Move could presage an expected resolution bump in the rumored PS5 Pro.

    This sounds an awful lot like the PS3 OtherOS class-action lawsuit that Sony had to pay out on.

    No PS1 games they could upscale to 8k?

    Can any console even run actual 4K yet? Not just upscaled 1440p at reduced framerate?

      https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2023/04/gran-turismo-7s-120fps-options-are-game-changers-says-digital-foundry

      Plenty of games give you the option of resolution/detail or frame rate.

      … Yes. Many AAA games this generation can run at native 4K on Series X and PS5, but in most games with demanding graphics you have to choose between that with a 30-40 FPS target, or 1440p and 60-120 FPS with VRR.

    I hate Linus, but he did a great bit l On the 3000 series graphics cards hitting 8K. And how ridiculous it was

      Choose your next words carefully or risk invoking the wrath of the fediverse.

      Which Linus?

      (edit) Either I poked at a sensitive spot or people no longer appreciate sarcasm. Of course not everybody within the fediverse will have a homogenous opinion on the Linuses, Richards, or Gabriels of the world. I’m making fun of the people who will rush like zealots to the defense of some public personality whenever a negative opinion is expressed, and don’t pretend there’s not a fuckass load of such people around here.

      So here, if you still need it: /s.

    Who the fuck wants to waste that much processing power on what’s essentially indistinguishable from 2k with a nice AA or upscaler (like DLSS or FSR) for a tenth of the processing power? It’s literally pointless and was thrown on there probably by marketing so people can see bigger numbers.
