Man Remedy really needs to work on making their titles run better on console. This whole patch seems pointless. PSSR implementation is very poor and the performance ends up being worse than the base ps5 performance mode. Definitely one of the least effective patches released for the pro so far. The fact that it’s running 40% slower than an rtx 4070 in pure rasterization should say something. Anyways, looking forward to more pro vs pc comparisons specifically with titles which have received better patches and are more performant

Unimpressive showing from the Pro here, but not entirely surprising given this is an Nvidia sponsored title. I'm curious how it compares to a 6800. It's too early to draw conclusions, but what we've seen so far from the purported RDNA 4 RT cores in the Pro is not inspiring confidence in the legitimacy of "leaked" (rumored) 8800XT RT performance (on par with the 4070TiS-4080). Also, I just joined the Patreon and just wanted to say that the image quality on the video downloads is fantastic!

Told you that equating the ps5 Pro's GPU with a 4070 was absurd. Even without considering RT or AI.

Alan wake is the biggest outlier game to test like the worst one 43% faster than ps5pro how 🤔 when on normal 4070 is around 50/60% faster than regular ps5 this makes no sense
