Performance mode has less, more static foliage (at close distances) and lower quality (and therefore less realistic) UE5 Lumen/Virtual Shadow Maps. The lower internal resolution also leads to noticeably softer/less stable image. Base PS5 has slightly worse internal resolutions compared to the equivalent mode on Pro, which leads to more instability/breakup - especially in performance mode. However, the PSSR implementation leads to more instability/strobing in the UE5 lighting compared to base PS5. Framerate stability is roughly the same between consoles. Issues like PSSR implementation should hopefully be fixed in a future patch as ToW2 is coming in very hot on PlayStation (it was a Xbox console exclusive for much its development).
