The technology, named Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), is described as a "new performance tier of AI upscaling" developed through Sony's Project Amethyst in collaboration with AMD, according to a blog post.</p> <p class="wp-block-paragraph">Sony states that PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR), which is available on the PS5 Pro, "remains the gold standard." Early evaluations from Digital Foundry indicate that QSSR may not perform as quickly as PSSR due to the PS5 lacking dedicated machine learning hardware. Consequently, users can expect an upscaled resolution closer to 1440p on the standard PS5.</p> <p><a href="https://www.theverge.com/games/1003549/sony-ps5-quick-spectral-super-resolution-qssr">Read the full story at The Verge.</a></p>
