DF Weekly: If Xbox Layout X is more difficult, why do smaller PS5 games run better?

On paper, the Xbox layout is a puzzle that has perplexed many over the years and then having discussed it with more than one asset, including perhaps the industry’s best profile triple-A builders, we have the definitive There are obviously a few solutions – and it’s all specified by a future edition of DF Direct Weekly.

Regarding the technical specifications, Xbox Layout its GPU hits 12 teraflops, augmented through a good amount of memory bandwidth: a maximum of 560GB/s. PlayStation 5? 10.23TF GPU compute available, operating at up to 448GB/s bandwidth. This is going to be a sharp division. If we look at that specific comparison in PC length, you would expect the former to easily outperform the Extreme.

Except that nothing has come of this past. Overall, this is the closest we’ve ever seen to a console console and within most multi-platform releases, the variations are minimal. One gadget will likely perform better than another, or vice versa. Where there are differences over time, this boils down to differences in dynamic solution scaling – which often seem to be hidden in A to B comparisons. This Xbox One

So, then a few years of negotiations with builders, what is the justification? How can a less capable gadget outperform a more difficult gadget? As was recently noted in our Elden Ring: Aerdtree security silhouette, the PS5’s preferred frame-rate remains unpredictable, considering it appears to be a less capable gadget.

We’ve heard some interesting theories over the years – like the Xbox layout However, the No. 1 explanation we’ve heard from builders considers the nature of Sony’s manufacturing situation. Some leading triple-A developers tell us that the PlayStation GPU compiler is significantly more efficient than the Microsoft compiler, which means better utilization of the graphics hardware. Generally, we remember that PlayStation manufacturing facilitates fewer points of API access which allows game makers to get more profit from the hardware.

The second most common rationalization we’ve heard from builders considers the nature of the GPU itself. Mark Cerny himself discussed this in March 2020 when he clearly revealed the technical specifications of the PlayStation 5. The Time Console will have fewer computing devices than the Xbox layout The level of this ability was always unknown because the PS5 works with a boosted clock on both the CPU and GPU – most clock speeds will be limited through an impact limit on the processor.

Alternatively, we have not yet heard any lawsuits from developers regarding clock speeds having an undue impact on GPU performance. And when it comes to raw numbers, there’s an interesting tidbit from a recently leaked PlayStation 5 Pro developer document: looking at the CPU Boost Up option, which boosts the clock speed by up to ten PCs, only one PC Sees GPU performance shed through – effectively minor upcoming.
So, according to our conversation, the mix of an extra eco-friendly GPU compiler, lower-level API, and better clock speeds would allow the PlayStation 5 to take on the Xbox layout in some situations. As mentioned, that’s exactly the way Microsoft has stepped up. There may be value in that: through standardization on the DirectX 12 and DXR ray tracing APIs, there’s an analogy with PC manufacturing that’s clearly helping game makers. And naturally, Xbox still has extra compute throughput – so game engines that tap into that could see benefits. Additionally, there are situations where the Xbox ecosystem and components pay ready turnover dividends. For example, while Life Elden Ring may run faster on PlayStation 5, Sony’s limited implementation of variable refresh rate relief means we can play the game on Xbox Layout X instead – it’s just a smoother and more consistent enjoyment. .

At this stage, after hearing similar formulated problems from a field of completely unrelated builders the case has been successfully closed in this particular case – and we see the play out of a related situation around the remains of the past. Let’s think about. PlayStation 5 Professional? It’s attention-grabbing. We’re expecting it to incorporate the same forces that made the PS5 aggressive and journey past – the PSSR gadget learning-based upscaling should work as an efficient ‘multiplier’ of varieties on its high GPU efficiency .

This conversation is just a short part of DF Direct Weekly #169, where we get first impressions on Uncharted Dragon’s Dogma 2 area and AMD’s FSR 3.1 spatial upscaling modification (expect more in-depth coverage on each soon), as well Reaction to Uncharted Lifeless Remake Emerging. I’m hoping you’ll enjoy the display – and needless to say, supporters of the DF Supporter Program can not only get early access to each episode, but can also contribute to the display. Have a great future!
