I think the game has a lot of frame rate problems on the Pro as well. It was a shit Bioware port as usual

Was Everybody's Golf confirmed to be native 4K?
To me it has the most jaggies and shimmering I've seen in a Pro resolution enhanced game. (Still looks great otherwise).

I was under the impression it was still significantly better than on the base model though. I haven't played it though.
I have tried Horizon and it's another one that looks fantastic, I've worked my way through all the listed HDR games so I'm wanting more now.
EDIT:
I'm really hoping that the Witcher 3 patch also includes HDR optimisation, I think it would really add to some of the environments.
EDIT 2:
I've started checking a few games for HDR. If there's no HDR switch then I play them in AUTO mode and see what picture format it's using then switch manually between the GAME and HDR GAME modes to compare them.
- Project Cars 2 (Automatic HDR)
- Redout: Lightspeed Edition (Automatic HDR)
- Knack 2 (Selectable HDR)
Looks great on my TV, no jaggies at all. Try turning the sharpness setting down as this can sometimes have that effect,
Nah. I played it right through and the frame rate is really good on Pro.
Agreed. Around launch there were a few dips here and there but that was addressed with a patch a long time ago.
Can't vouch for PS4 vanilla but P.Cars 2 on PS4 Pro has HDR I can confirm 100%
I just returned PC2 myself, so can't look in to this more... but the opening video and in game 'cutscenes' were horribly gray looking to me on my Pro/KS9000. Did you notice anything at all like that in your experience with it? I found it so odd. Thought I had messed up some TV settings or something. During actual races, though, it looked fine!

That gets me kinda annoyed about YS.
It was advertised as 4k for months. 1800p is great and all - it's not a huge difference at the end of the day - but I'm getting annoyed with how often I have to check threads like this to see if something is actually 4k.
I was the one who mentioned HDR support in the game earlier in the thread.
I've not actually played the game properly, it's more that I've tested it by racing in different conditions. What I have found is that the HDR isn't particularly strong in this game and I've tried to test things like lighting but I'm only seeing a moderate change between when I run it in SDR and HDR.
For me, both SDR and HDR versions look fine though but it doesn't seem to be a particularly well-implemented application of HDR.
Is that something you feel yourself? Did you find the HDR while racing to be pretty mild?
Maybe there's actually a bug with the HDR implementation for you and me.
Still no info/news about the Witcher 3 Pro patch? Even after it was supposed to come out in "a few days"?
I hope whatever they are doing, there will be downsampling on 1080p TVs...
I'm wondering too as I've been holding off on playing the game. I'm betting they won't release it until the XoX update is rolled out.

Was there any updated footage for this since e3?

Any word yet on what the Pro enhancements are for Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen?
I suspect it's already done, but they won't release it until the xb1x patch is out.Still no info/news about the Witcher 3 Pro patch? Even after it was supposed to come out in "a few days"?

Right now we have 1440p x 30 FPS unconfirmed

Probably just display 1080p. Its either 1080 or 2160

That's way sooner than I expected! Can anyone provide screens?
I expect 1440p tops with no other techniques applied, but I guess we'll see

Some quick n dirty snaps from the first 5 mins of the game with the Pro patch, hopefully Liabe Brave can help:
1080p PNG's
4k JPG's for helping with pixel count if there's a resolution bump:

I can't pixel count, but those 4K screens look really damn nice. There's a definitely a res bump in sight.

Nice! I'll try to get some screen shots too when i finally wake up lol
Yeah, I've just finished testing it myself. Such a shame, the game would have really benefited from it due to the lighting system in the game.

Just learned how to pixel count (it's super easy!) and am getting what appears to be 1800p for The Witcher 3.

That's a pretty significant bump. Can you determine if there's any checker board rendering going on ?

I cannot! That takes a super trained eye! All I did was follow DF's guide on how to pixel count.

That's still good enough and thanks for the quick pixel count
1080p to 1800p for a complex game like The Witcher 3 is an incredible bump. Good job CDPR.

Thats very exciting!!! Does it look like just a resolution bump?

Base Resolution and slight improvement in performance as per CDPR. No HDR options or higher resolution textures.

Update! I received some great screenshots of the Witcher 3!
I can now say, 100% sure, that the game is running at 2160p (on the edges)!
Whether or not it is just on the edges is not for me to discern!
Here is an image if you want to count yourself!

Thank fuck. I've just finished all the books plus the first two games in preparation.Multiple reports confirm supersampling is in for us 1080P HDTV peasants.

Thanks for the screens!
Did one last pixel count on the pic I quoted
That's 2160p right there, yesssss sirrrr
Just keep in mind that it only applies to the edges of the geo (or at least that's what it appears to be)
Very pleased with the efforts from CDPR!

I can confirm that Dark Arisen is 1440p.
I believe the game is native 4K, not using "geometry rendering" or CBR. For the latter, there are no speckle artifacts as typical (though there is a faint solid halo around some objects, leading me to believe some temporal effect may be in place). EDIT: Looking at NXGamer's video, his shots do seem to show CBR artifacts, even though I've not seen any of these in the shots posted to GAF. I stand by my belief that it's not geometry rendering (as detailed below), but it may be 2160c instead of 2160p.
As for the former, yes many of the textures don't appear very sharp, as we might expect if they were being shaded at a lower resolution. But at the very least, some textures are really being rendered at native 4K. Here's a massive zoom of one, showing that there are single-pixel details. This would be impossible if geometry rendering was used.
That said, I expect there's a mixture of techniques here, including some onscreen elements that are not full resolution. In addition to the textures, some foliage sprites seem to be anamorphic. In the below zoom, note in the tan grass how there are vertical details only a pixel tall, but all horizontal detail is two pixels wide.
However, this doesn't apply to all foliage. In another crop from the same screenshot, tree leaves do have details both one pixel wide and one pixel tall.
Differences may be due to very aggressive mipmap levels at the high framebuffer size. In any case, it's consonant with common efficiency methods in many games, where individual effects like shadows and particles are lower resolution than the overall image. As far as I can see, none of it points to The Witcher III actually running at something other than

If they're needed, i can provide native 4K screenshots from the PC version as reference.
