this game run at PS5 1400p maximum, even not close to 4k!

I play it on performance mode it's a lot smooth and comfortable to play in 60fps

I don't mind playing the game at 60fps at 1440p but I am happy about the 40fps at 4k I'm getting the game today

Not sure if it's something to do with the latest firmware update but the game is performing terrible right now.
Screen tearing and 30fps in the performance mode. How the heck is that possible??

Edit: turns out, it was a TV settings thing. My TV isn't 120hz compatible and if I had that option tienes into automatic the whole game gets absolutely clunky and unplayable on both performance and fidelity modes.

How the fuck is there no 4k, 60fps on the ps5 is beyond me. Isn't Last of us Part 2 at 4k 60fps. I'm currently playing in performance mode at 120 hz, vrr, unlocked frame rate.

My s 95 b says I'm playing at 4k, more than 60fps, 120hz and VRR is that possible ?

Agustin Domínguez

Just ten years. It’s mind boggling how much we keep evolving technology wise. It’s incredible.

If a PS5 can run this at 1440p 60FPS with perfect frametimes and zero stutter, my PC with a 9900k and a 3080 should be able to too... but its a horrible stuttery mess :(
