Highest Resolution: 2880p
Highest FPS: 60fps
quality: 2880p (5K) at a locked 30fps or around 35fps with VRR. Supersamples down to 2160p (4K) on 4K displays for the sharpest image of any mode on any console.
enhanced: 1584p to 4K PSSR at a nearly locked 60fps or around 70fps with VRR. As sharp as the native PS4 app playing on PS5 with no checkerboard rendering artifacts.
balanced: 4K PSSR at a locked 40fps, or around 55fps with VRR. PSSR used for aliasing, not upscaling. Sharper than enhanced mode but less sharp than quality mode.
performance: 1800p to 4K at a nearly locked 60fps, or around 65fps with VRR. Slightly blurrier than PS4 app on PS5, but has higher detailed LODs/no CBR artifacts.
Compared to PS4, the biggest upgrade is the new sky simulation, which renders more accurate sunlight and darker nights. There's also increased foliage/draw distance (past PC max settings), as well as higher resolution shadows/textures, improved SSR/SSGI and more vibrant general lighting (sub-surface scattering/key lights). PSSR in enhanced mode is noisier in distant assets and foliage can blur when swaying, but looks much better in motion. VRR can be used in all modes and gives Pro's balanced mode the most significant advantage over its base PS5 equivalent.
