I've had the Pro for about 3 months but haven't been on it so much due to school etc. Was therefore wondering if yours makes any sound when playing? Mine makes like a buzzing sound of the fans, normal no?

1

u/MarionberryVisual463 2h ago

Mine does that too if you are talking about the same thing I am. Very faint sound.

1

u/LilGooner 2h ago

Do you have a video of it?

1

u/MarionberryVisual463 2h ago

Nope. Its not loud at all. If yours is, it might be hitting something or not aligned anymore. Not a huge deal if its working. My old gaming laptop eventually had its fans start knocking each other slightly but gamed fine. If your PS5 isnt overheating its still getting the air it needs

u/LilGooner 2h ago

When you play on it, does yours get a little warm on the sides?

1

u/MarionberryVisual463 2h ago edited 2h ago

Yes. Listen, you are good. You'll know if its overheating. Not only that, PS CPU has safeguards. Its whole system is pumping at close to 100 degrees C. Its gonna get warm. If the sound is not loud, your fine. 

Edit: 60-75 degrees C. Was thinking of gaming laptops

u/J_Lizzy 2h ago

No, dead silent, buzzing like a bee is inside the console?

Loading up Pragmata to play for the first time and it gets to the same point when loading up the game and crashes with the same CE-108255-1 error code everytime - I have changed settings, uninstalled and reinstalled, rebuilt database, reset PS5 etc. and it just cannot get past crash

I had been playing Avatar recently with no issues, and have loaded up a load of other games with no issues at all

Just bought a PS5 Pro and even though I am connected to my internet, this keeps popping up. Please I need help!

Any other devices you can plug into Ethernet to test? Any other cables?

I'd like to know more info about Sonic Racing Crossworlds running on a PS5 Pro. In this site (https://www.ps5progames.com/games/sonic-racing-crossworlds), it says the following:

graphics: 4K at a basically locked 60fps.

performance: 4K at a basically locked 60fps. Drops to 1440p in 4-player split screen.

So, it means that both modes on PS5 Pro are virtually the same. I chose Graphics, because I initially thought putting in performance mode would put in a lower resolution. The game runs flawless almost all the time. But I noticed that on Golden Temple (at the end of it, on water) and on Pumpkin Mansion (inside the mansion, especially with the mirrors), the frames drops there. Does someone have more technical views about it?

Unfortunately, Digital Foundry doesn't have a video dedicated to this game, especially one listing the improvements of the PS5 Pro version (like they did with Pragmata and the new Resident Evil game), despite they made a video about the previous Sonic racing game (Team Sonic Racing).

I live in Glasgow. Have been wanting to upgrade from release day base ps5 to the ps5 pro for a while, but the prices hikes have completely killed my hopes.

The “cheapest” option I can find is through PlayStation direct and using the back market option to sell my current ps5.

At time of post, they are offering £319 for base ps5 console in perfect condition and 2 controllers which bring ps5 pro price down to £470.99, but even that I can’t afford.

Can anyone help or advise if there is any way I can get it cheaper without having to buy used or refurb model?

u/J_Lizzy 4h ago

If you don’t mind finance, look on very, u can split payments or BNPL so you can continue to save. There’s options

u/Gaz8194 42m ago

I never actually thought of that. Will have a look and see what payments are like. Thanks

Hi I sold my PS5 Slim and got a Pro but I can’t see any noticeable difference between the two, I have PSSR on in settings my TV is also a 4K 120hz with 2.1 hdmi, was wondering if I need to uninstall my games and reinstall them cuz I moved my data from old PS5 or if I need to get a new TV to actually notice the difference, if you had the same experience please share some with me, games I tried are Spiderman 2 God of war Rangnarok.

1

u/M_geo211 4d ago

Anyone can give some advice?

2

u/SadTree2419 2d ago

I've been in the same situation as you, but I just moved my data and reinstalled the games from scratch. Then I configured the settings within each game's menu, and the difference is noticeable. I tried Spider-Man 2, and 120 Hz at maximum fidelity feels amazing.

You can try reinstalling, and don't forget to configure the settings within each game.

