It's really hard to describe, but in games that do not have a PlayStation five pro patch it enhances them by stabilizing the frames, cleaning up a lot of the artifacts and slowdowns that were present before they're no longer there the image and everything is just completely clean. MK one for example is getting a patch, but I played it before the patch and after the new system, there's no frame drops, slow downs or weird stuttering. Everything is just more solid. Of course it'll only get better once they patch it.
Stellar Blade is MUCH more cleaner with patch. I also noticed the details, obviously because of the pro patch but the game runs solid and very fluid. It's like a completely different game. I normally played game in 4K, but I had to drop down to performance mode on the original PS5 and it looked a little grainy, even with the 4K option on and you sit still and look into the distance. There was strange type of grain/artifacts. All that is completely gone now with Pro/Patched. The high frame and the good graphics are basically combining into one down. Even an option to play 120 Hz. (if into that)
After the PS five pro patch games are a completely different animal, night and day. Crystal clear fluid higher frame rate and the resolution is just incredible. Everything is much more cleaner, no artifacts or weird strange noise in the background. It's just clean it almost wants you to get closer to the television. Of course the bigger TV is really benefited from at the most I would say 60 and up. (I have a 82)
As for the non-PlayStation 5 pro has games they just run more smoothly, load quicker, no studder, and overall everything is just solid. It's really hard to explain now I know what some people were talking about saying that it's very hard to describe. It's one of those things you have to have inside your house. He won't really notice a lot of of the details on a standard YouTube video or small handheld cell phone. You have to have the unit in your home. If I'm not mistaken, PlayStation five pro enhancements now after it's released was encouraged and should be simple for the developers to turn on as the games being made.
Either way i'd recommended it, very happy with it. It feels like this should've been the unit that came out originally back with the original PS five released. The lighting and reflection is far more noticeable like at least 2 to 3 times more detail. It's in your face versus before barely noticeable now it's just there and it looks really good when you see it in movement. Now some people may think is that worth it? Yes because between graphics, reflections, and real time light and animations and everything included and games nowadays when everything is performing on equal level, the experience is better.
Games that are not patched seemed to run at a higher or more stable frame rate, which is something you physically notice. I tried devil may cry for the PlayStation five reflections look the same just more smoother. Not as real looking since its a release game when the Pro model wasn't available.
Games that take advantage of the more realistic reflections and better lighting have to be patched, but luckily the game ends up being more smoother feeling, frame drops are no longer a thing. Either way, old game would perform better. It also has an option to boost older games going all the way back to the PlayStation 4. I haven't tried it since I don't have any PS4 games, but from what I've read, it's sharpens and cleans up a lot of the images even on games that were not patched.
I'll give you a tip with the 120 Hz. Sony does not have a full high speed. It's cap the 32 something they can possibly unlock later in the future. HDR data never output full in a game that runs at 120hz, and it's been that way since the original PlayStation 5. If you use 120 Hz and you have a 120 Hz TV the image will look darker. You can fix this by turning on HIGI in settings, (should be under tone mapping) or option in some tv that have game mode. In other TVs, it only appeared after turning on game mode.
But there's a workaround to force the system to output full color, which ends up being super bright. Change the setting for that specific game to 1080p by force in the PS5 Pro/PS5 system menu. However, I would recommend this more for the PRO because it has enhancement with a brand new 4K scaling system. Set the game to either fidelity on the P55 PRO mode or Pro Max try them both out you'll notice the darkness goes instantly away because the HDMI now has less information to output so we can output full color resolution @120hz. Or you can just not play in 120 Hz and just use a standard Pro setting/leave system at 2k. Just giving a tip in case you try 120 Hz and realize it's darker.
I'm happy with the unit. It does feel like a completely different system. It's just overall better performance, more cleaner, the pro enhanced games look freaking phenomenal and it definitely fixes a lot of problems with the older non-pro games.
