Melakukan render game pada resolusi 4K diraih menggunakan berbagai teknik render dan fitur perangkat keras; Mark Cerny menjelaskan bahwa Sony tidak dapat memaksa 4K secara langsung tanpa berkompromi dengan harga dan ukuran, sehingga konsol dirancang untuk mendukung teknik rendering ''streamlined'', menggunakan perangkat keras khusus, algoritma temporal dan spasial terbaik, dan banyak fitur dari arsitektur AMD Polaris. Teknik paling utama adalah ''checkerboard rendering'', dimana konsol hanya melakukan bagian dari sebuah ''scene'' dalam pola ''checkerboard,'' dan menggunakan algoritma untuk mengisi bagian yang tidak dirender. Penggunakan checkerboard dapat diperhalus menggunakan filter anti aliasing. Hermen Hiust dari Guerrilla Games menjelaskan bahwa PS 4 Pro mampu melakukan render yang "sangat mirip [dengan 4K] sehingga kamu tidak dapat melihat perbedaannya".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-4k-gaming-on-ps4-pro-tech-analysis|title=Tech Analysis: 4K gaming on PlayStation 4 Pro|last=Leadbetter|first=Richard|date=2016-10-09|website=Eurogamer|language=en|access-date=2020-02-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://venturebeat.com/2016/09/08/ps4-pro-isnt-4k-that-doesnt-matter/|title=PlayStation 4 Pro is not a real 4K console|date=2016-09-08|website=VentureBeat|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-13}}</ref><ref>{{Cite nameweb|url="auto5"https://www.engadget.com/2016/10/20/ps4-pro-mark-cerny-interview-hardware/|title=The PS4 Pro, as explained by the man who designed it|website=Engadget|language=en|access-date=2020-02-13}}</ref>
