For patched games, I think it's automatic. Except a few games will let you pick what benefits you get (e.g., higher framerate vs. better visuals).

Anyone else concerned about the heat that the Pro puts out?
I have mine in a fairly small shelf that the front stays open. I used usb fans with the regular PS4 because it would just get too hot in there. I was hoping I wouldnt have to do that with the Pro but I definitely will need to I believe.
I might cut holes for the fans out of the back of the shelf and have the fans face the rear of the shelf to get the heat out quicker.

Heck your router or switch and make sure both support 1gbit Ethernet. You are transferring via 100mbit LAN.

Thank you! And the patches automatically download right? I don't remember any of the games I installed onto my pro getting a special patch but then again I wasn't paying too much attention so I might have missed them.
not really, loading times are also quicker on pro than OG Ps4 on both Black Ops 3 and Cod4R.

Just picked my ps4 pro up last night and played a few matches of Battlefield and the difference was very apparent. I have a 75 inch 4k tv, and with game mode enabled, the visual fidelity can noticeably take a dip. With the pro, the image quality is far far better than the original. I am really happy with it so far.

If it's inside a media cabinet it is going to be hotter. So yeah the fans going to blow harder. But it's still going to struggle with heat.
Even on 2.4 you should be getting better speed than that. Seems like maybe the location of your PS4 is for some reason getting very weak signal strength.

Surprisingly my pro has been quiet, it's like a world of difference compared to my launch PS4. And the wifi 5ghz speed have been better than I expected.
It's just regular update patch no need to worry, certain games got options in the menu. For instance: TLOU and First Light.
I actually swapped places with my old PS4 location and my center channel speaker because of this.
The PS4 Pro is now in a open area, the hot are being blown out when I had it in the partially enclosed space was a huge difference from the OG PS4

Did anyone try remote play with a PC or Mac ? how is it compared the the original PS4 ?
I know i had problems with it on regular PS4 and just stopped using it. Just want to know if it's better with the Pro ?

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I wish ubi went back and made a Pro patch for AC Unity 
Even after all the 8GB patches, the game is *still* a glitchy mess. Character never jumps in the direction I want them to, there's random frame drops when climbing and I've run into a good many visual bugs like NPC's walking through things, vertically walking upward etc.

Just been reading the Eurogamer article regarding PS4 Pro frame rate issues compared to the OG PS4
http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/d...-pro-titles-running-slower-than-base-hardware
It mentions the 1st level in Deus Ex Mankind Divided can drop to 20fps. Now it didn't mention if this drop only happens for 1080p users who are supersampling or if it happens for 4K users? Unless I missed it
Can anyone who has a 4K confirm?

My Pro seems to get louder faster than the original. I will agree that the wifi is much improved.
My Pro got pretty dang after only an hour or so playing Titanfall 2. I dont really have a place to put it in an open area at the moment.

In case it hasn't been mentioned yet, Rayman Legends looks amazing in 4K!!!! It doesn't even have a Pro patch and the game looks stunning on my LG 4K set!!!

Yeah thats whats puzzling me, PS4 Pro is saying the Wi-Fi signal strength is around 94%, I guess I might have to get one of those homeplugs and go wired.

How are you measuring your connection speed?

So does Guilty Gear Revelator!
None at all.
Yep. 55XD93.
Apparently bent sets aren't unheard of, but usually it's bent along the top, not up the sides. In a 3500 post thread on avforums they seem quite shocked lol.
Currys hopefully bringing a new on on Thursday.
I sent a tweet to Sony UK and they replied back saying they hope it gets fixed. I'll be doing the same again if it happens again in the hope of free stuff lol.
Was so looking forward to 4k HDR Ratchet too :-(.

Just did a speed test on my phone, on my 5ghz channel, in the same room as my PS4 Pro.
Rise of the Tomb Raider also loads much faster on the Pro.

Having a weird issue with my pro.
I get sound at the sign in screen, but once I sign in the sound cuts out. Sound comes back again when I launch games.
Tried 3 different hdmi cables and an optical cable and same thing. No idea what's up.

I have a hunch this was asked already... but can anyone speak to the enhancements for PlayStation VR when using the Pro? This is probably one of the biggest deciding factors...
Sounds like a handshaking issue with your TV and Pro
Check on a different TV if you can.

Loading up Overwatch last night- load times were definitely faster than OGPS4. The characters loaded noticeably quicker.
I think my teleports load about 2 seconds faster in FF14 too...

I mean did you use www.speedtest.net through the PS4 web browser or the crappy built-in PS4 connection test?
Yautja_Warrior

I did it through the PS4 Web browser yesterday and it was a bit faster than the connection test but still pretty low.
Will have to try it again in a little while to see if its any better than yesterday.
To my eye it looks "sharper" in the same sense that a sharpening filter makes something look higher contrast but sacrifices image quality in the process (and indeed, I get similar results by just turning up sharpening on my display.) I can't say I'm a huge fan of the 1080p presentation because it looks more artificial as a result, but everyone has their own preferences. There's nothing wrong with enjoying it in whatever form you prefer.
Question for those who have both a PS4 and a PS4 Pro - Can you sync the saves between the two consoles with PS Plus?
I'm thinking about buying a Pro before Persona 5 comes out, and putting the Pro in my office and taking the PS4 out to my living room. Would I be able to play my game on both?

You'll have to manually trigger the upload and download I believe.

I don't think this is what they meant by a curved TV. :|

Wow.. just wow

20 terá flops confirmed!
So I backed up to external and transferred over to the 2TB I had in my regular PS4. Everything, especially menus even when not even in a game, lags just as bad as the regular PS4. I thought the Pro would fix this for sure. Could it just be the hard drive? Or is it likely something with the build of my image being wonky from my original PS4? I've rebuilt database and it doesn't work at all.

Yes. Its no different from having two regular PS4's. Upload from primary PS4 to cloud, download from cloud to other PS4.

Wi-Fi Signal.
Connection Test
Web browser speed test.
Odd I'm still getting near full upload though on the browser test. Hell if I know what going on with it.

Question for you Pro owners. Does the PS4 Pro offer enhancements for recording/streaming? Say I wanted to stream to my PC, does it stream at 720p like the PS4 or can it stream at 1080p?
