They lowered the output res, and this is precisely what I was worried about when I heard they're working on a PSSR2 patch.

I dont see any difference

So no 4k output anymore?
But it probably has better framerate.

patch looks worse

Check out the buddha statue on 2nd shot. If you don't see a difference, you need to get an eye examination.

Most likely, as if anyone has ever asked..

Reminds me of Cyberpunk output drop from 4k to 1800p around that PL expansion - it was bad.

As a console gamer, I get absolutely annoyed by this 'we know better' attitude from devs.

Which mode are the comparisons from? Performance mode with PSSR was very unstable with framerates often dropping even below the VRR range as the mode was probably optimised for just TAA. If they stabilised it by dropping output res, that's still a win as far as I'm concerned.

Welp it's worse now

It's the performance mode.
And we already had the 'better frame rate' option called 'TAAU' toggle in the options menu. AC Shadows uses LFC so the frame rate didn't stutter even when it dips below the VRR range on a 120hz display. They just killed the image quality for nothing.

Looking at the original video, I'm not sure this is sufficient evidence to tell the output resolution has changed. The whole screen, especially distant objects, is pulsing with compression artifacts, so it's going to depend on which frame was picked. I can see the difference OP is pointing, but these are screenshots of a youtube video at suboptimal quality. Would wait for analysis on direct feed with pixel counts.

You could be be right, but at the end of video each scenes were briefly paused which slightly boosted the picture quality and that's where I got these comparison shots from.

You're right, PSSR1 had maximum of 2.5x upscale, I believe PSSR2 can go as high as 3x (ultra performance) since it's basically a version of FSR 4.1.
But I think they dropped both the internal and the output res to minimize the artifacts. 720p to 1800P is my guess. We'll see when DF does the pixel count if they ever do it.

Toggle performs better, yes

Seriously, is this where we have gotten to in gaming today? Zooming in and looking to see what image looks slightly blurrier or not? How about we focus on whether the game is good or not? Does it control well? Does the game hold your attention all the way through? Why are we zooming in to see differences no one would ever fucking notice sitting down at a TV playing the game whilst NOT pausing it to see any discernable differences from one patch to another? Digital Foundry has made people go fucking crazy.

This thread is about PSSR and image quality, not about how fun the game is. You have OT for that.
