PlayStation 5(PlayStation 5)(或更广为人知的说法是PS5)是索尼在游戏机大战中的最新产品。(PS5)它是一款强大的产品,拥有令人印象深刻的规格,有望为游戏玩家带来新的沉浸感。
索尼(Sony)在新款PS5中引入的关键功能之一是性能模式(Performance Mode)。但这个模式到底是什么?它如何影响你的游戏玩法?让我们深入了解一下。

了解性能模式
性能模式是(Mode)PS5上的一种图形设置,它优先考虑帧速率而不是分辨率。换句话说,当您启用此模式时,您的PS5将致力于提供流畅的每秒 60 帧 (fps) 的游戏体验,即使这意味着稍微降低图形质量。与游戏玩家在PS4 Pro(PS4 Pro)等游戏机上习惯的 30 fps 相比,这是一个重大进步。
PS5 性能模式(PS5 Performance Mode)提供的更高帧速率可以为您的游戏体验带来天壤之别。无论您是在《蜘蛛侠:迈尔斯·莫拉莱斯》中在(Morales)纽约(New York)的摩天大楼中摇摆,还是在新的《星球大战》游戏中在遥远的银河系中战斗,60 fps 提供的流畅度都可以让您体验游戏的乐趣更加灵敏(make your gameplay feel more responsive)和身临其境。
注意:此设置仅告诉PS5您通常更喜欢什么;它不会阻止您在游戏菜单中手动切换到不同的模式。所以你可以在每个游戏的基础上覆盖它。
分辨率模式(Resolution Mode)与性能模式
但这与PS5的分辨率模式(Resolution Mode)相比如何?也称为质量模式(Quality Mode),图形设置优先考虑图像质量和分辨率而不是帧速率。当您启用此模式时,您的PS5将致力于以(目标)4K 分辨率提供游戏体验,即使这意味着帧速率可能会下降至 30fps。此模式非常适合具有精美图形和较慢游戏节奏的游戏,您可以花时间欣赏游戏世界中的高水平细节。
但是,请记住,在很多情况下,您看不到“分辨率”(Resolution)或“性能”(Performance)模式下的图像质量之间的差异。如果您仍在使用 1080p(又名“全高清”)电视,则在分辨率模式下运行不会带来太大好处。PS5仍然以 4K 为目标,但随后将该图像“下采样”至 1080p 。(PS5)这确实会产生更好的 1080p 图像,但即使在性能(Performance)模式下,大多数游戏的渲染分辨率都高于 1080p,因此无论哪种方式,您仍然可以获得更好的图像。

此外,如果您坐得离 4K 电视机太远,您可能看不到 4K 提供的细节。大多数人低估了他们必须坐到 4K 设备的距离才能看到 4K 细节。例如,标准 55 英寸屏幕尺寸要求您坐在距电视 6 英尺以内的(closer than 6ft from the TV)位置。
但是,分辨率模式的某些方面可能在任何距离都可见,因为您可以在质量模式下将其他设置(例如照明质量或树叶密度)设置为更高级别。然而,更高的帧速率在任何距离都可见,并且会影响视觉效果之外的其他方面,特别是游戏响应您的输入的敏捷程度。
如何启用性能模式
打开PS5 性能模式(PS5 Performance Mode)轻而易举。以下是具体操作方法。
- 打开 PlayStation 5 主机。
- 从主仪表板中,导航至屏幕右上角并选择“设置”(Settings)图标(由齿轮表示)。

- 在“设置”(Settings)菜单中,选择“保存的数据”(Saved Data)和Game/App Setting。

- 在此菜单中,找到并选择游戏预设(Game Presets)。

- 您将在“游戏预设”菜单中看到(Game Presets)“游戏默认”(Game Default)、 “性能模式(Performance Mode)”或“分辨率模式”(Resolution Mode)选项。

- 您现在可以选择性能模式(Performance Mode)或分辨率模式(Resolution Mode)。选择性能模式(Select Performance Mode)以优先考虑更高的帧速率。
就是这样!您的PS5将优先考虑性能,以更高的帧速率提供更流畅的游戏体验。请记住(Remember),如果您希望优先考虑图形质量和分辨率,
您可以随时返回此菜单以切换回分辨率模式。(Resolution Mode)
如何在 PS5 游戏中获得 120FPS
一些精选的PS5 游戏(PS5 games),例如“Gran Turismo 7”,支持高于 60fps 的帧速率。然而,这仅适用于刷新率(computer monitors with refresh rates)为 120Hz 或以上的电视或电脑显示器。您的电视是否可以做到这一点可能很棘手,因为您可能需要深入研究一些技术规格。尽管如此,PS5仍然可以在几秒钟内轻松找出激活此模式的选项是否不可用,这意味着您当前的电视设置不支持它。
以下是在 PS5 上打开或关闭 120Hz 输出的步骤:
- 从 PS5 的主屏幕开始。
- 导航至右上角并选择“设置”(Settings)。

