Here’s a GIF showing the difference more clearly (which may not work in Firefox apparently). The changes are most visible in the clouds and grass.

The difference are subtle but definitely there. We’ll have to wait until the PS4 Pro’s November 11 release however to really see what the big upgrades will be.
