Monster Hunter World Beta on PS4 Pro offers 3 options, all run slighter better than regular PS4

no, that's naive

if the game logic with all the different AI creatures, physics, etc doesn't run above 60fps you won't get that kind of a performance boost from a drop in resolution

yes you can even with drops to 55 thats still considered 60fps, but what game isnt dropping below any target these days?

*sigh* dropping resolution from 1080p to 900p is a ~30% reduction of pixels, which could benefit a game that's limited by GPU power by a good 25+%, but a game that's strictly limited by CPU power might only profit by 5%

in reality it's pretty certainly a combination of CPU/GPU limitations that's holding the framerate back in MHW, but a 40-50% jump over the current performance mode by going to 900p seems unlikely to me unless they find really good ways to clean up the code for the final release on PS4 Pro

the XxX is a bit better in the CPU/GPU department and might be able to pull off a good 60fps at 900p
