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

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

One thing I am finding very poor is that on PS5 they haven't yet updated the machine to do something the PS4 could do and helped me being partially deaf for accessibility. Me and my mrs used to be able to watch movies or shows and chat with plugging in a wired headset to a controller each and being able to voice chat on the same machine. I wish the PS5 could do this. It neant I could hear the show better and her.

[@TheAVJ2]

rebuilding the database should only be a last resort. if you keep rebuilding it the read/write limit will be met and brick the ssd. that feature is better suited for traditional hard drives but the same can be said for the latter because the platter will also be worn out at some point. clearing your cache will help and the m.2 will lighten the load in terms of storage the main ssd will still be the same read/write speed

[@IliaBehdad-dk3nd]

You mean is it useful to do it or not?

[@TheAVJ2]

@@IliaBehdad-dk3nd not really a good idea for SSD in general because the chips get used up everytime you rebuild it and then you wont be able to download or delete what you have on your SSD

I did one last week and I can confirm it has no effect on your games. Little late to reply as I only caught this video now 😅

[@jrkob1156]

The author of this video is poorly informed. Switching to 5G doesn't necessarily improve download speeds as the signal doesn't penetrate walls etc as well as 2.4GHz. You test if it's better first, then decide which is best. Same comment regarding the addition to an SSD, that's probably not going to result in better performance. Man the quality of his videos is dropping steadily. I think the problem is he's out of ideas, recycles old tips and now... just tell garbage that he hasn't researched well. It's a shame, I used to love this channel.

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...

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.

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.

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.

Just a reminder that 120 Hz refresh rate settings are pointless as the console itself cannot render any game’s visuals at 120 fps without absolutely tanking the graphics (hence why practically zero games even offer it as a game mode option). Until both your screen has a 120+ Hz refresh rate, AND you have a future console that reliably outputs 120 fps at a resolution you’re not disgusted by, you don’t have to worry about that.
