The launch of RX VEGA is imminent. Next Monday, AMD's latest generation of graphics cards will make its highly anticipated debut starting at $ 399. One of the unexpected beneficiaries of this launch would be Playstation 4 Pro. We tell you why.

Playstation 4 Pro will benefit from the launch of RX VEGA

Its launch and potential success could also have an indirect impact on the ongoing fight between Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro and Microsoft's upcoming Xbox One X, which will be available in stores starting November 7 for a price of 499. Dollars.

It turns out that RX Vega will introduce, for the first time on desktop GPUs, Rapid Packed Math functionality. This allows two 16-bit operations (FP16) to be run at the same time instead of a single 32-bit operation (FP32) for image processing. This would allow doubling the graphics performance at the cost of 'worsening' the quality and precision of the image or other operations that require the calculation of the GPU.

This functionality called Rapid Packed Math was added in Playstation 4 Pro, but not in XBOX One X, surely because such functionality was not necessary.

The first games that will take advantage of the Rapid Packed Math will be Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus and Far Cry 5, which with that extra power could reach 4K resolution, although surely with worse image quality than real 4K that could offer XBOX One X. This will surely be seen in the countless comparisons that will come out between both 'Premium' consoles from Sony and Microsoft.

The interesting thing will be to see this Rapid Packed Math functionality in PC games, we can not wait to try it.
