Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth: PS5 Pro vs PS5 – A Vast Improvement At 60FPS
The PlayStation 5 Pro is set to bring significant performance boosts over the base PlayStation 5 console. But what exactly does that entail? While Sony promises more frames per second (fps) and higher resolutions, is the $700 price tag justified?
According to findings by Digital Foundry, the PS5 Pro demonstrates notable improvements, especially when compared to the base console’s performance mode in games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth.
Key improvements highlighted include sharper images, less blurry textures, and reduced ghosting. Comparatively, characters like Barret exhibit more detailed features, while dithering is significantly reduced.
The PS5 Pro addresses the disparity between performance and resolution modes, providing a smooth 4K-like experience even during fast-paced combat scenes in games like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The inclusion of PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) enhances image quality through AI upscaling, resulting in crisper visuals without the need for native 4K rendering.
Despite these advancements, some visual elements such as foliage pop-in and lighting remain similar to the base PS5. The PS5 Pro, priced at $700, boasts enhanced specs and a sleek design but lacks a disc drive and stand.
