I’m disappointed that the improved performance seems to be tied to AI upscaling. Given how much more powerful the PS5 Pro is supposed to be, I was hoping we’d just get Graphics Mode at 60fps, with no post-processing fudgery.

It’s been several years now, and I’ve seen several generations of AI upscaling (DLSS and FSR). I remain unimpressed with the concept on the whole. Just give me native resolution with decent antialiasing. Please. I’ll take a clean 1080 of 1440 image over weird 4K AI artifacts any day.

I still think the original performance mode was much, much worse than it needed to be on the original PS5 hardware. They made some strange decisions with postprocessing. There’s no technical reason it needed to be so blurry. It’s not even a matter of resolution; it looks bad even at 1080p.
