Can someone try hyperdimension Neptunia VII in the area with cherry blossom trees. The framerate tanked every time there.
Somebody reported it worked better in stress test situations [rain racing].
There were reports here about better framerate in stress test situations [big shootouts and explosions in city centres], and better overall performance in GTAOnline.

Is there an official thread for the update and one for theexternal HDD support?

Yes! All those 5-10fps dips in the city and the crazier dips when things go BOOM in the middle of a couple dozen cars are now buttery smooth (in SP and GTA online).
It's on par with the boost to The Witcher 3, which has been super smooth in Novigrad and the swamp so far.
Thanks! Would have looked for it myself but thread searcher sadly aren't a thing on mobile.

Lol...if only!If you don't read them they don't exist
Trying to cover as many as possible, may do some individual videos first before a collective one. But please request here, twitter or my channel. I have Bloodborne, just cause 3, Ac Unity, Shadowfall, BF3 already on the go.

Good thing I've noticed is all the games my Pro remains quiet with are still quiet even with boost on. It's crazy how loud it can get when playing something like FF15 though *shrug*
Yakuza 0 was 60 already but you could tell certain long, busy streets would drop just enough or flicker to make you notice. Also not sure if the screen tearing was present in base ps4's but it was there for me. Heard a few other people chime in to say that.
Anyways, put 4 hours in today with Boost on. Fantastic. No tearing and the busy streets are butter now. All I needed! Yakuza 0 is such a treat

Doom is a smooth 60fps game that rarely drops below 1080p. Regular users here can rarely spot such dynamic resolution drops, better leave that to NXG and DF.

Heres A List Of PS4 Games That Have Been Tested Using Boost Mode; What Has Changed?
Sums up most of the games (using Neogaf posters' experience)
I didn't expect other features to get betetr like removing screen tearing and improving motion blur in some games.
There some games which runs worse in Bosst Mode though.

Fair
In addition to dynamic res in Doom, I would also like to see how W:TNO handles dynamic res in boost mode. I finished it after launch, and in some rare scenes I could see more aliasing due to res drop.

Soma is apparently the worst yet with crashes.

Besides Soma, Resident Evil Revelations 2 and Tembo the Badass Elephant have had crashes reported, though these may be unrelated to Boost mode.

I didn't record footage of Doom but it does run better. Couldn't tell you about the resolution because I mainly tested the final level but I didn't notice any drops where there were some before (when the trials get crazy at the end).

It may turn out to be significant, I can't test any of these myself. They're all just impressions, and as such they can be mistaken.
I will indeed update that thread, but not until the firmware is out of beta; I only put games in the lists if available to all players.
Since that will likely be several weeks, right now I'd suggest the Boost mode comparison thread from giancarlo123x.
Good one, haha
Lol. Same.
Which *new* games have shipped without Pro support since November? Super small indie games like life of black tiger don't count.

Batman: Return to Arkham had already FPS increase on PS4 PRO. I wonder how it runs now after the update. Maybe NXGamer or someone who has the game can tell us.
Is there an easy way to count FPS on PS4?

Glad to hear Boost Mode corrects the FPS dips in GTA V

Just a curious question. What about games that already got PS4 Support from the devs ? Does this update help to get better and smoother FPS for them?
Did anyone test a supported PS4 PRO game after this update?

Did you mean BF4? I'm really looking forward to that game's results. Love your content by the way, been subscribed for a bit.
Been rocking the OG PS4 since launch and have been ok without feeling the need for the Pro but honestly, after this development with the Boost mode I'm seriously thinking of trading my regular PS4 in for the Pro. Still using a 1080p set but I really want one for just the overall performance improvements.
Big fan of Battlefield 4 and Battlefield 1. Seeing how BF1 runs better on the Pro, and hopefully improved framerate in BF4 is pushing me to get one. Going to have to be later in the year though, just can't afford it right now.
If a game already had a Pro patch...Then it's already using the whole GPU and higher clocked CPU...This update will do NOTHING
Not necessarily a patch, just Pro support out of the box.
