Sony hasn\u2019t come out and revealed exactly what generation of graphics it&#8217;s going to be using, so for all we know, it\u2019s still using the RDNA 2 architecture found in the original PS5. After all, if it was using a newer architecture, the \u201847% increase\u2019 in compute units would mean an absolutely monumental lift in performance if it was running on the yet-to-be-revealed RDNA 4 architecture that AMD\u2019s next <a class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/best-graphics-card\">graphics cards<\/a> will be based on. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Yet, there is bespoke hardware in the PS5 Pro, allowing it to use PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution), an AI upscaling engine that sounds an awful lot like Nvidia\u2019s <a class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/what-is-nvidia-dlss-meaning\">DLSS<\/a> (Deep Learning Super Sampling). AMD has yet to update FSR (FidelityFX Super Resolution) to use the machine learning hardware built into RDNA 3 graphics cards, but that could very well change when the Radeon RX 8000-series is revealed \u2013 whenever that will be. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\" data-cy=\"article-slideshow\"><button type=\"button\" style=\"display:none\" class=\"jsx-2228525885\"\/><\/p>\n<div data-cy=\"slideshow-view-trigger\">\n<div class=\"jsx-2569068517 slideshow-preview\">\n<h3 class=\"title5 jsx-569795787\">PS5 Pro Reveal Event<\/h3>\n<div class=\"jsx-2569068517 images-container\"><button type=\"button\" aria-label=\"Open Slideshow\" class=\"jsx-2569068517 hero-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/09\/10\/screenshot-957-1725980911769.png?width=888&amp;crop=16%3A9&amp;quality=20&amp;dpr=0.05\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image jsx-1049729975 image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-16-9 jsx-3398679358 hover-opacity loading\"\/><span class=\"jsx-1603570557 button button--primary jsx-1497807629 row-pagination-button next contained centered round large\" data-cy=\"paginate next\" title=\"Open Slideshow\"\/><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title2 jsx-2073248090\">What Is PSSR?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">PSSR is Sony and AMD\u2019s solution for AI upscaling for the PS5 Pro \u2013 and likely the PS6 if it\u2019s successful. Beyond the fact that it uses machine learning tech to upscale games better than the traditional checkerboard rendering pioneered by the <a class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/playstation-4-pro\">PS4 Pro<\/a>, Sony hasn\u2019t revealed much. Luckily, we can speculate based on existing AI upscaling tech, namely DLSS. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">DLSS, or Deep Learning Super Sampling, is the upscaling tech for Nvidia\u2019s last few generations of GPUs \u2013 dating back to the <a class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/2018\/09\/19\/nvidia-geforce-rtx-2080-ti-founders-edition-review-and-benchmarks\">RTX 2080<\/a> in 2018. Essentially, it works by taking data from previously rendered frames, the current frame, and motion information, and plugging it into a neural network. This allows the model to calculate both what the image will look like, and avoids inaccuracies as a result of unpredictable movement. The DLSS model then uses the output to produce a higher resolution image. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">The neural network for DLSS is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nvidia.com\/en-us\/data-center\/tensor-cores\/\" class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Tensor Cores<\/a> in Nvidia graphics cards, which are trained by a supercomputer back at Nvidia HQ. Back in the day, this supercomputer had to be individually trained for each game that would support DLSS, slowing down adoption. Over time, though, DLSS 2.0 and 3.0 allowed for any game to implement DLSS, as long as the developer drops a file into the source code of the game. <\/p>\n<div catalogid=\"d1213a9c-1e5f-4c96-9134-82f5e1cc4df1\" id=\"207768\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"207768\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__PrpAX\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-1331596054 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__n8bRK\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__iWnCi\"><span title=\"PlayStation 5 Pro Console\" class=\"jsx-4143518889 product-image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"PlayStation 5 Pro Console\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/09\/25\/ps5-pro-box-1727283339575.png?width=220&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=20&amp;dpr=0.05\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image jsx-3943214534 expand loading\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"product-badge jsx-3106481572\">\n<p>Preorders Start October 10<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-1096646909 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">PlayStation 5 Pro Console<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"jsx-1603570557 button jsx-3028112403 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__Ao9BL centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\"><\/p>\n<p>10<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Take this with a grain of salt, but it\u2019s likely Nvidia was able to move to a more general model because of the vast amount of training data it received, making the model able to learn off of more general visual data. That\u2019s why Sony will probably be able to skip Nvidia\u2019s early step and make PSSR generally available to any game developer that wants to use it. The company has likely been gathering training data for the entire generation, as it controls the PS5 platform \u2013 an advantage Nvidia doesn\u2019t have. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">It\u2019s unlikely that PSSR will work exactly like DLSS, but it\u2019s a tried and tested approach to AI upscaling, and the one that I think is most likely. Again, this is all speculation, so take it with a grain of salt. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/01\/31\/rtx-4080-super-2-1706665676405.jpg\" class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-722397770\"><span><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"null\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/01\/31\/rtx-4080-super-2-1706665676405.jpg?width=1280&amp;fit=bounds&amp;height=720&amp;quality=20&amp;dpr=0.05\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-3943214534 loading\"\/><\/span><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title2 jsx-2073248090\">Why Is AI Upscaling important?