@OldGamer999 Well, having switched to PC from XSX and PS5, I can tell you that AI enabled upscaling is really, really good!
So, PSSR will make it will look a lot cleaner on your TV since it will be imperceptible from running at native resolution when being passed to your TV and won’t have the typical upscaling softness associated with TV upscaling.
But, agreed, it’s an incredibly expensive upgrade for such a small benefit.
I scoffed at the idea of using DLSS when I first got it (I’d just dial back some settings to achieve at least 60fps at native resolution), but I use it all the time now if it means being able to run at significantly higher visual settings and/or framerate beyond consoles – heck even for games that run above 60fps at native resolution I will still use it. Just for reference, my GPU is a 4070 Super (so kind of upper-mid Tier class card)
My monitor is G-sync 1440p/165Hz, so even “Quality” DLSS is sub 1080p internally, but I still notice more details on games on my PC than I do on my 4K TV (Lords of the Fallen looks absolutely insane on PC compared to PS5 – and runs at like 80-90fps with DLSS Quality mode and Ultra settings – with no Frame Generation).
Things like Nivida Reflex help too as games like Wukong that rely on Frame Generation from like internal 40-ish fps still feel perfectly fine with a Gamepad. I don’t play competitive games, so playing with a Gamepad is perfectly fine for me.
I can play Alan Wake 2 completely cranked up with DLSS Balanced and Frame Generation and get like 60 – 70 fps in the Cauldron Lake area (heaviest part of game) and well above 80 fps in other areas and it feels no different than playing on the Series X from a controller response perspective.
I hate to use the PC as a comparison, but since the Pro does have DLSS/XeSS-like features with AI, it is worth noting just how powerful the technology can be (even though the Nvidia 4070 Super is technically a 35 TFLOP GPU and the PS5 Pro being 45% faster means it’s about 15TFLOPs…as if TFLOPS even matter anymore with the birth of AI being used to assist with image quality).
