PS5 PRO Review - The PC Gamer Perspective...

[@TheBatosai]

As a PC owner, nothing is more pitiful to me than PC dudes bashing the PS5 Pro, #1 we do not use disk drives in most PC these days to play games. #2 I hate how much they are trying to convince gamers that a $700 PC is a better gaming device than the Pro. #3 HOW ARE PC GAMERS complaining bout incremental improvements when they have to do that very thing every 2 to 3 years to get the most from their RIG! #4 "The PC does more than the PS5 Pro" I think if PC gamers have not realised, the Pro is focused on gaming, and not a damn Adobe or MS word utility. Then they should stop gaming and begin learning to use common sense online. Buy and enjoy the tech you own and stop bashing things other want/have.

Aight, pinning this dog.

[@MrCheesegr8r]

Another pc gamer here, 100% agree. They also don't tell you how expensive everything becomes when you wannt upgrade. Like you need a whole new motherboard just to upgrade to newer cpus.

[@OldManGamingGuru]

Facts on facts! Besides the Pro can’t be measured! It’s designed for end user satisfaction i.e. what we actually see and experience. The. Pro has rendered meters, overlays and benchmarks, irrelevant. The level of your satisfaction and level of experience will depend on your TV…120hz, hdmi 2.1, VRR and ALLM( to compensate for the TV’s AI upscaler, if you have a good Sony or LG)are all mandatory to see what this magic Cerny created actually does!!!! Good Video Bro!

As all things gamer here I agree 100 percent. I own all consoles and a gaming PC due to the fact that I love this hobby and some of the people I game with including my Son who is an Xbox and PS gamer and who’s an active Military service member over seas, it is nice to be able to play online games with him on Series X or PS. I have friends who are PC gamers and love to game with them as well. I love portable gaming on the go and love Nintendo IP so switch is my jam for that. With the addition of PC handheld gaming I love being able to take my Steam,GOG and Epic game libraries with me on the go or in my bedroom at night. The thing is that each platform has their strengths and weaknesses. This generation is the best time to be a gamer as you can game on multiple devices and have access to all different platforms with games from all different publishers at your fingertips. You couldn’t do that in the late 80s up till mid 2000s like you can now. Enjoy playing the games you want and don’t believe the negative hype around the PRO. It’s amazing and I’m loving mine so far

[@Onlydansmtb]

I love how "average" your reviews are, for 99% of consumers the average experience is what matters, i used to build PC's a few years back for the graphics power, overclock etc. but really when it comes down to it, a simple console setup with a good output will satisfy me now over the headache that is PC building.

Thank you for the words. To me gaming is gaming. As along as it's a good time I'm happy.

[@CC42_]

