Recently upgraded to the pro and sometimes I feel like maybe it doesn’t preform I thought it would. But I also feel like games are sometimes sloppy these days lol. Is this a gpu/cpu/hardware issue or game/game engine? Thank you in advance.

u/Dry_Employ_6782 7d ago
yeah that's the weird gap everyone hits right after upgrading lol. so real talk, the pro's gpu is definitely better but it's not a night and day thing, especially if devs aren't actually using it yet. we're still early in the cycle.
what you're probably seeing is a mix of things. some games just have bad optimization tbh, that's not a pro problem that's a dev problem. but also pssr 2.0 (the upscaling thing) isnt magic. if a game targets 1440p60 native and scales it up, it can feel different than native 4k60, sometimes softer, sometimes a bit jittery depending on the engine
the cpu's the same between base and pro btw, so if ur seeing framerate drops that might be the actual bottleneck. some of the new engines are pushing ram harder than expected.
quick question. are other games also feeling sloppy? that'll tell me a lot. some studios are still figuring out how to use pro hardware properly, others nailed it day one

Due to space constraints I'm limited to a 32 inch monitor. Should I go for a 4k one or should I stick with my old 2k 144hz one? What do I need to look for in a monitor for a ps5pro?
1
u/escalinci 22d ago
If you are also using it for PC stuff, maybe stick with the current monitor.
For a 4k Monitor I would search as there is plenty of similar questions here. But the basics recs are HDMI 2.1, oled or mini/rgb led with a lot of zones. I think getting a basic backlit led or even one with a couple of dimming zones is a bit unfortunate for a ps5 pro.

my PS5 pro animated backgrounds stopped working for some reason. has anyone ever got this issue before?
troubleshooting I've tried :
- unplugged the PS5 and plugged it back in. ( obviously )
- removed and reinstalled my m.2 device again.
I feel that it might be related to something very minimal that I'm just not noticing. please let me know if anyone ever got this issue before, thanks.

Hey everyone, I'm an avid PC gamer and love the Sony exclusives, playing most of them on my old PS4. With the change to no Sony games releasing on PC I'm looking to get a PS5 pro to play ghost of yotei, wolverine, and GTA 6 on it. Is it a mistake to get a PS5 pro with the PS6 on the horizon? How long after it's release will they stop putting games on the PS5?
1
u/escalinci 22d ago
The ps6 will likely have a handheld variant, so if that's very attractive, that's one reason to wait. It could still be two years away, however. On top, Rockstar also took more than a year after the release of the ps5/Series X to update GTA V. If they are much quicker than that for GTA6, that could also mean the upgrades are more iterative than transformative.
If this generation is any guide, Sony will immediately publish some small-ish games on ps6 only (Ratchet and Clank:Rift Apart, Astro's Playroom), but publish big sellers (Ragnarok released for ps4 two years after ps5 was launched. Probably, cross-gen will last longer this time, spinning hard drives and Jaguar CPUs where much more limiting factors than lower specs all round but mainly less ML acceleration.

I have a 4k@60 TV and a 2k@180 monitor that I like to switch between to play depending of the game or day.
To avoid damaging the hdmi connection, I’ve bought a 2.1 hdmi switch to swap the image between the two devices, but the ps5 loses image every time I switch.
I’ve tried multiple 2.1 cables of different sizes and brands, and all possible orders of hooking everything up possible, but it always loses the image when I switch.
Anyone with a similar setup that has something that really works? My alternative at the moment is to manually swap the hdmi connected into the ps5

Hi all, I wanted to get some thoughts on how much I should sell my PS5 pro for. I haven’t played it in months. I have the PS5 pro with the disc drive, the internal SSD 2TB heat sink, PS5 Pro controller, 30th anniversary controller, and an external hard drive for ps4 games. Everything is in like new condition. Let me know your thoughts.. I was thinking somewhere between $1,150 and $1250.

u/GiBbZi93 21d ago
Looking for help and advice from anyone who may have had this issue. Recently my ps5 is taking ages to download anything, it begins calculating longer than it ever has, then sets off downloading as normal but will then stop/pause or calculate again and rinse and repeat that cycle over and over. My speeds are fine and it even does the same through a wired connection. Any help will be appreciated as it's driving me mad.

