Based on looks alone, that will probably be the best DS to date. Ergonomically, it looks to be much better than all the rest of them.
The “Lumen in the Land of Nanite” demo ran at approximately 1440p and 30fps, but apparently, the PS5 could easily render most of it at 60fps. As we already learned, Nanite is not particularly taxing on hardware – the entire GPU rendering cost of the demo was about 4.5ms, which is about 1/4 the timeframe budget at 30fps or 1/8 at 60fps. The demo also only used a rather paltry 768MB of RAM. Despite this, the demo is pushing massive numbers of polygons – a single one of the statues seen in the demo contains 33m polygons, with most of what looks like traditional textures being actual 3D geometry made up of tiny pixel-sized polygons. The statues alone in the scene below contain 16 billion polygons.

I figured this would be the case, though.
Unreal Engine 5 Nanite Tech Can Easily Render a Million High-Poly Objects at 60fps on PS5
Just how many thousands of objects and billions of polygons was that Unreal Engine 5 demo pushing? New details on Epic's next-gen tech!

So why didn't it run it at 60FPS if it was so easy.The “Lumen in the Land of Nanite” demo ran at approximately 1440p and 30fps, but apparently, the PS5 could easily render most of it at 60fps.

It was a demo for one, and likely time constraints.

I don't have time to watch through it now, but I'm curious about how much disk space they used for that demo.
Maybe Nanite alone(as in geometry). I image Lumen on top of it isn't so kind on rendering budgets. Gotta process that stuff. If it could be at 60fps, they wouldn't be showing it at 30. Also 1440p. Now you get some DLSS action on that and you can get a 4k quality image, but acting like it's easily done when it's 1440p/30 is silly.The “Lumen in the Land of Nanite” demo ran at approximately 1440p and 30fps, but apparently, the PS5 could easily render most of it at 60fps.

If you listen to what Epic said it might not be easy but it's doable and the goal.
Yep, I was right. Lumen is the reason it was @30fps. Duh. It also says Nanite isn't good with softbody objects like grass (foliage) and hair. Great for rigid bodies though. The geometry is definitely awesome, but lets face it, that lighting solution was at least half of why that looks as good as it does. On another note, Lumen doesn't work great with mirrored objects or reflections, apparently. Good news is can be combined with other Unreal tech, which is awesome. We will see a lot of hybrid use of Nanite and Lumen, methinks.
I take "hope" with a grain of salt. But perhaps. They could probably do it with lower sample rates of Lumen or something. Maybe not even use Lumen.
If you go to GAF and find the thread for this topic the OP of the thread breaks down a lot of this. About the GPU in the PS5 being a bottleneck and a few things about the Series X.
Not sure about any of it though because I am not a tech person.
Sure does make sense,they had to throw something together that was obviously not optimized.
Yeah. Cause we all know that is how you demo a product. Half assed and running half pace.
Yup with time constraints hence them saying things will be improved by time the engine launches.
Not sure how you can say that. The tech is phenomenal.
