Bandwitdh issues more like, since it's shared between CPU and GPU.
Keep in mind this is all still backwards compatible code and the Xbox consoles seem better equipt to handle these. Similar results were seen with games like Final Fantasy XV when both consoles launched. On paper the PS5 is still the fastest in terms of SSD but this mostly comes to fruition on next-gen games.
Fuck, id even bump the resolution down for 16x af. Its super strange to still see it missing.
This patch is still the last-gen version of the game, just with a patch. So the game still won't touch the maxed out PC version.
Truly the biggest mystery, it's among the least taxing settings on PC, and yet it gives quite a noticeable visual upgrade.
Faster CPU in the Series X is the only thing I can think of. Maybe it offsets some of the SSD speed disparity.
Should be easy to find out on XSX as you can find out whether it's Durango or Scarlett devkit code looking at the game properties. If the former then it's basically just a 'next gen aware' patch. I'll have to download it and give it a try myself tonight.
Ah, makes sense.
Even if it has a lower resolution, slower loading, and somewhat worse fog/reflections, it's not something that should be a major detractor for you.
Makes sense. The PS4 Pro seems to hold back the PS5 in some of the last gen game comparisons, like with Star Wars Squadrons
Cyberpunk is a mess and not a good example of anything
Yeah, it appears Sony has deliberately throttled read speeds for PS4 games, presumably to help ensure compatibility.
No prob! It's a great game, especially for £8. I plan on playing this with my wife (me on Series X, her on Series S).
Yes, but the XSX backwards compatibility profile is different from the PS5's. It seems (from DF comments, observational clues from these past months) that way more hardware can be accesed in the Xbox BC mode, while PS5 limits itself to a somewhat boosted PS4 Pro profile all the time.
Yep! I keep my Series S in my basement, but we've got a 24" 1080p we use when we play together. Just bring the Series S upstairs & plug it into the monitor. Super convenient.
It's still the PS4 game, just patched to take advantage of the PS5.
wait you play on a TV 4k@60fps and let your wife play on a 24" 1080p monitor? How does that even work, how many times did she threaten to file for divorce? :D
It's really just a frame cap removal, largely.
Remember this runs in BC mode on the respective consoles and MS solution is simply more flexible. Btw, there is more to loading than SSD bandwidth.
Kinda, but Squadrons is also hold back by PS5's BC solution. Developers literally can't enable 120FPS, unless they do a native port of the game.
