I don't know if you see the difference, but you deffo feel it while playing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKsWqHsRNkM - beast mode

Can you try Novigrad? It drops pretty heavily there.

 

[Kinan]

Killzone Shadow Fall gives you the option to uncap the framerate. That's what everyone asking to see. I have the game installed but no beta code still.

Well, the cap is off, but the share button videos are capped with 30 fps, it seems.

No Man's Sky had performance problems I think?

PS4 PRO BOOST MODE - RAINBOW SIX SIEGE - BOOSTING TO 110 FPS


(Not my footage)

I don't know much about the game but there's a tool in the bottom-left that tells you the FPS.

Not sure what the performance is like on PS4 Amateur (lol), but it seems to be pretty good in that footage, although he didn't do anything that could really impact performance

Holy crap.

Some of you guys seriously just need to buy a PC at this point.

My PC can play Bloodborne? Oh nice. Where do I buy it?

 

[Dre_G_Writer]

Damn, this thread blew the hell up in the two hours I was here. Any post about destiny or division performance on the pro???

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Lol, I already love how its called peasant mode and beast mode.

 

[kanuuna]

Now I really wish I had signed up for the beta firmware. I'd like to see Rocket League with V-Sync engaged on a Pro with this boost mode on, which I don't recall running all that smooth on my launch PS4.

Also while a smoother Bloodborne experience sounds great, I still really want a higher res patch. This has to happen at some point, right?

 

[mileS]

Games with framepacing will be hard to notice differences. Framepacing itself can seem like frame drops.

Where in novi? pretty big

From one of the first videos, I preferred 'Amateur mode'.

Just saw this on Twitter, Just Cause 3 Boost Mode:

I'll try to confirm once my download finishes.

Still, shame on Avalanche for the awful optimization and abandonment of the game.

 

[viHuGi]

110fps? this is stupid i´m sorry but why isn´t there a lock for 60fps? One thing i love about console gaming is that i know everyone is at the same playing field but now we have people playing at 110fps?

 

[kurisub306]

Has anyone tested Battlefiled 4 or Hardline with beast mode?

 

[ethomaz]

Damn, this thread blew the hell up in the two hours I was here. Any post about destiny or division performance on the pro???

I play Destiny daily and unless you have a lot of engrams on floor you wont't see drops below 30fps... it is pretty solid.

I don't believe Beast Mode will do anything with locked solid 30fps games.

 

[5taquitos]

Division is already Pro patched, so no benefit.

Has anyone tested Battlefiled 4 or Hardline with beast mode?

Someone needs to test out a 64player CQ match. Can't remember what the worst maps were, performance-wise.

 

[MetalGearZed]

why the hell is "No Thanks" my only option on the beta sign-up. lol
i know the chances of actually getting in were almost 0 but still. dayum sony

You can livestream to Youtube at 60fps and it'll archive the video once you're done, you could share it instead.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Anyone with the firmware beta key that doesn't have Pro and doesn't care, I'll gladly test out loads of games on my Pro in epic fashion.

 

[joecanada]

I guess it's a good thing they didn't call pro the ps4elite then or ps4luxuryedition or peasant mode would have been official lol

I remember docks being one area and anywhere with lots of braziers at night.

Had to stop playing sins it felt so damn awful to just move around in your apartment.

high end consoles seem to be heading that way though. Including Scorpio.

It's not going to affect them since game logic is still running the same for everyone as they are not tied to framerate in this game (unlike for example Quake) and for the framerate they are still going to see 60 max since the console cannot output more than that not can the TV display more than that.

 

[SpokkX]

Here's a REALLY quick video on Bloodborne. Old Yharnam. Sorry, no fancy titles lol first par is peasant mode and second beast mode (starts around 1:22).

Seems like it's still processing so it's kinda low quality

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qqgylCea40

Beast mode is the later one? It actually looks smoother, cant see any stutter unlike in the first part

Hard to tell in a 30 fps movie though..

 

[iosefe]

still need word on PS2 games. anyone testing?

Your tv/monitor only displays 60hz. You can't tell a difference between 60 and 110.

 

[Ferr986]

Second is beast mode yeah. Game is still hard capped at 30 fps.

Gonna try to do another one in Chalices, with witches and stuff that makes the framerate tanks a lot more.

really? guess im waiting until 4.5 to play Soma then.

 

[ksimm]

Can you try Novigrad? It drops pretty heavily there.

I can tell you that Witcher 3 is silky, buttery smooth in Novigrad. I tried it at night and day and could see no drops. YouTube is processing, but not sure about the NDA, probably shouldn't be saying either. Doh.

Its. In. Terrorist. Hunt.

PVE

There is not an option to disable vsync in PVP, so its capped at 60fps.


Rocket League has the option to disable vsync in PVP, wheres the outcry?

Definitely see improvement here, awesome. The stutter when approaching the doors at the start was completely gone in boost mode.

 

[HeelPower]

I hate to be that guy but BB still does need an actual patch.

IQ could really use some downsampling ,and boost mode alone wont do that.

Not to mention its likely locked 30fps.

[Vashetti]

Anyone found any games with issues yet?

When Cerny said awhile back that the Pro would run non-patched games with no enhancements, he suggested that some games exhibited anomalies with the boost enabled.

dont worry, it doesn't exactly work like that.

if you see the video, it ranges from 70 to 110. if someone is even playing it on a 120hz monitor it would be screen tearing fiercely.

Unless someone had gsync, but I doubt they'd bother playing on a console anyway at that point.

tl;Dr most ppl play on 60hz monitors/TVs so there's still no advantage.


edit:whoops I'm dumb, it's in T-Hunt lol

I'm going to do unspeakably erotic things to my Pro when I get home.
