Ok I realize that I'm kind of confused with how the PS5 will interact with my current display.

I have an Acer Predator Xb1 Xb271hu monitor which does 1440p at 144Hz. Its inputs are HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2.

I know that the PS5 does not send out a 1440p signal, and if I plug directly into that HDMI, I will get 1080@60. My questions:


Is monitor-side downscaling a thing? Could I send a 4k@60 signal to my monitor and have it downscale to a 1440p@60 image? Would this be better than sending a 1080p@60 signal and having my monitor upscale it? (This is predicated on whether I can use an HDMI 2.1 -> DP 1.2 converter to go through that port.) Does the PS5 even offer this option or will it see that there's not a 4k display on the other end and just force everything to 1080 without giving me the option? I didn't get a PS4 Pro so I don't know how that handled things

Anyway I suppose the top reason I want a PS5 right now is to get better PSVR performance for Squadrons lol so this doesn't change much

Leave it up and see what happens. That's what it said for me (on release day) and then it at some point just suddenly jumped to 22 min then 9 and then I was in. :shrug:

Now that I've been sufficiently emotionally and intellectually elevated by the deep narrative of TLOU2, time to indulge in visceral enjoyment from repeated realistic execution animations

Edit: apologies, I realize this is the PS5 thread, comment withdrawn until I am back here to complain about not getting a PS5

I just got one been lurking this thread forever. I managed to get one in the direct queue using FireFox containers add on, it creates different sessions. Just FYI if anyone is still trying to get one. I've been getting burned by bots for months and finally got fed up with it and decided I was gonna cheat too.

the gently caress it passed me through but I was signed out? what the flipping gently caress poo poo

now it's not sending me verification codes and I don't have backup codes

this only loving exists to make me feel like i am going to have an aneurysm on a variable reward schedule, gently caress sony

i legitimately feel ill, like there is a balled up core of dark energy in between my ribs, why did my cell phone service seem to go out right when i needed verification codes (not like it probably would have mattered) but it reinforces how this is a sick and twisted system

Wario64 posted this 15 minutes ago, even with the requirement that you had to be a GameFly member (and them shutting off trial memberships) this was loving gone in the three minutes between putting it in my cart and double-checking my math to see how much I was being gouged

(It came with 9 months of Gamefly which I am doing anyway so whatever, it would have been $535 for the console + Miles)

They are adding stock every 10 minutes or so check again soon.

Two more whiffs, and I am being told by folks the last time they tried Wal-Mart they had their orders autocanceled out of nowhere even when they got through.

In any case why do I even have any hope I will have any luck in an unprotected storefront being attacked by thousands of bots every millisecond, I am a mote of dust in the whirlwhind.

I hate the Sony Corporation. The decision to launch a new console in this Time of Troubles was despicably short-sighted and incredibly stupid, and they should all be punished for it
