PS5 Pro Can Run Games At 1600p-2160p At 60FPS Without Upscaling

Expert Verified By

50% Higher Resolution and Locked 60FPS Over Base PS5!

Story Highlight
  • The PS5 Pro can run games at much higher resolutions than its base counterpart.
  • A leak highlights enhanced graphical settings, a higher resolution, and a steady 60FPS for this console compared to the original hardware.
  • These settings were achieved without PSSR.

 

The PS5 Pro was an open secret for months, but PlayStation recently acknowledged its existence. Following last week’s reveal, the console has received plenty of attention, both good and bad.

An egregious price point aside, consumers have not been too impressed with the actual PS5 Pro presentation since it failed to showcase the new console’s capabilities. However, a leaker has given fans a glimpse of what to expect, stating that the PS5 Pro can hold 60FPS at resolutions as high as 1600p-2160p.

Why it matters: PlayStation’s mid-gen refresh has received criticism for being pointless. This leak shows real-world results that may convince audiences that this is not the case.

The latest details come from Moore’s Law is Dead, a source that has proven quite reliable on PS5 Pro information in the past.

He compares one instance of a game running on the base PS5 and the mid-gen upgrade to highlight a few key differences. For starters, the base console was limited to a dynamic resolution of 1080p-1600p.

Using a mixture of medium and high settings at this resolution, it achieved an unstable 45-60FPS. With the PS5 Pro’s 50% rasterization boost, the same game was able to achieve a dynamic resolution between 1600p and 2160p.

All settings were also up to the maximum, and the console held a steady 60FPS. While this may not be indicative of every game on the upgraded model, it should give fans a solid idea of what to expect.

It is also important to note that one of PlayStation’s key new features, PSSR upscaling, was not used to achieve these results.

PSSR Upscaling Has A Lot of Potential

Elsewhere, Digital Foundry’s John Linneman recently shared his thoughts on Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth running on the new hardware. He comments that the PS5 Pro does a wonderful job and shows a night and day difference.

More testing is still needed to draw further conclusions, but this leak is certainly more encouraging than PlayStation’s lackluster PS5 Pro reveal. The console arrives in November, so fans should expect even more information to show up soon.
