Re: PlayStation 4 Discussion
Gee, some people aren't enjoying their PS4 PRO? Who would have guessed that a mid-gen console which wasn't needed whatsoever was a bad idea? Add in the fact that the CPU is virtually identical to the base PS4 and yeah, you'll get better resolution but at the cost of a lower or bad frame rate.
The increased GPU says it all. Graphics Processing Unit. It's right there. The CPU is what's mainly needed for better frame rates which is why some games are struggling. Add in the fact that the games are having HDR patched in on the fly and none of the PRO additions were done at the start of the development process for games and yeah, it's not going to be good.
Hopefully in time, games are programmed and developed with HDR and of course, better frame rates. The true test will be Horizon: Zero Dawn in my opinion mainly because every game is having all this stuff patched in which tells you that the game was originally never meant to support HDR and the PS4 PRO.
With that all said, I keep HDR "ON" on my TV but for the PRO, I turn it off because it looks worse due to the console switching from RGB to YUV420. Turning HDR "ON" in-game looks worse than keeping it off.
It's basically a cluster**** but whatever. After selling my base PS4, $150 cash back via my credit card and $45 back in gift cards via Best Buy, PRO only cost me $5 plus tax so I can't complain at all. LOL.
