PlayStation 5 gets variable refresh rate support this week

dsadsadsadasdaw.png

If you've been disappointed by the lack of variable refresh rate support on the PlayStation 5, then it's time to rejoice, as Sony is rolling out VRR on the PS5 later this week. Designed to improve performance, frame pacing, and prevent screen tearing, variable refresh rate support allows the PlayStation 5 to match the refresh rate of your TV or monitor, providing you use an HDMI 2.1 cable, and screen that supports such a connection. A handful of PS5 games will also be getting patches to make use of the new feature, including Spider Man-Remastered and Miles Morales, Resident Evil Village, Deathloop, Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition, and more, with further titles to get updates in the future.

Now the PS5 is officially the best console for playing Elden Ring.

Context: Elden Ring can't cap 60fps on consoles, PS5 version runs at 50~60fps while Series X version runs at 40~55fps, before the only way to have a locked 60fps experience was to play the PS4 Pro version on PS5 but this version has a lower draw-distance, lower foliage density and lower resolution, but now with VRR it will be possible to have a fluid experience with the native version for PS5.
I got Elden Ring on PS5 and put it aside to play later with VRR due to this. I could have got the Series X version but I wanted that higher frame rate and adaptive triggers.

I’m shocked that people here have so little knowledge about vrr, vsync, frame pacing and fps caps. Also, the 17 million or so ps5 owners and people with vrr tvs are the folks who buy most of the games. I’m not talking about stuff like call of duty, sports games and gta that casual owners buy… but the other 90% of games.

It is more like customers don’t care to know how their stuff works, just that it does.

Sure, but this is a forum for people who tinker with their hardware… also, console gaming has not felt smooth on a typical lcd display ever until recently. Crt days were fine, but ya…

Thats nice, but mine will never get updated to enjoy that lol. A possible exploit is far better
the support for VRR was there all this time, it was just enabled server side, an exploit would probably be able to enable it anyway lmao

    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    Nothing special about it other than it's more comfortable than the Lite

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    but that's a long shot

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    anyways, we need to re-normalize physical media

    if i didn't want my games to be permanent, then i'd rent them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.
  • AncientBoi @ AncientBoi:
    I don't pirate them, I Use Them :mellow:. Like I do @BigOnYa 's couch :tpi::evil::rofl2:

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
  • rqkaiju2 @ rqkaiju2:
    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
