Digital Foundry: "PS5 Pro's New PSSR System Override Is Just As Good As We Hoped"

Going to be huge for GTA VI and all the aggressive upscaling that will likely require.

Exxon21@reddit

for the Pro specifically, i'd be more worried about a potential CPU bottleneck. the GPU got massively upgraded, but the CPU barely changed from the standard PS5.

[-]

The only reason I'm not expecting a CPU bottleneck necessarily is that I strongly believe the night club and beach scenes from the trailer aren't anywhere close to realistic gameplay targets. And those two specifically will be cutscenes in the game if they look anything like the trailer.

[-]

Strazdas1@reddit

It will just be the typical case of gimped cutout version for initial release, full version for next gen consoles, fixed released for PC. Three purchases for people with no patience.

I’m not worried. I’m sure the regular ps5 will be able to do 1080p 60. That’s not a big ask these days. Apply pssr on it, and it’s 4k60.

Probably just reduce the amount of npc and some features on the console version

[-]

Appropriate_Ad8734@reddit

how does that compare to the USSR? is that an actual improvement or just marketing hype

[-]

hackenclaw@reddit

Unified Spectral Super Resolution... hmm some kind of opensource version that work on all Architecture?

[-]

mecha_monk@reddit

OUR architecture, comrade.

joeyat@reddit

We’re back in the PSSR… you don’t know how lucky you are..

[-]

TheHoratioHufnagel@reddit

Believe the hype, PSSR compares favorably to the failed communist state.

[-]

work-school-account@reddit

Relevant unrecognized state

IcyConsequence9107@reddit

He he. Funny typo.

[-]

pomyuo@reddit

I looked into the article, supposedly big PSSR is improved over little PSSR

It seems like the FSR4 on RDNA2/3 debacle is probably due to Sony gatekeeping it. This has been speculated on r/radeon.

This is not the first time Sony has done anti-consumer stuff like this, for example the crossplay fortnite issue, helldivers PSN account issue, a literal anti-compete lawsuit, and now pulling games from PC it's clearly obvious this is Sony pulling the strings.

[-]

Your-Paramour@reddit

Source for that claim?

[-]

angry_RL_player@reddit

logical deduction

[-]

LAwLzaWU1A@reddit

Is that logical deduction by any chance "AMD can do no wrong, so it must be someone else forcing them!"?

[-]

Ass

Darkknight1939@reddit

AMD sycophants on Reddit are an actual cult, lmao.

[-]

pythonic_dude@reddit

It's even scarier once you realize that given radeon market share, an abnormally large number of us radeon users are on reddit.

[-]

JakeTappersCat@reddit

Damn the Sony fans piled on you for telling the truth (that Sony is very anti-consumer and if they told AMD hold back on releasing FSR4 for RDNA3, they would)

Sony is AMD's most important customer. If they want AMD not not release this for RDNA 3 (which makes Sony's product look better in comparison to PC) AMD has not choice but to accept

[-]

unapologetic-tur@reddit

Sony's custom chip straight up has far more INT8 capability than RDNA 2/3. PSSR runs on INT8. It just wasn't meant to be.

[-]

ryanvsrobots@reddit

AMD has complete agency over how they run their business.

[-]

FrequentX@reddit

What?! No

AMD has talked about this several times at CES

There's even an interview with AMD's VP at CES It was very clear that AMD doesn't want to invest resources in supporting previous-generation hardware at the moment

But he spoke of maybe exploring a beta version

PSSR has the same roots as FSR 4 but it's a different tech Just Like Apple's MetalFx is based on FSR

And FSR 4 will be open source in the future too, in fact it was a few months ago but it was an accident and they took it out again

[-]

hasanahmad@reddit

I’ll wait for Daniel Owen’s second opinion

[-]

thunder6776@reddit

He knows very little though, it shows every-time he speaks that he is just a school teacher.

[-]

Jonny_H@reddit

"Lower Kowledge but Earnest" vs "Lots of Knowledge, but it's all from company press releases" is an annoying choice.

[-]

DavidsSymphony@reddit

Reducing Digital Foundry to that when their tech analysis are second to none is insane. If you talk to anybody in the industry you'll know how highly they are regarded. And even if you don't like how they present things, you can take your own conclusions from the tech analysis, which again, nobody else even comes close to replicate.

[-]

kekmanofthekeks@reddit

That is literally what they are though. Their opinion or expertise is only a tad better than random hardware dudes on reddit.

Simply put they don't add anything to an analysis a layman couldn't do given enough time. They have no real expertise.

[-]

DavidsSymphony@reddit

We literally just had 2 members of the DF completely disagree about their 2 colleagues who covered DLSS 5, one of them having a meltdown on social media about it, the other rationally explaining why he hates it on video. What the fuck are you even talking about.
