LOL that can't be solved (Edit: The engine, not the game lol).

 

[komorebi]

Sony is a borderline serial killer at this point

They're rolling high dex with the Pro, recent first party titles, giving us QoL stuff like HDD support and custom wallpaper (both overdue but still)

I expect a stealth Beyoncé-style Legend of Dragoon 2 release at this point

Does Yakuza 0 benefit at all? I notice the frame rate isn't always consistent 60fps without Boost.

People have reported in this thread that there are noticeable improvements.

 

[dan2026]

Created a thread for people to ask for codes. To keep them out of this one.

 

[TetraGenesis]

Holy shit!

Just one question, any downsides in putting it in boost mode?

I'm sure we'll discover some eventually (there's a reason this isn't default) but for now it seems like an across the board win, even if the degree of improvements vary between games.

I played around with it for a few minutes, just running around the city and entering a brawl to see if there were any hitches and everything seemed super smooth.

 

[Rellik]

Telltales batman episode 2 ran way much cleaner for me.

Damn. I should have waited.

Since everyone has gone to the popular games I'm giving dragon age a test from the beginning since I found my copy. https://youtu.be/Xm7VA7mPsxs

Posting on the new page since it was on the end of it.
I don't remember how it ran so someone let me know.

Thanks for this. It was getting a bit out of hand.

Okay, The Witcher 3 finally finished downloading - first impressions, the loading times are noticeably improved and running around Novigrad has been smooth sailing.

You can turn boost mode off.

The past betas have only been a few weeks or so. About a month.

Nice.

I'd not paid attention to how long it's taken in the past and this amount of stuff feels like what used to be an E3 level firmware update, so if they get it out so soon that'd be great.

I'll try it after a fight or two.

 

[belvedere]

Just tried it with NMS. I haven't played in awhile but it doesn't seem to help at all.

 

[TalonJH]

I'm pleased to say that Idyllshire is 100% better in FFXIV.

It's a downtime though right now.
Excalibur server if interested.

Someone mentioned sleeping dogs on an earlier page... maybe search for it. JC3 has a thread and apparently has a huge boost.

 

[S1kkZ]

it dropped to 25-27 fps during combat, while the x1 version was mostly solid 30 fps.

 

[Fess]

This is seriously the best thing to happen to the console scene in a long time!
And it's a stealth beta feature!?

I'm pissed that they try to trick me into ditching my 3 y.o. console but right now I'm thinking that the day this is officially released for everyone is the day I'm jumping off the fence and buying a Pro. The upgrade finally acts like a proper upgrade, buy a new GPU and all your PC games will run smoother, buy a PS4 Pro and start Boost mode and all your PS4 games will run smoother. This is exactly how I want it!

 

[Primethius]

Dragon Quest Heroes: Much improved. A much better 60 FPS in the airship (weird hitching almost eliminated) and runs way better in the couple of challenge maps I tried.

 

[pswii60]

Sadly boost mode makes no difference to the occasional annoying stuttering issues that affect some areas on Shantae Half Genie Hero.

It's not like the game is pushing the hardware (fans are silent) so not sure why that happens on certain levels.

I guess this feature is still in development. Maybe in the future, the games gonna run better than today and increase the stability/FPS

Loading times improved? Thank God.

I'm playing that right now (I'm in Velen) and getting the reload screen means I get up and do something else for a while. It's ... real bad.

There's this one mission where I was trying to keep an incredibly fragile NPC alive (

Spoiler

Bitter Harvest

) and every failure started at least two minutes of loading time.

Probably a coding issue. Boost mode will not help with any coding related problem, be random stutters, framepacing,etc

Time to replay Bloodborne on a boosted PS4 Pro!

 

[thatJohann]

Im using boost mode on just started the Ghost Recon wildlands beta and cutscene is playing and audio cuts out occasionally, i wonder if its due to boost mode.

It should already have pro benefits since it's a newer game right? Probably beta problems.

 

[Primethius]

Rainbow 6: Siege: Terrorist hunt mode, v-sync off, hovers around 80-90FPS at all times, up from the 40-45 of the base PS4.

Ghost Recon: Wildlands is confirmed to have Pro support, though the beta may not.

Why are you using boost mode? The beta is Pro enhanced, afaik.

 

[LichtenbergFigures]

They alread have. Soma crashes to dashboard with boost mode activated.

Not true for me. Soma worked, but the framerate was appalling with beast mode, worse than before. I'm drunk so I'll have to do better comparisons tomorrow.

 

[Ferr986]

I don't think boost mode triggers with Pro patched games, right?

JESUS CHRIST

 

[thatJohann]

gotcha, well i just have the Boost mode setting permanently on. Wasn't sure if Wildlands beta had Pro support or not. Maybe its a problem related to the wildlands beta and not the Boost mode.

LOTS of tearing though.

 

[Xenoblade]

Borderlands Handsome collection 2p splitscreen?

 

[Primethius]

LOTS of tearing though.

Yeeeeep. And what sucks is enabling the v-sync locks it down to 30 rather than 60 FPS. So a large part of the benefit is wasted due to the already existing tearing.

 

[JamboGT]

LOTS of tearing though.

V-sync should lock it to 60 and fix that though?

edit: ahhh, boooo

 

[Backfoggen]

Im using boost mode on just started the Ghost Recon wildlands beta and cutscene is playing and audio cuts out occasionally, i wonder if its due to boost mode.

I'm pretty sure that game already has Pro support. It looked like it was running at a higher res than 1080p to me anyways.

perfect 60fps and no screen tearing during the hectic city areas

 

[Primethius]

I think most other games have been tested. If people want me to check some out, let me know and I'll see if I have said game.

 

[Mr_Kuschels]

Didnt Bioshock Remastered run pretty badly. I'm wondering if it improves with 4.5. Anyone can check?
