Showing 146 of 146Reference rig: 8-core / 16-thread x86-64 CPU · Vulkan 1.3 discrete GPU, RTX 3070 class · 32 GB RAM · NVMe · 1080p
How a status gets written
Each title runs on the Windows installer build on the reference rig, after File → Install Firmware with the official PS5UPDATE.PUP and Boot system software. We record the Kiln build, the firmware version, Windows version, GPU, driver, the pad, and how far the title got: nothing, a boot, menus, gameplay, or start to finish. Start to finish is Stable. Gameplay with known issues is Beta. A boot, menus, an online-only wall, or a title not graded yet is Test. Regressions stay in the notes, and a newer test build can move a status in either direction.
◎ Launcher presets
Frame-rate targets for the presets in the launcher, measured on the reference rig. Vulkan 1.3 support does not mean every shader path exists on your card.
| Launcher preset | Lab target | Frame time | When to use it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance 1080pUpscaled | 60 fps | 16.6 ms · 1% ≥ 45 | Default for stable titles. |
| Balanced 1080pNative | 45 fps | 22 ms · 1% ≥ 32 | Heavier open worlds once gameplay is steady on your GPU. |
| Quality lab 1440pExperimental | 30 fps | 33 ms · experimental | High-end Vulkan GPUs only. |
| Boot check 720pMinimum | 30 fps | 33 ms · uneven | Used to see if a title starts on minimum spec. |
A driver update or the next installer can move these by a wide margin. The build date matters more than the headline number.
Name the GPU
Vulkan device, driver version, and whether an integrated GPU is also in the machine. A 1.3 driver can still reject a shader feature.
Name the outcome
