The PS5 Pro could be getting similar tech to AMD’s new version of FSR next year.
AMD released the next generation of their graphics cards, the Radeon RX 9070 and 9070 XT, last week. They’re built around their new RDNA 4 architecture, which includes hardware support for a new version of FidelityFX Super Resolution, called FSR 4.
PlayStation lead console designer Mark Cerny said in an interview with Digital Foundry that Sony and AMD are working to bring that tech, which AMD announced in a post on X, was developed alongside Sony as part of an initiative known as Project Amethyst, to PS5 Pro next year.
The PS5 Pro already has upscaling, known as PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution or PSSR, but integrating it with this new version of FSR could improve its quality significantly, making it closer to Nvidia’s machine learning-based upscaling tech, DLSS.
It’s Not Just About Putting FSR 4 On PS5
One of the biggest differences between FSR 4 and previous versions is that FSR 4 uses hardware-based machine learning for its upscaling to optimize performance, similar to DLSS, unlike previous versions of FSR, which were software-based algorithms that worked on a much...
