Ive recently come to PS5 after playing series x for many years. The performance and graphics quality play and look worse on PS5 via performance mode?

Ive reinstalled cache. power cycled etc.

Is this a recent problem since Gold Road?

I'm noticing fps drops especially when turning character and random stutters here and there This does not happen constantly but very often. No doubt a VRR monitor would solve this but there very expensive. The graphics looks worse as well compared to X when both consoles are near identical in terms of specs with a few Tflops GPU and a few % differences with the CPU.

I know the menus are now 30fps and its awful but the issues im facing are in-game

Im not here to criticize btw, just curious if this is all because of the Gold Road release.
