The new PS4 Pro Boost Mode claims to be able to improve performance of all older, non-patched games on the system. But how much does the setting really do?
If you’re a PlayStation fan, chances are you’ve heard about the changes that the PS4 Pro is bringing to the gaming experience. What you may not have heard of however, is the PS4 Pro Boost Mode – a setting designed to improve the performance of all games available on the system and not restricted to just the ones that received a patch for the upgraded console. According to an analysis video by Digital Foundry, the results are mixed but show some real promise.
In the video below, Digital Foundry reviews the performance of the PS4 Pro Boost Mode across nine different games, comparing the end result with footage from the original, non-boosted gameplay. Sometimes, like with Bloodborne, the channel notes that little difference is made to the core issues that the game suffers from, such as frame-pacing anomalies and long load times, though it does note that the setting appears to keep the game’s frame rate at a more consistent 30 FPS, without the dips seen in the base mode.
