- Don't buy a new TV for
your PS5 until you understand Performance and Resolution Modes, and what your current
TV is capable of doing. Now to access those Modes for your games, you want to go into Settings and then you want to go down here to where it says, Saved Data and Game/App Settings, then go right here to Game Presets. And this is where you can change between Performance
Mode or Resolution Mode. Now, this is basically
the three options here. There's Game Default where you
let the game kind of decide between the two, and just
kind of give you the option. Or you can set this by default
so it works in each game that the games that's support
these particular optics and not every game supports these newer, higher resolutions or frame rates. So if you decide to choose
Performance Mode here, Performance Mode is going
to be high frame rates, up to 120 frames per
second on the game here, but it's going to sacrifice
some image and video quality to be able to do that, it's
not going to run necessarily as high as it possibly can
in terms of resolution. This is, this is very, very
game dependent on this, so each game is going to handle this a little bit differently but that's what the Performance option's
going to give you. It's going to prioritize
faster frame rates. Now in Resolution Mode,
that's going to prioritize higher quality images at the
sacrifice of frame rates. So I might only go at
about 30 frames per second but there might be full 4k or maybe even up to 8K, whenever we get to that. But that's going to pretty much
use that by default instead. Now these settings, like I
said are just game preferences, the game itself is still
going to kind of control most of this, I do know
with certain games, you kind of have to
either choose performance from a Resolution Mode to get the options within the game itself,
to be able to sort of change those options because
some things get locked out. So we're going to actually
test this out here first by using Spider-Man: Miles
Morales, as an example here. Now, when you see in this first part here, I'm actually doing some web swinging and a little bit of fighting here, and you can see that that's
going on much faster frame rate. You can see much smoother
animations or whatnot. The quality of the video
is down just a little bit in terms of the game, but
you get a much smoother much more flowy, fast like experience. And some people might
definitely like that high frame rate sort of setting there as you can see me kind
of flowing through it. Now, when I switched
over to Resolution Mode, you'll see that the game
doesn't flow nearly as fast with that type of speed but the quality of the images are a whole lot better, the video quality of the
game is a lot better, so they kind of increase that. So if you're somebody that
wants to see the rich details, you really prefer the
graphics over the frame rate. Then this might be the option
that you want to choose in terms of gaming on your
PS5 here in Resolution Mode, but it's really independent
towards which games decide this, and your TV makes a decision
with this as well too or rather your TV Settings play
a part in this whole thing. So if you want to check that
out, you want to go into actually, we go back into
Settings and if we go all the way to Screen and Video and you go
to Video Output Information, you'll exactly see what your TV supports right on that display,
so for me right now, cause I'm actually plugging
through a Capture Card. It says I support the 4K
at 60 Hertz refresh rate, I have HDR available as well, until it's about frequencies
of those we'll work at. I don't have 120 frames per
second, or a 200 megaHertz TV or higher frame rate
TV just yet than that. That also requires HTMI 2.1,
which most TVs right now don't have that, that's a newer standard that's sort of getting out
there, and not a lot of games are at the point of really
supporting that just yet, that's really more for
future-proofing things. The really difference between
HTMI 2.0 and 2.1 is just how much more bandwidth you can shove down HTMI 2.1, which allows for
this AK gaming, which allows for the 4K at 120 frames per second. But you have to have the
game that supports that and you need the TV at the same time. I wouldn't worry about
that necessarily right now if you're deciding to buy
a console, just go ahead and do that if you want to do it, but know that you can get
that later down the road, when it is time for you
to buy a brand new TV. And I would suggest
buying a TV for more than just a gaming console or a specific game, get it for more of those
reasons, but at least, you know when you buy a newer
TV, you're most likely going to have those
features within that TV, HTMI 2.1, faster refresh rate on the TV, which is going to allow you to get even better benefits on these
next deckshare consoles, specifically here with the PS5. Those are my suggestions there, in terms of kind of handling that
sort of thing there. Now, if you want to see
what more options you have in the User Interface, definitely check out our deep dive
walkthrough with the PS5 UI. I love how those User Interface is, It just has a great sort of flow that kind of goes along with it here. Also if you want to maybe do a little bit of remote playing with, I don't know why I did that weird jerk
there, but if you want to do some remote playing with your PS5, You can actually set this up
doing PS5 to PS4 Remote Play. And we went over that here a little bit and plus check out all of our content. We have a giant playlist of all this stuff talking about the PS5 and we'll be adding to that more as we go along
here. Thanks for watching.
