4K vs 1440 vs 1080 on console

[justin.lawshe]

I see a lot of videos and creators talking about 4K performance on console getting around 30 fps on PS5. Not everyone has a 4K tv though so are those people going to get better frames than someone playing on 4K? The frames are unlocked after all.

consoles have performance mode and quality mode

quality mode is usually targeted 4k at 30 fps and performance mode is usually targeted 1440p at 60 fps

people without a 4k tv simply won't be able to switch to quality mode, or maybe they can and it will be upscaled from 1440p to 4k, i'm not sure

i have a 4k tv but i still play in performance mode for the 60 fps

I don't believe PS5 can actually play at 1440p. I could be wrong though. But yes, you could play at 1080p and it will have better framerates, but sacrifice video quality to do so.

Well that's good information to know then, thank you. I haven't looked into PS5 since it first came out. Learned about it's specs then passed on it.

I have a 1440p monitor and it tells me I’m playing at the quality but is that not the case? I thought the ps5 does have 1440p support now.

I think the game might be CPU bottlenecked and that is why they increase the resolution so much. Dropping the resolution will likely not change the FPS.

Since the minimum and recommended specs both are targeting 30 FPS and the CPUs are Ryzen 5 3600/x it makes sense this game will require modern high-end CPUs.

I guess you will need at least Ryzen 7000 series or Intel 13/14th gen to have 60 FPS. It was the same situation when Starfield launched. Baldur's Gate 3 in 3rd chapter is also 30 FPS in many places on consoles and Ryzen 5 3600.

PS5 runs below 30fps, hope pc turns out better.

this game runs worse in 1080p then it does in 1440p its weird
