Smurf 947 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) At GDC they were hinting of a PS4.5 in the near future, most likely to enhance VR and bring 4K video. Edited April 23, 2016 by Smurf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidCore89 7,402 Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 Yeah, PS4.5 offering 4K video and a better GPU. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PapOiteE 465 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 A better gpu means better perfomance right? Do you think there will be a big difference between the current and that new ps4.5? In terms of graphics or frame rate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think there will be a big difference between the current and that new ps4.5? In terms of graphics or frame rate? Right now on the PS4 we are getting just under 2K resolution so by speculation the PS4.5 will give over double that amount, and as far as frame per seconds go, I know 4K is 2160P and can presently go up to 1000 fps if the hardware can in the console can push it, which in my opinion would be unplayable if they were to bumped it up to 1000 fps like on some still camera's out there. Also you would have to get a 4K TV/ Monitor to reap the visual rewards as on average a regular TV or Monitor would roughly push around 60hz and 1080p, plus factor in any HDCP compatibility problems between console and monitor and input lag of the monitor if you did not care to make sure the one you purchase has low input lag . Them 4k monitors will put a hurting on the pocket, and chances are they will raise the price of the compatible games. I am figuring they might go for the new AMD 16 core Zen APU or Polaris, and use High Bandwidth Memory .

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 (edited) Are you guys gonna get the PS4.5 if it becomes available? Would players using both consoles be able to play together? I don't have any 4K TV's or monitors, even if I did buy a 4K screen it would be for general lounge use instead of music and gaming. Only recently got a triple screen setup of 0.1 ms input lag monitors, no way I could afford to replace them with 4K now, so PS4.5 is currently doubtful for me.

grjkie 727 Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 I want a 4k TV anyways so I will most likely get a new ps4 if they upgrade it.

Arruda 718 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Fortunately I did buy a 4k TV together with my PS4. Got a good deal on that one. Never saw it working on that resolution though, I don't think my cable company provides one single channel on 4k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf 947 Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 I will not be on the upgrade train, highly doubt anything mind bowing feature will exist on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 (edited) Here are the specs of the 4.5 Neo, not officially released by Sony yet, so take it with a pinch of salt: Original PS4 CPU - 8 Jaguar Cores at 1.6 GHz NEO CPU - 8 Jaguar Cores at 2.1 GHz Original PS4 GPU - AMD GCN, 18 CUs at 800 MHz NEO GPU - Improved AMD GCN, 36 CUs at 911 MHz Original PS4 Memory - 8 GB GDDR5, 176 GB/s NEO Memory - 8 GB GDDR5, 218 GB/s Older games will run in a special NEO mode that will offer higher visual fidelity and a more stable frame rate.

Smurf 947 Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 I hope that when the official specs comes out, it will have some type of mirror casting, better audio codec, Flac support, chat clarity, save music to hard drive, NFC capable, way faster download throttling and bluetooth 4.2, I highly doubt the bluetooth profile they choose would make it easy for third party headsets to connect and work.

JustHatched 12,103 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 I'm likely to get a 4.5 at some point after release. All our kids are still on PS3's and asking all the time about PS4's, rather than buy 3 more PS4's Rose and I when cash allows can get us the 4.5's and give our 4's to the kids.

DavidCore89 7,402 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 Well, I can't ignore the specs, but I'll wait for official news. I think I'll go for the upgrade and trade in one of my 1TB consoles, that way I'll still have both black PS4 models and the 4.5. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching PC Perspective Podcast (tech experts), and basically what they were hypothetically saying based off just these unofficial specs, is that it would not be able to run 4K unless Sony was just going to at best upscale to 4K, as It would have difficulty handling the necessary shader. Hopefully when E3 rolls around, by then all notions will be dispelled. Edited April 21, 2016 by Smurf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LimeGreenLegend 4,176 Posted April 21, 2016 Share Posted April 21, 2016 I'll get one. Don't care about 4K but the performance upgrades, slower loading etc will be great. I want even better looking PSVR games basically 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grjkie 727 Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 I got one and I'll give you guys a day one fresh personal review, so I recently got a 55 suhd with HDR(luckily, didn't even know about it), when I brought the pro home earlier today after the process of data transfer I really wanted to try the VR, apparently it would be upgaded a lot with the pro's power. It sure did, the image is a lot clearer, small text can easily be read without having to approach it like on the ps4. Really the improvement surprised me in a very good way. So with VR out of the way and positively surprised with the results I wanted to give 4k gaming a go. I struggled a bit with the settings but it was mostly my fault, I believe there is still a compatibility issue or something of the sorts between the pro and some HDR TVs but that's just me and if so it can be updated with patches. So, as you guys know I stream most of my gameplay, I bought a capture card so I could stream in full HD and that was the main issue preventing the ps from displaying in 4k. The card captured in HD and sent it in HD to the TV, so idiot grjkie was at fault. Acknowledged my mistake, disconnected the fuckin ps from the PC and BOOM, 4k. So, now I have all set up I have to try an improved version of any 4k supported game and I fired up Deus EX: Mankind Divided. The image looks great, but I can't give any more thoughts for now, I haven't played the game that much on the older ps so I really can't say that much. We noticed clearer images on older games that we were used to though like Gautlet, Rocket League and GTA. As time goes by and more content comes out with this type of quality in its design that's when real comparisons between the systems can be accurate IMO, just thought I'd give you guys my personal first day opinion on the new console. It looks great, the whole setup gets cleaner with an extra use port if you have the VR set, it really upscales the VR set capabilities and the image looks beautiful on the 4k display. Downside, my console still says "HDR not supported on your TV" when I try to change its resolution. At least 4k is there and I have a 4k console now, all I need are games... I've tried a whole bunch of different combinations between both devices but none worked. I honestly don't understand these new TV techs yet so I have no idea if HDR kicks in alone, but I can manually turn on one "HDR+" on my tv settings. To do that I had to leave my TV game mode, and we all know what that means right? After doing it and trying any game this shit lagged as fuck, something we gamers don't need, so, one final argument regarding HDR, if it isn't treatable with firmware or software updates keep it for movies and such, there it will make a big difference. For my personal gaming experiences, fuck HDR as it is now and again thank you for reading this crap 3 Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...

Has to get even better from now on right? Quote www.ishare4free.com Please don't be offended, it's a small piece of my mind that I chose to expose...
