Making the UI in 4k is not gonna tax the hardware, they just didn't give a fukk or forgot to do it

Nah it does though. I remember reading an article about it on the 1x. Apparently it takes up around 1GB of Ram for the 4k rendering. They decided to give that extra GB to the games....

I don't think they "forgot to do it" - it was a calculated decision. I'll see if I can pull up the old article

The Pro does output in 4K.

This is from Jan 2017, there's loads more. the UI is in 4K also.

lmao, of course it outputs in 4k, it only outputs 1080p and 4k, that's why they need the checkboard PRO games to 4k resolution so it outputs, the ps4 doesn't support 1440p output

I have persona 5 royal I know it's native 4k, but thats a ps3 game basically, stop with the semantics PRO doesn't have any 4k games,

That said that for the X Box One X which it still doesn't make any sense, since the game and the UI don't run at the same time, it's not like a PC that has borderless window mode where you desktop is active while the game is running in full screen

but we're talking about the series x, they could easily made the GUI 4k

This is complete nonsense.

The Pro does checkerboard or dynamic rendering for some games. Every game doesn't render the same way. The PS4 itself doesn't support 1440P output(for the OS) but there are 1440P rendered titles like TLOU 2 or UC4.

Resolution-wise, we're looking at an evolution of the same engine that delivered Uncharted 4, so it comes as little surprise to see that the same basic presentation is delivered. We'd already noted that PlayStation 4 Pro runs at a native 1440p (albeit aliasing-free thanks to one of the best TAA solutions on the market) but it's nice to confirm that the base PS4 delivers the full 1920x1080 resolution we've come to expect. The highly effective HDR solution is identical on both systems, and we can also confirm that whether your Pro is set to 1080p or 4K output, you're getting the same internal 1440p pixel-count.
