Perhaps someone could test games with unlocked framerates?

Infamous Second Son and First Light would be great candidates.

Just because some games have a "pro" patch doesn't mean they won't benefit from Boost mode. It would depend on what the developer added or tweaked for the Pro patch.

Lets say for instance, Overwatch. If that had some slight dips here and there. The boost mode could help because pretty much the only thing Blizzard added to that pro patch was improved AF and a few minor things. They didn't spend much time with the Pro patch at all. Therefore you could technically see an improvement with Boost mode right? In theory. That was a bad example because Overwatch is silky 60 all the time. You get what I'm saying though.

DAMN!! Much better!!!


Playstation FW 4.5 [OT] Blood-Starved Boost

 

[Ozorov]

The loading times is all from slightly better to much better while in BEAST-mode vs Normal mode

 

[Primethius]

Someone test Rocket League. I need to know if it's stable 60 on some of those stages or not.

 

[Zurick]

I don't see any difference, except maybe the little bit of stuttering when you approach the door at the start.

Seems like a noticeable difference when the shit spawns

Both have Pro patches, and thus won't benefit.

those games are already Pro patched. but perhaps...

 

[TalonJH]

110fps? this is stupid i´m sorry but why isn´t there a lock for 60fps? One thing i love about console gaming is that i know everyone is at the same playing field but now we have people playing at 110fps?

To be fair, it only hit 110 when staring at the floor. I think it was normally in the 80s.

That is a big difference IMO, night and day.

Now I will actually play bloodborne

 

[Slackbladder]

Hmm. The Pro certainly got me interested in PS4 gaming again after playing on PC. This update would certainly add to that. All that really puts me off console gaming is the price of games compared to PC (though it's not always a huge gap). But I can see myself now getting a few more PS4 only games to add to my slim collection.

 

[MisterXDTV]

Infamous Second Son and First Light would be great candidates.

They have got amazing PRO patches already!

 

[Ferr986]

Take in mind that theres nothing that come close to Witches framerate drops in Bloodborne, is a special case in how bad it runs. But yeah Beast mode helps there, compared to regular areas.

I'm gonna do some Coop now.

[Mung]

Also gave Bloodborne a try just for the hell of it, runs like complete arse as expected. The framepacing is so bad it will always feel like it is running at 20FPS to me. I just can't play the damn game because of it.

Come on man. You're missing out on perhaps the GOTG because of frame pacing? Feel bad for you.

 

[dark10x]

Dang, missing out on these tests! I really need to get beta access somehow...

My bad. Killzone maybe?

I was wondering about that, too. The Division has a Pro patch, it only gives the user a 4K UI. I don't see why Boost Mode couldn't improve performance.

That's weird, I've never seen it do that..ever

 

[TalonJH]

Infamous Second Son and First Light would be great candidates.

They have pro patches and a fps mode where they run around 60. The best way to play them for sure.

 

[Izuna]

Looks like I'm gunna try buy a Pro again!

Damnit

Thankfully the PS4 I have has like £100 trade in value so I didn't waste anything. I can sell the controller that comes with one since I bought a new white one too. So that's like 200 I wanna find.

Maybe I'll wait for the supersampling fix?

[AngelOFDeath]

Someone should really give up a code that hasn't redeemed... or hell donate their Pro to them

 

[Ferr986]

So this is pretty definitive, new thread worthy?

I don't think so. This is a EXTREME case, the biggest problem in regular play is framepacing, and that isn't fixed.

Check out my first video of Old Yharnan, barely a difference.

That's weird, I've never seen it do that..ever

It only happens with Chalice witches, not in the regular boss. Also the room they are placed may be a factor too.

Yeah, but no. A game with the pro patch is running at full clock speed. This Boost option is just increasing clock speed for unmatched games. So you won't see any difference on a game with the Pro patch no matter how little the patch does.

 

[finalflame]

Holy motherfucking shit, this is huge. Can't wait to be back home to my PS4 Pro and take Bloodborne for another spin.

boost mode will have no effect on games with a pro mode

[Carn82]

I haven't touched the Witcher 3 expanions... yet

Do know, Blood and wine already runs a solid 30 fps because it uses an improved engine.

 

[Sephzilla]

I don't think so. This is a EXTREME case, the biggest problem in reuglar play is famepacing, and that isn't fixed.

Check out my first video of Old Yharnan, barely a difference.

Any chance you could possibly test out co-op or PVP? I always saw more noticeable dips when other players were involved

sony pls

yes to 110fps lol
