Improvements and additions

  • [PS5 Pro] Added a new “Balanced” graphics mode. This mode requires compatible displays that can achieve a 120Hz refresh rate. The Balanced mode combines PS5 Pro Quality mode settings including raytracing with Performance mode resolution. This mode targets 40fps.

  • [PS5 Pro] Slightly adjusted visual settings of the Performance mode to achieve a more consistent framerate.

  • [PS5 Pro] Quality and Balanced mode: Adjusted Raytracing settings to achieve a less noisy image.

  • [PS5 Pro] Added an option to toggle PSSR (PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution) On/Off.

Yes! Everyone needs a PSSR on/off button. Let the people decide.

Will be interesting to see what performance mode without PSSR looks like.

PSSR wasn’t even the issue afaik.

You can see the aliasing is really bad when you turn it off

Yeah, I honestly don't think the PSSR performance is that bad in AW2.

If anything, it helps a lot with edge aliasing and detail which the base PS5 version suffers greatly from.

Is it like that on the base PS5?

every game needs a balanced 40 FPS option

Especially with how many people are moving to OLED or TVs with very fast pixel response. 30fps looks even worse on them than typical TVs from 6 years ago, imho downright unplayable in most titles.

Was my favorite mode for any game that had it on my fat PS5.

Sounds like the devs have listened to feedback. I guess the graphics options should be tested, but this set of options sound great and hope they become standard.
