The computer they're using in this comparison almost certainly costs 4x the amount of a Pro.
PC Master Race must be coddled at all times justifying their purchases. We can't have a console that comes close to their precious high end PC's.
How about we do a digital foundry with a PS4Pro versus a 400 dollar PC...that would be fun wouldn't it?

Will wait for the PS4 Expert port.
Most people have a pc anyway and I bought my GTX 1070 for $350 and can get 4k @ 40 fps.
An i5 2500k with a GTX 1070 can probably get 4k locked at 30 fps.

A 1080 is also twice as powerful...
Damn tell us how you really feel.

PS4P is only $400; give it a rest guys.
That being said, investing in a 4K TV doesn't make sense now if one wants to do that for playing 4K games using PS4P.

Are you going to connect the 1080 directly to the power socket and the screen?
lol true. Although if you already spent your money on all the other required parts then it's not that much to upgrade your graphics card. There's just something about the QoL features on PS4 that make it more appealing than my gaming PC. The ease of jumping back and forth between gaming and media apps, simplicity of hitting a button on the controller to take screenshots and record, the ease of setting up parties and messaging just have me buying more stuff on consoles even though the games cost more and don't look as good as what my 970 can do.

Conclusion: A 'PS4 Ultimate' is needed. I mean, for the real pros.
Probably better. On the pro you're rendering at 1440p but then your textures get all muddied up. That card has more bandwidth and vram than the pro.
It would be wonderful if all details in games came purely from geometry, but texture quality still matters. So the pro has the budget to render at a higher resolution, but not one for increasing the corresponding details.

Seriously? No way. Phones, laptops, tablets, sure. Desktop PCs? Absolutely not.
Would likewise like to know!
Absolutely. In fact it would probably run better on that.

console v pc differences: meh no big deal.
Console v console differences: minimum of 8 pages of back and forth fuckery

It's a comparison thread on a DF video. If people comparing the 2 offends your sensibilities why are you in here?

1080p Pro mode is gonna be sexy. I wanna see more devs do this with the power of the pro. Gimme 1080p with all of the damn effects and as steady framerate.
This ALWAYS happens when the PS4 looks weaker in a DF thread. You don't hear anything coming from them when it's an Xbox One vs PS4 thread.
But as soon as the PC comes it's "why even compare them that's dumb!"
And then they say PC players are the insecure ones.
Looks really impressive. I still can't believe that the price is only £349.00, it could well have had an extra £100 on top of that due to the upgrade in hardware. I'm so happy with the price and what they've of the performance so far.
I'm really looking forward to Digital Foundry doing full on comparisons down the line where they actually have the hardware and games in their studio so they can do in-depth comparisons between the available modes and options. As much as I love super sampling, I may well be choosing the 1080p options with improved graphics. I'd need to try them all first though, before making a choice.
It's so good to be seeing these options being introduced , there have been a few games that give you control over graphical and performance options this generation but I redo really want it to become something that's standard in games.

I've said as much in this thread, keep up.
I'm just saying that for most people this is a great value proposition if they don't want the very best.
I say this as someone who is wishing GPU prices haven't gone so high in recent years as I'd love to upgrade my 290x and do some 4K gaming.
show me a 400 dollar pc that can play games at ps4 settings
it has to include EVERYTHING required to play. including a controller
no mobo/ram/gpu/cpu combo without a psu or case etc like people tend to do

Power doesn't matter now that the PS is the weak one, that's just how it works on the internet apparently.
I'm talking about an entire rig genius. Last time I checked you needed something to utilize a GPU.
PS4 needs a TV

Seems like it's using Xbox One quality textures, among other settings below Very High on PC.
well, while its bad compared to a pc . its really impressive for a 400$ console.
with that being said. this looks like PS3 vs PS4 -_-
just to show much PC game is way more advanced than a pc its not even really funny or fair to compare. one costs an arm, the other is 400$
Hugs his 1080 gtx and still buying the pro for the exclusives. not for tomb raider

Am I suppose to be impressed with the PC textures in that comparison? Both look awful there.

Um.. no you haven't? You made it sound like the PS4 pro and 1080 were comparable. If you wanna compare the PS4 pro to a PC GPU you should compare it to the RX 480

I was agreeing with you by highlighting how expensive high end PC hardware is...

If you want everything required to play, a TV needs to be included in your PS4 purchase.

Looking quite good when considered it is running on a resolution somehwere between 1080p and 4k.
I'm eager to see the "1080p/30 Graphics+" setting.
He was talking about base hardware incl. controller and software. Just all you need to actually play a game.

And so does a screen for a pc, or hook up the pc to the tv, so that can be left out.

this is a fucking stupid comparison, and you know it
not even going to bother explaining to you why

How will you directly compare two platforms with such feature disparity? The price point you selected doesn't even allow you to play multiplayer on the PS4.

I heard the PS4 Master Edition will have the highest of textures

I highly doubt this DF comparison is using an RX 480.

No it isn't. You said EVERYTHING. So everything is not everything? The comparison isn't stupid, the way you worded your argument is.

What's it look like in the 1080/30 mode, that's what I want to know.
because that is a pointles comparison to make?
i was replying to someone that said :"you could buy a 400 dolalr gpu and it would be better than a ps4 pro"
if i wanna play games on my tv, how is a 400 dollar gpu going to get me anywhere? i dont have a pc to put it in
i just wanna play games that look pretty good on my new 4k tv
Well a PC can do much much more than what a PS4 can do so there is value there and free online and better game sales.
Upfront cost of a pc will be more but it will be cheaper owning a pc than a PS4 Pro over a few years. Then you factor in when the PS5 comes around, PC can just upgrade the GPU a lot of the time. People are still rocking a i5 2500k.
PC is a bigger investment ofcourse.
