Not only does the ps5 have dedicated ray tracing hardware, its actually a lot more accurate then the series X due to the much higher Clock speed of the GPU

@GTGamer

Indeed. It also has hardware for VRS, called primitive shaders. They also have a patent for VRS, which MS even notated in their own patent in order to state that their patent is indeed a different implementation and not derivative of it.
People will keep talking without understanding the core material by remembering a few hot terms they've read in headlines and other users words. Reminds me of the scene in Good Will Hunting when he schools the dude that doesn't really understand the book but remembers a few lines to sound smart and just feels obliged to bring it up to act big brain.

@sinspirit
They must really think people are too stupid to do their own research 🙄 they keep spreading lies with no proof and expect us to run with it and this is why people on this site should stop speaking on things they don't know much less understand but I digress. Bunch of overnight devs on this site.

The dev clearly states Ray-tracing🤦‍♂️
We already know its hardware based, what more do you guys need🙃

@Destiny1080

LOL that is absolutely the furthest thing from the truth. In reality the performance of ray tracing is not based on accuracy, that terminology makes no sense. Its about bounces and how many you can implement among a path or from lighting probes. In that space, having more CUs means more ROPs and thus much more capability in the hardware to be able to produce more bounces, at more frequent rates to get better RT performance. So having 52 CUs vs. 36 means the Xbox Series X is much more capable at ray tracing, no GPU overclock is going to fix that

@Bruh

That's a big stretch. CU's and ROP's are two different pieces of hardware. ROP's don't have a set number necessary for each CU across different architectures. PC hardware is typically same hardware, different cuts, and different yields that carry across tiers of hardware. Some are made totally different while others are from the same wafer despite having different capabilities. Basically, this is different for PC hardware where you must be comparing linear hardware numbers with higher tier cards. Consoles have their own specific chips with specific specs.

The PS5 will have as many ROPs as it was designed to have, and SX will do the same. They are the same architecture, but not the same manufacturing process. Similar? Yes. But, we don't know how many ROPs the PS5 will have if we know how many the SX has, and vice versa. It's not a fixed ratio here. For instance the XBox One versus the PS4. Significantly different ratio of CU's to ROP's.

And, we also don't know the specs of the ray-tracing hardware itself. Higher core-clock directly benefits *everything*. CU's have diminishing return if not fully utilized. Instructions per clock is extremely important for ray-tracing. CU's don't affect that so much. Especially with XBox not pushing for next gen support by having last gen games, and with devs surely worry about last gen, the CU's aren't going to be utilized a lot.

Lol I know right 😁😂

Xbox Series X will be able to do raytracing better than PS5. It will be like 4K was this currentgen where PS4 Pro versions rarely hit native 4k.

Next gen you'll see some titles that will have Raytracing on Xbox but not on PS. Or if they do its with significantly lower graphics quality.

Update:
Holy shit there's some really stupid people here. Stop discussing things you have no clue about.

@oldboy

Don't deflect. I've talked highly on many of Sony's exclusives in the past. I have a PS4 in my house, while I don't have an Xbox. You just get really uptight because I think gamepass is a great service, and I don't just give Sony a pass when they do something worth calling out. I'm a gamer, and you're .... we'll just call it biased.
