I have no clue how this works, but one would think that MS/Sony would pay the price that they negotiated when they ordered the material and not the price that potentially changes after a couple months, no? Don't think this would make any difference, especially not a noticeably one.
From what I recall, MS never gave explicit TF figure to any outlet. Their assertion has always been in terms of performance multiplier. Per DF, A 5700XT (~9.7TF) running at its usual clock (albeit it paired with a significantly better CPU was revealed to have 2x real world performance compared to X's GPU.
Now, taking into the account that both next gen platforms are said to be using "big navi gpu" aka NOT 5700XT but some form of better and far more manufacturer centric customized solution as well as Kleegamefan public assertion that both of them possess double digit TF (presumably RDNA) figures, it stands to reason that they are at least 10TF.
Also, in that same thread, there was a post by anexanhume that estimated the clock speed for a specified no. of CUs in the potentially next Series X's GPU which equated to around 12.083TF (IIRC). This post was responded to by Kleegamefan with a simple, "Bingo".
So, all in all, speculation-wise, Series X is around 83GFlops over 12TF mark. However, setting aside the speculation, there is nothing on PS5 to claim 12+ TF figure for it (well both of them) is set in stone.
It is for this reason I was curious as to whether you had come across any new concrete information that would conclusively put both consoles in specifically to 12+ TF camp.

The prices are locked in when they sign manufacturing deals. The prices won't drop until the amount in the agreements are reached and they make new ones
Well I'm just going to chill with the OG switch until they release the next version. This stuff gets me hype for it though. I gotta chill. Can't wait to we get a tech Rumor thread for that.
Modiz the true goat!!
Now we can put all that silly PS5
has 36CU/8TFs speculation to rest.
Little by little, all the pieces of the puzzle are falling in to place for an incredible next gen machine!
Not sure why - we have proven countless times over the years that half refresh rate with NV is perfect. Quite literally perfect. Something is wrong with your Set up I think.
Sorry, maybe I'm misunderstanding.
do I need to use NVidia half refresh alongside rtss or just NVidia half refresh rate? RTSS frame cap often has bad frame pacing despite having headroom.
I have an RTX 2080 and a Ryzen 2600 OC'd to 4 GHZ.
I don't notice frame pacing issues at higher frame rates so I'm skeptical my system is borked. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding how I'm supposed to utilize them. I always thought it was one or the other.
You have to use half refresh rate by itself.
It quite literally is perfect though, there is no way it cannot work incorrectly as it is driver Vsync - not some fiddly Software one that can have Problems.
Direct commmunicati8n between gpu and Monitor basically.
Do not use half refresh rate and rtss at the same time.
Ok cool, so never actually tried NVidia half refresh rate and only ever used half refresh in games or RTSS. You are right. It looks really smooth comparatively to in game options or rtss.
just tried it out with Control at 1440 and all features maxed out with ray tracing. It does indeed have better frame pacing with the NVidia method. Good to know for the future!
I wonder why in game options are so shoddy.
