The PS5 Pro would be more powerful than expected, nothing has been seen yet

One of the PS5 Pro’s main selling points is that its console-only technology hasn’t yet reached its full potential.

Thanks to its new architecture with a more powerful GPU and more modern technologies, the PS5 Pro is said to be “the console for enthusiasts when it comes to graphics technologies”. The idea on paper is to offer more beautiful and smoother games, especially thanks to PSSR, the upscaling technology invented by Sony and equivalent to NVIDIA DLSS. It is also based on AI and is apparently only in its infancy.

A PS5 Pro that is always up to date thanks to PSSR?

At least that’s what the developers told the expert analysts at Digital Foundry. They analyzed PSSR, the exclusive technology of the PS5 Pro. This basically allows you to display a game at a higher resolution while getting better performance by running everything at a less resource-intensive resolution. In th is sense, PSSR, like DLSS, uses machine learning and artificial intelligence.

Anyone who says artificial intelligence is saying learning so that technology becomes more and more effective. In its analysis of PSSR on PS5 Pro, Digital Foundry tells us and the developers who worked on this technology: “ have noticed significant improvements in PSSR’s performance and rendering quality, and this could be just the beginning “. With training, the AI used by the PSSR of the PS5 Pro is intended to display observed developments in order to ensure increasingly efficient upscaling. What the first test reports revealed up to the publication on November 7th is therefore not a final insight into the performance of the technology .

We can also draw a similar parallel to NVIDIA’s DLSS. This technology is available today in version 3.5 (unfortunately only on RTX 4000) and is now light years ahead of its first draft, both in terms of performance and overall rendering quality. However, does such a “revolution” on consoles for the PS5 Pro justify a ticket at such an unaffordable price of 850 dollars (or 920 including the Blu-Ray player)? The answer depends on each individual’s sensitivity.
