      No it just couldnt do 8k, they sold it saying it could 8k game, had on the box "4k 120fps" "8k", its gpu is equivalent to roughly an rtx 2080 and that hasnt got the power to run any game in 8k nor games at 4k 120fps (atleast not anymore). Like them releasing it witg unoptimised hardware that couldnt do VRR on release (and handle UW monitors well, my mate struggled bad when he got one and we lived together).

As for 8K(4320p), the console can technically display at that resolution, but they never updated it to support it since there aren't enough games that utilize it natively.

            Question is how much will it be? If it's gonna be more than $600 DOA.

                i'm glad they still keep the disc drive because what's the point of being "Pro" without more features?
                in other ways, this console could technically be used as a 4K bluray player.

But remember to keep the circuit board of the old disc drive because they are paired with the motherboard.

I hope you can find a guy to get this done.

                                    Didnt they promote the ps5 on release saying "can do 8k, can do 4k 120fps" yet cant do either and never has bar about 2 games on release (4k, probably with variable resolution). For it to do what theyre saying they'll need more than just the small incremental upgrade which about makes up for the development in gaming since the release of the ps5.

                                    Realistically it needs to go from roughly an rtx 2080 to atleast rtx 3080 levels to consistently keep atlast 4k 60fps with ray tracing and thats not thinking about 8k lol, and thats without thinking about the new cards coming out. 3.5ghz on essentially a zen 2 cpu on the ps5 aswell (its basically a ryzen 7 2700) which again would need to up it to atleast a 4 series ryzen equivalent to do what they want and i cant see it happening (they messed up with the original hardware by not letting the hardware be properly developed which xbox didnt do/have).

                                      Higher FPS is always good progress, but I bet developers use the Pro to get nicer visuals. Blah.

                                        I assume horror games will look realistic on PS5 pro with the ray tracing. An example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=itCPuf-n1EM
