Seems locked 30 from what I played a couple of days ago. Didn't spend too much time on it, due to playing too much Skyrim. So take it with a grain of salt - even though I did notice the 1-3 fps drops in Skyrim a few days ago, so I should've noticed it in Deus Ex as well.

I'm in the exact same spot... I want a pro but it's hard decision to make with no 4k TV...

Yeah same, I have a serious day one tech addiction but it seems pointless until i have 4k
I mean, you're free to do whatever you want with your money, but this thread kinda proves that it's not "pointless."

What's weird to me is that Cerny used Knack in his presentation but i played it on the pro yesterday and it still looks jaggy as fuck. Especially after coming from Ratchet & Clank (goddamn that game is clean).
Didn't see any other update than a 1.01 update in the list of the game updates.

Pro patch for Knack isn't available yet for whatever reason.

I dont really see how though? Believe me, if I thought there was a decent benefit I would have gone out and got one (I have the cash saved) but I must be missing the footage showing the increased detail etc as I cant really find any on youtube etc. Am I missing something, please point me to it if I am lol

Don't mean to sound rude but have you read this thread?
I think Bungie specifically stated there will NOT be a patch.

Dumb question - I have a high-end Samsung TV that is around 3 years old - doesn't it already have HDR?
Is it 4K?
Deckard Chapel
Banned
No - but HDR has been around for a while, which is why I asked.
I don't remember HDR TV before 2015 (I might be wrong), so no, and they're only 4k.
You must be thinking of the other HDR.

Man, we're getting closer and closer to the dream of choosing lower visual quality in order to get better frame rate or vice-versa on consoles.
That's awesome.

So, is the upgrade worth it? I'm really not looking to drop $400 right after the PSVR if all we're looking at is some better average performance with no discernible visual upgrade unless you're on a 4K set.
Videos of Ratchet looked damn good but whether or not it looks that crisp on a regular 1080p set remains in question.

They seem eerily similar to me.

The downsampling is auto? You just have to select 1080p in the Ps4 video settings?
It looks really damn good. Absolutely worth it if you are into IQ and or higher framerates.

I hope all games going forward will have three visual enhancement options like Rise of the Tomb Raider.
I immediately noticed the difference with the enhanced visuals/30fps option on my Samsung 1080p
The image is just cleaner. The artifacting is gone. It's a richer and more detailed look, and Lara looks way better.

what? Right now?
yes. But some games have multiple 1080P options. So be sure to check the options.
But normally you'll get the downsampled graphics automatically.
Yep!
By the way, switching between the 3 modes in ROTTR can be done through the pause screen! Instant comparisons!! The high framerate looks so good too.

Yeah but I was trying to find some footage that shows the differences etc, couldnt find any though?

Yep, just tested it.
Clean at 30 and normal ps4 with some jaggies at 60.
Niiiice!!

Shame you have to restart the game to see the difference in Knack. It's an option before you play the game.

Wait, should I change my resolution to 1080p?

If you are on a 1080P screen? No. it goes automatically. But games like Tombraider have different options for 1080P.

I just bought a Pro and I'm still rocking a 1080p Pioneer 6020 plasma, though I do have plans to get a 4K display (probably an OLED but waiting to see what 2017 offers). I've seen enough between screenshots posted in the Pro OT and videos (DF, Gamersyde etc) that I felt like it was worth buying one. Especially since I'm a graphics junkie

Yes. I popped in R&C yesterday and Titanfall 2. Games automatically downsampled to 1080P and they look great.
Just popped in Knack and that games asks you if you want to play 30 fps high resolution (downscaled clean graphics on 1080P screen) or high framerate on normal old 1080P.
The game will ask you every time you start it up.

Glad to see Knack look better.

I hope more devs gives us options for 1080p. Pro could really shine in this aspect.

I really cant justify getting a Pro without a 4K. Its like getting in a Ferrari and doing 60MPH.
The devs have said there are not plans for Rise of Iron but they'll look at it for the future. IE Destiny 2, I don't expect a patch which is disappointing.

So apparently Batman Arkham VR looks better in PSVR on the Pro. It has not received a specific Pro patch.
Does that mean that all games inherently look better on the Pro? Or do they look literally exactly the same unless they're patched?

Guessing here, but maybe it launched with the Pro support included?

Strange thing is... I can choose 4K in Rotr on 1080p and the game looks razorsharp. Did I miss something here? Try it out in the menu btw, you'll notice immediately. Weird.
Other options also work btw ( 1080p unlocked and 1080p enhanced gfx... which I think is supersampling or am I wrong? )

Nice. I guess I'm finally going to finish the game.

No that's the downsampling mode.
That happens automatically on games that don't have the options like RotTR
