Yes infinity . It's a log scale

PSNR has various issues with being used as a "quality" measurement, but one thing everyone will agree on - is that it's good at testing lossless vs. not

In the higher bitrate ranges, such as with these production codecs - the "subjectively" influenced metrics are less useful . For example, VMAF wasn't even trained at those bitrates (much lower delivery bitrates), and it cannot even distinguish accurately between mathematically lossless vs. not
