Can you tell the difference between 4k Native vs Upscaled? 🤔
Just because a console and a PC can “run” games at 4k resolution does NOT mean that both graphics have the same quality.
Most consoles games are forced use aggressive upscaling techniques in order to run games at “4k” resolution at a good frame rate (like 60/120fps). On PC you have more options to configure your graphics settings. And if you have a strong enough system, you can run games without any upscaling or in “native”. A game running in 4k native resolution versus one that uses upscaling will not have the same level of quality when it comes to graphics.
Native takes more resources and more expensive hardware to run usually and that’s why PS5s don’t cost $2000 😅

00:00Yo, these graphics are amazing.
00:07That's nothing compared to PC, man.
00:09What do you mean, Sheed?
00:10My PS5 is running this game at 4K.
00:12Isn't that the same as your $2,000 gaming PC running at 4K?
00:16Not even close.
00:17So most games that you play on PS5 are not even running games at 4K native.
00:21What does native mean exactly?
00:22A game running at native resolution means that your hardware is generating the exact
00:26number of pixels that your monitor or TV was designed to display, so it has the best
00:30quality.
00:31Most games on PS5 use scaling techniques, which renders the game at a lower resolution
00:35first and then scales it up to 4K for better performance.
00:38It's kinda like when you take a really low resolution picture and then try to print it
00:41out on a big sheet of paper.
00:43It turns out blurry, right?
00:44Scaling techniques help make this blurry image look better, but it's still not the same quality
00:48as native.
00:49Now that you mention it, that does make sense.
00:51I guess the PS5 would have to cost a lot more if it were actually that powerful.
00:55Yeah, one of the main advantages of gaming on console is that it's more affordable, so
00:59it would kinda defeat the purpose if PS5 were costing like $2,000.
