PS5 is designed to support anywhere between 1080P @ 30Hz all the way to 4k @ 120Hz refresh rate. Of course, there is a direct relationship between refresh rate and FPS. In other words, PS5 can support up to 120FPS on its games on 4K resolution IF you have a TV or a monitor with a 120Hz refresh rate supported. Just as an FYI, it is one thing to have a rated refresh rate of 120Hz, but it is completely different to actually support it on your game of choice. Whether 120Hz (120FPS) will actually be supported depends upon not…

PS5, along with its rival sibling the Xbox Series X/S, shapes the current gaming gen with its stunning graphics, faster loads time, and an array of gaming titles. But at the center of all the performance prowess is a nifty little term called Teraflops. This elusive term may sound complex on the surface, but it is simply a very critical aspect of determining and measuring the graphical performance of a system. In short, PS5 offers 10.28 Teraflops along with its 8-core CPU operating at 3.5 GHz per core. But looking at this number in isolation would mean little. In the…
Things were simpler with the older generation when did not have to worry about the version of the port and of the cable. With PS5, however, the version of both the HDMI port and of the cable matters a ton. PlayStation 5 uses the HDMI port as its primary output interface and the version that it belongs to is 2.1. While all the HDMI ports and cables may look the same, they are not. This is where you have to seriously consider the version of the HDMI interface and HDMI cable – a seemingly simple yet critical component of your…
One of the hallmark features that sets PS5 apart from the previous generation of consoles is that it promises to deliver NATIVE 4K resolution as supposed to upscaled 4K, making every pixel pop and creating an immersive experience like no other. But that begs the question, is PS5 4K native or upscaled truly and what is native or upscaled 4K in the first place? The simple answer to the question is that PS5 has the capability to offer native 4K but whether a game offers native 4K in the first place depends upon how taxing the game and its graphics…
One of the integral components that improves the overall performance and quality of life on PS5 is the Solid State Drive (SSD). SSDs, compared to the HDDs found on the previous gen consoles, significantly improve the transfer speed making the game loading almost instantaneous. Unfortunately, though, PS5 only has 825 GBs of SSD. So for those who crave a large menu or a huge repository of installed games on their PS5, they would obviously want to expand the storage capacity of their PS5. For this, you may want to know “How many SSD slots does PS5 Have”? Well, the succinct…
The question Does PS5 support ultrawide monitors or not is a two-part question. The first part deals with whether the PS5 will work on an Ultrawide monitor at ALL. The answer to this is a yes, PS5 WILL output and interface with an ultrawide monitor. The second part of the question is whether PS5 will work at the rated ultrawide aspect ratio NATIVELY. The answer to THAT question, however, is a NO. PS5 will NOT output at ultrawide 21:9 or super ultrawide 32:9 aspect ratio natively This is because PS5 ONLY renders the output at a 16:9 aspect ratio. Unlike…