- 在“设置”(Settings)菜单中,选择“屏幕(Screen)和视频”(Video)。

- 在“屏幕(Screen)和视频”(Video)菜单中,转到“视频输出”(Video Output)。

- 在这里,您会找到一个名为 120Hz Output 的(Output)选项。选择“自动”(Select Automatic)可根据您的喜好打开或关闭 120Hz 输出。

如果激活此选项,支持 120Hz 输出的游戏将以超过 60 fps 的速度渲染。并非所有游戏都会达到或维持这个数字,但您将获得比正常性能模式更多的性能。
除此之外,120Hz 模式还有更多功能。某些游戏,例如“ Ratchet and Clank : Rift Apart”和“Horizon Forbidden West”具有 40fps 模式,但只能在 120Hz 模式下运行。这是因为 40 均分为 120Hz(但不是 60Hz),这使得该帧速率可以在没有视觉伪影的情况下工作。这种 40fps 模式在质量和性能模式之间提供了一个很好的中间地带。
始终激活 120Hz 模式并没有什么坏处,因为您仍然可以在菜单中手动将各个游戏设置为 60fps 甚至 30fps,这两种游戏都可以在 120Hz 下完美运行。
注意:如果您的 120Hz 电视或显示器不支持HDMI VRR(可变刷新率(Refresh Rate)),则当游戏无法完全达到 120fps 标记时,在 120Hz 模式下运行可能会导致屏幕撕裂。
特殊的游戏内设置
我们刚刚讨论的 40fps 模式是特殊游戏内图形模式的一个示例,您只能在给定游戏的菜单中看到该模式。PS5系统本身的游戏预设是二进制的,只有两个选项。有些游戏,例如“ Ghostwire Tokyo ”,有许多不同的图形模式,其中Ghostwire有十种!

这些模式可以是游戏开发者选择的任何模式,但通常可以归结为以下几种:
- 30fps 保真模式
- 60fps 性能模式
- 40fps 平衡模式(如果支持并且启用 120Hz 输出)
- 120fps 高帧率模式(Frame Rate Mode)(如果支持并且启用 120Hz 输出)
- 光线(Ray)追踪功能已激活(以开发人员指定的帧速率)
光线追踪是一项以前专属于(Ray)NVIDIA RTX系列等高端 PC 游戏GPU 的(GPUs)功能,是一种模拟光线与视频游戏中的对象相互作用的渲染技术。它可以使灯光和反射看起来极其逼真,为您的游戏体验增添另一层沉浸感。然而,光线追踪对控制台硬件的要求可能很高,如果您的游戏图形密集度特别高,这可能会导致一些卡顿或低帧速率。
PS4 游戏怎么样?
PS5向后兼容几乎所有为PS4发布(PS4)的(PS5)游戏。您对PS5(PS5)游戏的预设选择通常不会影响PS4游戏,这些游戏默认在PS5上以其(PS5)PS4 Pro设置运行。
一些PS4游戏已被其开发人员打了补丁,以利用 PS5 中的额外马力,(PS5)这通常意味着会有一个菜单选项(或默认状态),游戏可以以 4K60 运行,如果 120Hz 输出,甚至可能超过 60fps已启用。

在某些情况下,未修补的PS4游戏具有 60fps 模式,它会将其分辨率限制为 1080p 甚至更低,因为这些是PS4 Pro性能模式设置。
未解锁帧速率和动态分辨率缩放的未修补PS4游戏通常可以达到 4K60fps,无需开发者进行特殊修补。
最重要的是,对于PS4游戏,当您在(PS4)PS5上玩它们时,您必须根据具体情况处理性能和质量。一些PS4游戏已被重新制作成原生PS5游戏,通常您可以免费升级到该版本(例如《赛博朋克 2077(Cyberpunk 2077)》)或支付少量费用,例如《侠盗猎车手 V》(Grand Theft Auto V)。
其他控制台怎么样?