<\/h2>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">It\u2019s no secret that the graphics in AAA games are getting more complex over time, requiring more and more horsepower to render efficiently. Love it or hate it, this trend is basically guaranteed to continue. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">There are two ways to keep up with the compute demands of modern games right now. The most straightforward way is to build bigger and bigger GPUs and try to brute force your way through. This was the standard approach for years, and is why previous generation consoles one-upped one another on the size of their GPU alone. However, anyone that\u2019s kept an eye on PC gaming will be able to tell you the price of <a class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/best-graphics-card\">graphics cards<\/a> has gone up significantly over the last few years. That might come off as a problem only for PC gamers, but it\u2019s not. Companies like Sony are going to have to pay AMD more for its GPUs, just like anyone else. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Simply launching a PS5 Pro that\u2019s able to render games at a native 4K resolution with all the eye candy we love would cost over a thousand dollars, there\u2019s no way around that. Instead, Sony basically took the same approach it did with the PS4 Pro. Put in a slightly different GPU, but couple it with a new upscaling engine that can approximate 4K. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">By going the AI route with PSSR, Sony can virtually eliminate artifacts that can show up when upscaling games from a lower resolution. It\u2019s able to produce an image that looks virtually the same as native 4K, but at a much higher frame rate than otherwise. The cool part is that it\u2019s scalable. Developers can work in <a class=\"jsx-955973305 underlined\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/what-is-ray-tracing\">ray traced<\/a> eye candy to their heart\u2019s content, and then just use a more aggressive version of PSSR. That means they can upscale to 4K from as low as 720p, and it\u2019ll still look decent. Though, to be clear, rendering at that low of a resolution will produce a lackluster image, no matter how much AI you throw at it. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2808653156\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"title2 jsx-2073248090\">AMD Needs AI Upscaling<\/h2>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Pretty much every graphics card on the market has access to some kind of upscaling technology. Since 2021, AMD\u2019s graphics cards have been relying on FSR, or FidelityFX Super Resolution. This tech is extremely similar to DLSS and PSSR in that it uses data from previous frames, combined with motion data to calculate a higher resolution image. The difference is that this calculation is done natively on the GPU itself and isn\u2019t using dedicated neural hardware to calculate it. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Regardless, FSR <em>does work<\/em>, although it\u2019s a bit less accurate and efficient than DLSS. However, FSR can be used by any hardware, rather than being locked down to a few generations of graphics cards like DLSS is. However, as games become more demanding, the need for AMD GPUs to adopt some form of AI upscaling is growing on an almost daily basis. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Luckily, AMD isn\u2019t far off. After all, every AMD Radeon RX 7000 series card already has dedicated AI hardware, with 2 AI accelerators in each compute unit. These AI Accelerators aren\u2019t being used for FSR, and instead are being used for more <em>serious<\/em> AI applications like large language models or image generation. But, the AI Accelerators are <em>right there<\/em> and it\u2019s only a matter of time before they\u2019re used for gaming in one way or another. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div catalogid=\"bdeb0753-832f-4e98-8eb2-9ec7b457b500\" id=\"197070\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\">\n<div data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\">\n<div id=\"197070\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__PrpAX\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-1331596054 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__n8bRK\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__iWnCi\"><span title=\"Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 7600 OC\" class=\"jsx-4143518889 product-image aspect-ratio aspect-ratio-1-1\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 7600 OC\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2024\/03\/04\/gigabyte-amd-radeon-rx-7600-oc-1709580248628.jpg?width=220&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=20&amp;dpr=0.05\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image jsx-3943214534 expand loading\"\/><\/span><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-1096646909 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 7600 OC<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"jsx-1603570557 button jsx-3028112403 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__Ao9BL centered disabled\" disabled=\"\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\"><\/p>\n<p>1<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"description SoloProduct_description__Zf__4\">\n<div class=\"article jsx-3665594121 small\">\n<p>The AMD Radeon RX 7600 is awesome if you just want to play games at 1080p and don&#8217;t care about any extra bells and whistles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">As we get closer to RDNA 4 later this year or in 2025, it\u2019s becoming more likely that AMD will wait to update FSR to use AI accelerators until the new hardware launches. After all, we know the dedicated upscaling technology used in the PS5 Pro is being co-engineered with AMD, and I would be shocked if Team Red didn\u2019t work some of that magic juice into its upcoming graphics cards. <\/p>\n<p class=\"jsx-3649800006 \">Nothing is really known about what the AMD Radeon RX 8000-series will look like, but there\u2019s no way AMD <em>doesn\u2019t <\/em>work some kind of next-generation AI accelerators into the GPU. The real trick will be to actually use them for gaming this time around.
