I haven't played much of FF XV since launch so I'm only going by the videos and stories I've head but wow.......I'm playing on High/4k and I'm not getting the frame pacing issues I've seen. I may actually play this! I know this is a pro patched title so did Square patch this thing recently or what?
You probably just don't notice it. There hasn't been a patch for framepacing and boost mode doesn't do anything with Pro patched games.

Hype Train conductor. Works harder than it steams.
Really? I couldn't hear anything from the Pro. The VR processing unit the loudest thing in my room lol.
I thought Dragon Quest Heroes always ran at 60 FPS? Does it have framerate drops?
I have the game but barely played it.

Thanks, even though I can't see the difference on the video, I'm glad it helps. I play 2p splitscreen with my son and I'm sure it will help. Now to wait for the official fw update...

I have a Japanese copy but I'm near the beginning of it, are there drops only at certain points?

I have the japanese demo for DQ: Heroes 2 and this area
suffers much less drops with boost mode on.
Firewatch got a pro patch and boost won't impact it.

Yeah, when you get to certain stages when the mobs approach it will skip quite a bit.

Thanks! This should bode well for Part 1 too, I'd imagine.
Having played Plants vs Zombies GW2 for some time, from what I can tell this is now running at a locked 1080/60. It ran well before but would stutter when there was a lot of alpha effects running simultaneously.
I can't say that it's going to be 100%1080/60 but it's looked really good on the couple of occasions that I've played it today.

I'm in the process of redownloading Battlefield Hardline since I haven't ran into anything here and I'm enjoying all these random games I'm playing for scientific purposes.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
People keep saying this but it's not true.
If your game is below 1080p on PS4 Amateur then you have to bump it to at least 1080p on PS4 Pro, but that's it as far as requirements go.

That's good to hear, I was looking through the thread to see if anyone had commented on whether this makes the fans loud.
My old PS4 was extremely loud on some games and I've read that Pro can be a crapshoot, some claim it's silent and some claim it's still loud. I've been considering just waiting for a revision but that could be a few years and there's already like 5 exclusives out now I really want to play (sold my old PS4 a couple months ago).

I had never seen this raid before. That was fucking awesome.
Tomb Raider Definitive Edition
PS4 Pro boost mode vs PS4 standard:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nx0aTvnp-w4
^ I cut one continue out so that is why it skips ahead once.
Individual videos:
PS4 standard gameplay of the same section
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzEVEZXwwrY
PS4 Pro Boost mode of the same section:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2uVCxMpLx
Both versions run well in the sections I played above.
However, I did notice that the intro opening section of Tomb Raider Definitive Edition is still not as smooth as it should be (first puzzle and escape to the first base camp).

The Evil Within PS4 standard vs PS4 Pro with the letterbox turned off.
I never got around to playing that far into The Evil Within so this is from the beginning just like the other video posted before.

Anyone try Xcom 2? It's unclear whether the Pro patch was actually a pro patch.

To get ridiculous frames in terrorist hunt you need to deactivate v-sync.

I may just have to get me a copy of The Evil Within when this goes live.

Rocket League really needs a native Pro mode. The framerate is already rock solid, but it could certainly benefit from higher resolution, better AA, and ambient occlusion.

With the amount of the support this game gets I'm sure it's a matter of when, not if.

Anything about the Resident Evil games on PS4? For example first Resident Evil Remastered HD.
What about The Tomorrow Children? I thought this game would get a PS4 PRO patch from the devs themselevs. This game used the PS4 hardware very well and could have benfited from PS4 PRO too.

Just tried it a few minutes ago and it looks locked at 30 fps to me. Did not see any drops but I don't have enhanced laser vision so take it for what it is.
Btw, i've tried a few games on boost mode and the most impressive to me has to be Tomb Raider: DE. Seems locked at 60 fps. So smooth and beautiful... What a game.
looking at the outer edges of the screen where judder is more obvious to see, boost mode seem to be smoother...BUT when there is a judder is seems a lot more pronounced? maybe the framepacing issue the game has.

Yep, even with draw quality set to high.

Will buy a Pro finally the day this patch goes live. Boost Mode is the type of thing I have been waiting for.

Grow Up feels a bit smoother now, but it looks like AA gets broken by boost mode. Looks incredibly jaggy now, or rather moreso than normal.

It's been months since the company even mentioned the Pro :/
Dragon Quest Heroes (PS4 Pro Boost mode vs PS4 standard):

Overall, the Pro runs a bit smoother but I don't think it runs at a locked 60fps on the Pro either. I don't have the framerate tools that Digital Foundry has but the Pro version felt better to play overall.