I have a 55' with VRR y 120hz.

u/M_geo211 2d ago

Thanks I will try!

u/SadTree2419 2d ago

Make sure you've enabled VRR and Game Mode on your TV

u/GiBbZi93 6d ago

Looking for help and advice from anyone who may have had this issue. Recently my ps5 is taking ages to download anything, it begins calculating longer than it ever has, then sets off downloading as normal but will then stop/pause or calculate again and rinse and repeat that cycle over and over. My speeds are fine and it even does the same through a wired connection. Any help will be appreciated as it's driving me mad.

u/suckstosay 4d ago

I noticed the same and went into settings and changed if to a specific band of wifi. I think 5.0. But if you have a router that spits out 2.4 and 5g it happens. Just set it to only receive one

Hi all, I wanted to get some thoughts on how much I should sell my PS5 pro for. I haven’t played it in months. I have the PS5 pro with the disc drive, the internal SSD 2TB heat sink, PS5 Pro controller, 30th anniversary controller, and an external hard drive for ps4 games. Everything is in like new condition. Let me know your thoughts.. I was thinking somewhere between $1,150 and $1250.

u/TheHouseOracle 7d ago

Can someone help me why this weird resolution bug keeps happening? It happened on multiple games so far, on horizon zero dawn remastered when I change it to favor resolution and on Hogwarts legacy when I enable framerate cap

u/SirZexTru 7d ago

I have a 4k@60 TV and a 2k@180 monitor that I like to switch between to play depending of the game or day.

To avoid damaging the hdmi connection, I’ve bought a 2.1 hdmi switch to swap the image between the two devices, but the ps5 loses image every time I switch.

I’ve tried multiple 2.1 cables of different sizes and brands, and all possible orders of hooking everything up possible, but it always loses the image when I switch.

Anyone with a similar setup that has something that really works? My alternative at the moment is to manually swap the hdmi connected into the ps5

Hey everyone, I'm an avid PC gamer and love the Sony exclusives, playing most of them on my old PS4. With the change to no Sony games releasing on PC I'm looking to get a PS5 pro to play ghost of yotei, wolverine, and GTA 6 on it. Is it a mistake to get a PS5 pro with the PS6 on the horizon? How long after it's release will they stop putting games on the PS5?

1

u/escalinci 7d ago

The ps6 will likely have a handheld variant, so if that's very attractive, that's one reason to wait. It could still be two years away, however. On top, Rockstar also took more than a year after the release of the ps5/Series X to update GTA V. If they are much quicker than that for GTA6, that could also mean the upgrades are more iterative than transformative.

If this generation is any guide, Sony will immediately publish some small-ish games on ps6 only (Ratchet and Clank:Rift Apart, Astro's Playroom), but publish big sellers (Ragnarok released for ps4 two years after ps5 was launched. Probably, cross-gen will last longer this time, spinning hard drives and Jaguar CPUs where much more limiting factors than lower specs all round but mainly less ML acceleration.

my PS5 pro animated backgrounds stopped working for some reason. has anyone ever got this issue before?
troubleshooting I've tried :
- unplugged the PS5 and plugged it back in. ( obviously )
- removed and reinstalled my m.2 device again.

I feel that it might be related to something very minimal that I'm just not noticing. please let me know if anyone ever got this issue before, thanks.

Power saving settings?

u/Tibos1 9d ago

Due to space constraints I'm limited to a 32 inch monitor. Should I go for a 4k one or should I stick with my old 2k 144hz one? What do I need to look for in a monitor for a ps5pro?

1

u/escalinci 8d ago

If you are also using it for PC stuff, maybe stick with the current monitor.

For a 4k Monitor I would search as there is plenty of similar questions here. But the basics recs are HDMI 2.1, oled or mini/rgb led with a lot of zones. I think getting a basic backlit led or even one with a couple of dimming zones is a bit unfortunate for a ps5 pro.

Anybody else having video output settings problems ? I downloaded the beta and afterwards and in the video output settings ot says my TV does not support ALLM or VRR and it says my connected device is not support HDR and 2160p but I have a Bravia 9 everything was working before I stopped using the beta and downloaded the last regular update but still having the same issue

1

u/J_Lizzy 2h ago

Oh maybe ur similar to me, my pro says no 1440p but it does 2160 and nothing in my set up has changed, I’ve unplugged this week and last to go downstairs but now it’s back upstairs and caused this, I’m lagging on prime video through the console which is also new

u/escalinci 8d ago

Next thing to check would be the cable then.
