The upgrades in boost mode are smaller than the upgrades on Pro patched games.
Yes, but they help with games that don't have a pro patch, or in the case of Fallout 4, it's actually better in beast mode without the pro patch.

How anyone could prefer beast mode Fallout to the improvements with the Pro patch is beyond me.
No, it's not "better".

It runs a few frames smoother yet doesn't have the increased resolution, draw distance etc.
Not better at all.

That's disgusting. It's a shame to see devs being so out of touch with their fanbase and the actual reality of the 1080P world we live in.
A real 4K machine this thing is not. But it could be an ideal 1080P machine.

This makes me very sad. What's the point of the Pro update for people without 4K TVs then??
Will there be increased AF? Maybe an AA option?
Some games that launched before Pro simply got a minimum effort patch.
So if down sampling from 4k causes too many issues, some developers are just disabling that option instead of spending time optimizing it.

What possible issue could it be causing though? Is downsampling not free from cpu /gpu resources used perspective?

This is why I bought a 4K TV a couple weeks ago. Fucking tired of this shit happening over and over again with games I'm interested in.

First, that TV is frikin GORGEOUS. Second, you 100% should go for it. The thing just came out and if a team has a full development cycle to actually build it to take advantage of the extra power we'll start seeing some REALLY good differentiators in the next 24 months. Every game that's come out so far has just been "patched" near end or after its release.

Go Go Neo Rangers!
I've literally spent the entire weekend just watching Blu rays. I want to watch everything ever made on this thing. It's like looking into your dreams.
I'm thinking Horizon Zero Dawn will be the first game that reallt takes advantage of the pro. Am i wrong to assume that?

I need some advice
I've put £350 away for a pro and today when i went to check for a place to buy one they all seem out of stock, so my question is this, I need to have a ps4 before horizon comes out NEED! Is the pro that big of a jump from a normal one?
I own a 4k hdr tv, so do i wait and hopefully get one or get a normal one and buy games with the change?

Depends on what you NEED more - the improved visual quality or Horizon at launch and not any later. I for myself would wait a bit longer if neccessary, but maybe you don't have to since they are more and more available - in fact, they are right now in GB.
Well id rather the improved performance for sure!
That link only shows one site at the original RRP of £350, and they're out of stock

If you are on a 4k hdr tv get the pro.
Horizon offers an improved image quality and draw distance on the pro.
Screencap from a YT video, so...

I do really want one, its just a bloody case of finding one!

Excellent.
Sorry didn't check too closely, sucks when shops misreport availability to meta price search. But should still be available again soon.That link only shows one site at the original RRP of £350, and they're out of stock
Wife recently decided to buy a PS4 Pro as her console.I wasn't planing on going 4K so soon but I have a reason to now. I'm eyeing a UN40KU6290 40-inch as a start that can double as a monitor for me in the future. Regarding the PS4 PRO, is it worth aiming to use 4K with a set that as far as I can understand doesn't offer full HDR?

In regards to the PS4 Pro Rocket League update coming out tomorrow.
So I finally managed to find a place with a pro in stock...now I've not been paying much attention to pro news as of late.....but I do feel a bit stupid.
As soon as i got home i downloaded games that i saw were affected by the boost mode, only to not be able to find it in the settings.....the system update isnt released yet is it? how are you all using it?!

I'm guessing you're not on the software beta? You'll have to wait until the fw is released officially. The date yet but it shouldn't be long...

Sounds to me like he's hinting it will be addressed in a future firmware update. At least he answered the question unlike ND.

I'm thinking about getting the Asus MX27UQ for the PS4 Pro. Any owners of the monitor here?

I have a 55 inch 6290. While the HDR is not true HDR the picture on this tv is fantastic. It's a VA so it has nice blacks, high contrast, and low input lag. It's awesome for gaming. I'm blown away by 4k content on it. Can't wait for Horizon. I could not justify the price for a higher end model with better HDR. This will do nicely til HDR is more fleshed out and lower priced TVs have full support.
Although for that size you might be better off with a Sony 800d 43 inch. It has better HDR support.

Is boost mode available for Europe? I'm in the UK but I can't find it no matter what I've looked everywhere and just can't seem to see it anywhere. Also says I have the latest update. Faster load times would be amazing. Sorry having read everything previous, on mobile unfortunately.

You will only have the 4.5 update if you are a preview member.
It's only available in the beta firmware. You have to have signed up to be a beta tester.
You just need to wait for the official 4.50 firmware release. Most likely next month.

Oh that's too bad. Playing minor loading times over the long run can be very annoying
I have a 1080p. I'm not going to upgrade it. I wish more pro games would support the 1080p owners better. Like epic does with paragon.I have a 1080p monitor, and my PlayStation 4 Pro bit me today. Buyer beware.

So i'll be getting a Pro either next week or at the end of next month and i'll be getting a 4k tv to play it on too, thing is i don't have a big budget for the t.v and don't really know what i'm looking for. All I know is HDR is important lol.

Samsung UE40KU6400 40" 4K HDR Ultra-HD Flat Smart LED TV 1500 PQI Silver
LG 43UH603V 43 inch Ultra HD 4K Smart TV WebOS
Are they good for the price d'ya think? Any advice or experience with budget 4k tv's?

I've been playing it quite extensively for the past two weeks on a 4K tv. The game looks gorgeous especially with HDR. Performance wise it's much better than it was before, although there are occasional stutters when you walk through prague. The missions exhibit no noticable dips.
I'd highly recommend checking it out.
Thanks! I have it on PC, but can only get it on my 4k TV via Steam Link, which means no 4k and no HDR. Toying with the idea of double-dipping while it's on sale, as I haven't started it yet.
Don't know whether 4k and HDR is better than 60fps and probably better textures/effects.