I noticed the same and went into settings and changed if to a specific band of wifi. I think 5.0. But if you have a router that spits out 2.4 and 5g it happens. Just set it to only receive one

Hi I sold my PS5 Slim and got a Pro but I can’t see any noticeable difference between the two, I have PSSR on in settings my TV is also a 4K 120hz with 2.1 hdmi, was wondering if I need to uninstall my games and reinstall them cuz I moved my data from old PS5 or if I need to get a new TV to actually notice the difference, if you had the same experience please share some with me, games I tried are Spiderman 2 God of war Rangnarok.

u/M_geo211 18d ago
Anyone can give some advice?

u/SadTree2419 16d ago
I've been in the same situation as you, but I just moved my data and reinstalled the games from scratch. Then I configured the settings within each game's menu, and the difference is noticeable. I tried Spider-Man 2, and 120 Hz at maximum fidelity feels amazing.
You can try reinstalling, and don't forget to configure the settings within each game.
I have a 55' with VRR y 120hz.

u/Gaz8194 16d ago edited 16d ago
I live in Glasgow. Have been wanting to upgrade from release day base ps5 to the ps5 pro for a while, but the prices hikes have completely killed my hopes.
The “cheapest” option I can find is through PlayStation direct and using the back market option to sell my current ps5.
At time of post, they are offering £319 for base ps5 console in perfect condition and 2 controllers which bring ps5 pro price down to £470.99, but even that I can’t afford.
Can anyone help or advise if there is any way I can get it cheaper without having to buy used or refurb model?

u/SonicWorld-VSync 16d ago
I'd like to know more info about Sonic Racing Crossworlds running on a PS5 Pro. In this site (https://www.ps5progames.com/games/sonic-racing-crossworlds), it says the following:
graphics: 4K at a basically locked 60fps.
performance: 4K at a basically locked 60fps. Drops to 1440p in 4-player split screen.
So, it means that both modes on PS5 Pro are virtually the same. I chose Graphics, because I initially thought putting in performance mode would put in a lower resolution. The game runs flawless almost all the time. But I noticed that on Golden Temple (at the end of it, on water) and on Pumpkin Mansion (inside the mansion, especially with the mirrors), the frames drops there. Does someone have more technical views about it?
Unfortunately, Digital Foundry doesn't have a video dedicated to this game, especially one listing the improvements of the PS5 Pro version (like they did with Pragmata and the new Resident Evil game), despite they made a video about the previous Sonic racing game (Team Sonic Racing).

Loading up Pragmata to play for the first time and it gets to the same point when loading up the game and crashes with the same CE-108255-1 error code everytime - I have changed settings, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebuilt database, reset PS5 etc. and it just cannot get past crash
I had been playing Avatar recently with no issues, and have loaded up a load of other games with no issues at all

u/LilGooner 14d ago
I've had the Pro for about 3 months but haven't been on it so much due to school etc. Was therefore wondering if yours makes any sound when playing? Mine makes like a buzzing sound of the fans, normal no?

u/MarionberryVisual463 14d ago
Mine does that too if you are talking about the same thing I am. Very faint sound.
1
u/LilGooner 14d ago
Do you have a video of it?
1
u/MarionberryVisual463 14d ago
Nope. Its not loud at all. If yours is, it might be hitting something or not aligned anymore. Not a huge deal if its working. My old gaming laptop eventually had its fans start knocking each other slightly but gamed fine. If your PS5 isnt overheating its still getting the air it needs
1
u/LilGooner 14d ago
When you play on it, does yours get a little warm on the sides?
1
u/MarionberryVisual463 14d ago edited 14d ago
Yes. Listen, you are good. You'll know if its overheating. Not only that, PS CPU has safeguards. Its whole system is pumping at close to 100 degrees C. Its gonna get warm. If the sound is not loud, your fine.
Edit: 60-75 degrees C. Was thinking of gaming laptops

I’m using a 65” TCL C7K QD Mini-LED with my PS5 Pro. I’m happy with the brightness, blacks are very good, and blooming is minimal from my normal viewing position.
I’m considering moving to a 65” OLED, mainly LG C5 or Samsung S90F.
For people here who actually game on PS5 Pro:
Did switching from a good Mini-LED to OLED make a big difference in real games, or was it more of a small refinement?
And if you were choosing purely for PS5 Pro gaming, would you keep the C7K or go OLED?

