Is ps5 the first 8k gaming console?

I actually didnt look it up because tl:dr, does the one X do 8k gaming like ps5 does? It’s right on the box. I am picking up an 8k tv after christmas, most likely an oled by LG. Can’t wait to see what 120 fps looks like on it in 8k.

Only the PS5 can do 8K. It says it right on the box with the massive 8K in gold and 4k being only half the size. So, this must mean the PS5 is primarily an 8K machine. 😎

There's no such thing as a console that renders games at 8k. What the next gen consoles do is support 8K tvs. Much like how the Xbox One S supports 4K TVs but doesn't render any games at 4K.

@Zero_epyon: https://www.psu.com/news/can-ps5-really-do-8k-games/

The short answer is yes! Yes, the PS5 can do 8K games, however that will very rarely be something that games developers will strive for when making PS5 games.

Sony fannies owning each other.

If you own a PS5 you should get an 8k/120fps to take full advantage. Sony is the only one that guarantees true 8k experience.

@ghost_of_phobos: agreed. I should probqbly get a sony oled so its premium on both ends.

You're going to spend $5,000 on a tv to play PS5 games on?

I feel insulted by such mediocre trolling efforts when I at least put some thought in mine.

Compared to other hobbies, I wonder whether gaming is one of the most-expensive hobbies.

@sheevpalpamemes: When has the PS5 done 8k gaming?

I'm waiting for 9K

8k shouldn't be on the box. I doubt PS6 will be able to do proper 8k. We're only now getting to the point that 4k can be done. Sony jumped the shark on that claim.

@sheevpalpamemes: neither will be able to produce 8k gaming maybe some indie games like Tetris

Ffs. It's bad enough 4K is largely a gimmick, now people are getting excited about 8K? Ignorance must truly be bliss.

Lots of Lems here hating on the PS5 just because the series X isn't an 8K machine

They are jelly, to rub salt into the wound, their UI is only 1080P.

@EZs: is it really??!!

Obviously. Most folks underestimated the rendering capabilities of the PS5 SSD. That extra SSD processing allows it to quadruple the resolution. Series X 2.5Gb/s SSD is 😂

But does it have a place to put my chicken in and keep it warm?

@eoten: Imagine thinking 4K is a gimmick lol.

@EZs: Oh no a 1080p UI whatever will we do! Oh I know play games and not stare at a Home Screen! Waits for a cow to say what games

Nope! It's missing the true next gen freature.

@Pedro: Well then that’s a big old fail in my eyes. To hell with Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony. I can’t stand them any more so I’m dropping them ASAP. I’m a big KFConsole guy now. That’s the only system that I need in my life.

Cluck, cluck mother****er! 🐔

Well its an alt cow account, you should never expect any better lol.

😂🤣

Hmmm...is this even a serious question? Right now 8k output (just like the Series X) isn't currently available on the PS5. At least from what I have read. It will be unlocked per Sony in a future update. MSFT has taken the same stance...yes the X is capable of 8k output as well. However when it is enabled on the consoles...I feel its primary use is going to be geared towards 8k output for streaming media or movie discs.

Gaming in 8k.....not for the games most will want to play. There may be a few low graphically intense indie games that will be made. Perhaps like last gen, were we saw some older games from PS2/360 uprezed to 4k. Maybe they will do the same for the PS5/X. So don't go think you'll have the option to play all the new games in 8k....thats foolish.

If AMD's top discrete card can't do it for mainstream games....you honestly think their APU can?

Ohhh, this is going to be juicy😅

@sheevpalpamemes: Definitely spend the money on an 8K 120 hz TV. Totally worth it.

4k is sooooo last gen. You don't wanna be left behind right?

/s

@Mozelleple112: When offered instead of higher polygon counts, improved texture resolution etc, 4k is indeed a gimmick.

Can you see the difference? Sure. But think how much better stuff would look if they used 4x the polygon count but stayed at 1080p with a decent AA solution.

Better put in an order for a brain with that new TV purchase.

The power of the SSD easily makes games run at 8K 60 FPS on the PS5. Something has to render all those triangles.

Pedro totally put OP up to this.

8K is old hat... We're getting 32K soon.

Sticking together 4 8K TVs is tacky. 😂

Yes the PS5 will run Cyberpunk 2077 8k 120FPS, no compromise.

Don't tell me what I can and cannot do!

Nah it's not, it's middle expensive (if that makes sense) it's not a cheap hobby but compared to musician's or cars it's pretty cheap.

@lundy86_4: My bad. I didn't know you fancy lines in your viewing experience.😛

You should see how much home theater enthusiasts spend. Some guy on Blu-ray.com told me that the reason I can't tell the difference between compressed and uncompressed audio like DTS and DTS-HD MA is because I probably don't have good enough speakers. I looked up the speakers in his sig and saw that the set costs 11,000 dollars.

@lundy86_4: Just envision it as having REALLY big crosshairs lol.

@appariti0n: FPS gaming only.😎

Yeah I have mate whose dad spends that much on speakers but after hearing them, I honestly doubt that they are better than a $5k set.

Golf is definitely up there. I imagine aviation is also rather pricey, but just a guess. :p

I feel that hobbies typically are expensive no matter what they are. Of course some much more so than others but even something like gaming can be taken to the extreme!

Besides my lifetime gaming hobbie...the one that really punches my wallet in the nut sack is my car hobby. Ouch!!

You should really spend all of your disposable income on Sony products only.

@clone01: i set aside 20k for a tv setup and sound. I think that should be good enough for a premium ps5 experience. Been using a 64 inch 4k oled and i feel like a poor person using it.

cool. I don't care.

@clone01: then why respond?
