bradzilla posted:Almost as though it's intended for the rest of the console's lifespan when pre-loads will be a thing Yeah, I get that. I'm just noting that I found it amusing that they actually have pre-loads set up prior to launch when Sony's already just been giving out codes.

From that FAQ:quote:Can I transmit my shared content to the new PlayStation App for mobile devices for easy mobile sharing? ???????? This needs some unpacking but it sounds like the new Hack for this is going to be creating a party by yourself and sharing to it? This seems roughly on par with the previous hack of publishing Activity to PSN with an audience of "No One", and definitely preferable to dumping things into a Message to a dummy account. I'm still... not entirely sure what Game Base is or why it's mentioned here but at an optimistic reading it sounds like I'll just be able to choose "share to party" from the same menu you can Tweet or Tube from.

Volte posted:If you can achieve 60fps at an adaptive resolution above 1080p and downsample it to 1080p, then why would would want to lock the internal framebuffer to 1080p in the first place? Good call, wasn't thinking about that. So yeah instead how about, "if 1080p output mode selected in PS5 config menu, automatically enable Better Graphics mode and move max framerate lock from 30fps to 60fps" then just let adaptive resolution do its thing for effectively free anti-aliasing when available.

Have any goons who pre-ordered from Best Buy had their unit ship yet?SlyFrog posted:Are we sure? I literally just ordered the OLED a day ago. I still have the ability to cancel the order. IDK, I am honestly not going to worry about it. I think you'll be pretty impressed with the set. Plus we have another goon in the thread saying they use it with Gsync and didn't notice any issues. Plus, according to reddit QLEDs have the same issue...

Also,Fedule posted:It was kind of blink and you'll miss it in the Recommended Settings video but it looks like PS5 will indeed have a web browser, so, This has now been directly contradicted by the FAQ, so I don't know what the Browser in that video was referring to. Maybe it's like Switch where there's a couple things that bring up a browser window even though there's not A Web Browser.

Does the PS5 work like PCs where the lower resolution you go, the more CPU-dependent the game becomes? Or does it not matter since CPU and GPU are all in one chip?

qbert posted:Does the PS5 work like PCs where the lower resolution you go, the more CPU-dependent the game becomes? Or does it not matter since CPU and GPU are all in one chip? It's not so much that lowering the resolution makes a game more CPU dependent, it's that increasing the frame-rate and removing the GPU bottleneck will make a game more CPU dependent. An system on chip vs a CPU / GPU setup wouldn't change this.

qbert posted:Does the PS5 work like PCs where the lower resolution you go, the more CPU-dependent the game becomes? Or does it not matter since CPU and GPU are all in one chip? It has nothing to do with the CPU and GPU being on one chip. Generally games become more CPU-dependent as framerate goes up, since naturally there's CPU work involved in rendering each frame. This is true on any hardware, console or PC. However with console games you usually don't have many graphics settings to play with, or insight into internal framerate or CPU/GPU util, so it's less apparent. So if you're on a PC playing a GPU-bottlenecked game, and you drop resolution and use resulting GPU overhead to increase framerate (or just turn off vsync and uncap the framerate), you will likely see CPU util increase as you drop the resolution. The GPU has less work to do each frame, allowing it to render more frames, thus forcing the CPU to render more frames to keep up. If a console game and its performance profiles fit that model, then it'll have the same effect. If Spider-Man: MM's quality mode enhancements don't put additional load on the CPU, then it's likely that its lower framerate will cause it to use less CPU than performance mode. On the other hand, you have games like Hitman 2 that are bottlenecked by the CPU on the last-gen consoles. Hitman 2 couldn't hit locked 60 FPS at any resolution on any PS4 model because the CPU couldn't handle it, lowering resolution wouldn't help there. That's why Hitman 2 easily gets a locked 60 on PS5's much faster CPU. acksplode fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Nov 9, 2020 |

So for a game like Miles Morales, this means that a locked 60fps at 1080p would use the exact same CPU power as the locked 60fps Performance mode?

That depends on a few things, you really have to be able to monitor the system directly to be certain. A game may render at a higher internal framerate than the display refresh rate. So it's possible that quality mode is hovering just above 60 FPS internally while performance mode is going buck wild rendering at like 100, and if that's the case then performance mode will still consume more CPU time. Those frames you aren't seeing still have a cost. And quality mode may add features that require CPU, making them harder to compare directly. However if the game locks the internal framerate to 60 in both modes, and quality mode doesn't add any features that chew CPU, then yeah I'd expect both modes to have the same CPU usage. I have no idea how Spider-Man manages its internal framerate, someone who knows more about the game probably would.
