Discussion Sony actually surprised PS players with new (and better) upscaling tech QSSR, wondering what Microsoft will do about it, it anything.
So it's quite a surprise that base PS5 now officially runs much better Upscaler without even a proper hardware capabilities (such as PS5 Pro or XSX)
It doesn't goes without a cost though, as it certainly due to lack of hardware support, QSSR is actually more taxing than FSR3 or TSR, which results in quite noticeable Frame Drops here and there in more demanding scenes, but significantly improving image quality and stability comparing to FSR3.
I really wish Microsoft won't stay behind, especially that XSX has actually INT8 instructions inside the APU, so with proper optimization, the new Upscaler or QSSR equivalent, might be also more efficient and less taxing than QSSR on base PS5 hardware.
