That's not dropped frames, it's slowdown and it's done on purpose. According to Housemarque.
(did we have this conversation before?)
I'll try find a source if you don't believe me.

This is why whenever anybody asked if they should get a slim or Pro I always recommended the Pro. More power equals more options and leads to a better experience for us gamers.

This Evil Within news is great i just started playing it. Anyone know how long it normally takes to go from Beta to release with these udpates?

Yep! The letter boxing is only there in the first place to help the frame rate.

Guys those that have the beta have an abligation to test. Now get to it! 😜
This seems HUGE.
Watch it be a placebo effect
I don't see why it would be placebo
Playing the same game at the same settings while going from a 1.8TF GPU and 1.6Ghz CPU to a 4.2TF GPU with a 2.1GHz CPU and slightly faster RAM should net you some noticeable gains (if the boost mode really takes full advantage of the Pro obviously)
Even with framerate capped games, maintaining a locked 30 instead of dropping to, for example, 25 would be great

PS4 PRO PURCHASE REDEEMED
HAHA. Please let it work for Bloodborne.
HAHA. Please let it work for Bloodborne.
Sony themselves said this was not going to happen! And I have a 720p set so I was like "$200 more? nah fam". Hahaha. I'm fuming.

Wouldn't Fallout 4 extremely benefit from this?
In what place? Can't remember where the fps was bad and so
While the Pro basically adds a 2nd GPU "core", AFAIK the code change needed to make a game use it is quite simple because there's a "load balancer" that handles that (the OG PS4 actually already have that in place, but it did nothing because there was only one "core"), so making the OS force both cores to be used shouldn't be too hard on Sony's side: I think the problem was making sure doing so wouldn't break a significant number of games.
But there's the chance all this does is enable the higher CPU clock and doesn't touch the GPU, so gains wouldn't be too dramatic.
Really anxious for your impressions. May be the game I'm looking forward the most to see the upgrades.

It's getting a Pro patch so it wont matter soon.
beast mode only applies to non Pro patched games
~1 month.
Try in Novigrad market daytime.
This was my first thought when Boost Mode popped up today.
It has a Pro patch.

Boost power. F-Zero NX coming to PS4 Pro.
Asked this a few pages back. It should help it significantly but it's also getting a dedicated Pro patch that's also adding effects and draw distance, just like Skyrim. It's a good question.
fuck yes! I can't wait to start another playthrough of this now, glad i didn't start it already

Someone has to try Until Dawn and see if there are differences.