还值得注意的是,PS5 性能模式(PS5 Performance Mode)是寻求更高帧速率的游戏玩家的众多选择之一。PS5 的主要竞争对手Xbox Series X(Xbox Series X)和 S 也提供了类似的功能。当谈到在最新的Xbox主机上玩(Xbox)Xbox、Xbox 360和Xbox One游戏时,微软(Microsoft)找到了一种方法来提高一些旧游戏的帧速率和分辨率,而无需开发人员的任何帮助。
在快节奏的游戏(Fast Paced Game)中尝试性能模式(Performance Mode)
PS5性能模式(PS5 Performance Mode)对于主机游戏玩家来说是一个游戏规则改变者。它提供更流畅、响应更灵敏的游戏体验,使其成为快节奏动作游戏的绝佳选择。然而,如果您是一个重视图形质量和高分辨率而不是帧率的游戏玩家,那么 PS5 的分辨率模式(Resolution Mode)可能更适合您。无论哪种方式,选择权都在您手中,PS5 的游戏预设可以让您轻松地在您认为合适的模式之间切换。
PS5 Performance Mode: What It Is and How to Turn It On
The PlayStation 5, or PS5 as it’s more commonly known, is Sony’s latest entry in the console wars. It’s a powerhouse, boаsting impressive specs that promise to deliver а new level of immersion for gamers.
One of the key features that Sony has introduced with the new PS5 is the Performance Mode. But what exactly is this mode, and how does it affect your gameplay? Let’s dive in.

Understanding Performance Mode
Performance Mode is a graphics setting on the PS5 that prioritizes framerate over resolution. In other words, when you enable this mode, your PS5 will aim to deliver a smooth 60 frames per second (fps) gameplay experience, even if it means dialing back on the graphical quality a bit. This is a significant step up from the 30fps gamers have grown accustomed to on consoles like the PS4 Pro.
The higher frame rates offered by the PS5 Performance Mode can make a world of difference in your gaming experience. Whether you’re swinging through the skyscrapers of New York in “Spider-Man: Miles Morales” or battling it out in the galaxy far, far away in a new “Star Wars” game, the smoothness offered by 60fps can make your gameplay feel more responsive and immersive.
Note: This setting only tells the PS5 what you generally prefer; it doesn’t prevent you from manually switching to a different mode within a game’s menus. So you can override this on a per-game basis.
Resolution Mode vs. Performance Mode
But how does this compare to the PS5’s Resolution Mode? Also known as Quality Mode, the graphics setting prioritizes image quality and resolution over framerate. When you enable this mode, your PS5 will aim to deliver gameplay at a (targeted) 4K resolution, even if it means the framerate might drop to 30fps. This mode is perfect for games with beautiful graphics and slower-paced gameplay, where you can take the time to appreciate the high level of detail in the game world.
However, remember that there are many situations where you won’t see the difference between the image quality in Resolution or Performance mode. If you’re still using a 1080p (AKA “Full HD”) TV, you won’t see much benefit from running in resolution mode. The PS5 still targets 4K but then “downsamples” that image to 1080p. This does result in a better 1080p image, but even in Performance mode, most games render above 1080p, so you’re still getting a better picture either way.

Also, if you sit too far from your 4K TV set, you may not see the detail offered by 4K. Most people underestimate how close they have to sit to their 4K set to see 4K detail. For example, the standard 55″ screen size requires you to sit closer than 6ft from the TV.
But, some aspects of resolution mode may be visible at any distance since you can set other settings (such as lighting quality or foliage density) to higher levels in quality mode. However, higher frame rates are always visible at any distance and affect other aspects besides visuals, specifically how snappy the game feels in response to your input.
How to Enable Performance Mode
Turning on the PS5 Performance Mode is a breeze. Here’s how to do it.
- Turn on your PlayStation 5 console.
- From the main dashboard, navigate to the top-right corner of the screen and select the Settings icon (represented by a cog).

- In the Settings menu, select Saved Data and Game/App Setting.

- Within this menu, find and select Game Presets.

- You’ll see an option for Game Default, Performance Mode, or Resolution Mode in the Game Presets menu.

