DF - COD Black Ops Cold War: PS4 Pro Beta - A Match For PC Max Settings?

Fake

Ahead of its release on November 13th we dip into Cold War's recent PS4 Pro beta to see how closely it compares to PC's best settings. Again we see the console target a sub-4K presentation - as with Black Ops 4 - but many of its effects get surprisingly close to PC, all the while locking to 60fps in most match types.
 
Looked like shit on my PS4 Pro, I'm sure it was a bug because the PS4 Pro version of Crysis Remastered looks the same with HDR enable
Pixelated is the only way to describe it as if it was Upscaled but the pixels didn't blur together and remained Sharp
Except PC players wont play at a locked 60 fps but at least twice so how is that a match and how is that title not dumb as shit?

They said it does, So why don't you ask DF about 120fps instead of insulting the OP?

Right PC players play at twice 60fps.....you know how many 120Hz+ monitors are in the wild percentage wise......hell just look at how many GPU/CPU combos would hit 120fps in a game like COD are actually out there.

Most....and not 51% a large large percentage of PC gamers game at 60fps.
 
Is the video title from Digital Foundry, not by me.

Yes I know, sorry, wasn't talking about your title but the videos one.

No they do not multiplayer wise, besides the fact that most lower all their video settings to play at as much frames per second as possible. Also 60hz gaming monitors these days are kinda obsolete. You need to stop living in 2010.

It doesn't matter, MW2019 looks like a generation apart from this crap.
Looks and plays are completely different. MW is a steaming geriatric camp fest that ruined absolutely everything good about Call of Duty from maps to challenges to prestige to perks. If this is your first Call of Duty or you struggle to crack 200spm on Black Ops 4 though this is probably the best shooter you've ever experienced. Safe spaces for everyone, even those without thumbs!

Again the majority of gamers even in MP games such as Call of Duty arent hunting 200fps.....120fps+ is still a niche perk....you need to look at the majority not the upper echelon.
Again look at the CPU/GPU combos that vastly outnumber the CPU/GPU combos that even could hit those high refreshrates.
They are playing the game for the game and play at whatever their monitor refresh rate is.....else they would all be running with xx80 cards not xx60 cards.

No it's not. It's common. Here are some facts for your stupid ranting:

The majority of steam gamers, aka the average gamer, has at least an 1060 gpu and are gaming at 1080p. https://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/Steam-Hardware-Software-Survey-Welcome-to-Steam Again, that's just an average gamer, not someone who cares much about high framerates and that gpu is quite old but even so it can output over 120fps.

So let me state it again, the majority of multiplayer gamers do not play on a 60hz monitor or at 60 frames per second. Thats just fucking stupid.

Your own video and post is actually disproving your point.
A 1060 which is the average isnt pushing 120fps averages at Max Settings?

A person who only has a 1060 isnt also buying a 120/144Hz screen.

And Ill state again for you that the majority of gamers have 60Hz screens.....120+ Hz hasnt become the norm yet.
If you think it has you are really really out of touch.

Well it's running at ~60fps with that 1060. Average 74fps with 1% running at 54fps, that's the equivalent of solid 60fps on consoles. If those consoles weren't capped at 60fps, the average fps would be >70fps too.

Ok you're just fucking stupid. Got it.
 
Well compare MW PC Ultra 4k vs console. I feel like going 2 generations back, Warzone isn't running locked 60fps either.
 
This thread is going to be full of holier then thou people that know so much more then people that do it for a living just like every single digital foundry thread that's not jerking off a 3090.

Ok you're just fucking stupid. Got it.
Are you sure he's the one that's stupid? The fact you jumped to putting other people down instead of trying to actually talk about something proves everything.
Your video didn't help prove any point. Stop looking within enthusiast forums, youtube, and twitch and you'll realize that 60hz is way more common then you seem to think. If we go based off of forums like this then everybody has a 2080ti and a 1440p 144hz 21:9 monitor too.

Can the 1060 push above 60fps? Absolutely. That does not mean that the majority of PC gamers are using above 60hz monitors... but you were also just trying to shit on console people most likely anyway.

We all know a high-end PC is far more capable than a PS4 Pro in every way. if the PS4 Pro is matching COD's ultra settings, then COD's ultra settings are not that ultra.

The fact that you don't need a PC for graphics anymore? And not everyone thinks that more than 60FPS is needed? Those are the reasons I could think of.

Just play what you prefer.

PC ultra hasn't really been "ultra" in years, from what I've heard high looks only slightly worse nowadays and that's really all you need.

Runs and looks great, that's all that matters. I really like where CoD is heading aesthetically recently with its PBR and toned, natural color palette, I'm a sucker for that kind of look.
 
So cold war is really a graphical downgrade on pc? Meh.

Glad I'll pass this garbage this year.
 
Looks and plays are completely different. MW is a steaming geriatric camp fest that ruined absolutely everything good about Call of Duty from maps to challenges to prestige to perks. If this is your first Call of Duty or you struggle to crack 200spm on Black Ops 4 though this is probably the best shooter you've ever experienced. Safe spaces for everyone, even those without thumbs!

Are we talking about this pride fest?

Treyarch can't even do a proper color palette, let alone a competent cod.

While I do agree with you, it is true that technically speaking Modern Warfare 2019 was really really impressive. The game looked amazing (although it was really obvious its relying heavily on post-processing, without the max AA settings the game's effects look like crap) and the sound was pretty damn near real, unusually for cod. Gameplay wise the MP played like a turd, I agree fully with that.

However, Black Ops Cold War will support DLSS 2.0, and as a 2060 owner thats making me foam at the mouth. Sounds amazing to have a locked 1080p 144hz high setting cod that looks BETTER than 1080p somehow.

After MW I cannot say that I ever want another cod with a realistic color palette again. One of the biggest issues in MW's MP and Warzone is that the visibility is absolutely AWFUL because everything blends in with the surroundings, meaning that there will be times where you get shot at and you legitimately cannot see where you are getting shot from. Treyarch makes the colors more vibrant to make visibility not complete ass. If anything Modern Warfare 2019 was a textbook example of why Infinity Ward hasn't been competent at anything since Modern Warfare 2.

so people with integrated graphics will play to 120fps? It's really pathetic, like some people thinks that all PC players have the latest and most powerful hardware
 
It's call of duty. It wouldn't surprise me if they have conformity when it comes to graphics. Activision don't care.
 
Look I understand the argument you want a colorful game in MP so you see your targets easier. But the last black ops was a complete circus of ass clown tomfoolery in the color department. Eye sore. MW look may be more grey and bleak but at least it looks somewhat believable in a war/gritty way. Again, leave those bright pinks, and neon colors for the fn circus, and fortnight shooters.

From my time with the alpha, this game isn't anywhere near the color vomit that BO4 was. Though that could easily come later on.
Worse than I could have imagined. Treyarch did nothing to upgrade the tech on their half of the franchise. I thought more was shared. This really shows a gap between the studios.
I love good looking games, but you know what I love more in MP shooters? Good map design. It's sad when the best maps in MW2019 are from the original trilogy. MW2019 has trash map design, and even the maps in the alpha for BOCW are a big upgrade.
 
anyone who plays FPS on PC is looking for 144fps. not 60 not 30. console can't compete

Anyone?
You think everyone is splurging on CPU/GPU/Monitor combos to hit 144Hz?

The steam survey begs to differ.

Yea... that's not true. Play games on PC at high res/high framerate/ultra or near-ultra and it just blows away what you can get on console no matter what Sony fanboys claim on this forum. If PS4 Pro is close to PC in 2020 then the PC version isn't well done.
