I wonder how this affects battlefield 4. the game was running like crap with 64 players in conquest.

Yes that is a good one to check

 

[Muzicfreq]

Game changer.... literally

 

[AmyS]

Witcher 3 needs checked as well! *curse a perfect game never getting a pro patch*

YES

People check Witcher 3 please

This ^

A console implements something PC's have done since before I was born, and people go crazy. But great news. 

The fact that PCs had this is not going to make Bllodborne or Until Dawn etc. run better, will it? You get the idea. This is a big deal for exclusive games.

 

[Fisty]

Oh man... The Evil Within at steady 30fps? Yes please.

Tell us how you really feel.

 

[androvsky]

I think the big difference here is that on PS3, some devs would probably manually fine-tune the threading on the CPU, what each SPE would do etc..

No chance of anyone manually tasking the CUs. The task delegation there has got to be automated. This is why something like this boost mode is going to be far more safer/stable than that PS3 SPE unlock hack, even if it's not just a clock boost.

Another part of the problem with unlocked SPEs on the PS3 is they were disabled to increase yields, so errors in them are quite possible which would definitely cause all sorts of issues.

OH MY GOD YOU'RE SO FUCKING COOL. I hope one day we can all be as cool as you.

 

[Backfoggen]

Someone check Broforce lol

 

[Wishmaster92]

This is amazing!!! Bloodborne!

 

[KORNdoggy]

This wont mean jack if games are locked to 30 FPS.

but great for the many games that dip below that mark. this is what the xbox s does. it's what the pro should have done from day 1. great to see it here.

God dammit, is there only one wave of beta invites? I need this!

My luck is 50% right now. I believe there have been four Beta sign ups and I have been invited to two. Bummer I missed this one.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Megaton, Pro finally worth something.

 

[Piccoro]

I wonder if Street Fighter V will get any boost from this...

 

[horkrux]

It's not cu though but spe and it's not 2 like i said earlier but only 1. I'm remembering things wrong.

http://www.psdevwiki.com/ps3/Unlocking_the_8th_SPE

Technically 2 are disabled but you only get to unlock 1.

Ah OK. Interesting. But enabling additional CPU cores and whatnot is always more risky anyway. I don't think enabling the extra CU will have such funky results.

Isn't it 1080p/60fps locked?

Lol @ them just patching it in like this. Why was it not there day one? Good on them for doing it at all.

This definitely helps me in really wanting one.

Tested GTA V (Online) with Boost-Mode.
I do not know if I am wrong, but the game feels much smoother. Even in MP.

 

[Corky]

Finally! Another game I've been holding out on due to perf issues, was always hyped for TEW but framerate on consoles (esp on ps4 amateur) seemed so atrocious.

Hopefully

I don't care if it's just a few frames. I really enjoy even small boosts like this. It's what made playing MH4U on a new 3ds so novel compared to a regular 3ds.

That seems like a massive improvement. Still not locked 30 at all times as far as I can tell, but where it dropped to like 15-20 on regular mode, now drops to maybe 27-28 on boost mode.

That's my expectation. I expect the same can of difference between PS4 pro and PS4 than Xbox One and Xbox One S.

That's a very noticeable difference!

I wonder if Tomb Raider DE will now be a locked 60fps instead of 45-60?

 

[LelouchZero]

GTA V runs at a fixed resolution and 99% locked framerate on a regular PS4, it's probably one of the worst candidates ever for a concept like this.

GTA Online runs completely differently, it was running at sub 30 fps when I was playing online free roam a couple of days ago, explosions can also see dips in the 20 fps range.

 

[hawk2025]

That's my expectation. I expect the same can of difference between PS4 pro and PS4 than Xbox One and Xbox One S.

The bump up is larger here. I expect more.

 

[Muzicfreq]

Someone check Until Dawn! It might actually run well now!