- You will now have the option to choose between Performance Mode or Resolution Mode. Select Performance Mode to prioritize higher frame rates.
And that’s it! Your PS5 will prioritize performance, offering smoother gameplay at higher frame rates. Remember, you can always return to this menu to switch back to Resolution Mode if you prefer to prioritize graphical quality and resolution.
How to Get 120FPS in PS5 Games
A few select PS5 games, such as “Gran Turismo 7,” support frame rates above 60fps. However, this is only possible on televisions or computer monitors with refresh rates of 120Hz or above. Whether your TV can do this can be tricky since you may have to dig into some technical specifications. Still, the PS5 makes it easy to figure out in a few seconds if the option to activate this mode is unavailable, it means your current TV setup does not support it.
Here are the steps to turn 120Hz output on or off on your PS5:
- Start from the PS5’s home screen.
- Navigate to the top right-hand corner and select Settings.

- Within the Settings menu, select Screen and Video.

- In the Screen and Video menu, go to Video Output.

- Here, you will find an option called 120Hz Output. Select Automatic to turn 120Hz output on or off as per your preference.

Games that support 120Hz output will render at more than 60 fps if this option is activated. Not all games will reach or sustain this number, but you will get more than the normal performance mode.
There’s even more to the 120Hz mode beyond this. Some games, such as “Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart” and “Horizon Forbidden West” have 40fps modes that only work in 120Hz mode. That’s because 40 divides evenly into 120Hz (but not 60Hz), which allows this frame rate to work without visual artifacts. This 40fps mode offers a nice middle ground between quality and performance modes.
There’s no harm in activating 120Hz mode all the time since you can still manually set individual games to 60fps or even 30fps in their menus, both of which work perfectly at 120Hz.
Note: If your 120Hz television or monitor does not support HDMI VRR (Variable Refresh Rate), running in 120Hz mode may lead to screen tearing when the game can’t quite hit that 120fps mark.
Special In-Game Settings
The 40fps mode we just discussed is an example of a special in-game graphics mode that you will only see within the menus of a given game. The game presets of the PS5 system itself are binary, with only two options. Some games, such as “Ghostwire Tokyo,” have many different graphics modes, with Ghostwire sporting ten!

These modes can be anything the game developer chooses, but usually boil down to the following:
- 30fps Fidelity mode
- 60fps Performance mode
- 40fps balanced mode (if supported and the 120Hz output enabled)
- 120fps High Frame Rate Mode (if supported and the 120Hz output enabled)
- Ray tracing features activated (at a frame rate specified by the developer)
Ray tracing, a feature previously exclusive to high-end PC gaming GPUs such as the NVIDIA RTX series, is a rendering technique that simulates how light interacts with objects in a video game. It can make lighting and reflections look incredibly realistic, adding another layer of immersion to your gaming experience. However, ray tracing can be demanding on the console’s hardware, which might lead to some stuttering or low frame rates if your game is particularly graphics-intensive.
What About PS4 Games?
The PS5 is backward compatible with nearly every game ever released for the PS4. Your preset choice for PS5 games generally does not affect PS4 games, which run at their PS4 Pro settings by default on PS5.
Some PS4 games have been patched by their developers to take advantage of the extra horsepower in the PS5, which usually means there will be a menu option (or a default state) where the game runs at 4K60, or perhaps even over 60fps if 120Hz output is enabled.

In some cases where an unpatched PS4 game has a 60fps mode, it will limit its resolution to 1080p or even less since these were the PS4 Pro performance mode settings.
Unpatched PS4 games with unlocked frame rates and dynamic resolution scaling can often reach 4K60fps without special patching by the developer.
The bottom line is that with PS4 games, you’ll have to deal with performance and quality on a case-by-case basis when you play them on your PS5. Some PS4 games have been remastered into native PS5 games, and often you can get a free upgrade to this version (e.g., Cyberpunk 2077) or pay a small fee, such as with Grand Theft Auto V.
What About Other Consoles?

It’s also worth noting that the PS5 Performance Mode is one of many options for gamers seeking higher frame rates. The Xbox Series X and S, the PS5’s main competitors, also offer a similar feature. When it comes to playing Xbox, Xbox 360, and Xbox One games on the latest Xbox consoles, Microsoft has found a way to boost frame rate and resolution in some older games without any help from the developer.
Try Performance Mode in a Fast Paced Game
The PS5 Performance Mode is a game-changer for console gamers. It offers a smoother, more responsive gameplay experience, making it a great choice for fast-paced action games. However, if you’re a gamer who values graphical quality and high resolution over framerate, the PS5’s Resolution Mode might be more up your alley. Either way, the choice is yours, and the PS5’s game presets make it easy to switch between these modes as you see fit.
