TL;DR
- Division 2 is fixed on PS5.
- Breakpoint: PS5 Rez mode = 1440p/30. Series X = 4K/30. Series S only has one mode @ 1440p/30
- Performance mode: PS5: 1080p/60. Series X 1440p/60.
- All have dynamic resolution, both PS5/Series X stick close to top bounds in resolution mode.
- Series X can drop to 1296p in Performance mode but generally always higher resolution than PS5.
Ghost Recon Breakpoint doubles performance on next-gen consoles
The new console generation has so far been amazing for players who love smooth, 60 frames per second gaming. Ubisoft, e…

I wonder if Sony has some sort of mandate to lock BC games at the same resolution as PS4 Pro or this is just BC limitation on PS5
There is no mandate, the BC profile on PS5 simulates the hardware of a PS4 Pro, with a boost. Like PS4 Pro playing regular PS4 games. They can flag things to work only on a PS5, but it's still limited by the emulation of the PS4 Pro hardware.
The Xbox BC stuff allows for more access to the hardware and less limitations on power. It's still not a full Series X for BC games, but it's closer.

Not always. Some games might not use the PS5 GPU boost if that makes the game unstable. Without a native PS5 version, some games cannot use the full 2.23ghz for the GPU. On Pro is was different because all PS4 games could use the GPU overclock, but only with a warning that it could create unstability, and there is a toggle on Pro for this, the user has to activated it himself (and takes responsibility if something goes wrong).
I didn't say anything of the GPU per se.
In fact, I was thinking about CPU and I/O clocks, which are clearly improved in all games by default.
When I played GR around launch of the Series X, anytime I pointed a weapon the game would microfreeze and make horrible noises. Looks like that issues gone so I might get round to playing this. Now if only they removed that MMO wannabe hub world...
Breakpoint has a 10 hour free demo I think too, so worth checking out if you think its your type of game

Limitation. There is no PS5 BC game running above the dynamic resolution maximum or the fixed resolution
Could be, but it won't matter. PS5 in BC can't increase the resolution above the limit (in this case 1440p).
I stoped playing this on xbox cause it looked like poo and had terrible slowdown,might start it up again.
1440p @ 60fps is a great sweet spot on XSX.
Is the Sam Fisher/Splinter Cell stuff still available or was that a timed thing? I have to experience that still.

Pretty weird that they didnt touch/couldnt improve the load times in the PS5 version of division 2 to align with the SX/SS versions. The super fast Loading has made hitting the other objectives all on the map less of a chore For sure.

Yeah, same resolution but sticks closer to higher bound in the dynamic threshold.
honestly I'm thrilled that I'm even able to play my PS4 games on PS5, but Xbox remains the king of backward compatibility. Would love to see Sony invest in the feature the way MS has.
So I think it's become abundantly clear at this point that PS5's backwards compatibility capabilities are not anywhere near as robust as Series S|X's.
Nice bait, but this has absolutely nothing to do with extra horsepower. With some extra work, these should both be able to hit 4K/60 with these games.
We need next gen native games to verify a power difference. PS5 just simply mimicked PS4 Pro resolution not really a fair comparison to Series X on bc games.
Seems like the power difference is starting to manifest itself, but it could just be the recent bunch of games that favor the SX for whatever reason.
Overall, I don't think the higher resolution of recent SX upgrades are worth the hitching or framerate dips when the PS5 is smooth sailing at slightly lower resolutions. Stuff like that is much more noticeable in game than 1600 vs 1440p when displayed using a modern renderer with temporal upscaling.

I bought The Division 2 right before the patch came out on Xbox for like $9. Holy cow, that performance mode sure does make a difference. I wish my PC progress carried over, but it's been fun starting a new character and just messing around in the world.
You gotta love Ubisoft for being quick with the upgrade patches... It's given me games to play while I wait for more new releases.

It's just how they do backwards compatibility with these titles. Xbox team went harder into it, which was kind of a gambit but seems to really suit the next gen post-launch drought right now. But what I'm trying to say is that this isn't a real indication of how powerful the consoles are.

An enhanced Odyssey will immediately make it the best AC game on the newer platforms.
That was obvious from the getgo. All PS5 is doing to BC games helping with a more stable framerate keeping the upper bounds of dynamic resolution. Just glad there is BC at all.
Honestly its utterly surprising because the PS5 has an SSD twice as fast!
Did someone test this? PS4 Pro with a SSD vs PS5 BC.
Some of the games were running in BC mode and Xbox BC solution is just more flexible and robust. Having said that I expect percentage wise more native titles to run better on Xbox as time goes on, too. The difference just won't be as big as this game shows, because Division and this are limited by BC.
I've seen other games tested and PS4 Pros with SSDs load the same as PS5 with SSD (internal or external).
As for Division 2, I've put 200+ hours into it and can confirm loads are pretty much the same between my Pro SSD and now PS5.
