By Jazzy Jambalaya Go To PostGenerally, yeah, I do. When picking furniture to put the consoles and such under the TV, I specifically got something that would have as much airflow as possible so that the fans in all the various electronics wouldn't need to spin up as often or as fast.
Similarly, when picking out parts for my PC, I generally research for and purchase the case, fans, PSU, pump, etc. that have a very low noise floor while still providing adequate cooling. I still need to invest in a handful of acoustic panels to stop the slight echoes in the room.
I really, really, really enjoy waking up in the mornings and either working or partaking in my hobbies with the only other sounds coming from (preferably) nature outside the house. I have to make allowances for A/C and such.
Hell, in my previous house, my computer desk was within 10 feet of the fridge and I was always bothered by how loud the compressor got, so I bought a new fridge that was known for being quiet. My inner peace was boosted tremendously.
Can only hear mine if I get my face next to it.
By reilo Go To PostNever ever heard any coil whine on mine.
If the size of the console contributes to the lack of noise and heat the PS5 generates, I'd be quite happy for the PS6 to be similarly gargantuan. PS4 was fucking ridiculous, had to wear headphones if there was no background noise to drown it out, and you could fry an egg on it.
By reilo Go To PostNever ever heard any coil whine on mineIt's really bad on mine. In most games you can hear the frequency change as you move the camera around in real time and it becomes less/more intensive depending on what you're looking at. Was like that on my broken launch PS5 too. Doesn't really happen on smaller games, but any big 3D game...yeah you can hear it clearly
By Perfect Blue Go To PostY'all really playing games so silently you can hear stuff like that?It's not really about TV volume, it's such a high frequency that it cuts through a decent amount of TV volume very clearly.
I thought it was my disc drive in my ps5 doing weird stuff, but all the don't boys in the WhatsApp said it was coil whine.
Inshallah I got that shit sold

Just watched a video demonstarting what coil whine actually is and sounds like
Yeah fuck that. It's worse than phone interference noise.

I keep mine behind my TV because the 4 made mad noise when it heated up and it got super hot in the cabinet
Pretty much 100%'d Wukong.
Fantastic game. Not quite up there with the very best of soulsborne, right below tho ... and considerably better than the likes of DS2, to name one.

I’ve died more times on the mini challenge levels than the regular levels on Astro Bot lol
On the final (I assume) world now, still an awesome game

mine has a bit of coil whine, but I play far from the TV with headphones, so it never bothered me.
Definitely audible when im up close though.

They won't, because life is never-ending suffering.
Apparently Qzil.la is making a Sekiro anime
Are they any good ?
The director is probably Kenichi Kutsuna

I wouldn't be happy about it, but I'd pay £700 for a console if I thought it was worth it.
Current fidelity + current performance modes is not worth it

Yeah I think that's the thing for me. Just no way what this thing is doing is worth that price point, and I'm a graphics whore.
By Xpike Go To PostGuess I'll get a nice GPU insteadOne of us! One of us!
It's outrageously priced, but I guess my disgust in that wouldn't lead me to buying an also outrageously priced nice GPU
By JesalR Go To PostIt's outrageously priced, but I guess my disgust in that wouldn't lead me to buying an also outrageously priced nice GPU"I'll buy a GPU instead!" is definitely a take lol
By Laboured Go To PostJust get a 4090, Jesal.Similar to my feelings on the PS5 Pro, it just aint worth it.
Realistically, what can a 4090 actually get me that my 3080ti cant? Balatro and Tactical Breach Wizards both run infinitely fast, Jedi Survivor and pretty much all Unreal games still stutter no matter your hardware
Fuck it all
If this is what happens when you have no competition at the high end of your product stack ... I fear for 5080 / 5090 prices, now that AMD have basically given up.
Also, you'd think Sony would put much more emphasis on the ssd upgrade you get with the Pro. Barely mentioned.

By inky Go To PostHorse really gonna spend £2000 on a 5090 just to rub it in"I can't believe this new iPhone is $699. I'm gonna build my own for $10,000!" - Zabo, prob
CNET:
The planned 40 to 50 games that get PS5 Pro upgrades at the hardware's Nov. 7 launch will focus on 4K and 60fps upgrades across the board, but also have a laundry list of other graphics boosts including new volumetric lighting and effects, richer graphics, more on-screen background characters, and modes that can ramp up to 120fps or 8K gaming.
I played Gran Turismo 7 in an 8K mode and a 4K mode that added all sorts of extra ray-tracing effects. Much like PC games, Cerny said the Pro could spark a range of extra gaming modes.

The $700 price is ATROCIOUS but it's gonna be hilarious when some of you Day 1 the Switch 2 for $499 and 64gb so you can play a new Wario Party.
