The PS5 Pro should be more powerful and this should solve a well-known problem present in certain games. Great news for players if everything goes as planned.
The upcoming arrival of the PS5 Pro raises many expectations within the gaming community. According to experts from Digital Foundry, this improved version of Sony's console should offer a 45% increase in the power of its GPU compared to the base model. Thus promising to effectively resolve the problems encountered in games that use dynamic resolution intensively. What do you need to understand?

More power, fewer problems for the PS5 Pro
Dynamic resolution is a technique used in games to adjust image quality in real time. Depending on the performance needed to maintain a stable frame rate. For example, if a game becomes particularly demanding and the console cannot maintain sufficient fluidity, the image resolution will automatically be reduced to lighten the workload on the GPU. And thus preserve the fluidity of the game.
This technology, often implemented to optimize the fluidity of graphics while maintaining good performance, sometimes finds its limits in current PS5 titles. Particularly in performance mode where the image quality may appear degraded. Games like Star Wars Jedi Survivor, Avatar Frontiers of Pandora, and various other games, which exploit resolution scaling aggressively, should benefit significantly from the increased capabilities of the PS5 Pro.
Other additional features
The PlayStation 5 Pro will also introduce features like PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution and Ultra Boost Mode. Which should be available from the launch of the console. These technologies are designed to improve the sharpness and stability of images in games. Especially those that feature a VRR (Variable Refresh Rate) mode. VRR mode allows the console screen to dynamically synchronize its refresh rate with the number of frames per second generated by the game. This helps prevent issues with screen tearing (when the displayed image is not is not synchronized, creating an unpleasant horizontal line) and jerks.
In conclusion, the PlayStation 5 Pro is positioned as a technological response to the challenges posed by the most demanding modern games. By improving GPU performance and integrating advanced technologies like VRR mode, Sony hopes to provide a more immersive gaming experience. And without compromising on visual quality or fluidity. It remains to be seen what will really happen.
