PS4 firmware 4.50 add Boost Mode for PS4 Pro.

Dude.

This fucking rocks.

I've been following this thread for a long time but I keep getting more and more excited seeing the improvements and everyone's reactions.
 
Here's a good question: if a game like Infamous has a Pro patch, how much better would it run in Boost Mode by deleting the patch?
 
WHAT

This is real?

Holy fuckin' shit, Sony. That's a goddamn megaton. And one hell of a FW update.

Once we get some definitive numbers from DF, and assuming a good upgrade results in some key games, I'm hopping on a Pro ASAP.
 
Just got my pro but now I don't know what game to play since a lot of them might run better soon...

How long do these betas usually last?
 
haha, was offered the beta as part of a market research thing but passed. then saw this thread - went back, dug the deleted email out of the trash, clicked and... "we already have enough people respond to this request - thank you" or words to that effect. fml :D

Again.. how do you know every dev is doing this for each pro patch?
Pro-enabled means hw is used at its proper spec, there's nothing to "boost" on top of that, regardless if you add visual enhancements or not.
 
Official comment from Sony spokesperson to The Verge

When activated, Boost Mode "lets PS4 Pro run at a higher GPU and CPU clock speed in order to improve gameplay on some PS4 games that were released before the launch of PS4 Pro," a company spokesperson told The Verge. "Games that have a variable frame rate may benefit from a higher frame rate, and load times may be shorter in some games too."

Sony confirms new PS4 Pro ‘Boost Mode' will help some older games run faster and smoother
 
Well, I've found my first game that crashes back to the homescreen when boost mode is on. Cannot get Soma to work! Can anyone else try this to verify?
 
What happens when you select beast mode AND have a game that has pro settings?
