I would imagine the TV manufacturers will make a big deal of it if a TV features VRR.
only important ones are HDR10 which is for games and Dolby Vision for movies - everything else is fluff
Official PS5 website launches but it's very barebones at the moment.

Sony have said nothing about the PS5 except it exists and they have released a logo. Yet right now the hype for this product is beyond compare. I'd say that is Sony marketing doing a fantastic job.

It is odd as MS have unveiled the Series X yet people aren't really fussed whereas Sony holding back details and being shady about it has really got the hype train going and people are hanging on every little thing they can find. Agree Sony are doing a fantastic job marketing wise.

Everyone is speculating that its the other way around and PS5 is more powerful that Series X but I can't see MS giving up room on that after initial Xbox One. I suspect that both consoles are going to be much of a muchness and perform more or less the same.
Shawrey
Maybe you'll be right but there are all sorts of murmurings about a 3 TFlop gap to no real difference. Xbox has always been the most powerful though except for the disastrous Xbone.
Isn't the one x quite a bit more powerful than the PS4 pro but in real actual gameplay terms they are near identical. When you have to start freeze-framing, zooming and counting pixels you have 2 devices that are for all intents and purposes identical.

The hardware between the X series and PS5 is almost identical, Zen 2 and Navi combo, and both using an SSD.
I just can’t see there being any real noticeable difference at all.

Yes XB1X is quite a bit ahead of PS4 Pro in the hardware specs mainly due to the differing release dates of Oct 2017 for XB1x and November 2016 for PS4 Pro.
In terms of performance:
6Tflops & 12GB GDDR (XB1X) vs 4.2Tglops and 8GB GDDR (PS4 Pro) so visuals on XB1X are generally better on the multiplatform games as it is able to sustain higher resolutions when scaling dynamically or hold resolution 4k at 30fps which PS4 Pro simply cannot.
This time around I am sure AMD would want almost identical hardware with each companies own 'spin' on things to ensure its own costs are kept down and to ensure they don't damage their recent success and reputation in the market.
Shawrey
My point was that regardless of spec, I would wager that in 95% of games, if you put an XB1X next to a PS4 Pro people couldn't tell the difference in visuals. When you have to use measuring equipment to differentiate between graphics they are identical in real world terms.

lol, didn't stop people claiming that the PS4 was noticeably better than the X1, when in actuality there was an even smaller performance differential between them.

Agreed. There is more of a performance difference gap with XB1X and PS4 Pro than there was with the vanilla consoles.
Interestingly, this shows that at the top end raw performance in numbers means less for people's perception of the visuals but at the lower end it definitely was a factor in their visual perception as some games did definitely look better on vanilla PS4 over Xbox One.

There really isn't pro and X are a gnats **** in difference visually.
Hardware wise yes.
Hardware wise yes.
Its games that make a console, I know there is some people who will buy purely on hype of hardware spec. But without games its a just a heap of metal.
The xbox one X, hardware wise beats the ps4 pro, yet I dont own an xbox one but do a ps4 pro, and that purely because of the games released on it.
I am only now just considering getting an xbox one X, but ironically that is only so I can play xbox 360 BC games on it that have been enhanced on BC. There is not a single game in the entirety of the xbox one X which is shockingly bad, I think even Microsoft have realised their lack of variety of games this gen and have gone to japan to get some gaming studios on side for the next gen like they did in the 360 era.
