According to this video memory is running hot on PS5. Do you think it’s a real concern?
I must admit it’s a little disappointing that this has come to light.

Could well be a bug. Just amuses me how some of the X performance also looked bugged and the PS5 fans were proclaiming that it couldn’t possibly be the case.

It fits their agenda. If you couldn't tell from previous posts on the forums, I would never choose the PS5 over the Xbox... But to sit trashing either side for no reason is just a sign of the persons intelligence, which is also why so many gaming communities are so toxic now.

I’ve not had any issues at all with my PS5 and as you say the system should have gone through rigorous testing. Worry about it as and when I guess.
Soldato
I am willing to wait until early next year to get a PS5 for my daughter. Hopefully by then the 'bugs' will have been eliminated
Interesting thing to take from his testing, if one suspects there issues might be temp related they can try running the consoles with both panels off, to see if it helps.

Assuming they are bugs. I’ll leave now before I get lynched
Get out! Go play your last gen games

They're far better than anything released in the last month!
From what I learnt when tuning DDR4 timings, the trefi type stuff is affected by temperatures, every so often the DRAM needs to refresh itself, manufacturers set defaults very conservative, the reason been that at high temperatures they have to refresh more often to prevent bit flipping. So DRAM is ultimately more reliable in cooler temperatures.
However the PS5 doesnt use DRAM, it uses VRAM instead, the characteristics might be different, also an unknown is how these type of values are configured.
The instability reported on reddit, I dont think is heat related, there is people sitting on the dash and firing up a game and before you can count to 10 its crashed to dashboard. So potentially two issues, or maybe the memory isnt an issue at all. But I personally wouldnt be comfortable running hardware at 90C.

Maybe from Google play store yeah. Just saw weird game on GP for PC, River City Girls, quality release that. Tetris Effect was great addition though.

Guys, just wondering. I have a PS5 with all the games I want on it. I want them games on my other PS5 too, however don't want to redownload them. They are PS4 titles for the record.
Does the transfer to an external drive use a copy or cut method? I was thinking the PS moved a game to the external drive, it didn't leave it on the console storage, so if I did that it would be off the original console which is what I do not want.
Hope that makes some kind of sense?! Anyway around this?

Can't you leave the PS4 games on the drive and move it between consoles?

Only idiots would pay above RRP
Everyone complained on both PS4 releases of their consoles sounding like jet airliners. PS4 first release, then PS4 Pro.
PS3 suffered many YLODs not long after release or 6 months and beyond. Until the slim models. Solder cracked on the GPU.
