PS5 Pro will offer a 45% improvement in rendering performance over the PS5 console. PS5 currently holds an AMD Radeon RX 6700, but PS5 Pro will have something close to Radeon RX 7800 XT inside it. According to Tom Henderson at Insider Gaming, PS5 Pro may offer 3x Ray Tracing performance, and in some cases, it could go up to x4 also. PS5 Pro would also have a system memory running at 576 GB/s, which is actually a 28% boost over the standard PS5, and along with that it will have better performing audio hardware which is capable of processing better effects while gaming. The CPU would be the same as the standard PS5, but it will have ‘High Frequency option’, that will boost the clock up to 3.85 GHz. So, this represents a 10% performance boost over PS5, and would definitely help in running technically challenging games like GTA 6 with full effects. Though there is a slight catch here, as Henderson mentions that activating the High frequency option for the CPU in PS5 Pro, would actually slow down the GPU by 1.5%. Sony will offer developers the option of choosing between the standard CPU of 3.5GHz or a high frequency CPU of 3.85GHz. Games will be allotted an extra 1.2GB of memory on PS5 Pro, and that makes it 13.7GB as compared to 12.5GB allocated to the games on the standard PS5 console. PS5 Pro is coming with a more powerful GPU and a slightly faster CPU, with the high frequency option. PS5 Pro would be capable of hitting higher frame rates and Higher resolutions in certain titles like GTA 6.
So, overall PS5 Pro will offers a significant improvement over PS5 and this will help the players to run technically challenging games like GTA 6 at higher frame rates and resolution. The PS5 Pro launch is expected to happen anytime in the coming week, and this launch will unfold the complete story about its specs, design and features.
