Fair enough, though I would take 1080p 60fps with drops in novigrad to the 40's or 50's...as an additional mode..aka.. performance mode...I think it would work nicely.

Watching it go from day to night once in 4K is enough to convince me this is the greatest looking game ever (maybe not technically but artistically):
This game in 1080 on an OG PS4 moved me in a way no game ever has. If I ever pair my Pro with a 4K, I'll be a mess.
Thank you very much! that was the issue

Saw NXGamer's video, it looks really good and clean. Looks way better than it did on my 7950.
Good job by the developer

Everything looks better, believe me. It just forced a replay on me.
Question: I have the physical disc, so would it be a good idea to delete and reinstall, or will it be okay to just download the patch?
I ask because I often read comments about doing a fresh install before adding a patch with some games, and I think someone mentioned it this morning for Witcher 3.

Ive never heard of that or done it for anything. Just install the patch.

I'd like to know this as well. Sorry if it's been asked already.
Okay, thx.

It sounds like there's downsampling on the 1080p sets too.

Does this mean the Xbox one X will be at dynamic 4K with 60 fps? I believe it's achievable

Wait till you play Blood and Wine, especially artisticallyWatching it go from day to night once in 4K is enough to convince me this is the greatest looking game ever (maybe not technically but artistically):

No, but it seems to be a good enough patch...It just needs a performance mode...
What 4k assets?
No, the GPU won't allow it.....4k 60fps? NO....You can expect the same result as the PRO here...maybe with a few features turned up.
PRO seems to have better filtering and improved shadows though......ontop of the higher resolution...

That actually sounds awful. The main benefit of 60FPS or higher is responsiveness, which that method completely side-steps.

It looks freaking beautiful. Holy smokes! 55 4k Samsung.

I've been waiting for this! Time to dive back into the game. Watching the NXGamer analysis and it seems they've did a pretty bang up job with this patch. A pity there's no HDR support but the resolution bump is already going to do wonders for this game.

Some of these shots are actually really good. Has it been determined if it's native 4k (would be really impressive if so)?
Here's a PC 4k shot for comparison (click for better quality)
The detail:

It uses CBR but it's still impressive. I also wouldn't be expecting hairworks, it kills performance on higher end GPUs.
They aren't going to be doing this on a 2 year old game. I'd be surprised if any third party games use this.
Most people were expecting 1440p and nothing else. This is a great patch that they deserve credit for.
The better filtering and improved shadows is because of the higher resolution, not on top of it.

Made a quick comparison of those 2 shots.. yea it looks really good, but still doesn't come close to the PC version at native 4K.

Life must be really pleasant fighting this speculative, pathetic war of yours.
Foliage still seems to be significantly lower quality on console. That's the major difference to me at a glance.

What war is that? Someone posted 2 pics, said here's a PC shot for comparison and I cropped a section of them and made a comparison link of both of them.
You sure you're not dragging baggage from other threads into this one?

Could the quality in WheelHoss1's screenshot be affected by jpeg/flicker compression?
Or maybe it is for the Euro zone only? Still haven't got it.
I legit couldn't care less, it looks amazing and has zero, zero, ZERO jaggies, this is like, heaven for me. Wow.
Not to mention the PC necessary to run it at 4K costs 2X a Pro

The lack of HDR is interesting, maybe they will implement it later. Given how colorful and beautiful the game looks already, HDR might melt my eyes.
Gross. That's like playing in game mode.
Oh OK, I'm getting conflicting information in this thread but it doesn't help that people call CBR 4K just 4K now.
Mate you might have to look in a mirror, you're the only person that brought this up.

I got it in Australia.
One thing to note is that, in my region anyway, Sony just updated their terms and conditions (or whatever they're called). Maybe try logging out of the PSN, and then logging back in to see if you get prompted to accept them. That might be your roadblock.

Doesn't pretty much everything in a game require it to be made with HDR in mind for the expanded color space (and luminance IIRC)?
I already did that to download the first update.
It's really weird as I'm using both an American and a Colombian account.
What I'm wondering is if patch 1.51 irons out the little performance drops I've been having (It only got really bad at the Wild Hunt cutscene, you know the one, the downgradeaton). I'm rally, really happy with my current update but if 1.51 is better by all means I want to be blessed.

Er, think you got mixed up here. Game Mode is what deactivates extra junk.

I don't know the technical aspects because that stuff doesn't interest. I didn't know that was a thing that had to be considered. Either way, I'm not worried and the game is beautiful regardless.
Yes. A lot of games that are implementing it had assets created in a 10 bit color space (not uncommon among high end asset creation). Luminance also needs to be adjusted. HDR is a strange beast in that the initial workflow adjustments to implement it can be pretty hefty in some cases but it becomes dramatically easier after that. I would guess that Witcher 3 is a case where the assets just plain weren't made in a way that can support it. Hopefully Cyperpunk will.

If it's a jpeg it is automatically compressed, no matter how you transfer it to your PC. Change the image format to png an you're good. I host all my screenshots on Flickr, it served me well.
But even for a jpeg your image looked strangely blurry. I've been playing The Witcher 3 on my Pro and it looks really crisp.
