Sony's PS5 Pro is a fun improvement over the base machine, but fails to fix a 'fundamental flaw' with the base console's hardware.
The PlayStation 5 Pro was rightfully criticised during its reveal for its horrible marketing showing small gains on old games. While the system may actually be worth it thanks to awesome 8K games like Gran Turismo and massive ray-tracing boosts, the PS5 Pro does still have a massive technical flaw.
“Here’s the thing, right: 8K output requires, essentially, twice the bandwidth of 4K at 120Hz,” Leadbetter continued. “So, the display controller has to be upgraded, right? That’s just pure logic. We kinda thing it is, but not the way you’d expect.” While unconfirmed from Sony, tests at Digital Foundry reveal that there is a compression restriction placed on the HDMI controller, forcing 32 GBps output of the more powerful console.
