There's post PS5 Pro clarity in this week's Direct, with Rich, John and Alex discussing No Man's Sky at 8K resolution (tested!), God of War Ragnarök's patch on PS5 Pro - and the surprise arrival of Death Stranding on Xbox Series X/S. Rich does some performance testing there, leading to fascinating results. Meanwhile, John has a special moment with a new PC monitor, while Alex and Rich prostrate themselves before AMD's Ryzen 7 9800X3D. And yes, why DIDN'T the team do a full specs breakdown of the PS5 Pro's actual packaging?

I hope you lads get some rest over the coming days. Your coverage and expertise are always appreciated; thanks for all the effort over the past few weeks. Be kind to yourselves.

Hey John, I think the monitor you’re looking for is the LG Ultragear 32GS95UE-B. It’s a 32” Dual Mode OLED that can switch between 4K 240Hz and 1080p 480Hz. Might be the ideal thing you’re looking for based on your comments about the Sony monitor, although 1080p at 32” is probably going to be kind of rough.

Brandon Dickerson

Unfortunately that monetor doesn't do proper integer upscaling when receiving a 1080p signal. It does some other kind of scaling the blurs the image somewhat.

Hello, could you possibly revisit the matrix ue5 demo on ps5 pro?

I'd like to see the whole team upgrading to the 9800X3D but i'm particularly interested in John's perspective. I upgraded from a 12900k and it feels like a large upgrade - smoother gameplay all around, but it made a huge difference in cities in Cyberpunk with Path Tracing.
