" so the ps5 can push more power than a top of the line brand new GPU? " ???
That isn't a finite concept, that is dynamic and varies, ie what game are you talking about running that? So its not just POWER, for god sakes we could be talking about running tetris, so the most powerful GPU is needed to run tetris in 8k? So ONLY that power of a GPU can run 8k regardless of game? Does that make sense to you or?
As a PC gamer, its understood that what a game is running is based on many factors, the game itself, settings, the GPU, CPU etc. You don't just state a GPU and the conversations over. It makes no sense at all regarding how that is actually understood. So can the PS5 push more power then a brand new GPU? Probably, depends on the GPU. PC doesn't have GT Sport so you wouldn't even know based on PC specs how demanding it is or isn't to really even question if its easy to pull off.
Yeah, it's technically possible. However, would the 2080 TI (the most powerful GPU available today, I think) be able to run any decently looking game at that resolution and at 120 FPS? I doubt it. As far as I know, it doesn't break 100 FPS at 4K for any game (although it gets close). Let's assume there is linearity in the relationship between resolution and fps. 8K might be possible (at 60hz only btw) but I doubt that it could even be able to maintain 60 FPS for most games.
I get your point but how far ahead would the PS5 GPU need to be to pull those numbers? You would also need to limit your choices to GPU's within prices reasonable for a console (which should cost $600 tops if they want to push it).
I'm a big Sony fan and I've had all their consoles since they joined the industry but every time there is a new console coming, we experience speculation like this and every time we get carried away with the hype of the capabilities of new consoles. GTS is not an old game, is a current gen game and it looks pretty good. If anything, the PS5 might be able to push 8K for simpler games just as previous generation could push higher resolutions for indie games and minis.
I mean, PS4P can barely push native 4K for select games and not many of them (if any) can have both 4K and 60 FPS.
That said, very few TV's in the market can push true 120hz,today regardless of the resolution, I can't see 8K/120Hz TV's being common place in the next 10 years and I don't you would get the true benefit of 120FPS with a 60Hz capable screen.
We have had great games that don't get the best available resolution but still offer great art and picture quality. PS3 had few 1080P/30FPS games and some of those were remastered to PS4 as either 1080P/60FPS or 4K/30FPS. It would be a huge jump to have current games remastered to run 4K(native)/60PS on next gen, let alone 8K AND 120FPS.
I hope I'm wrong as one of the aspects of this hobby that I like the most is the tech aspect but I'm inclined to think there is less than 10% chance that this video is rendered in something equivalent to the PS5 or that we can expect this performance with a launch PS5.
