Doing This Will Boost PS5 Performance Instantly

You can get better performance on PS5 easily if you just do this & change these settings now! First thing is to change your PlayStation 5 default setting to Performance Mode.. Next, go to your Video Output Settings & make sure VRR, 120hz, & ALLM (Auto Low Latency Mode) are all set to Automatic - then go to your Network Settings for PS5 & hit the "Options" button on the registered network & set to "5Ghz Only".. Now to save TONS of space on your PS5 SSD, go to your Capture & Broadcasts Settings & set "Auto Capture Trophies" to Gold & Platinum PSN Trophies ONLY. You can also disable Auto Capture Challenge Videos to save even MORE space. Next, use Safe Mode to clear the system cache & rebuild database. I also recommend upgrading your PS5 with an M.2 SSD for faster load times & BETTER frame rates for PS5 games. Lastly, remember to use Rest Mode on PS5. That's it! for MORE PS5 tips, tricks, & secrets - leave a "LIKE" rating & SUBSCRIBE!

ONLY CHANGE TO 5ghz IF YOU ARE NEAR THE ROUTER

[@thomaskleingoldewijk2980]

Was looking for this comment and didn't have to look far! For those who don't know 5ghz travels worse through walls etc. than 2.4

[@AntivenomOW]

So if my router is on the opposite side of the wall to my PS5 should I leave it at automatic or do 2.4 GHz? Or would 5 GHz still work in my case?

[@thomaskleingoldewijk2980]

@@AntivenomOW I'm not sure, I just looked it up and the article I read states 5 ghz just has a shorter range so maybe I was wrong. In that case you should be fine but maybe do some research

Adding an additional SSD does not have any affect on load times or fps. Bro tried to sneak that one in there lol

[@subtegral]

Yeah, I was wondering WTF? Is he trying to say the WD_BLACK is better than the internal SSD soldered to the motherboard?

[@123bboymeandyou]

Umm…..

[@whoever_81]

Yup, sloppy video in general. Rest mode is also known to cause problems to many PS5 users.

[@disguisedlizard8681]

Well technically it can. If the internal ssd is full, the ps will run a slight bit worse due to having less space to work with. The same goes for pc's. So storing your games on an extra ssd, and keeping the OG ssd as empty as possible does not give it a boost. But it will make sure that it doesnt get slower

A while ago, my PS5 would sometimes stutter horribly in any game, and I couldn't figure out why. I tried everything with no success, but then I ran the "repair console storage" and that seemed to work. Still hasn't come back.

[@Setsuwo26]

Will you actually get more frames by installing an external SSD? I heard of boot times and of course more storage but I' haven't heard anything about additional frames...

[@antftwx]

No.

[@pwnograffik]

Installing an external SSD has zero affect on load times and fps.

[@fredflintstone5356]

I won’t add anymore frames. Load times maybe, depending on the SSD you put in. The one I have in mine is slightly faster but who notices a quarter second faster loading time anyway over the internal one.

[@xXnBk187Xx]

It doesn't increase fps but absolutely increases load times depending on whether or not the ssd has better specs than the internal one. I can vouch for the western digital ssd in the video, Sony teamed up with them to produce it.

what hdmi cable are you using? and why?

[@Murasaki.]

Thanks John!

[@big-backjack3564]

I bought a used PS5 (GOWR edition, disc) and when I started downloading Xdefiant, the connection for loading assets (like pictures and video media) was so slow! Sometimes I could even see pixelated images on the screen (like the game advertisement banners). As soon as I paused all downloads, it went back to normal. This is bizarre because I used to own a launch day PS5 but this never happened to me (I am using a wired Ethernet connection).

[@eddiechavezjr8623]

[@dxmino7588]

You not alone

[@NIK12787]

If you have external storage such as an external HDD or SSD to put games on it it does not mix well with rest mode because when you turn on your PS5 to get out of rest mode, it gives you an error that the console was not powered off properly despite being in rest mode and has to automatically rebuild database. Surprised Sony has not fixed that problem yet.

[@devilgti3803]

I cant tell if games are loading faster or not but what i can say for fact my fps are constat and there are no frame drops. Try it. Format internal storage and use 2nd drive.

What exactly does the "Rebuild Database" option do?

It's defragmentation. I'm not an expert, but as far as I know, this is a good idea if you're using HDDs, which the PS5 does not. Defragmenting SSDs is usually not recommended.

You should turn off your PS5 in a lightning storm but it isn't going to necessarily brick your console if it happens. A surge protector can help and as long as you aren't downloading something you should be fine. Also it's not power loss that causes damage it's the surge of power that runs through when it comes back on so just unplug it from the outlet and you will be fine.