Also have a 4K TV, not OLED or anything.

Just got a steal on an almost new PS5 Pro, but is the HDMI port being wiggly an issue?
I got a steal on a PS5 Pro that’s basically brand new from a pawn shop. It mentioned it has a loose port which may be the hdi, we tested it out at the shop before I left and all seems to be working well but the port is definitely a bit wiggly. Is this a common thing with these consoles or is this an issue or it may potentially break off or something?
Should I just leave it alone or should I be worried? I’m not a pro, but I’ve done light soldering before. If it’s still connected maybe I just need to reinforce the existing or missing soldering? Or is this by design? Does anyone’s else’s port wiggle a little bit?

u/NightGojiProductions 12d ago
Im wondering of some TV recommendations that won’t absolutely break the bank but still look good? I’m thinking 500-600 USD. I know for sure that I’d like >=55” 4k120hz capability. As much as Id love for OLED (main monitor is a MSI 341CQPX), I doubt it’ll be in budget so it’s a plus but not a requirement if it’s generally regarded as a bad TV.

Just picked up my first ps5, is there a way to change the theme? Theme song? So far it seems like my ps4 is more customizable than this lol. But what are some secret settings I should know about
1
u/Dry_Employ_6782 7d ago
the ps5 is definitely less customizable on the surface, not just you. sony basically locked down a lot of that stuff for performance reasons. the ui is more fixed so it stays snappy across all consoles.
theme songs tho, cant do it. that one's just gone, sorry lol. but heres some actual settings most people miss:
— settings > system > power saving > rest mode behavior (huge one, nobody knows this exists)
— settings > saved data and game/app settings > cloud storage (toggle per game if you want local only)
— settings > users and accounts > other > console sharing & offline play (this one changes everything if u have multiple people)
— settings > system > hdmi device link (sounds boring but saves ur tv from getting hammered)the "customization" ps5 does have is more about controller stuff (button mapping, trigger sensitivity) and display tweaks, not themes. sony went hard on the "clean aesthetic" direction and tbh performance consistency won out over customization.
what kind of customization were u doing on ps4? there might be a workaround depending on what u wanted

What could cause that random flickering? I noticed it while playing stellar blade and also in cutscenes in fc26 career mode
1
u/Dry_Employ_6782 7d ago
yeah that flicker thing is real. it's almost never the actual game btw. Stellar Blade and FC26 both have dark scenes / quick camera cuts and thats exactly when VRR gets weird with a chunk of TVs (samsung, lg, sony, doesnt matter the brand tbh)
quick test: settings > screen and video > video output, turn VRR off. if the flicker's gone, thats your answer, its a handshake issue between the ps5 and ur tv, not a hardware problem.
if you want vrr back on after that, check if ur tv has a firmware update first, most of the actual fixes for this came from the tv side not sony. also worth trying a different hdmi port (the 4k/120 one) and make sure its an actual ultra high speed cable, cheap ones drop out under hdr all the time and look exactly like this
what tv you running? that'll tell me if its a known one or something else going on

Hi, just wondering if the STALKER 2 is playable after 2.0 patch and the new DLC? I've waited for this game, but on release it was terrible: empty open world, awful "alive" system and tons of bugs. Have anyone already played, would you recommend to buy it?
1
u/No-Requirement7722 9d ago
I have around $1,000 to spend on my first PS5 and I’m torn between the Pro and the regular PS5.
If I get the Pro, most of my budget will go toward the console, so I won’t have much left for a nice gaming setup, lighting, decorations, etc.
If I get the regular PS5, I could have a much nicer gaming room and setup overall.
What would you choose: PS5 Pro with a basic setup, or regular PS5 with a much nicer gaming room?
Is the Pro’s extra performance worth sacrificing the overall setup?

