Sony PlayStation 5 Pro is official with improved graphics and performance

September 11, 2024

Sony has officially announced the PlayStation 5 Pro, an enhanced version of the PS5, which was originally launched in 2020. The new PS5 Pro now has an improved graphical performance and so much more! In this article, we will discuss everything about the latest Sony PlayStation 5 Pro, including its expected price in Nepal.

Sony PlayStation 5 Pro Overview

Design and GPU

Visually, the PS5 Pro is slightly taller than the PS5 slim model but retains the same thickness as the PS5 digital edition. The PS5 Pro features an upgraded GPU with 67% more compute units and 28% faster memory compared to the standard PS5. This improvement allows the console to render games 45% faster.

Performance and Storage

In addition to the GPU upgrade, the PS5 Pro enhances hardware-accelerated ray tracing. The increase in compute units allows for double or triple the ray tracing performance of the original PS5. This improvement will result in more accurate lighting and reflections in supported games.

The console comes with 2TB of internal storage, double that of the standard PS5. However, the optical disc drive must be purchased separately.

AI-Powered Image Upscaling

Sony has introduced a new AI-driven image upscaling technology called PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution. This feature uses AI to upscale lower-resolution images. Moreover, the upscaling is expected to deliver better results than the current software-based solutions, such as AMD’s FSR.

Game Boost and Additional Features

The PS5 Pro aims to offer 60 FPS with high-quality visuals to eliminate the need for these toggles, balancing both performance and graphical fidelity.

The new console includes a PS5 Pro Game Boost feature that can enhance the resolution and frame rates of over 8,500 PS4 titles. Additionally, the console supports Wi-Fi 7, VRR, and 8K displays where available.
