FPS boost means little for console, since most TVs are 60hz.

Obviously you don't know tvs?

 

[belvedere]

Here's a gameplay video I recorded.

Judge the framerate (and not my shitty gunplay) for yourself:

https://youtu.be/m6x5XZYaUHw

1. It has a fps counter?

2. Lots of time in the 90s?

3. WTF

 

[Proelite]

Take that Xbone S with your 5% boosts.

Yeah, it's one of the rare few games with fps counter.

How's the framerate with vsync on? My eyes can take so much tearing

 

[Guymelef]

Has anybody actually tried this with a monitor over 60Hz? (in case of PS4 supports it).
I'm more inclined to think this is a bug with the framerate counter.

 

[Nielm]

Now uncap Terrorist Hunt.

 

[Coriolanus]

tbf that's a 30fps vid of what is often 70+fps gameplay, so gods only know how it looked live. Would still have tearing obv, but id take 60+ with tearing over locked 30 without it any day, especially in a twitch shooter.

 

[Always-honest]

Wait, T-hunt too??????
Pretty pleaseeee

 

[NullPointer]

Terrible screen tearing :\

Yup. Disappointing.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Now uncap Terrorist Hunt.

THIS IS ONLY FOR TERRORIST HUNT

 

[Karspankey]

The videos posted are terrorist hunt. I've tried it myself and can confidently say that the game runs between 70 and 80fps during t-hunt with vsync turned off, of course.

 

[Sotha_Sil]

I was shocked when I saw the 280x as the recommended GPU on Steam. I'm not too surprised it can hit 100+ in some situations.

Not terribly useful when most tvs are 60hz, though...

 

[Always-honest]

Ahh, okay, sorry. Awesome.

Fuck yes!!!!!!

"What is input lag for $300 Alex"

I have a 60hz monitor, and you can bet your ass I prefer to play Overwatch and CSGO at 100+ fps. Big difference in input lag.

 

[Fisty]

Wait, if VS is capped with dynamic res, wouldn't boost mode allow that to keep a higher res more consistently?

 

[Zombegoast]

Whats the actual effect on gameplay Vs other players?

EDIT: Lol at that video 20 secs of gameplay. the rest menus. Come on bro.

Frame time is lower. Also wouldn't this overheat the system?

Just stop. Most PC gamers are still running on 60hz monitors. A higher frame rate means less likelihood dipping below 60 fps so it matters..

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

Are we really going to get a thread for each new game people discover gets a FPS boost?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

I mean for today, yes lol.

 

[NullPointer]

Significant boosts, or ones for games that people have long begged for Pro patches? Yeah, probably. This stuff is great news.

About to check right now.

Edit: Nope... :/ Definitely syncing it to the TV's refresh rate.

 

[MANGOD]

Might run smoother but its still gonna look like shit. Take yo dynamic res and ram it

 

[herod]

FloorPS the new consolation gaming benchmark.

 

[Rocketz]

If people want to compare here are videos I took of the Xbox One version. Both during the same THunt. I tried to cause as much effects as I could. The dips at the end are from opening the menu to record.

[metareferential]

Consoles need gsync/freesync badly.

 

[DodgyGeezerFella]

Today I learn a console game has an FPS counter.

And that PS4 Amateur is now an awesome thing, why did nobody think of this earlier.

I also though Terrorist Hunt on consoles was locked to 30, or did a patch remove that ?

 

[Coriolanus]

Why in god's name would it? That's why the thing has a fan and a dissipator. They're supposed to be ok working on constant max load.

There is a toggle to turn off vsync. It was added later after launch.

Pushing out frames faster and faster increases heat pretty rapidly. Have you ever been on a PC game's main menu without VSync and it shoots up to 5,000+ FPS? Your GPU ramps its fans up straight away and things get pretty heated. Now I know the PS4 is only doing 100FPS in this case but it's also in a much smaller enclosure.

Theoretically everything is "supposed" to be okay at max load but it's rarely the reality.

Secret sauce!!!

if it were rarely the reality, most ps4's would burn to a crisp any time they met a game that is so taxing that the system struggles to achieve even 30fps, like, say, bloodborne. Since that's evidently not the case...

There's been console games with uncapped menu screens that drove up the fans. No PS4s exploded.

Yeah, hardware nowadays is designed to shut down when things get too hot.

 

[Spiral Insanity]

Ban that gif already.

 

[Arulan]

As I said in the Just Cause 3 thread, it's great to see console users being able to take advantage of hardware improvements without the need for the developer's say.

 

[IbizaPocholo]

This is a huge improve in t hunt and an awesome feature of the pro.

 

[HIGH DEF JEFF]

About to see this for myself.
V Sync has to be off, right?

-EDIT-
The screen is a tearing mess with V sync off..not sure if its needed to see the fps
improvememt but i cant play this way. Rook deserves better!!

 

[BigEmil]

This would cause more stress on the hardware for letting FPS get that high ain't it with unlocked franerate

 

[Stitch]

Might run smoother but its still gonna look like shit. Take yo dynamic res and ram it

I think the resolution will also be better with PRO!?
If the game runs smoother the engine also doesn't need to lower the res all the time.
I guess. Maybe. Help me DF, you're my only hope.

The game doesn't use dynamic res. It uses MSAA reconstruction which is effectively similar to what checkerboard rendering does in order to get to 1080P on PS4 and 900P on Xbox One from half that resolution and 2*MSAA.

Compared to non reconstructed 1080P, the MSAA reconstructed 1080P provides a 30% boost in performance.

 

[Stitch]

oh, so it runs upscaled all the time. that's a shame. I remember that it looked really blurry with default settings on PC.

 

[nOoblet16]

It's not upscaled. Upscaling as is generally referred to is different from reconstruction, bar the artifacts the reconstructed image would be as sharp as a native image. The blurriness you see is caused from the TAA not the resolution, but at the same time the TAA helps reduce the artifacts.

On PC reconstruction is off by default but TAA is on.

Checkerboard/reconstruction is not upscaling.
