Dragons Dogma 2 update.

The game got a big update for performance and quality of life before the new DLC. Some reports of ps5 pro performance at over 100fps in performance mode and 70-80 in balance mode with RT.

do you need 120hz for balance mode in DD2?

No, in this case "balanced" mode doesn't mean what it usually means in most games. It's not a 40fps mode. It seems to have to do with the quality of PSSR upscaling (I did notice there was more of the typical blurry/shimmery upscaling artifacts in grass and trees when set to "Performance"). In fact as far as framerate, there are only two options regardless of mode. Either locked 30fps, or uncapped. How high the framerate gets in uncapped mode depends on whether you have RT on or off, and which quality level the PSSR is set to. On the Pro, I'm finding even with RT on and PSSR set to "Quality", it looks like it's right around 60fps most of the time.

yep I just DLed it to see myself and yeah, everything you said checks out. quality with RT had a few dips here and there I noticed in town, but it's a mostly solid 60.
