Support NeoGAF

[NeoIkaruGAF]

I can believe it works, but I’ll be forgiven if the first thing that came to my mind reading about this was “The feel of 60fps”

They obviously know vrr isn't coming anytime soon if they released this patch.

Wat?

 

[sncvsrtoip]

Yes but 120hz 4k means chroma 422 so worse colors or edges or something

Vincent form hdtv said Ratchet has one of best hdr and colors he seen in games so no problem (also he praised 120hz mode even before this patch because of lower input lag)

 

[skneogaf]

Wat?

VRR anytime soon

 

[Captain Toad]

I guess that's cool. I'd still always stick to the 60 FPS mode though.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

last time I checked thats 20 short. LOL

 

[Bo_Hazem]

To me I went for Performance RT straight away, but if I had 120Hz and this 40fps I would easily go for it. It's 33% smoother and better than 30fps and makes feel really good while providing the maximum fidelity possible.

Maybe Sony should hurry the fuck up with VRR, however it is still really elegant concept.

 

[MaKTaiL]

This has absolutely nothing to do with VRR and more to do with simple math. 120hz is a multiple of 40hz.

120hz is also a multiple of 30hz.

No idea why it's taking Sony so long to support VRR.

 

[Werewolfgrandma]

But what % of people actually have 4k 120hz Hur dur Hur.

 

[Kenpachii]

That's actually pretty smart.

Very few. So, cool for them but eh.

Let's be honest Sony has very weak OS team. I don't know maybe they are understaffed or simply bad at their job, but it is what it is.

I tried this last night on my CX. I was shocked what a difference going from 30 to 40fps makes!

 

[evanft]

This is actually a really cool idea.

Now I'm wondering what the theoretical max FPS of the quality mode is when uncapped.

I get your point and it’s valid but at least this will lock to 30fps on a 60hz display, whereas almost always having to rely on VRR to avoid juddering is not an option for most people.

Me, as a 1080p, non VRR owner will prefer a more solid framerate at a lower resolution over 4k with drops under 60fps. I might be an outlier here on Neogaf but I think my setup is more representative for the overall consumer base.


geez, i really need a new TV.
4k with HDR will do.
anything better than this actually

VRR would only be helpful if R&C had an issue maintaining a steady frame rate. This is basically allowing you add additional smoothness in the form of a 10fps boost, all while still running in fidelity mode with no sacrifice to visuals. Hopefully more developers follow suit and add similar modes.

Performance RT mode would also go higher than 60fps judging by these numbers. Assuming the same scaling then it would be running at 80fps which is just as noticeable as going from 30 to 40.

GoW run at 40-50FPS in the unlocked FPS mode, which just shows how much headroom is left in all those 30FPS titles, so like I said earlier, unlocked framerate+VRR should be a viable standard for current consoles, it's basically the best of both worlds.
