Disclaimer: PSSR2 was added in July 2026. You can therefore safely disregard any Pro analysis conducted before then that hasn't been updated with PSSR2 testing.
Pro can use TAA or PSSR2 to upscale to 4K. With TAA, Pro's DRS is 1260p-1800p, but is usually around 1620p and only falls to the lower range in more open arenas. PSSR2's internal res is approx 15% lower. However, it still resolves a sharper, cleaner (especially fine detail like particles), and more stable image. All improved further when in motion. PSSR2 also better minimizes VRS's blocky parts, so don't use TAA.
Base PS5 can only use TAA, has a lower DRS of 1008p-1440p (usually around 1080p), and has worse draw distance and anisotropic filtering. This results in a softer, overall worse image quality compared to Pro. Both consoles however have the same RTGI quality, and after many updates, have a basically locked 60fps (brief 1-2fps dips, mostly during glory kills/open arenas).
