AI upscaling continues to be a huge part of the modern graphics pipeline, and while PSSR brought this tech to the PS5 Pro, the base PS5 was left without it due to its weaker GPU. That’s been remedied, though, with QSSR.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a>, Sony detailed a new upscaling model that runs on its base console, called Quick Spectral Super Resolution, or QSSR. Just like the PSSR that debuted earlier this year on the PS5 Pro, QSSR was born from the Project Amethyst collaboration with AMD that kicked off last year. <\/p>\n

The new model is much more lightweight than PSSR, and so it won’t be quite as good at maintaining detail as PSSR is on the PS5 Pro, but it should be much more accurate than the temporal upscaling traditionally used on the console. <\/p>\n

QSSR debuts in Marvel’s Wolverine and Ghost of Yotei, and the respective developers seem pretty enthused about working the technology into their games. Sony’s blog quotes Insomniac Head of Technology Mike Fitzgerald, who says “QSSR adds more pixel-level clarity and stability to our environments, bringing out extra detail amidst the busy streets of Madripoor, the dense alleyways of Shinjuku, and many other areas across Logan\u2019s epic journey. It\u2019s a perfect companion to the launch of Marvel\u2019s Wolverine, and it brings a great taste of the PS5 Pro experience to our players on PS5.”<\/p>\n

Likewise, Jasmin Patry, the Lead Rendering Engineer at Sucker Punch, said: \u201cAt Sucker Punch, we\u2019re excited to bring QSSR to Ghost of Y\u014dtei players so that they can experience the world we\u2019ve created with even more clarity and detail. QSSR excels at resolving the fine details in our characters and environments and does so with a level of temporal stability that hasn\u2019t been possible on the PS5 console until now. We\u2019ve long wished that all PS5 players could experience the incredible image quality that PSSR brings to PS5 Pro, and QSSR is a positive step towards that goal!\u201d<\/p>\n

Do you care about AI performance in your gaming PC if it’s not used for upscaling?<\/h2>\n
