@MemuAccount You just think wrong. A truly quality upscaler would certainly mean that image quality would be sufficient at a much lower render resolution and settings to reach 60FPS on this game.
Of course this resolution and setting reduction could be quite low, such like Alan Wake 2 needs to reach 60FPS on PS5 Pro. However the end result can still be very good IF the AI upscaler is very good, such as FSR4 and DLSS. This game needs 60FPS to appreciate it fully. The fact Sony do not have a good AI upscaler while touting the capability of PS5 Pro hardware to enable the possibility is a failure. It is something that should have been addressed with hard work on the software. Let's hope 2026 resolves these issues.
If Sony had a really good working AI upscaling solution PS5 Pro would be massively better off. The failure of PSSR with most implementations and developers hurts the potential of the hardware to deliver the kind of performance improvements that were touted. All you get here is a bit more resolution and the same mediocre TAA upscaling as the other consoles. That's it. The gap between the Pro and what a midrange Nvidia card can do because of DLSS and frame gen is significant. This is THE game where high framerates above 60FPS contribute enormously to the experience. It might have been possible with a refined upscaler on Pro. Sony really should be working hard on a possible PSSR2 and get it onto the playing board for devs in 2026.
You would think they might have tried a little harder with the GPU. The thing is supposed to be semi custom isn't it? People go to AMD because they have all the parts you can knock together, they have the best custom silicon team after years of console and NUC experience. I wouldn't expect a high end machine, because that was always the preserve of the PC market. However it seems like a missed opportunity to have something with 10/12GB of video memory at a minimum. Where's the 3GB GDDR7 memory modules for example? It seems a perfect fit for a machine like this.
