Last Gen load times:

Spoiler: results, because i was not allowed to put it into the title

Series X is faster

Boot time and resume:

 

[R3claimer117]

That SSD power!

 

[itsnotme]

Well digital foundry says otherwise

 

[Andodalf]

MS decided to optimize their software stack with a consistent SSD instead of brute forcing SSD Max speed

 

[MadchesterManc]

Oh. I was expecting Dirt 5 or something actually designed for the systems but it's just a bunch of last gen games in BC mode instead

 

[BlueXImpulse]

If you actually think the XSX has faster I/O than PS5 just say so in clear letters so you can be held accountable at a later date.

How PS5 And Xbox Series X Backward Compatibility Load Times Compare

Here's how PS5 and Xbox Series X perform booting up some of the last generation's most notable load time offenders.

Here's the article

And boot/resume times;

 

[prinz_valium]

Well digital foundry says otherwise

I didn't see any same game comparisons done by DF yet. Do you have a link, so I can up it into the OP?

 

[Mister Wolf]

I'm not surprised.

 

[iJudged]

ok, at first i thought it was a mere second, can anyone explain this to me? PS5 has a superior SSD, why isn't is faster?

 

[BlueXImpulse]

 

[Thaedolus]

BC loading comparisons are kinda interesting but not as interesting as multi platform next gen comparisons

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

SSD5 is not SSD enough it seems

 

[itsnotme]

I didn't see any same game comparisons done by DF yet. Do you have a link, so I can up it into the OP?

 

[Rikkori]

The sad thing about the SSDs is that we don't have any real info on what they're capable of because all we got offered as info is sequential speed - which is 100% useless info wrt games. On PC it's easy enough to test Q1D1 speeds and IOPS, but on consoles? I don't know how they will do it.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Well if true, then uh, LOL

 

[RoboFu]

what happened to the "2 secs" ?? lol

 

[Poppyseed]

Both quick. XSX much quicker than PS5. Didn’t see that coming.

 

[Elias]

DF have been wrong in the past, watch the videos in OP

 

[prinz_valium]

That's a statement, not a side by side test.

 

[Plantoid]

But bro, the ps5 has THE SSD, they lied to us?

Ibf4: "last gen games", "wait for df", "if I don't see the dashboard it doesn't count", "at least we have games"

 

[BlueXImpulse]

DF have been wrong in the past, watch the videos in OP

I did. Before that I said if you actually believe that XSX has faster I/O than the PS5 say it. Don't toe the line, actually say it so you can be held accountable.

Yup and I think Ps5 will load all ps4 games uninterupted by spash / health or contacting servers in 1 second.

Cerny in his speach said the words immediately, thats all we have, Sony sure are confident.

RDR2 is done by a third party called Rockstar, you may of hear of them. Third party is independent of the console maker just for your information.

So, MS is a $ 43 billion company and the game in question state of decay was done by an MS division called Xbox game studios, and it took about 10 seconds being generous was the demo.

So pick a Sony game studio game for comparson by any sane persons logic. Sony have already stated all ps4 games will load instantly, do you want the link ? Might be slowed by game studio start screens if its utouched of course and may contact servers, the usual.

I saw no special load screens on state of decay demo, so xbox game studios did somethiing to remove the usual start up messages and banners allowing a straight up fast loading.

There has been only ps5 demo, it was called spiderman, and it loaded in under a second. I am sure they removed the loading and other start screens as well if thats what you mean.

Sorry I dont have exact time, it wa shard to press the start and stop button fast emough.



If by optimisation, you mean removing all the crap display at the start, then yes both games had that.

Its old games comparison.

 

[THEAP99]

Wow. All that chest beating mark cerny did about the ssd. What a moron

 

[Thirty7ven]

Oh it's only BC?

What about next gen games?

 

[Neko Mimi Mode]

FFS.

 

[itsnotme]

So the PS5 is performing better and XSX is loading faster, after everything LOL

Cash cheques.

 

[RoboFu]

Edit: thought these were backwards. lol

anywho PS5 has faster IO, twices as fast. its should load faster but wont be 1:1 because there is alot of variables involved.

 

[iJudged]

Old games or not, this is substantial diff, i expected better from Sonys SSD

 

[Ar¢tos]

ok, at first i thought it was a mere second, can anyone explain this to me? PS5 has a superior SSD, why isn't is faster?

Someone on Era says that this isn't because of the SSD speed differences, but because of the Cpu speed difference (3.8 for BC games on the XSX).

 

[TheDude108]

I'm guessing its some sort of overhead on the PS5 BC software that is causing the speed differential. Xbox has great BC software, the team behind it is really fantastic so that could explain why its a bit faster, or a lot in some cases. Hopefully PS5 software updates will improve that, as really the SSD speed difference between the two consoles should show an appreciable difference in favour of the PS5.

 

[Thirty7ven]

Fantasy for these past months vs Reality.

Let's see if it's fantasy once next gen comparisons start. Please don't ghost us once those come around.

 

[Elias]

I did. Before that I said if you actually believe that XSX has faster I/O than the PS5 say it. Don't toe the line, actually say it so you can be held accountable.

How can anyone say that for sure when we are now just getting results to compare . No one will know until the consoles are fully released and there has been extensive testing.

 

[LisaMariaMartin]

What a twist

 

[Nikana]

ok, at first i thought it was a mere second, can anyone explain this to me? PS5 has a superior SSD, why isn't is faster?

Likely the file systems favor something about the way the SSD is setup on Xbox. It might hit the cpu faster or harder in BC mode so its being decompressed faster,

 

[Vasto]

 

[Insane Metal]

Oh it's in BC.

Both underwhelming, XSX less so.

 

[ethomaz]

That is how the PS5 BC works.... if it is not patched it runs at PS4/PS4 Pro modes where the CPU/GPU are way slower than Series X.
To use the actual PS5 clocks the games needs to be patch to PS5.

BTW that is not related to SSD speeds.

 

[reforen]

that's enough data, let's call this a thread closed

 

[iJudged]

Likely the file systems favor something about the way the SSD is setup on Xbox. It might hit the cpu faster or harder in BC mode so its being decompressed faster,

that's what i am thinking, too...makes no sense

 

[DavidGzz]

Performing better on what? I missed it.

 

[Bernkastel]

Backwards Compatibility in Xbox does not even use the Velocity Architecture.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Let's see if it's fantasy once next gen comparisons start. Please don't ghost us once those come around.

Seeing is believing. No more fairytales.

 

[fermcr]

Strange...

 

[Mojoraisin]

Interesting - I read that FW uptates have contributed to a whole new level of performance for PS5. Are tests done on the last?

 

[Zathalus]

Odd that the PS5 is slower, I thought BC games would have been similar because these older games are not taking advantage of the newer features of each console.
