Ditch Your PS5 Slim, PlayStation 5 Pro at New Record Low If You Want to Play at Pro Level - Kotaku

"Sony extended Cyber Monday deals by a few extra days with discounts still active on the PS5 Pro, DualSense controllers, and PS VR headsets. If you want the ultimate PlayStation experience with Sony's most powerful console, this is it, currently sitting at $648 instead of the usual $749 in a record low deal. This pricing matters because the performance gap between the Pro and the standard PS5 Slim becomes impossible to ignore once you see games running at their maximum potential."

"The PS5 Pro has a GPU with 67% more compute units than the standard PS5 Slim, and it means that you get higher frame rates and more detailed graphics without having to change the quality settings. The PS5 Slim can only run games at 30 frames per second in fidelity mode, but the Pro can run them at 60 frames per second while keeping the same visual quality which means you don't have to choose between smooth gameplay and beautiful graphics."

"PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution uses machine learning to make lower-resolution images look almost like 4K: This is similar to how NVIDIA's DLSS or AMD's FSR work on PC graphics cards. The AI algorithm looks at each frame and adds detail that wasn't there in the original render and makes the images sharper while keeping the frame rate high. This technology lets games render at 1440p or 1800p inside and output at 4K with clarity that rivals native 4K rendering. It also keeps the performance headroom needed for 60fps or higher refresh rates."

Sony extended Cyber Monday discounts on PlayStation hardware, including a record-low $648 price for the PS5 Pro. The PS5 Pro features a GPU with 67% more compute units than the PS5 Slim, enabling higher frame rates and more detailed graphics without changing quality settings. The Pro can maintain fidelity-quality visuals at 60 fps where the Slim is limited to 30 fps, improving performance in demanding titles like Spider-Man 2 and Horizon Forbidden West. PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution uses machine learning to upscale internal 1440p or 1800p renders to near-4K clarity while preserving high frame rates and performance headroom. DualSense controllers and PS VR headsets are also discounted.
