This Seeking Tech guide will explain how you can enable PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) on the PS5 Pro version of the Resident Evil 4 Remake.
This feature is only available in the High Frame Rate Mode. In order to turn it on, you need to take the following steps:
Use the following video as a visual aide:
Go to the Title Screen. You won’t be able to change the graphics mode while playing the game.
Next, you need to go to Options.
You should then switch over to the Display tab.
Finally, turn on the High Frame Rate Mode to also enable PSSR.
This tutorial will explain how you can enable or disable PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) in the PlayStation 5 Pro version of Gran Turismo 7.
Use the following video as a reference:
For the first step, head to the main menu in the game. You will need to quit the race if you are in one or go to the World Map screen.
Next, press the Options button on the controller.
Afterwards, select Options.
You then need to select Video Output.
You can then scroll down and select the option called Using PSSR on PlayStation 5 Pro.
Unlike the PlayStation 4 Pro, the PlayStation 5 Pro automatically enables boost mode, also known as game boost. This will allow you to play some PS5 games at a higher resolution and/or better frame rate.
However, you may still need to make some adjustments on games with multiple graphics mode.
In Final Fantasy XVI, for example, the Graphics Mode has a 30 fps cap. While the resolution is boosted, you won’t be able to play beyond the 30 fps limited.
If you change FF15 to Performance Mode, then you will get a resolution and frame rate boost on the PlayStation 5 Pro.
In the Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 3 Remakes, the Boost Mode/Game Boost feature of the PS5 Pro will let you run the games at 60 fps at the Resolution graphics mode with Ray-Tracing enabled.
If you have a 120 Hz television with Variable Refresh Rate, then you can also unlock the 60 fps cap in Marvel’s Spider-Man and Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales. This will let you play at higher frame rates, when compared to the standard PS5, on the PS5 Pro thanks to Boost Mode/Game Boost.
To summarize, Boost Mode/Game Boost is automatically enabled on the PlayStation 5 Pro. Games with dynamic resolution and variable frame rate should benefit, although you may need to change some in-game settings.
This video compares the Final Fantasy VI Pixel Remaster opera scene running in two different modes on the PlayStation 5 Pro.
You can find the reference video below:
The regular PS4 version is running with the “Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games” setting set to disabled.
The PS5 Pro version has the “Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games” setting set to enabled.
The image quality is slightly sharper with “Enhance Image Quality for PS4 Games” turned on. It is really hard to tell a difference if you are looking at the character sprites. The enhancements are clearer in texts and some of the 3D background from the opera scene.
This Seeking Tech article showcases the frames per second for the PS5 Pro Mode, with the frame rate unlocked, of The Last of Us Part 1. It contains several combat scenarios across various environments.
You can find the video below:
The footages were taken off-screen from a LG B4 OLED with the Google Pixel 6 camera.
For the most part, the game is able to stay comfortably above 60 FPS in Pro Mode. It only dropped below 48 FPS a few times for a second (the B4’s FPS tracker will show it as 120 FPS) before getting above the 60 FPS again.
Overall, the game should stay above 60 frame per second most of the time even in high stress situations.
