Well, it still can be patched. Frame rate is locked 30 most of the time, from what I can tell. I'm not really sensitive to frame rate slightly lower than 30 fps and it's nowhere near the level of fallout. But sprinting through dense forests, very foggy areas with lots of alpha effects does feel like a 2-3 fps drop to me. This is entirely subjective of course.
I only noticed it, because I was playing Skyrim for the last few days and switching to the Pro introduced those performance issues.


You can not download the latest patch but other than that it will always run in "Pro mode". I think the extra eye candy is still worth it.

Sorry if this has been asked but did you try Skyrim on a PS4 Pro at on a 1080p tv?

Really!? HDR on First Light just on my standard PS4 is jaw-dropping on my C6 OLED and comparing to HDR switched off is night and day. Perhaps they need a better TV to test their games on.

I just bought the 55' variant of this same model, this weekend. I cannot wait! Have a 65' LG UH8500 4K in front room; but the OLED is replacing the 55' 1080 LG in the bedroom. Both rooms have a PS4 + PSVR, but I mainly play in the bedroom and husband in front room and the Pro will be for my main.

I hope it's a good tv and have high hopes for the Pro on it.

The graphics could be worse than the base ps4 as long as it's whisper quiet. Noise is the #1 problem with electronics. I'd take ps2 level graphics for a silent system.

You could just buy the slim. That's really quiet.

We need to have a special thread dedicated to PS4 Pro w/PSVR so we can discuss information and impressions of the PRO w/PSVR. I am waiting for actual GAF'ers to post impressions and a consolidated thread might be worth making.

For me it's more a question of price difference, 1tb ps4 slim is 309.99 GBP, Pro is 349.99 GBP, and I think it's pretty safe to say that the improvements are well worth the 30GBP price difference.
If you already have a PS4 then obviously that doesn't really apply, but I think Sony absolutely nailed it on price, and as time goes on and newer titles are released, I can see the pro being the go-to console for best experiences, by a country mile.

Was trying to do a tops but its way too much work

Infamous Second Son & First Light :
-InFamous titles scale up to 1800p
-The inFamous ports from Sucker Punch offer this functionality, and initial tests with First Light show the game running much more smoothly - the first stage showing a 50-60fps turnout.
Click to expand...

1080p benefits:
- And if you don’t have a 4K TV, you’ll still see a smoother image as the PS4 Pro will scale down to match your 1080p display.

Horizon Zero Dawn:
-2160p checkerboard

-1080p benefits
For starters, for players who still possess standard 1080p HDTVs, we’re able to offer far better image quality. We’ve got a number of techniques at our disposal. The most logical one is supersampling. This is a very high-quality anti-aliasing technique, which basically means we internally render at a higher resolution (close to 4K) before shrinking it down to the final 1080p resolution. As our internal calculations are done at a resolution much higher than 1080p, more detail survives before we shrink it down to 1080p, resulting in smoother edges — virtually no jaggies — and a more stable image.

Rez Infinite
-Native 4k

PS VR benefits:
-
Similarly, those of you who have PS VR hooked up to your PS4 Pro might notice Area X looking a little different than you’re used to—that’s because the image being passed along to each of your eyes is being rendered at a higher resolution (1920 x 1080, instead of 1440 x 810 on a standard PS4), before being passed to the PS VR headset.

Killing Floor 2
-1800p resolution that is then upscaled to 4K 2160p

-1080p benefits
These high-res textures will be used whether the player is playing on a 4K TV or a standard 1080p display. In addition to the ultra textures, the extra memory allowed us to increase our dynamic shadow resolution. Killing Floor 2’s custom deferred renderer uses a number of shadowing techniques including dynamic shadows. When these dynamic shadows are used they will be crisper and higher resolution on PS4 Pro then the standard PS4. When playing on a 1080p TV, Killing Floor 2 is effectively super sampled, resulting in much higher quality and smoother anti-aliasing.

Ratchet & Clank

-Temporal injection at 2160p

Benefits for 1080p owners
-PS4 Pro users with a 1080p TV will see a big increase in gameplay image quality as well. The technique we’re using to get to those better resolutions is something we’re calling Temporal Injection. This allows us to not only hit a much higher resolution, but also to do it with jaggie-eliminating anti-aliasing as well. The extra resolution and HDR’s ability to display even more of the colorful Solana Galaxy should combine for the best image quality you’ve ever seen in a Ratchet & Clank game.

Going forward, will there be a PS5 Pro and so on?
Click to expand...

Honestly, I think it will be a straight up PS5 that allows for BC with PS4 games but essentially sets up a minimum specs for a new generation of games. I'm just hoping by then that it will at least be an 8 or 9 TFLOPS for the PS5.

Yeah I could definitely see that and I'm hoping too. SONY usually does great job at setting the tone for the generation and I don't think BC can be neglected any further.

Huh, I thought this released on the 10th? Because I just saw PS4 Pro on the shelf at my Walmart.

I'm pretty happy with my OG PS4 but I may jump on it at tax refund time, though I've only got a 1080p TV.

So being team 1080p TV. If the game at the very least has a 4k pro enabled patch, is there anything I have to do? Like settings and what not?

And everything would automatically be supersampled from 4k down to 1080p?

Honestly, we really need a PS4 Pro thread dedicated entirely to 1080p TV owners.

Including
- General perks that every game will include
- Game-specific benefits and patches
- All in one convenient OP

Does the YouTube app on the OG PS4 stream 4k? I think it does...

I have a 4K TV and I'm wondering if I stream the digital foundry vids from YouTube using the YT app on my PS4 if I'd see what it would really look like on a PS4 Pro and my TV, anyone know?

If true, I wonder how many people won't jump on right away and opt for the mid generation version knowing the first couple of years is the slow period of releases which in turn would slow platform adoption rate? I think if they want to do this moving forward, they need to offer both versions at launch rather than updating in there middle of the generation. That would be the true choice.
