That's pretty damn low for a game that claims to run at 4K on Xbox One X.

Yes you can. on both 1080p and 4K screens, all 3 options are selectable from the menu in game.
You are right, just finished downloading the patch and saw this options
Has the 4k option improved? Or does still have a bad framerate?

The framerate is relatively fine, the problem is the frame pacing which is still bad and makes the game really stuttery.
Some people said that they got used to it, i never did and after a few hours i switched to the high framerate mode.

Thanks! I added a couple VR games today, but didn't have a chance to get to this one. I'll add it soon.
Well, remember that Microsoft's official terms "True 4K" and "4K Ultra HD" both include dynamic resolution methods. It's a fair bet that Shadow of War will use that...though I also believe it'll be much closer to 2160p more of the time, given One X's power advantage over the Pro.
Thanks to laudably quick action by Y2Kev, I've avoided the space constraints for now by splitting out VR into its own list. This means there are three posts to check when looking for games now, and each one is increasingly unwieldy for eyeball search. Therefore I've added a banner linked to the search how-to right at the top of the OP. I also rewrote and rearranged other OP content--like the post counts that have been changed due to the reformat--and added a few VR games to the list.
Any suggestions, comments, or screenshots and video are welcome as ever. Thanks!

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Echoing this.
On the official PS4 website's page, there's no Pro enhanced icons on it unlike other games (eg RE7): https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/games/the-evil-within-2-ps4/
Will be a huge disappointment if this comes with no Pro support.

How the hell can any game big game release today without Pro support?
Funny enough US PlayStation has the pro enchanced label

You're right. Really bizarre.
We already know the game's supposed to be Xbox X enhanced to 4K and whatnot, but it would be nice if Tango or Bathesda had given some information on the Pro enhancements too.
I guess we're gonna have to wait till more people have copies or if DF or NXGamer do a video first.
Yep contradictions everywhere, makes it hard to determine who is right. I guess different regions of PlayStation dont operate on a universal thinking pattern.You're right. Really bizarre.

Even within a single region, you should not draw conclusions from this tagging. There are multiple games which have Pro support but no logo, and even a couple which have (or had) the logo but no support. Accuracy is very low.

DF just uploaded a video which confirms that Evil Within 2 has no Pro support at all. Pretty disappointing.

Any idea what the enhancements are for Danganronpa: Ultra Despair Girls?
BTW, incredible thread OP. It's been very beneficial to me.

Guess Im skipping tew2 until they put something out
There was a few updates which ended up with a native 4K resolution as well as other improvements. It looks absolutely stunning now.
The Division: Native 4K on PS4Pro is a reality? - NX Gamer

It's present in the lists, under Tom Clancy's The Division. It has enhanced lighting and shadow resolution on Pro, as well as improved framerate. The overall resolution is about 2950x1660, then using some form of temporal reconstruction to generate a 4K framebuffer. It can fall apart and cause lots of artifacts in some hectic situations, but it looks quite nice a lot of the time.
It's not native 4K. It uses temporal accumulation of some sort to achieve the higher resolution.

Ahaa it does make the game look stunning indeed! Gave me a whole new experience
thanks guysThis!
Looks lovely as well!! One of my favourite PS4 Pro boosts.
pretty done

Just don't buy shoddy work. There's too many games for me to play any that don't support my hardware.
Ah, OK. I'd always understood that it was native. If I'm being honest I've probably only played it for about an hour after the update where I just walked around and admired the view and it looked wonderful to me.
I imagine that you're right though, although it looked amazing I would have always suggested that a native 4K would have been too much to ask for with that game on the Pro.

Amen to that. Ive been picky about that this gen.

I DOnt understand how this game has such bluries LOW Rez Grass..... its like the worst grass Ive seen in a long time on curent Gen games....Just wierd, makes no sence.
That small change alone would make this look better !
There's a lot of it though! I'm sure it would effect performance. Looks fine when you're playing though, and trees etc. look great. Doesn't compare to the trees/grass on HZD though.

Just skip it until the game is cheaper and actually has support. I did that with PREY and I'll do that with any game with no Pro support.
New patch just released for LiS:Before the Storm with enhanced resolution support for Ps4 Pro. Not at home at the moment so haven't been able to try it out yet.

I'm downloading right now (2.5GB update), i'll be able to post screenshots after.
EDIT. Finished downloading.
On 1080p screens nothing changed, 1080p 60fps with NO option for downsampling.
On 4K screens the game now let's you choose between "High Resolution" and "High Framerate" in the menu under video settings.
My pixel count gave me a 1440p image for the high resolution mode, but the framerate seems to be 30fps.

Usually you have to adjust the gamma settings in the options in most games to get the balance right. Some games have a calibration on startup which is very helpful gt sport and mass effect Andromeda do from memory.

It's sad but these days it's often best not to be an early adapter of any game. There's always performance and improvement patches coming out days/weeks after release. In this case, the screen shots don't show a huge difference but if the frame rate is locked to 30 and not unlocked, I'll take it with the higher resolution.
Not picking up The Evil Within 2 for the same reason. I'll either wait till there's a Pro patch or the game hits $29.99 or less.

I can't be sure if it's actually locked at 30 or unlocked overing around 35, my eyes are not that good unfortunately, but it's definitely far from 60.
The high framerate mode, which was the only mode before this patch, is a solid 60fps.

Tomb raider, wipeout, gran tursimo, Infinite warfare campaign, looked great. imo

AC: Unity actually plays well on it. Its not the new hotness but the game is still gorgeous.
Don't remember if it got any specific Pro support, or if Boost mode alone was able to smooth out so many of the kinks.
Final Fantasy XV
Uncharted 4
Uncharted The Lost Legacy
FFXV looks significantly better than it does on standard PS4. The two Uncharteds don't improve that much on PS4 Pro, but they are imo beside Horizon the prettiest games on PS4/PS4 Pro.

No pro patch but boost mode did indeed smooth it out to the point where it's almost perfect. Syndicate got pro patched to 1800p checker board I believe as well, but it's nowhere near the looker unity is

Ratchet and Clank is pretty much CGI in real-time. Definitely give it a go as a showcase. The upcoming GT Sport will be a good one too.
Gran Turismo Sport melted me eyes clean from socket
Hellblade, Uncharted 4, Uncharted Lost Legacy, Ratchet & Clank, FFXV all look gorgeous
Nooooo please buy evil within lol. Supporting a quality title in a decaying genre is more important than boycotting a game that doesn't have checkerboard rendering.
Mass Effect, The Division, Infamous Second Son.
So, two games not on either the Boost Mode or regular list (for perhaps unsurprising reasons), that I wanted to try and capture some screenshots for: Yakuza Ishin! and Tales of Zestiria (PS4 Version).
Sadly, neither allow use of the PS4's screenshot functionality, at least prior to NG+, and Remote Play screenshots don't really do the job without noticeable compression, even at the '1080p' setting:
After a little searching I found what I would guess to be direct capture or at least better quality screenshots of the PS4 versions of each game:
Both seem to run at 1080p, which makes sense, seeing as these are cross-gen games, and while Yakuza targets 60fps Zestiria targets 30fps. As far as I could tell in the bit I've played of both, neither seems to have other performance problems, though I have a hunch just from looking at it that the HUD in Zestiria is still 720p, or lower than 1080p at least. Not familiar with how to do pixel counting myself, but hopefully this is somewhat helpful.
Cap my framerate if old.

The surge makes the jump from 30 to 60fps of you choose the performance mode.
Id say both uncharted games are excellent showcases too especially if you have a hdr tv
