Sony's Quick Spectral Super Resolution aims to enhance PS5 visuals through AI upscaling, despite hardware limitations.
Sony is integrating a new AI-driven upscaling technology into its standard PlayStation 5 consoles, as reported by The Verge. Named Quick Spectral Super Resolution (QSSR), this feature emerges from Sony’s collaboration with AMD under “Project Amethyst.” While this provides an opportunity for enhanced visual performance, it’s important to note that the PS5 lacks dedicated machine learning silicon, which means that the results might not match the performance of the PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution (PSSR) available on the PS5 Pro. Users can expect an upscale closer to 1440p resolution rather than the expected 4K, but any improvement is likely to be welcomed by gamers eager to see what advancements can be achieved with existing hardware.
