It's not the hardware that's the problem. (Though again, the built in hardware decompression matters too.) It's the PC libraries for loading being dogshit. Loading speeds on PS5 with everything identical blow doors off of PC.
And again, I already answered the question in the post you're replying to. You can stream the much higher quality game from disk in real time.
Didn't digital foundry report that pc was slightly faster at loading h:fw?
They did
I think that as long as a game doesn't use DirectStorage GPU decompression and you have a good enough CPU to compensate it should be faster.
There was a really good interview with nixxies where they went into a lot of detail about what they did, but it was basically as you said.
"with everything identical"? Yeah if you had a low end PC it wouldn't be very good.
The point is that the settings don't matter. You can't match the load performance of the PS5 on PC.
This will likely eventually change. But right now the PS5's storage stack actually gives cutting edge performance, and it's what makes seamless loading screen free traversal, including fast travel anywhere, possible in current, demanding games.
I don't think that is true? If you had a high end nvme drive you beat ps5 load times on every port released.... Since the PS5 came out?
Is that the same magical loading that Ratchet and Forbidden West DLC had that made it impossible to run anywhere else but then it came to PC where it runs better?
holy ignorance
