I'm just going to provide the link because I intend to post more as they come in and after so many get embedded, the thread gets choked:

Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed Unity on PS4 is notorious for its sub-par performance, with even an extensive optimisation push only resulting in 22-24fps frame-rates in NPC-heavy areas. The upgrade on Pro is hugely impressive. The title hits 30fps for the vast majority of the duration with only slight dips beneath the target. A hugely ambitious console title that lacked the horsepower to deliver a decent experience is finally running as it should - and it's really worth revisiting with Pro's boost mode active.

Nice. Picked it up for $10 a while ago, still in my backlog. At least it will be running smoothly.

Wow... The boost in Project Cars is insane, 37fps up to 50fps?

SvennoJ I also picked it up for $10 and I'm waiting to get a Pro to play it. Can't wait after this boost thing was announced.

Is this game worthy of such a distinction?

Great work as usual from DF. Really looking forward to 4.50, looks like it has greatly improved frame rate and even more importantly response time. Now I am very excited to get back into some Assetto Corsa in the lead up to Gran Turismo Sport.



Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

Just watched the second video, and wow some of those gains are impressive! Hoping to see some tests with games such as The Witcher 3, Bloodborne, and Just Cause 3... although I'm not expecting too much from Bloodborne unless it somehow fixes the framepacing issue.

First boost mode impressions with JC3 and Witcher 3 are very positive on neogaf. BB seems to not gain that much - framepacing might be a bit better overall, but still is a constant issue to those that are sensitive to it. Personally I have no problem with that when playing the game, but when I'm just watching it I do realize some stutters.

Alot of those games that have dips down to 45-50 range, suddenly are solid 60 fps.

This makes getting a PS4pro worth it imo... If you dont own a PS4 and your looking to get one, dont get a slim, go for the PS4pro.
