All respect to the “GPU Upgrade” I can’t help but feel they added FSR, slapped a $700 sticker on it and called it Pro.
I love that their version of FSR is called pisser
It already had FSR. And $700 is pretty good GPU money. At least on AMD.
I would have hoped for a bit more cpu grunt too.
45% faster is kinda meager considering it’s 4 years newer. Hopefully it’s based on Radeon 7000 series (or maybe 8k) so it’s raytracing is actually useful.
4 years newer and 40% more expensive.
What is FSR?
FSR is AMD’s name for their software upscaling technology. I guess Sony went and wrote their own upscaler because as someone above pointed out PS5 technically already had FSR, but similar to Nvidia DLSS, it’s all the same idea : render a small frame image (like 720/1080) at higher quality detail and use AI to blow the frame up to 4k before it reaches the display.
