lets be honest if it is perfect Sony would have had this feature at launch. Before launch they mentioned making sure games ran as expected. They tested games without patches during development of the pro. There is a reason for the disclaimer and why it was not a feature at launch.

You will still need a patch for higher resolution but allowing OS wide supersampling is on the pipeline.

They need to advertise the shit out of this.
I doubt we will but others will upload videos and they may well comment indirectly on those videos, even if that's not the best way of doing things.

Already have a good one. Still can't play Bloodborne on it.

What If I already have one
Indeed. People act like console gamers don't also game on PC.
I have an i7-6700k with a 1070 and 32GB DDR4 and this is still exciting to me as a Pro owner.

Wow @ Just Cause 3 framerate improvement.
Now I'm jealous not being in the beta.
Would love to test many games all day long.

Why. It's possible it will break certain games (popular ones even). And future games will have pro modes during game dev.

Precisely. I'm just hoping that most of my games have no issues so I can leave the option on but I wouldn't be surprised to see some titles with a plethora of new issues such as the app crashing.

Right, I've had a mess around with boost mode for a few hours running games I've got that I know can be problematic. Non of this is science, just guess work!!!
Project Cars - Better, much better. Still frame rate issues in wet racing with lots on screen but its considerably better than before.
Bioshock Infinite - Pretty much a solid locked 60fps from the part I played. Could be different in other areas though maybe.
Darksiders 2 - Now locked 30FPS and screen tearing is gone
Lords Of The Fallen - Almost now a locked 30fps, screen tearing pretty much gone.
Tomb Raider - Now a pretty much solid 60FPS lock (not ROTTR here, the original reboot)
Sleeping Dogs - Still a bit rough when driving around, but much better and smoother on foot.
Evil Within - Great! Miles better than before!
COD Ghosts - Yes I know no one plays this anymore, but in multiplayer areas, game is now pretty much locked to 60FPS where it wasn't before on some maps. First 10 minutes of campaign mode is also pretty much a lock.
Dead Island - Seems the same as before, Frame pacing issues and not FPS problems perhaps?
Everybodys Gone To The Rapture - Smoother, still not perfect, but must now be a very close 30FPS lock
Oddworld New And Tasty - Now seemingly locked to 30FPS
Resident Evil 5 - No more frame drops that I can see where there used to be minor ones throughout.
I'll submit more if anyone is interested

Damn this is really making me want to pick up a Pro. Unity's Paris is so beautiful but it's the only game I own where the performance was so abysmal that I couldn't keep playing.
PS4 Pro now the defacto PS4. Based Sony!

If bloodborne doesn't join this list soon you will be hunted down.

Many people didn't even notice the frame pacing and it'll be even harder to judge improvement from a YouTube video.
Let's wait for df.
IMO, it works better.

A lot have. Many like you (myself included) can access the forum but still don't have an email. Another GAFer said if you get a friend to forward their invite email to you, and you click the link, it will give you a code. Haven't tested as I don't know anyone willing to email me their invitation link as of yet.

^^^^^ It was never going to be 60 when the game was capped at 30. We just wanted a more consistent performance.
