Saros — PS5 & PS5 Pro performance
Technical analysis last updated
Saros ships with a single graphics mode on both consoles — an old-school choice that pays off. Both target a 3840x2160 output with dynamic resolution and both hold 60fps almost perfectly: measured at 99.8% of the frame-rate target, with only single-frame dips in the heaviest particle scenes and rare streaming hitches between procedurally stitched level blocks. On base PS5 the dynamic range runs from roughly 1080p to 1260p, reconstructed with an FSR2-style temporal pass that ghosts on floating debris and swallows some specular detail. PS5 Pro raises the base to roughly 1440p-1620p and uses PSSR 2, which resolves far more high-frequency detail on hair, textures, reflections and effects with much less trailing in motion. The Pro also gets cleaner, more stable reflections and higher-resolution shadow filtering. Both versions are excellent; the Pro is the definitive way to play, but nobody on a base PS5 is getting a compromised game.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5 Pro
One 4K/60 mode done properly: PSSR 2 reconstruction, cleaner reflections and shadows, and a frame-rate target hit 99.8% of the time.
PSSR 2 reconstruction to 4K with a higher base resolution, cleaner reflections and higher-resolution shadows than the base console.
Single mode
PS5 ProUnverifiedHits 4K most of the time thanks to PSSR 2: far more high-frequency detail on hair, debris, reflections and shadows, with much less ghosting than the base console.
Graphics modes on PlayStation 5
A locked 60fps arcade shooter on base hardware; only the softer FSR2-style reconstruction and the single-mode offering hold it back.
Single mode
PS5UnverifiedDynamic resolution between roughly 1080p and 1260p reconstructed to 4K; more ghosting on floating debris and specular elements than the Pro build.
PS5 vs PS5 Pro
Side-by-side comparison of graphics modes, resolution and technical features.
Same single 4K/60 mode on both machines, but PS5 Pro raises the base resolution and swaps the FSR2-style temporal pass for PSSR 2, keeping far more fine detail in motion.
