This will be glorious, though they need a mode with RTGI. I don't care if it's 1080p internal just do eet

Good update. Ray tracing, as in 90% of games, is a very subtle effect. In GT7, I mostly notice it in the replays, which now run at 60fps! And in the low-ground camera, when you get close to cars and can see yourself reflected in their bodywork, which is really cool but not transformative. In my opinion, ray tracing still hasn’t taken off, too much computational cost for what it adds.

As for PSSR, it’s pretty good. The image is very sharp and clean, but there’s definitely a bit more aliasing and flickering in distant elements. Nothing serious, and personally, I’ll play with PSSR enabled, but it’s noticeable.

 

[Feel Like I'm On 42]

I just tested it and am very very disappointed with this Pro update. First of all RT mode with pssr has straight up bad image quality. Secondly, just like Forza the rt reflections are hard to spot during a race.

There's an 8k mode, but I think you need a 120hz TV for it.

So I'm left playing the game in the previous mode (taa?) which looks identical to base ps5 ...they should've at least added some lod improvements to that

Fairly sure lod has improved.

i find it funny that people dont notice the ray-tracing during the races but focus on the PSSR "artifacts"

 

[ShaiKhulud1989]

VR got a huge boost on Pro. PSVR2 reddit is in awe of this update.

 

[Tchu-Espresso]

Holy shit!

I think it has RT on PSVR 2 on PS5 Pro.

It won't connect online so my options of cars is limited, but on the Xbow there is a digital dash and I can see my head looking at it. I went in really close and your head reflects in real time and it's super crisp. Maybe it's the increase in clarity, that I've never noticed before. It may just be some amazingly well done SSR, but I don't think so. It's late and I'm going to bed, but I'll check again with some different cars that have a bigger digital dash that reflects a bigger space. Someone else with PSVR 2 try it out and let me know.

Great update btw.

That would be silly given that 90fps+ is far far far more valuable.

The plan is .. find the faults no matter how miniscule they are then blow it to heaven as end of the world issue.. plus ignore everything

It has been like this even with DF .. evey hour they publish a video slice about bad PRO ports ignoring or minimizing all impressive ports that works against their narrative.

Because it's obvious that it lowers IQ, unless you're blind or playing on a CRT... I completely understand someone who prefers to give up Ray tracing to have less flickering and aliasing. PSSR isn't magic, it's a good rescaler and has a future, but it's not magic.

You ever been in a bad relationship and dragged it on? Perhaps it's time to move on then pro seems to not be for you

No! I love to see his misery posts. They fuel me. I love knowing he’s going through so much pain.

 

[Loboxxx]

Nobody, but you are surprised that we notice the defects of PSSR more than the ray tracing. When you are playing, the drop in IQ due to the use of PSSR is more noticeable than the effects of ray tracing, even if it seems strange to you. For me it is very obvious, it is not something that is horrible, but accustomed to the very clean image that GT7 offers, it is very noticeable. I don't see anything strange in people commenting on this.

 

[Skifi28]

Cockpit view appears brighter to me with pssr on than with off. I really doubt they added rtgi, but perhaps the RT reflections do contribute a bit in whatever GI the game already uses. Nothing major, just thought it was interesting assuming it's not placebo.

ray-tracing with mild PSSR artifacts suits me just fine.

Doesn't Playstation allow for 60hz VR to be reprojected to 120hz?

 

[sncvsrtoip]

pssr mode its useless as predicted, best mode is 4k native 120hz vrr mode that we already had without update

 

[Spukc]

Ingame RT is pretty slick.
Biggest update imo is the PSVR2 res bump almost real life

 

[mansoor1980]

will smith presents another video demonstrating raytracing with PSSR magic

 

[Magik85]

lods look better and i dont see any upscaling artifacts

It seems that player car LOD is higher poly than before (perhaps photomode quality).
Finally the interior is fully modelled from outside view.

 

[omegasc]

Is GT7 the first 120hz PSSR game?

im looking more at the track side trees , they def have better lods now

Time to finally pull my psvr2 outta the box.

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Solid improvement for vr, new reprojection algorithm eliminating ghosting visable on car when overtaking and in vr replays edit: unfortunetly visible artifacts as double hud for w196 car and shimering at front of Bac Mono

While not disappointed, I agree that PSSR has room to improve in the RT front, mainly in 'chrome-like' parts (it reminds me a lot of DLSS 1.0 'aura'). Given the 'live' nature of GT7, I am sure they will keep updating PSSR.
I guess you don't have a 120hz VRR TV/monitor? It makes the game a lot better, with even replays going up to 120hz with RT, and no frame drops - which were very rare but did occur in base PS5

 

[ShakenG]

Moto in this clip was also using PSSR.

 

[scydrex]

So they increased the res for psvr2? The ghosting is less visible?

looks phenomenal. I expected nothing less from the world most powerful console.

Can you imagine being so cheap that your tv doesn't support 120hz and then complaining that you're not getting much of a boost here?

I wonder what cheap walmart tv he is using.

 

[Javi97]

 

[FrankWza]

There's an 8k mode, but I think you need a 120hz TV for it.

So I'm left playing the game in the previous mode

Dude. Seriously?

 

[saintjules]

As suspected, the Pro enhancement release updates will vary by dev.

Anyone try this with PSVR2? I'm not a big racing guy, but wouldn't mind diving in to check this out.

 

[Elios83]

Wow ray tracing in cockpit view is transformative
Can't wait to try it tonight.

With PSSR

 

[Klosshufvud]

Really hard to spot the difference. Seems like the biggest upgrade is in VR. This is a game that already does native 4K 60+ fps on base PS5 so the room for improvement isn't exactly large if you're not overhauling your entire lighting system. Which of course they don't do for a mere Pro update. It only highlights how exceptionally presented the game is on a base PS5. This is how I wanted all current gen games to look and play.

 

[killatopak]

Anyone have PSVR2 impressions?

New reprojection alogrith for ps5pro remove ghosting visible especialy when you overtake cars or in vr replays but ufnortunetly introduce artifacts (I notice shimering on Bac Mono front also double hud for new w196 car)

 

[Mung]

This looks and runs fantastically on a 120hz vrr screen. And VR mode improvements are excellent.

Love this game.

That's replay though. Not actual gameplay. And I personally prefer the third person camera and the differences there are extremely hard to spot in gameplay. The improvements made on the actual tracks, vegetation and other cars are best described as modest.

It's a lot better now, and it was already awesome before. Clearer and I believe LoDs are better. Didn't test a lot, though, only one Porsche race at Laguna Seca.
edit: downside is what sncvsrtoip noted... PSSR is having a hard time with RT mainly in shiny, chrome-like surfaces I think.

This makes a huge difference mainly for the fact they are full framerate now where some of the cube maps were 30fps prior.

 

[Vroadstar]

Of course.

Once again I refer people to Cerngod's presentation. They turned the 30fps replay mode to gameplay at 60fps. This is what the PS5 Pro was designed to do.

If this isn't what people wanted or expected then they werren't paying attention.