I've got 2 huge issues with the Pro so far: #1 Sony is doing a terrible job actually supporting this thing with their own games...there are 8 major Sony owned PS5 exclusives that don't even have Pro patches and none of them are listed as getting one in the future! That's a lot of games to be ignoring on your new $800 (with disc drive and stand) console ...here they are: Returnal (big room for improvement comparing this to PC version), Uncharted 4 Remastered ( same situation as LoU2 remastered before Pro patch, 1440p/60 doesn't look great), Death Stranding Dir Cut, Ghost of Tsushima (this could really use some higher settings like PC has), Sackboy (doesn't need a patch really), Destiny 2 (games are starting to look their age), Silent Hill 2 (it's supposed to have one but it's broken on the Pro- game looks bad now) and of course ....the new Lego Horizon game came out AFTER the Pro and still isn't supported (wtf message does that send?); Astrobot (game could benefit from some better ambient occlusion for a start), and finally Days Gone and God of War 2019 are technically PS4 games still but both have remasters on PC so it would make sense to throw console players a bone and update these. #2 the console is still underpowered evidenced by the fact that many of the Pro enhanced 60fps updates have been done on a games PERFORMANCE MODE rather than their Fidelity Pro modes which retains 30 fps! The console is out 4 years after ps5 and has DOUBLE the CU cores that PS5 has, so why are we only seeing 35% improvement in games? Most likely because its still starved for memory bandwith and clearly, the cost of using PSSR is more expensive than people anticipated...so after applying PSSR there's not much headroom left for other effects- this is evidenced by games like Alan Wake 2 which has a rather disappointing Pro update, havibg to upscale from like 860p resolution and the 30 fps mode still shimmers like crazy and only added RT reflections. Or Spiderman 2 which in its Pro modes at 60 fps actually have worde IQ than Insomniacs prior temporal upscaling, most likely due to having to upscale from a lower res. Then we see games like Rise of the Ronin which even in its Graphics mode which had an unlocked framerate, still runs terribly in the high 30's to low 40 fps range. Why? Because the cost of PSSR. Or even a game like Elden which while its not patched can't lock to 60 fps in performance mode. Now don't get me wrong some of these games on Pro now look great- LoU 1+2, Forbidden West, Jedi Survivor (in 30 fps mode), Spiderman 2 being able to run additional RT features is really cool, Resident Evil 4 now runs with everything maxed at a locked 60 fps ...i'm just a bit bummed out that we're still having to chopse Performance mode in most of these games to get 60...lower settings than Fidelity mode guys which runs contrary to what the entire sales pitch of the console is- getting "near Fidelity mode visuals at 60 fps" that's the case in a few games but it should be ALL or at least MOST games. One more thing- no Cyberpunk 2077, Space Marines 2, and Black Myth Wukong patches is such a bummer. As a console only gamer i was really hoping to finally play Cyberpunk at something resembling PC settings ...Black Myth is a stunning game but desperately needs a patch along with Space Marine. You'd think Sony would've done all they could to get the latest and greatest desired games supported ..who knows maybe they'll come still.

[@CC42_]

Not to be a total downer there are some games that are transformed on Pro like FF7 Rebirth, others that look insane now like Forbidden West, Last of Us 1+2, Gow Ragnarok, Jedi Survivor (at 30 fps), Stellar Blade, AW2 while disappointing does look better, Lords of the Fallen, Lies of P, Dead Island 2 and Dying Light 2 (both better but not huge differences), Diablo 4, and a few others ...i just am kinda shocked at Sony not supporting all their games for an $800 console...it'd be a shame if they just ignore certain games that would be wayyy better with a Pro patch!

[@MinimalisTech]

Lotta great points here brotha. I think there coulda been more pro patches too actually now that you mention it. I think perhaps games yet released may benefit the most like Ghost of Yotei and GTA6. We’ll have to wait and see!

For a tree in the distance to be slightly sharper. It really became a bit of an addiction trying to get the best I could, yet not really playing games anymore. I kept the PC and switched to the ps5 and my life is so much easier. When you’ve seen the highest frames, best native resolutions etc nothing impresses you really. 4k 60 and 1440 120 is more than suffice for me now.

Current most popular GPU on steam...a rtx 3060... Next most popular...a 4060. So when people talk about how much more a pc can do, you need to qualify that statement and also quantify how much you need to spend to get those results. I'm an ex pc gamer myself and back in day I ran with a GTX 690 when it came out, sli version of what was the most expensive consumer GPU at time, but I paid through the nose for the experience. Currently to buy a better pc from scratch, even when scrimping a bit on parts and case etc, you can't make your own pc for less than a ps5 pro (let alone buying one ready made). Them you need to factor in if you want to buy a good monitor (existing pc gamers will already have one most likely, but for me, it would have meant buying an oled monitor that cost almost as much as pro, if I didn't want to end up with inferior image quality than my existing TV) and keyboard and mouse (or at least a game pad to play games and a cheap mouse and kb to get around your pc (you could use steam os if you really wanted, but we all know that has limitations) There's always grey areas that people kinda just ignore when making argument for pc Vs console ( it works both ways in reality)

[@MinimalisTech]

great points here dude! my 690 lasted aaaaaaggges when I built that one out too haha. Gaming is gaming to me, I agree too, always grey areas. People love to moan about PC vs Console, it's wild

