"Maxing out" - so maxing out includes upscaling 900p to 1080p?

Holy crap, then my 1080p 144hz monitor must be some unique piece of hardware... because the last time I checked, my monitor seems to be capable of displaying natively rendered 1080p... Also allows me to see rendering done at 4k if I want, only downscaled to fit in the screen.

Incredible! I bet my TV (that apparently seems to be abnormal, according to Sony), must be worth a fortune!

No, afterwards, they have to answer questions with representatives from different top consumer stores, Micro Center, Steam, Best Buy, Gamestop, etc.. Steam has to be asked questions by Sony, Microsoft, etc.. People have to question what is truth or not or we will get this constant influx of "I will lie and no one will care because no one will question me in front of the hundreds of thousands of uneducated people watching me"

Playing a little bit of devil's advocate... those are children and uninformed people... I think what we are looking for here is a more intelligent discussion.

Children at these kinds of events wouldn't be as technically literate as professionals from other companies or well informed enthusiasts. The latter attendees would pose similar questions to what we're doing now, asking when they will cut the crap, etc.

Correction: With Playstation 4, we're pretty much maxing out what 900p 30hz tvs can do with most games. Gamers and developers alike are always hunting for ways to heighten their gameplay experiences. Which is why we're excited about up-scaled 4k at terrible frame rates and a technology that isn't available in a quality product for less than $1000 yet, or "HDR". 4k can deliver a level of detail and visual precision that's unprecedented on consoles.

Should have made a 1080p 60hz capable console instead and explained why it's actually an improvement instead of feed your customers a bunch of wordy bs.

Might get hate for this, but 4k 30fps is still in reach, my oc'd 970 does 4k 30fps fine without aa often maxed out on a lot of games. The important thing here is that unlike pc, the ps4 doesn't use dx11, rather a vulkan like api, which coupled with the polaris/vega mixed gpu they're using, should give more desirable results than if the same gpu were running vulkan/dx12 on pc, due to the fact they can focus on a single piece of metal. And tbf, they did say that you do have the option to not play at 4k, and instead at a 1080p with higher settings etc

Your using a really good cpu with your GTX 970. The PS4 pro is going to use a extremely weak amd 8 core cpu with a gpu thats not even as powerful as the GTX 970.

[–]Pie_Flavoured_Piei7-3770k | gtx 970 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Hey quick question seeing you're talking about this specific topic. How do you define if a CPU is weak? Is it based on GHz? Is it based on the model? I'm pretty knowledgeable about computers however whenever I see the whole "this cpu is strong or this cpu is weak" argument I get confused. Mostly with amd processors because I have a better grasp or Intel cpus.

[–]stride630i5 6600k / 16GB ram / 980 ti 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

GHz, architecture, model and maker. Intel cores perform much better than AMD cores at the same GHz (AMD's Zen is coming out soon so it might change). Newer models of the same architecture tend to perform better than the older models at the same GHz. And new architectures tend to perform better than the older architectures at the same GHz.

Shouldn't be an issue, CPU bottlenecks are rarely an occurrence on console for the sheer fact the CPU is actually used to it's best on all 8 cores unlike PC, and the low level api of the PS4 takes care of a lot of this, the same results are reflected on PC too with Vulkan and DX12, we've seen how CPU overhead is drastically improved. It should also be noted that technically they can achieve greater performance with the api than a PC could with the same specs thanks to the fact the api is built for one and one spec only. Also, they did give the Pro a CPU overclock, and from the way things are, everything correlates with the specs DigitalFoundry provided prior to the announcement, an already highly reputable source. It should be around 2.5GHz iirc, the CPU is still hardly great compared to many many PC's, but it really shouldn't be an issue in this case. The Xbox One has had a tad bit faster variant of the same CPU in the PS4, but yet it's hardly ever shown benefits, only the beefier GPU in the PS4 has, which alone indicated the CPU wasn't a bottleneck to begin with. I know this is a long essay lol, but I hope it makes sense and helps clear things up.

when i set my gtx660 + i5-2400 to ps4 settings on Battlefield 4 i get 100-140 fps (versus 45-60 on ps4), not because my 660 is better than the ps4 gpu, its because my 5 years old i5-2400 is 2x faster than the 8 tablet cores and all their to the metal optimization

Interesting, not doubting you, I actually own BF4 on all platforms lol, but I feel like mesh quality and post processing at the very least should be set higher, as well as maybe one or two more.

