Another upgrade was to the memory, which is now 28% faster. Combine with the GPU, the PS5 Pro can render things up to 45% faster, allowing games to target much smoother frame rates. Withy Ray Tracing in trend, Sony have also focus on this aspect, allowing more dynamic reflection and refraction of light.
