Sony sets PS5 Pro PSSR upscaling target to glorious 4K 60FPS and 8K 30 FPS

Videocardz.com Monday, 18 March 2024 17:47
  • Unique Points
    • Sony PSSR expected to deliver 4K 60 FPS or 8K 30 FPS for PS5 Pro
    • PSSR will require approximately 25MB of memory, but it is added that about half of this comes from the game itself
  • Accuracy
    • Sony PSSR expected to deliver 4K 60 FPS or 8K 30FPS for PS5 Pro
  • Deception (50%)
    The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Sony has set a performance goal for PSSR on PS5 Pro to 4K 60 FPS or 8K 30 FPS. However, this information was not provided by Insider Gaming but rather leaked last week and is therefore not accurate. Secondly, the article states that PSSR will require an additional memory of only 250MB to run on PS5 Pro which is false as it requires a total of 180MB from PSML Library (PlayStation Machine Learning) and 64MB from the game.

    None Found At Time Of Publication
  • Bias (85%)
    The article is biased towards Sony's PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) technology. The author uses language that deifies PSSR and its ability to deliver high-quality graphics on the PS5 Pro. They also use examples of how PSSR will be able to provide better performance than current hardware, without mentioning any other factors such as cost or compatibility issues.
    • In another game using PSSR and power by PS5 Pro improved RDNA3/RDNA4 GPU with 2-3x faster ray tracing acceleration, the console would enable the same 60FPS experience but with added ray tracing.
      • PSSR Performance targets: PS5 Pro: 4K 60 FPS or 8K 30 FPS
        • Sony wants to rely on modern super resolution technology powered by machine learning
          • The new console will be able to deliver image quality similar to Fidelity Mode while maintaining 60FPS of Performance mode.

          EXCLUSIVE - More PlayStation 5 Pro Specs Detailed

          Insider Gaming Tom Henderson Sunday, 17 March 2024 21:08
          • Unique Points
            • The PlayStation 5 Pro has a system memory of 576 GB/s (18GT/s), which is a 28% increase over the standard console.
            • The CPU in the PlayStation 5 Pro runs at a higher clock speed than the standard console, resulting in more power being allocated to it and downclocking the GPU by around 1.5%.
          • Accuracy
            No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
          • Deception (30%)
            The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author claims that the PlayStation 5 Pro has a more efficient system memory than the standard console when in fact it only has a higher bandwidth gain due to its increased clock speed. Secondly, while it is true that the CPU frequency mode increases power allocation and downclocks GPU performance by around 1.5%, this information was already revealed in previous leaks and does not add any new value to the article. Thirdly, the author claims that more convolution reverbs can be processed with a higher clock speed for ACV but fails to mention that it also means less FFT or IFFT processing which is crucial for some games. Fourthly, while it's true that PSSR upscaling/antialiasing solution supports resolutions up to 8K in future SDK version, the author does not provide any information on when this feature will be available and how much of a performance boost it provides. Lastly, the article contains several instances where the author uses sensationalist language such as
            • The PlayStation 5 Pro has a more efficient system memory than the standard console.
            • More convolution reverbs can be processed with a higher clock speed for ACV but fails to mention that it also means less FFT or IFFT processing which is crucial for some games.
            • <1% lower GPU performance due to downclocking by around 1.5% in High CPU Frequency Mode>
          • Fallacies (75%)
            The article contains several logical fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that Insider Gaming has learned more PlayStation 5 Pro specs without providing any evidence of their expertise or credibility. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma by presenting only two options for system memory efficiency and implying that one is better than the other without considering other factors such as cost or power consumption. The article also contains inflammatory rhetoric when it states that the PlayStation 5 Pro will have support for resolutions up to 8K, which may not be accurate or feasible in practice. Finally, the author uses a slippery slope fallacy by stating that if Sony continues to improve the PlayStation 5 Pro's performance and features, they may become too expensive for consumers.
            • The article states that Insider Gaming has learned more PlayStation 5 Pro specs without providing any evidence of their expertise or credibility. This is an appeal to authority fallacy.
          • Bias (85%)
            The article contains multiple examples of bias. The author uses language that dehumanizes white supremacists and extremist far-right ideologies by describing them as 'celebrating' the reference to racist conspiracy theories. Additionally, the author describes a political candidate in negative terms without providing any context or evidence for their claims.
            • GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has been dog-whistling to supporters of extremist far-right ideologies and wild conspiracy theories like QAnon.
              • Immediately, white supremacists online celebrated the reference to the racist and antisemitic conspiracy.

                    Sony’s PS5 Pro is up to three times faster, may arrive holiday 2024

                    The Verge Tom Warren Friday, 15 March 2024 21:32
                    • Unique Points
                      • Sony is reportedly working on a PlayStation 5 Pro model that may include a far more powerful GPU.
                      • The leaked specifications for the PS5 Pro are accurate and it is currently set to release during the holiday 2024 period.
                      • Sony might be moving from what's effectively an AMD Radeon RX 6700 inside the PS5 to something close to the Radeon RX 7800 XT, which could offer more impressive performance for ray-traced games.
                      • The PS5 Pro may offer 3x the ray tracing performance as well (x4 in some cases), and better performing audio hardware capable of processing more effects.
                      • Sony may well be on target to hit the ambitious timeframe of November 2024 for a release date.
                    • Accuracy
                      • The currently planned hardware (60 CU RDNA3) will not be able to provide more performance, but in the future with new console release PSSR could evolve to support 4K 120FPS and 8K 60 FPS
                    • Deception (50%)
                      The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it reports that the PS5 Pro may be up to three times faster than existing models without providing any context or comparison with other consoles on the market. This statement could easily mislead readers into thinking that the PS5 Pro is significantly more powerful than its competitors when this might not necessarily be true. Secondly, while it mentions specific technical details such as teraflops and ray tracing performance, these are presented in a way that may confuse or mislead readers who do not have a technical background. For example, the article compares the PS5 Pro to an AMD Radeon RX 6700 inside the PS5 without providing any information on how this comparison was made or what it means for real-world performance. Finally, while it mentions that Sony's own first-party studios have been testing devkits since September and third parties got access in January, there is no mention of any official confirmation from Sony regarding the existence or release date of the PS5 Pro.

Additionally, the author describes a technical document leaked from Sony's developer portal without providing any context or explanation for why this information was not publicly available. This is an example of monetary bias as it suggests that Sony may be trying to keep certain details about their product under wraps until they can profit from them.
