Back in the PSSR
Digital Foundry has just published a PS5 Pro comparison video, showing off the difference the console's AI upscaling tech in particular makes to The Last of Us Part II Remastered.
The video pretty much speaks for itself, with the unsurprising result being that the Pro's output is simply better than the regular PS5's. The game's Pro mode renders the image at 1440p before PSSR upscales it to full 4K, targeting 60 frames-per-second.
In short, it achieves its goal of marrying the old Performance and Fidelity modes, giving players the best of both worlds.
The frame rate is very nearly flawless, with only some tiny dips during transitions in cut-scenes. Meanwhile, the image quality more than measures up to the old Fidelity mode, in many cases looking better.
Again, it's not really a shock to see that PS5 Pro's beefed up hardware makes this game look and run better, but this is one of our first proper direct comparisons, which is always interesting to see.
The results will of course vary from game to game, so hopefully we get to see more comparisons like this one for other titles as we approach PS5 Pro's November launch.
