8K is pointless, let me know if you need help building a PC or setting up your Steam account.

no, stop this shit. Give me good IQ and good framerates instead.

They're probably busy playing quality first-party Microsoft software on their Xbox family of devices.

I saw what I needed to see from the Pro with Alan Wake 2, Survivor, Rebirth, and Dragon's Dogma. Four games that desperately needed improvement. Three out of four of them have serious issues with the Pro. Not good.
