PS4 firmware 4.50 add Boost Mode for PS4 Pro.

Destiny its pretty much solid 30 frames. It won't go beyond that.

It can get pretty crazy-hectic in a battle between several Void Warlocks throwing that Void Bomb around with the vortex perk like nothing, Titans going ham with the Hammer leaving sunspots all around the map. Add in some Sunsinger Warlocks, and you will have framerates tripping below 30 fps easily.

If Boost Mode locks the frames with all that going on, Destiny pvp matches are going to look awesome in motion.

Others games are saying loading time boost in Beast Mode... I think it is due having more CPU to make the transfer from HDD to memory.

Didn't many unpatched games already have considerably reduced loading times? I know The Witcher 3 already did. I wonder if boost mode will reduce them even more...

So again, if you want to see what this can do to a pro patched game, simply don't update the title, right? I'm looking at you, X-com.
 
Just cause - a revelation a different game.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Wooo Pro purchase just got even better!


If Bloodborne gets a significant boost Im going back for a 5th playthrough. Hopefully coop wont be a total shitshow now.
 
PS4 PRO BOOST MODE - RAINBOW SIX SIEGE - BOOSTING TO 110 FPS


(Not my footage)

I don't know much about the game but there's a tool in the bottom-left that tells you the FPS.

Not sure what the performance is like on PS4 Amateur (lol), but it seems to be pretty good in that footage, although he didn't do anything that could really impact performance

What the HELL UBISOFT!! Now I don't want an official patch. Let this be!!

Not that I don't appreciate all this documentation but is it true that there's an NDA? I don't want people getting banned lol.

no idea if its the right place of whateveah

OK beast mode is fantastic. Have tested

Until dawn - much better performance
Bloodborne - better still frame pacing issues though
Just cause - a revelation a different game.
Mad max - better performance
YAKUZA 0 - better when roaming city
Games seems smoother overall. perhaps where would of seen 1-2 frames dropped . (tried destiny)
Side note: vr 3d is fantastic.

I know it's already been said .. but DAYUM.. PS4 Pro is a boost !

I don't know if you see the difference, but you deffo feel it while playing

The judder is so obvious when Geralt jump swings the sword at the first thing (forgot what they're called).
