Checkerboarding is a rendering technique that's used to increase the resolution of a game by taking data from a previous frame and placing it into a new frame. It's way more effective than upscalling and way less demanding than rendering a new pixel natively.

That doesn't tell me anything... Most ps4 pro games do that. What I mean is, what does it mean when you said "checkerboard 4k"? Like what resolution is it checkerboarding to 4k from? Cause it doesn't make much sense if it checkerboards to 4k from 4k res...

Sorry, to checkerboard to a resolution you need to render half of the pixels in the native resolution you're going for. So a checkerboard 4K image is going be natively rendering something to the tune of 1527 X 2715.

Mind you, checkerboarding isn't resource free. So it takes more power to render a 4K checkerboard image than it would to produce a native 1527 X 2715 image, but there's a pretty sizable jump in image quality.
