Unless you sit unreasonably close to the TV or have a 90+ foot TV set/projector. Sitting at a reasonable 10 feet from my 50 inch I can't see shit all difference between fidelity and RT performance mode in Rachet and clank which is the lowest resolution setting against the highest. At 5 feet still can't see much of a differnce but the image very slightly pops a little more, now get on it at three feet it starts to become apparent and the clarity increase isn't apparent unti you get two feet from the TV, It takes getting real close and identifying the clarity. RT modes are nice but they're still so weak that it just looks like a contrast boost unless you're very close to a light source or directly over water or beside a glass reflection. 

With the way the PRO is being utilised it is the most useless, overpriced piece of tech. Perhaps on a 70" screen at a reasonable distance it'll make the image pop more but for we the majority with 50 inches give or take ten, it's not gonna be noticeable again, at a reasonable distance.

I bought the PS4 PRO and that was a big step up, really noticeable with a new 4k TV while comparing to my old 1080 set with the base pS4. Not a generational leap but a really big bump up and also brought around the Performance/fidelity modes we see on the ps5 today. Shadow of the collosus remake was actually kinda mind blowing and pretty close to a generational leap as we knownit today. Now, for this machine to be worth it's price tag it really has to make use of the hardware to actually make the graphics better, the devs using it in the same way PC graphics scale as you up the settings. Spending 800-875 euro for an image that'll pop slightly more to the eye is wild.

Please, prove me wrong. I've only seen one game where this hardware is justified and that is Dragons Dogma 2, the devs were actually able to optimise the game properly with the new hardware. Perhaps in the future we will see it utilised in this manner and it'll be worth the upgrade. Bring on the new Sony first party games to actually make use of the new tech.
