We simply don’t know yet. We’re all simply making educated guesses.

It's disgraceful that 30 fps is accepted in this day and age. I have been a gamer for 35 years and it's very very disappointing. 60 just feels 10 times better in every way. What a shame!

@robertjones8856

Frame rate is way more important than resolution to me. If a game isn't 60fps I won't even look at it anymore. 30fps games drop to 20's, it's like going back a decade and unplayable. Best wishes all.

The main flaw in this debate is people don't seem to be realizing how much more balanced the PS5 is then the PS4. True, the Zen 2 chip is not exactly cutting edge at this point and will lead to some compromises and tweaks, but it's a decent and solid chip, whereas the Jaguar was considered weak even when it was first put into previous gen consoles in 2013. PS4 started with a huge CPU bottleneck that remained quite prominent in the PS4 Pro, whereas the PS5 CPU was an absolutely massive upgrade over the previous generation with far more room to scale up than the previous generation. There are limitations, but they are being grossly exaggerated as though a strong AI upscaling technique plus a massive GPU upgrade will be barely noticeable. I'm expecting a substantial improvement, and optimization on average is far more thorough on console than PC games (and I mostly game on PC; have a 5800x and 7900 XTX Nitro, 240 Hz G9 ultrawide monitor, superlight Logitech mouse, SkyPad glass mouse pad, the whole deal). Sony's first party developers in particular are going to get quite a lot out of those hardware upgrades. Imagine what Insomniac will do with that much more power.

I think a Ps5 pro is a pointless cash grab. As soon as the ps5 pro comes out games will just build around it and it’ll result in the same 30fps 4k experience that we have now but with more cash out of our pockets.

@gameindustryinsider6450

Probably should mention, that if Sony actually produced a console with 2x cpu power, you would probably stop seeing 60fps on the base machine and potentially segmenting their own market and development.

@ottomaticallyawesome

I hope there’s at least a 40fps mode.

Rockstar: "bro, GTA v on PS3......."just shut up

Seriously it only seems like yesterday I was watching Rich talking about how Ryzen being in consoles was a big upgrade and how it should hopefully allow for different game experiences/better simulation, saying how the 16x memory increase in PS4 gen paired with decent GPUs was the reason we saw huge graphically impressive games but not much changed in terms of physics and simulation from the prior gen thanks to the Jaguar CPUs, I was hoping Zen CPUs wouldn't just give us better FPS but actually allow for better enemy and NPC AI, better physics and better overall world simulation and I don't think weve seen that at all so far! I'm thinking with PS4/Xbox One generation we simply hit diminishing returns HARD

@mitchelljenkins4815

It turns out that the vast vast majority of slowdown on consoles is caused by GPU bound issues. Again, the CPU situation that DF are describing is not situation we find ourselves in working with Xbox and PS5 consoles. Dragon's Dogma 2 is the exception not the rule and it is broken on the most powerful CPUs available. You are creating a situation where you are creating a false expectation that the Pro will not fix framerates when it absolutely will in most cases.

@skydivin4ng3l

GTA6 On first launch 60fps would cannibalize their business model.

@trs8696

So many games that appear CPU limited have really questionable looking optimisation. It's obviously impossible to perfectly distribute workload perfectly evenly across the cores. But when my pc game starts choking because 1 core is at 100% and the others are all below 20% with most at 0%, I don't think the problem lies with the fundamental limitations of the hardware.

@LostInDistance

End of the day it’s all down to the developers and how well they optimise the game. Even old hardware is more than capable of delivering great looking games that run well. Red Dead 2 is an example. Still looks incredible over most modern games we get today.

@erikhendrickson59

At the very least we better get 40FPS VRR Mode.

@c.daubz.5386

Console makers need to give majority of gamers what they really want true 1440p with locked 60fps games at a reasonable price (it’s only gaming), only a minority of people want more than that and they can go pc for that, going so high end when majority don’t use it raises cost and reduces sales
