Lies of P — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Lies of P on PS5 provides three distinct graphics options: Quality (30fps), Balanced (40fps via 120Hz container), and Performance (60fps). While Quality mode delivers a pristine native 4K image, both the 30fps and 40fps modes suffer from erratic frame-pacing. Performance mode scales internal resolution down to 1512p-1800p and pares back some shading and fog effects, but locked 60fps gameplay delivers crucial input responsiveness for timing parries and dodges.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
Lies of P performs exceptionally well on PS5, with Performance Mode locking to 60fps at dynamic 1512p-1800p resolutions. Quality modes offer native 4K visuals or dynamic 1872p-4K at 40fps, but both are marred by noticeable frame-pacing stutter. Performance Mode is the strongly recommended configuration.
Performance Mode
PS5UnverifiedInternal resolution ranges between 1512p and 1800p upscaled via TAA. Ambient occlusion, indirect shading, volumetric fog, and SSR quality are reduced compared to Quality mode.
Quality Mode
PS5UnverifiedRuns at native 4K (3840x2160) without dynamic resolution scaling drops detected. Features higher quality ambient occlusion, indirect shadow bounce, and volumetric fog.
High Frame Rate Quality Mode
PS5UnverifiedMaintains quality visual settings, but internal resolution drops dynamically between 1872p and native 4K as GPU load increases.
PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
A side-by-side comparison requires verified graphics-mode data on both PS5 and PS5 Pro. It appears here as soon as both versions are analysed.
Known issues
Both 30fps Quality mode and 40fps High Frame Rate mode suffer from erratic frame ordering and uneven frame-pacing, resulting in choppy camera motion despite reaching target frame rates.
In 60fps Performance Mode, physics-based object interactions (e.g., flags) and distant enemy animations run at half rate (30fps).
