The title doesn't correlate with what's said here:
I don't know for sure, I'm not a developer, but this SmartShift tech is worrisome I think.
Dude doesn't know the price or the performance differences, from his own mouth.
And yet continues to spew fud at every moment.
What a fucktard
What’s with Jeff Grubb lately?
holy shit that title change lol
Insight? you mean... 'inshite'There's his mistake. Talking about development when he just doesn't have the proper knowledge to understand it. I still like the guy though for giving out insight to things.
The other thing that's funny ... is how short people's memories are. It's like this didn't exist:
We've seen a ton of fantastic material running directly on PS5 already. Does that video look "troublesome"?

Another concern you tuber / journalist giving opinion.
Glad we can see the games for ourselves . 4k60 and RT, and yet insiders say trouble...
Whatever.

Yes. And based on "i think" and "my understanding". He is not a dev. Only a attention whore.Isn't this the exact opposite of what we have heard so far?
Both Sony and MS will be relying heavily on 3rd party games this holiday and Spiderman DLC and Bugsnax isn't enough to push units.
Now we know why Sony is backing up the Brinks truck into lobbies of 3rd party developers.
They know they're going to lose the head to head comparisons and so need a differentiator to sell their console. So we're going to see exclusive characters, skins and weapons.

...or sony could just downclock and disable smartshift.Breaking news update:
~~~
On the most recent episode of the Basement Radio Arcade Podcast , noted insider Jeff Grubb hinted that devs are having trouble with the PS5’s variable frequency approach, and warned that gamers may be “disappointed” by some major third-party titles.
The technology that Sony's using for the PS5 is AMD SmartShift and...a lot of people are just assuming the PS5 is going to be right there with the Xbox Series X, and it may be, I don't know for sure, I'm not a developer, but this SmartShift tech is worrisome I think. What it does is it moves power between the CPU and the GPU and developers really haven't had to worry about that, especially on consoles, in the past.
This could, at launch at least, prove troublesome, to the point where you could start getting stories from Digital Foundry or whatever saying "Y'know, the PS5 version is actually kind of wack." That will get cleared up over time, developers will figure it out, Sony will figure it out and explain to developers "here's what to do," but my understanding is they're not doing that yet and that's the issue. So, you go into launch, and people [could be] disappointed, with, like, Madden, NBA 2K, Call of Duty. That could leave a bad taste in people's mouths.

They have a set of power profiles for optimisation. The dev kits don't have Smartshift, no.Arent PS5 devkits locked at fixed frequencies. If thats the case developers arent dealing with smartshift.
Yeah, Cerny already said that devkits support fixed frequencies to help developers optmize better, but hey, it's not FUD so it doesn't matter.Arent PS5 devkits locked at fixed frequencies. If thats the case developers arent dealing with smartshift.

Exactly aye, I can't understand why devs would be having trouble with it when a) they don't have it and b) it's automatic and runs on its own.Yeah, Cerny already said that devkits support fixed frequencies to help developers optmize better, but hey, it's not FUD so it doesn't matter.
You think that is all it takes?Yeah, Cerny already said that devkits support fixed frequencies to help developers optimize better, but hey, it's not FUD so it doesn't matter.
Xbox fanboys and shills: "Series X is more powerful, we can't show it but please believe us won't you"
Maybe the Raytracing (30 fps) patch will be done by then. Sony is cocky as hell. Watch them sell DLC for $60.The end of this year is going to be hard on some of you.
Well people will believe what they want. When developers were saying that the PS5 was easier to develop for and better over all than XSX people here ate it up. Now some developers are saying they are having problems with PS5 development and people here are simply dismissing it or saying MS paid them off or posting Craig memes. One thing is clear; Sony's strategy of paying 3rd parties for timed exclusives will be a quick and easy way to beat back any XSX advantage. Think Destiny 1 and 2. Just pay them to not make the game on the XSX or make it so late it won't matter. It tough but since it's Sony its more than fair. Call it the PlayStation Advantage. Should be an interesting generation.
Did sony show anything that looked like that?? no. Also it was a tech demo, not a game. There's a big difference.
just release both consoles next year ffs
Neither can 343iDo you know what will happen if you witness the power of the Series X?

Mortal eyes can't view it's power!!!!!
Not really. He passed off speculation as "inside" info and then later retracted it, without qualification.So let me get this straight, everything Jeff has said up to this very moment has been 100% accurate truth and gospel, but now that he's indicated sources tell him they're having trouble with early games on PS5, he's an Xbox discord FUD spreader bought and paid for directly by Phil Spencer?
Have I about summed up the current situation?
He'll have got it from the Dusk Golem post is all.Not really. He passed off speculation as "inside" info and then later retracted it, without qualification.
Or re-read what you quoted....or sony could just downclock and disable smartshift.