[@那人冷靜一點]

You saying like there's a bunch of people buying the pro, but in reality most console players are still on their ps4pro or ps5😂😂 which is gtx1050ti and rtx2070 respectively. Meanwhile there are 10%+ users on steam that's using a 3080/4070 or better gpu, which is at least 40% faster than the newest console😂😂😂😂

[@victorflint7534]

​@@那人冷靜一點where are your sales figures coming from? If you get off hate channels, there are millions of ppl around the US alone who bought it and love it. Not having supply chain issues is not a sign of poor sales, it's good planning. Also, ps4/ps4 pro users were waiting on this pro version bc the jump to ps5 was EXTEMELY underwhelming and hardly had any games up until this year. I'm so happy with my purchase, especially since I didn't waste $500 like an idiot buying a ps5 in the last 3 years with that atrocity of a launch.

I am very pleased and happy with it. I offered to buy my sister the Pro and upgrade. She has zero interest in it and still does not want it. She’s very happy still with the base PS5.

Great review! As has been mentioned it’s nice to hear an ‘average gamers’ review as that embodies most of us. Having said that I have a PS5 Digital original, a PS5 Slim digital and I bought the PS5 Pro. I’ve run each of them through the same 4K 144hz Dolby Vision/HDR10 etc tv. I returned the Pro. Was it better than the base? Yes. Was it $430 better than the base? (Canada- $959 plus tax vs $579 Slim) No. I spent more time pixel peeping and staring at it looking for the BIG advantage. For the cost, the Pro is definitely for the enthusiast and the gamer that has to have the latest and greatest. I may revisit down the road if/when the price comes down quite a bit or they cut the price. Just my 2 cents as someone who has the base and spent a week with the Pro.

I am SO sick of chasing the hardware requirements on pc to maintain decent gameplay. The price of the components and sometimes requires a complete rebuild is disgusting. I just went through re thermal pasting my cpu and gpu, had to get new thermal pads, etc etc took a whole weekend. I get on the pc and get distracted by KZbin and end up never playing games. When I DO play games like black ops 6 recently I get put into PC lobbies with hackers, mouse and key when I want to play controller. Unoptimized games for pc. IM DONE. I’m getting mad just typing this. Also don’t forget to get that new mouse, that wooting keyboard, those sick headphones. That $800 monitor. All so I can get into hacker lobbies? Or get smoked by shroud in valorant? I can’t enjoy any single player games because I need to be a Harvard engineer to set my graphics settings to make the next new game playable on pc. Also don’t forget to edit the reg file until they release a patch in 3 months. I could go on and on. Software problems, monitors settings, reformats, driver errors, usb port types. Pc not working? Google and get familiar with the inside of your pc. These are things pc players don’t tell you.

[@dreadedmontana9851]

If you look at the tech inside the pro it’s worth 200 more bucks

[@frantz4g63]

​@dreadedmontana9851 considering no disc drive, I'd say it's still worth the extra $200. It has just over 1TB more storage, access to PSSR (probably the biggest deal), a more powerful GPU (up to 45% more power, but average about 30%), a slight CPU overclock, increased and faster RAM, better WiFi, etc. Future games will get PSSR support, so it'll be the best way to game on a Sony console. Now for those who are still on 1080p LCD displays and even those amongst who probably can't tell the difference between 30fps and 60fps, then the Pro becomes useless to them essentially.

I am not sure who mentioned this from "tech youtubers" but for ps4 - 80% procent was regular, 20% was ps4 pro - or lets call it play station for enthusiasts and or perfectionist or super rich people. I think it's going to be similar for the ps5 era... For me jump from ps4 to ps5 wasnt big of a deal because my older tv had excellent picture processing so even 30fps games looked like 60 fps. Then when I bought ps5 all of them work on 60 fps which is amazing because new 65 inch tv 120 hz has very bad picture processing. So it's not only the console , your tv or monitor is also important. Recently i fulfilled all my childhood dreams and I own every current console and a pc. To be onest xbox series s with game pass ultimate is an amazing thing. Console is 250€, game pass 156€ a year and I can play on a pc and on a console, best thing ever.

