Extra Information

Pro can toggle between PSSR and FSR for upscaling. FSR is less noisy and more 4K like in stills. PSSR looks sharper in motion with less artifacting. Differences are less obvious in quality mode as base resolution is 1224p (others look relatively soft regardless as 864p to 4K is a big jump). There's no RT on base PS5 and Pro's quality mode also has higher quality shadows, volumetric lighting and fog. All Pro modes have a more stable framerate than their base PS5 equivalent.