The video may not do me justice but the problem is much more apparent than the video shows. I got my pro in January and I haven’t noticed anything unusual besides this, and another problem but that’s another post for another day. Recently, like a few weeks ago, I am on YouTube, occasionally there will be some sort of artifacting, but it’s only whenever I’m on YouTube. Not any other streaming app or video game. I’ve already tried deleting the app and that didn’t fix it but I genuinely don’t know as I have only ever noticed this problem when I’m specifically on the YouTube app. The PlayStation UI doesn’t artifact like that when I’m not on the YouTube app it’s totally normal aside when I am on the app and watching videos. I have a Sony Bravia 8 TV as well if that helps.
Any help / suggestions very much appreciated

Samsung Odyssey G5 1440p monitor with PS5 Pro? I have this monitor which have hdmi 2.0, 1440p.

u/GrannyBritches 5d ago
Has anyone used the Samsung S84F with their pro, and how is the picture quality? I'm looking at Best Buy and they have a deal on their 65" open box S84F for $700, vs $1000 for a new 65" B6E or $900 for a 55" B6E. Trying to decide which direction to go with.
It'll be in a dark room and almost exclusively used for gaming on the PS5 Pro.
Apparently the Samsung uses a WOLED LG panel just like the B6E and C5 (I think), but does that mean it will perform the same? I know TV discussions tend to lean towards the LGs but I had to ask because I'd love to save that $300 if it's really not necessary.

Looks like the PS5 Pro is sold out here in Germany.
Mediamarkt has it to and say delivery in october. I am not so happy having to buy from them. Also its going for retail Price 899€.
Anyone know a better Place to get it and also probably cheaper?
I am only getting a console for GTA VI.
Maybe its better to wait more Till Launch in November. Or will the Situation closer to Release be worse getting a PlayStation 5 pro what you guys reckon?

Hey guys!
Ever since I changed my router to a Wi-Fi 6 router (had a WI-FI 5 previously), I’ve been having major connectivity issues with my PS5 Pro. Sometimes the download speed drops to less than 1 Mbps, even though I have a 1 Gbps internet plan.
The PS5 is on a different floor from the router, so using an Ethernet cable isn’t really an option. However, with my previous router, I would normally get around 400–500 Mbps over Wi-Fi from the exact same location.
So far, I’ve tried:
- Switching from WPA3 to WPA2
- Using Google and Cloudflare DNS
- Setting a static IP on the PS5
- Changing the Wi-Fi mode from 802.11ax to 802.11ac
Unfortunately, none of these changes have fixed the issue.
Has anyone experienced something similar with the PS5/PS5 Pro and a Wi-Fi 6 router? Any settings or fixes you’d recommend trying?
Thanks!

Have a bright room, 2.6-2.8m viewing distance.
I can find the 77 G5 for 2075 euros or 77 C6 for 2086 euros. I guess the 77 C6 has the same tandem OLED as the G5 (LG website says it’s tandem OLED 2.0 so maybe slightly better?)
The G5 is a display model and has been used for a year. Comes with the box and labeled as “brand new”. However I asked the store employee and he said it was their display model and had been up for 12 months. Would you think it’s stupid to go for a G5 in this instance? The store has the same 2 year warranty and exchange policy as a brand new model and I have a 14 day return window in case I find any issues with the panel.
I lean towards the G5 more because of slightly better performance (rtings review says it’s slightly better in HDR) and better bright room and reflection handling. I also like the flush wall mount design.
On the other hand the C6 is brand new and from 2026. Not sure how the C6 would fare in a bright room…
Slightly confused… what would you recommend? Are either of these good deals? Live in Scandinavia so TVs are expensive compared to the rest of Europe

Just bought a used PS5 Pro with extra controller, disk drive and 3 games(2ps4/1ps5)for $750. I'm really excited yet cautiously worried this might be too good of a deal to be real.
I bought from ebay from a seller with 330 feedback and 99%, also PayPal protection.
My question is if there's anything I should look out for when receiving the used PS5 pro that would indicate it being a defect.
