- Saved game load benchmarking was conducted with PlayStation 4® Pro console and saved Grand Theft Auto V games. A power cycle was performed before each test to clear the system. Then a saved game was loaded to the dashboard. Five complete powercycle and load tests were combined and results were averaged. Performance improvements are compared to baseline measures taken from the same test using stock PlayStation 4® Pro hardware.
