The PlayStation Spectral Super Resolution upscaler, on the other hand, could be a huge game changer. The tech experts at Digital Foundry recently commented on the three pillars of the PlayStation 5 Pro in a new video, highlighting how the system's ray tracing capabilities may not be as transformative as, for example, those introduced by NVIDIA's Turing architecture which powered the RTX 2000 series GPUs.
