… Some games are dramatically transformed for the better on PS5 via RPCS3 emulation. However, those that tap into the power of the Cell and its SPU satellite processors struggle. Getting PS3 emulation working on PS5 is relatively easy - if you have an exploitable console. …
… For its part, Microsoft has detailed how Windows 11 is changing to deliver Spark's "industry-leading performance per watt" via Nvidia's heterogeneous architecture, while still allowing standard 32-bit and 64-bit x86 apps to run via Prism emulation. …
… These two images show the stages and there are some other performance shots following that. In the first image, we start with a relatively modest target: full RT Overdrive at 1080p output resolution 470p internal! using XeSS performance mode, where we achieve a 22.6fps average. …
… Either way, we'd be fascinated to see a performance equalised comparison: higher resolution tiny DLSS vs lower resolution CNN model. …
… Next up, Crimson Desert where I wanted to test the now infamous Bug Hill for CPU-limited performance. I used the PS5's performance mode, which runs at native 1080p and where we have developer-supplied settings equivalents . …
… However, Sumo Digital isn't able to share how much the upscaling, denoising and frame generation portions cost, as they're still working on emulation ahead of final hardware availability. …
… We were also told about an order of magnitude improvement in ray tracing performance, with hints that the target isn't just RT but path tracing too. …