@@MinimalisTech To be honest I don't like occlusion, fog, ultra shadows in games etc. I always prefer to have them off or on lower settings when I play on pc. That would be the main difference between series x and series s. Bump in resolution I don't really see from my couch. If the game is 30 fps I won't play it or I will play it somewhere else ( plague tale requiem for example was one of those). I was thinking to buy series x, but then I remembered that I have only one 2.1 hdmi port and it's occupied with ps5. It was a sign that enough is enough. I don't really like the point of view from first world countries on tech. Let's call it "Ultra". Pc gaming is actually more fun and affordable that people think. Everyone dreams about 4090, but in fact 10040f (113€ new) or 3600( 90€ new) 16gb ram and 4060 can output 90fps on ultra according to hardware unboxed benchmarks. With slight lowering of settings and ai upscaling and frame generation tech it will be even more. Pair it with cheep 100hz monitor. "Download games" from "girl which is fit" and/or Russian torrent forums if you can't afford the games( But then when that moment happens in your lives that you finally can - please support the game makers). I think that games should be benchmarked in 1080p low and 1080p ultra settings. That way both rich and poor countries and everyone else can benefit from the info. Range is what matters. Most people watch reviews because they are thinking ("dreaming") what to buy. There is nothing bad about 1080p 60hz on low settings. Don't dream, do something that your wishes came true!

[@theramennoodler7950]

I say stick with the pc, since the ps5 pro is more equivalent to a 3060-3070, your gpu alone will be most likely on par with the ps6.

[@那人冷靜一點]

Just stick with the pc, the ps5pro is a 3060ti which will be 50-60% slower than a 4070ti, that's big difference

I've just downloaded and played my first ever replay game on the pro- Last of Us part II. I have 4K and VRR capability and I just love the exclusive "pro" picture mode. I am very impressed already.

[@Real.384]

The truth is anyone who doesnt have a 4k tv 120hz or 4k monitor. Does not need this.. most casual wont see a difference

[@mmstick]

That's not true. While you should have a 4K display by now, the biggest selling point is improved performance. Both in flatscreen games such as Metaphor, Rise of Ronin, and every single UE5 game. Remnant II and Lords of the Fallen renders at 768p on the base PS5, while Dragon's Dogma II is unplayable. There are so many games that struggle to get 20-30 FPS on the base PS5. They perform so badly that the frame pacing is abysmal. VRR only works if you get 48 FPS minimums. It's especially useful in PSVR2 games, such as how Vertigo 2 was borderline unplayable, while No Man's Sky and CyubeVR were very blurry.

[@gianniphipps180]

Yeah majority of the people in this world are ignorant to technology including myself, but I'm one of the ones who will do research. Ever since 4k TV's came out I quickly realized you have to do homework on technology these days. I plan on buying the Pro and I understand what it can do. Also, I want to be the judge for myself. I also want to add is Sony's PSSR I definitely believe in and I'm sure over time it will improve. Why I believe in Sony's PSSR, because Sony has always been known for their superior picture quality with their TV's and cameras. Since they're involved on that side in the tech world, what makes you think the PSSR is trash when they have been learning about upscaling technology do to their involvement in the TV and video department? So yeah, people just want to find something to hate about. If you want the PRO buy it if not, move around! That simple!

[@ArtyCollectz]

[@Carlos-wl5fn]

good point, in the PC space you have to live with a 4/5 year cycle but now most people feel pressured to update on each gpu gen which is crazy. You need to think wisely on your first build so that the next update is just cpu/gpu combo or just GPU but it can be done. If you feel the pressure and urge and that makes you anxious then yes, a console is better

[@ALKALINE75]

I have a PC with RTX 3080 Ti and 32 Gb RAM. I have the regular PS5 and I buy the PS5 timed exclusives on PC. How would the PS5 Pro compare to the RTX 3080 Ti? Would upgrading from standard PS5 to Pro be a big improvement, or should I just wait for games like Spider-Man 2 to release on PC next year (Jan 2025)?