That's a Unity game. Unity doesn't support multiple cores very well so it's slower on the PS4 because its CPU's strength is its amount of cores. All Unity games have issues on console, this is Unity's fault tho because they didn't optimize the engine

last time i checked 970 is about the same power as 780ti, and from experience i can tell it has at least 2x teraflops.

addendum. checked teraflops

ps4 gpu has 1.84 teraflops

780ti has 5 teraflops

970 has 4 teraflops

ofc these doesn't correlate directly into performance but it should give some info.

TFlops constitute to computational performance and can only be compared to one another GPU's that are of the same architecture, so in this case the comparison is pointless. After overclocking my 970 which i've run for 2 years now, I've calculated using the equation for calculating compute performance in flops, that mine is just over 5TFlops, though as I said, it means nothing in this case.

You literally can't compare the 2 just like that, you're forgetting that the PS4 runs a low level api like vulkan designed for that hardware alone, and the fact that we don't even know if it's an RX 480, Sony said in there conference that there GPU is Polaris based but borrows feats from Vega too. Not to forget that's one game that's not even out for the normal PS4, but funnily enough they actually showed that game of on the Pro during the conference, and it was seemingly running better than that.

Bumping up the resolution has very little hinging on the power of the cpu for performance. If they can get 1080p 30fps with enough gpu headroom to reach 4k, then it would work fine.

I hate how they kept saying 4K this, 4K that but not mention that the PS4 is not able to output 4K but upscale their games to 4K. There's a big difference to that. Also to point out the fact that online games will be the same in terms of performance is really unfair to those who upgrade to the Pro. Then that means there's no reason to upgrade to the Pro if that's the case with some. Sad thing is the general consumer will eat this up and not realize a damn thing.

They claimed that the new PS4 Pro will have double the GPU power.

The original had a modified Radeon 7870, so surely the new one would have similar performance to a PC running Crossfire 7870s?

According to benchmarks, CF 7870s are equivalent to a GTX 970 in raw power.

So surely it wouldn't be that far-fetched to expect a PS4 Pro to be able to output games at 4K 30FPS?

All for 400 dollars, coupled in with a controller and other things? How much is sony/amd losing on each console sold?

A few years ago news stories were going around that AMD sold their SoCs (CPU/GPU chip) to the console manufacturers for about $100 (and made decent profit on it). That leaves $300 left for the PCB, RAM, case, etc plus manufacturing costs.

I don't see any problem with Sony being able to build at 4k 30fps console for under $400. They may not make almost any profit on it, indeed the profit margin of the current PS4 at launch was assumed to be only $20, but it isn't a huge money sink in any way.

Yes and no. Depends on what youre aiming for, i'm running native 4K on my 970 and it sputters and struggles on modern games. Tried Doom, and struggled hard. 30fps is a 100% given outside of fights, but held pretty stable to 30fps in fights though(this is around medium settings, which I assume is what the console is aiming for). It's not far-fetched, but there are lots of "if"s in question. I know that if it is at that point, in the years following its release, they will switch to upscaled 4k due to increasing game demands.

Why are console developers so obsessed with resolution and graphics? Why not finally move up to 60 fps? We got that shit on PC in the 90's, and the consoles still can't deliver it regularly. I'd much rather play PS3 quality graphics at 60 fps than PS4 quality graphics at 30 fps. Any brother would be able to confirm this, so how come the peasants are oblivious? This is basic stuff guys...

Can someone give me an unbiased explanation on what 4K hdr is? Is it similar to up-scaling/down-scaling? Do PC's have HDR?

A 4K TV has a panel with a 3840x2160 resolution. A 4k HDR tv is the same resolution, but MUCH brighter and can produce a much larger color gamut. With a broader range of colors, if done correctly, content can be produced to display closer to what you would see in real life as opposed to a traditional hd monitor. Hope that helps!

It's not, it's upscaling 1080p and filling the space by stretching the image.

[–]SupremeMystique 0ポイント1ポイント  (3子コメント)

can't you do that with any gaming console? It's just upscaling right?

[–]ChadiusTheBadi5 6600K / GTX 1070 / ASUS Z170A / X61 0ポイント1ポイント  (2子コメント)

Correct. As an example, if you take an image that's 1920x1080 pixels, then enlarge it to 3840x2160, you're still technically looking at a 4K image due to its resolution. But the image was captured at 1920x1080 originally so the software used to enlarge it created new pixels between the original pixels to make it look as natural as possible. This would be considered "upscaling".

[–]SupremeMystique 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

Then why is this listed as a new feature of PS4 Pro? This is just regular upscaling of 1080p on to 4k display. You can do this with a PS4.

