Huge upgrade in performance
Image quality has improved with supersampling for 1080p owners
50% frame-rate increase in worst-case scenario (30fps on base - 45fps on Pro)
If base model is in the 40s, the Pro is usually locked at 60fps

 

[adamsapple]

Whelp .. it's not a rock solid 60 but it's still a huge improvement in performance while running at a higher resolution.

Good all around.

 

[psychotron]

This is what we should be seeing across the board. Good going Dice!

 

[Equanimity]

Yep. Pro is has a huge boost in frame-rate and resolution over the base model. Plus it has additional graphical features.

 

[Backfoggen]

Standard PS4 should really run better.

 

[bombshell]

Great Pro support from DICE even though they don't (can't?) talk about it.

Standard PS4 should really run better.

It runs about the same as Xbox One in a higher resolution.

 

[MetalGearZed]

Wow. you get like a boost of 10-15fps in most instances. great work Dice

 

[Timu]

Now this is how you take advantage of the PS4 Pro!

 

[Caayn]

Standard PS4 should really run better.

Not with that CPU.

 

[shinobi602]

Even though it's still not a locked 60, that's a huge upgrade in terms of performance.

 

[OldRoutes]

I can't watch the video right now and I'm a bit behind news-wise, but was there an official statement on those performance enhancement for multiplayer?

Would it make it unfair for PS4 users to play against PS4 Pro users, for example?

 

[RoboPlato]

The performance increase is actually quite a bit larger than I was expecting. Very nice.

 

[Kralamoonard]

Is it just the conquest 64 player mode that has dips? I assume TDM and other game modes don't? I say this because my experience with BF4 was mostly Rush and TDM due to how unstable Conquest was, so I'm hoping it's the same here.

 

[Always-honest]

Great!

Spoiler

Probably a short thread.

 

[ManUnkindH]

So is this test made with the patch they released today or pre-patch? Can't watch the video right now.

 

[bombshell]

Target framerate is the same, so no.

Both versions target 60, Pro is just better at maintaining that target.

I haven't noticed any frame-rate issues on TDM, Rush or Domination.

 

[Confused Cheeseburger]

Huge gains.

I think I'll just stick with titanfall 2 tho. I have both but I have so much to play that juggling 3 shooters is tiring.

 

[Floex]

Yes, this is great news but this going to change MP for OG PS4 players. From the get go you'll be at a disadvantage

 

[nashman]

My KDR was about .8 on OG. On Pro approx 1.2 so far.

 

[bananafactory]

Yes, this is great news but this going to change MP for OG PS4 players. From the get go you'll be at a disadvantage

Your framerate already varies depending where you are on the map and what effects are on your screen. Even on the same system

 

[swearing-circle]

I thought multiplayer games weren't getting any pro enhancements? Or did that change? Just curious.

 

[AEREC]

This has made the Pro worth it for me. BF on the ogPS4 was barely playable at times.

 

[Maxximo]

Better resolution and better framerate. Nice advantage against standard ps4 users.

 

[AEREC]

I thought multiplayer games weren't getting any pro enhancements? Or did that change. Just curious.

It all depends on targeted framerate. For BF1 it's 60 but it rarely ever hits that target on the PS4.

 

[viHuGi]

Does this have the latest update? If it does not then it means very little.

 

[ManUnkindH]

Does this have the latest update? If it does not then it means very little.

yeah, this is extremely important, did they say anything in the video about the patch?

 

[OldMan]

Huge gains.

Ha, try four.

Furthermore why I should get a Pro. FUCK.

 

[Gunslinger]

Perfect! Now just add in the HDR and we good money!

 

[-griffy-]

yeah, this is extremely important, did they say anything in the video about the patch?

It presumably doesn't, patch just hit today and the video went up minutes ago. Recording, editing and analyzing the footage wouldn't have gotten done just in this morning.

 

[JetSetRadio]

The only BC game worth upgrading for so far?

 

[Haines]

So none of the effects enhancements like the single player got made it to mp?

 

[Trace]

This is what every PS4 Pro game should look like once devs get a better handle on the hardware.

 

[grandwizard]

So much for the level playing field.

 

[Gitaroo]

still, I would love a 1080p locked version with higher graphical setting.

 

[black070]

Boo ! Somebody bump the Watch Dogs thread back up.

 

[adamsapple]

This is what every PS4 Pro game should look like once devs get a better handle on the hardware.

Yeah, hopefully. At the very least the updates should carry on, or even get better, on all future games running on this engine (looking at you ME: A).

 

[RedAssedApe]

So much for the level playing field.

its variable 60fps :shrugs:

 

[SeeNoWeevil]

The Pro must be severely CPU limited otherwise it makes zero sense to be downsampling when you're not hitting your target framerate.

 

[Trace]

The Pro must be severely CPU limited otherwise it makes zero sense to be downsampling when you're not hitting your target framerate.

Or maybe, much like the base game, they're not going for locked 60 at the expense of everything else.

 

[Old Gimlet Eyes]

This is the reason why I bought a Pro this weekend. Based DICE.

 

[RoboPlato]

The Pro must be severely CPU limited otherwise it makes zero sense to be downsampling when you're not hitting your target framerate.

That's exactly what it is.

 

[bananafactory]

The Pro must be severely CPU limited otherwise it makes zero sense to be downsampling when you're not hitting your target framerate.

Same CPU as the original ps4 which was already getting bottlenecked by it with games like AC Unity years ago

 

[majik13]

Yep. Pro is has a huge boost in frame-rate and resolution over the base model. Plus it has additional graphical features.

what are the additional graphical features? In MP or just SP?

 

[KiefbladeMaster]

So you can get past the same performance cert issue by saying it 'targets' a certain framerate, even if the Pro version performance is always better? Weird, but okay.

 

[jelly]

Why are we still saluting DICE for inconsistent and low multiplayer performance?

Sure the game looks nice but if you are targeting 60fps, shouldn't we be applauding them when it's a consistent 60fps.

 

[Equanimity]

what are the additional graphical features? In MP or just SP?

I assume the upgrade in graphical features from SP would carry over to the MP as well.

- Increased alpha effects
- Texture details locked at high, upgrade from base PS4
- Terrain quality gets upgrade from base PS4

 

[Jack Scofield]

So much for the level playing field.

It was never a level playing field. Even if the Pro didn't exist, different players have different framerates depending on where they are on the map and what is happening around them.

 

[PackAPunchedMick]

Why no numbers for the resolution? "supersampled" isn't enough!!! we need numbers.