[@frantz4g63]

Your 3080 Ti is definitely more powerful than the PS5 Pro, no doubt about that. I think the upgrade from PS5 to Pro is worth doing IF cost is a non-issue. FSR is not a good upscaler, so if PSSR continues to take priority, then the PS5 Pro increases in value to the user. I believe that's absolutely necessary. Will it outdo a 3080Ti or any high-end PC? Absolutely not, but it's the best Sony console on the planet for at least the next few years, so Playstation exclusives (or timed exclusives) should perform exceptionally on it.

[@Carlos-wl5fn]

@@frantz4g63 PSSR is not to a good start. It will improve but it will take some time. PS5 pro does not have dedicated hardware to support PSSR so the gpu takes a hit

@@theramennoodler7950 Which examples? High framerate modes have proliferated this generation, the number of PS5 games to run only 30 fps is in the literal single digits, I think less than 5 actually. The only issues the ps5 has had I believe is performance modes on games such as Final Fantasy can have lower than ideal resolutions, thus the PS5 Pro with upgraded GPU/upscaling tech benefits greatly.

Frankly, yes, the console is expensive for a console, but it doubles the disk space and even improves games that weren't originally designed to be on the PS5 Pro... We can say it's already doing a good job! For PC gamers, sorry, but the world of components, whether it's graphics cards or processors, keeps getting more expensive! Additionally, the videos flooding the internet with claims like "a PC at the same price as the PS5 Pro does a bit better"... Ok... but you're comparing a turnkey product with one that requires regular maintenance and often waiting for stuttering fixes, etc.... No, I repeat, it's a good console! Expensive for a "console," but good at what it does!

[@shayanali8771]

I consider the PS5 Pro an 800$ machine. One of the biggest selling points of a console is its disc drive. While currently PC is exclusively digital, it doesn't make any sense to not own a disc drive because the console platform is already limited and disc drive is its best feature that allows you to save money as you can play used physical games or share them with your friends. Now while you still can't build system with specs like Pro for 800$, i would suggest that when you are spending that amount of money already, spend a bit more and built a 1000$ PC with a 5700x3d, a much stronger CPU than Pro that can consistently deliver 60 fps unlike Pro. It provides features as well like Cheaper digital games, emulation, mod support, unlocked framerate and resolution and no charity donation to Sony for multiplayer access lol.

I have a PC and no, I can’t just turn it on from my couch or bed with the press of a controller button. I also can leave any games running on it and expect to wake it up from sleep and just resume my game without your daily windows/ram leak issue causing me to close the game and restart. I also can’t trust my PC to stay in sleep mode without Windows booting it up because of an update in the middle of the night waking me up. I don’t have to deal with Steam, Epic, Rockstar, GOG, EA, Blizzard and any of the 15 other launchers causing additional bloat and system hang because of anti-cheat software in a kernel level. Console has a lot me benefits than you might think by the looks of it.

@@Boyanhristow You’re absolutely right-consoles are especially important for disabled individuals who can’t get up to press a power button. Gotta love that accessibility!

​@@Boyanhristowi have a 14700KF/4080S and I can comfortably play at a good comfortable distance on my 65" QD-OLED. I play using a Dualsense Edge and have a wireless MK for easy access that the controller does not have access to. Rest mode is a non-issue and can wake with a click of a key stroke or mouse click. Windows auto updates can be prevented. Booting games on PC takes seconds, so auto resuming a game is also a non-issue unless a few extra seconds matters to you. You can't consider personal cons for PC without considering there are convenient ways around them, and without also considering all the upsides of having a good PC that far exceed the console experience. The only issue I'd say is, to get to the point of having a comfortable PC experience, you need to know a thing or two. So for console, if you're ignorant on all hardware/software stand points, it becomes the only choice of comfort.