The PS4 Plus will actually be outputting at 4k. When you go into your settings on ps4 you will see the max video output setting at 1920x1080, on the ps4 plus there will be a 4k option (just like the XB1S) So expect sharper menus, 4k streaming video, and yes.. games upscaled by the ps4 Plus instead of your tv. I'm sure it will still be better than playing a regular ps4 on a 4k tv.. but in my opinion not worth going out and buying a new $400 playstation just to stream some video when 90% of the 4k tvs out there right now are smart tvs with all the video apps built into them. Sony royally f'd up by not including a 4k bluray player in the ps4 plus, which they INVENTED... even the XB1S has that.

GTX 970: 4K ▷ Mirror's Edge Catalyst (FRAME-RATE TEST) - Skylake i7 6700K 5 - This is mirror's edge a frostbite game running at majority medium settings Texture, motion blur, and postprocessing are turned to high. This thing can't even keep 30 locked. Its jumping everywhere. That's with a better CPU.
In Theory: Can The PlayStation Pro GPU Deliver 4K Gaming? 1 - Can you send me a link?I've watched their neo videos. They fully admit they don't have the full specs and some of its speculation and they won't know until the full specs were revealed. I'm watching this one right now
U$450 PC vs PS4 on Battlefield 4: PC = 2x PS4 1 - we have a lot of evidence to check every aspect, digital foundry also spends lots of time on it, but anyone playing it on pc and ps4 knows its below high settings and 900p
U$450 PC - Oddworld New 'n' Tasty! PC=73fps (4xMSAA) vs PS4 43fps (FXAA) 1 - here is another cpu bound title, my 2011's cpu gets almost 2x ps4 performance with better settings

With PS4, we're pretty much maxing out what 1080 TVs can do with most games.

This is not misleading. This is not fraud. Notice that they're not saying "We are maxing out what 1080 TV's can do", they're saying "We're pretty much maxing out what 1080 TV's can do". "Pretty much" can mean anything from "We are" to "We're sort of close".

Besides, it could also be argued on Sony's part that this was a research error.

[–]MrPeligro -3ポイント-2ポイント  (20子コメント)

They also claim they will be bringing HDR via firmware update. Do they really thing people are this stupid to believe what they are saying? They also claim the PS4 pro will have 4k gaming and shown off a mass effect gameplay trailer supposedly in 4k running natively on the PS4 pro.

Come on sony. Why the fuck you lying?

HDR has been a thing with AMD for years now, there's no reason why they shouldn't be able to.

Might get hate for this, but 4k 30fps is still in reach, my oc'd 970 does 4k 30fps fine without aa often maxed out on a lot of games. The important thing here is that unlike pc, the ps4 doesn't use dx11, rather a vulkan like api, which coupled with the polaris/vega mixed gpu they're using, should give more desirable results than if the same gpu were running vulkan/dx12 on pc, due to the fact they can focus on a single piece of metal. And tbf, they did say that you do have the option to not play at 4k, and instead at a 1080p with higher settings etc

[–]MrPeligro 0ポイント1ポイント  (7子コメント)

I reserve judgement on that. With video games, its seeing than actually believing. Until its at retail, I don't know what the truth is. Here's a video of a frostbite game running at 4k. with a better cpu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aTKEJCvCdCI I don't know man. I think it'll bullshit. We'll see. I don't think you can get something equivalent to a 970 or a little lower than that for base price for a console.

They already said it's using a mix of the AMD Polaris arc and even some Vega stuff, it should be around RX 480 power, and with the api the PS4 uses which is comparable to Vulkan as I said before, on paper it does seem capable. DigitalFoundry are a great reputable source for the Neo hardware and they discuss it in much detail. The important thing to remember is that Sony aren't buying chips from AMD the same way us guys do, they work closely togethor, and given the fact that they can buy in bulk, and that the PS4 is undoubtably one of AMD's better sources of income, as well as the fact that it doesn't cost AMD much more or less between developing different GPU dies. Similar to Intel, a Pentium could be an i7 with some bad bits disabled, just because the GPU seems beefy doesn't mean they couldn't somehow get it out there for a good price.

[–]MrPeligro 0ポイント1ポイント  (5子コメント)

We will see when the console releases. Until then, we're left to speculate. We have no specs to base our analysis on. Only vagueness of sony's statements.

Except the vague things they said only point to one direction, i.e a 480 like GPU, which just so happens to perfectly correlate to what DigitalFoundry reported on regarding the dev kit they had seen, and DigitalFoundry has been regarded as one of the best sources of info

It is. It will be upsampled 4k, basically like that crappy thing Nvidia rolled out (forgot what it's called) where it takes 1080p and upsamples it by making it all fuzzy. It's certainly not real 4k.
