![]() More power allows developers to render more items in the game, which helps create worlds that are packed with more interesting details to enjoy. The PS4 Pro isn’t just about making things look sharper. The PS4 version has simpler, flatter textures that add little. There’s copious extra greenery, such as extra plants, grass and vines. The ‘god rays’ give the scene a new dynamism, lighting up the rocks and enhancing the contrast in the scene.Īnother benefit is the foliage. The most obvious difference is the lighting.

Here are the PS4 Pro specs compared to the original and PS4 ‘Slim’ versions: This means they won’t waste space games can use and means you can switch between apps faster. The PS4 Pro also has an extra 1GB of memory for non-gaming applications like Netflix.

Sony claims the new PS4 Pro can run at 4.2 teraflops, compared to the 1.84 teraflops of the original PS4 – teraflops is a simple measure of computer performance, a bit like horsepower in cars. Sony’s also upgraded the processor, which handles things like physics and artificial intelligence in games. The graphics processor (GPU) in the PS4 Pro – that’s the bit that generates the 3D graphics in games – is just over twice as powerful as that in the PS4. ![]() ![]() And if you just want the short version of this article, scroll to the end for the definitive verdict on the PS4 Pro vs PS4 debate. ![]()
