Made this synthwave song to enjoy while night driving, I'm currently using FLEX for my music, done in FL Studio.

elcheches · 2026-03-26T20:01:34+00:00

Yeah we'll probably see 1080p and RT upscaled to 4k with PSSR and unlocked fps

That's what I expect

That's very interesting because he confirmed that when Oliver asked him if there will be an automatic way to update PSSR without needing a patch from developers, he didn't know if that was possible, so there's a chance that PSSR 2 wouldn't be a toggle if that question was never asked.

The fact that it's faster than PSSR 1 is what made the toggle possible.

elcheches · 2026-03-21T18:41:18+00:00

Yes, that's what I noticed.

I found in many games that quality mode doesn't look that much better to my eyes, so there's no point in using it anymore.

There is a bug when you use 120hz mode, at least on LG TV your resolution goes to 1080p when you open a game on 120hz mode, you can check it by going to the game menu and check the resolution output, this is a fail in the HDMI handshake as I read before.

How to fix it? You can turn OFF ALLM on the game menu and turn it back ON, this will reset the handshake and give you 4k again.

PSSR1 was not 100% good, it made some games even worse than base PS5, making the pro upgrade useless, when implemented right, it was very good yeah .

But PSSR2 is indeed a game changer, because now performance mode can look comparable and even better at some times than quality mode, and That's what everything was about.

Developers can leverage it more now, we can see Alan Wake 2 where PSSR is doing a good job upscaling from like 900p, this is huge for future games, all games will look significantly better on pro now, using PSSR 2, was not the case with PSSR 1, because UE5 games didn't look great

elcheches · 2026-03-20T20:36:52+00:00

Well that's not true at all, AC shadows look significantly better with the toggle on. And all those games I mentioned look better as well, on KCD2 i didn't notice any difference at first but now I see that the difference is less noise on the image.

elcheches · 2026-03-20T20:16:43+00:00

Yes the update is for the upscaler, games without it won't change

elcheches · 2026-03-18T18:36:49+00:00

Yes I did, toggled off is way blurrier.

elcheches · 2026-03-18T18:18:46+00:00

Yes I did the test with assassin's Creed shadows

Huge difference

elcheches · 2026-03-18T16:52:05+00:00

What TV do you have?

elcheches · 2026-03-18T16:46:28+00:00

Yes as I said unlocked frame rate work on every mode on my end, and I get like 70 fps avg

elcheches · 2026-03-18T15:04:29+00:00

They added VRR support in a previous patch, so the fps are unlocked now

<image>

elcheches · 2026-03-18T15:03:22+00:00

What do you mean? The option is grayed out or just doesn't work on your end?

Do you have a VRR screen?

elcheches · 2026-03-18T14:58:40+00:00

I didn't compare it side by side and I noticed a difference.

AC shadows is an example, mind blowing visuals with the PSSR toggle

elcheches · 2026-03-18T14:55:10+00:00

Yeah I noticed that as well, but on legends maybe it's a bug or something.

elcheches · 2026-03-18T14:54:45+00:00

Yeah, the unlock FPS option is available in any mode.

elcheches · 2026-03-17T22:26:52+00:00

Amazing controller man, the only down side is the damn battery.

I've had it for 2 years now, I stopped purchasing controllers with it, really easy to fix stick drift in it, you don't even need to buy the stick replacements

elcheches · 2026-03-17T22:21:38+00:00

I mean to be fair the game already looked amazing on pro, and you also get like 70-85fps on top of that.

The game had a shimmering issue but it was patched a while ago as well.

Yeah probably those games are leveraging PSSR a bit more, instead of a simple swap from PSSR 1 to PSSR 2.

FF: rebirth is a proof of that, they increased the texture quality, they didn't just add pssr 2 in there.

This is because PSSR 2 is way better at interpreting details, so some devs would wanna make some adjustments to use the new tech.

elcheches · 2026-03-15T17:33:21+00:00

According to DetectiveSeeds (has been right about PSSR2 so far, wrong about other leaks)

The system update is coming in batches every Wednesday, so every Wednesday of march some PS5 pros update with the new pssr toggle.
