John and Rich sit down to talk about the week in Digital Foundry, and the growing realisation that while its 4K fortunes may be mixed, PS4 Pro is rapidly evolving into the best way to play PlayStation titles on a 1080p screen. And just when the Direct starts to wind up, a surprise guest turns up...

I couldn’t agree more, they should’ve prioritized framerate and frame time even before worrying about moving anywhere past 1080p, maybe 1440 at very most (which in my opinion is usually fine for resolution, 1440 is a perfect sweet spot.

@@fullauto86 1440p is totally fine. 4k is luxury and maybe even overkill for most games. The cost of 4k monitors alone is outrageous, let alone a graphics card that can actually run native 4k without DLSS and FSR at 120fps. 60 fps is the bare MINIMUM but 100-120 fps is the sweet spot for smooth gameplay. Why does everyone NEED the graphics to be better, they've been more than good enough for the past ten years and now all the new games run like crap and have more bugs than we've seen since New Vegas.

Exactly! I finally chipped into the Pro because it was on black friday sale for $299 US. DREAMS for PS4 runs better on it and as far as I understand, so does VR (also a black friday acquisition). And I believe exceptional quality 1080P TV's plasma, LCD, OLED, QLED QDOT...will be around long after we're all dead. Just like you can find endless supplies of flatscreen CRT picture tube TV's for 1st and second gen gaming, for free damn near anywhere. Those TV's were several thousand new. Like the Sony and Advents. I won't be heading into 4k gaming any time soon unless it's on a PC. And that's only because of future upgradeability which consoles inherently lack. Just my .02

Because they're mean. But seriously I know the pain. The unfortunate truth is that monitors are a smaller market share for ps4 users and 1440p is even smaller. It doesn't seem hard to do, most games already run at 1440p on Pro anyway. The only solution really is to a newer monitor; most modern 1440p monitors will accept and downsample a 4k signal.

@ 7:03, so, changing your resolution changes the rendering mode. Right, so what happens to performance if you select 720p? Does that just render at 1080p and downscale to 720p? Or is there additional performance increases to be had with lowering the resolution even more? Or, is it a separate option to the resolution option, and instead the supersampling option?

SteelSkin667 does anyone know if the pro is just as quite as the slim when running in 1080p instead of 4k. Surely if the pro is not pushing 4k it’s working less so there’s less stress on the hardware therefore it should be cooler and quieter than if it was attached to a 4k tv.

For some reason, multiplayer in Bloodborne is waaay less laggy on a PS4 Pro running boost mode, than on a standard PS4. We already know the differences in loading times and the slight stabilizing of Bloodborne's frame pacing issues, but you can feel the biggest difference in performance when playing coop for example. Some time ago, I was running through forbidden woods with two friends, playing on standard PS4s. And they were both complaining about huge lags. And I could see that later in a recording of one of them. But my own game ran really smooth, almost as good as it would in offline mode.

But doesn't the PS4 Pro always downsample from 4k? meaning you are getting performance at a 4K level, even if display is 'downsampled' to 1080p?

I think, the PS4's system-wide down sampling from 4K to 2K/Full HD is something that's transparent to the game/software. It's something behind the scene. Basically PS4 declared that it's plugged to a 4K screen (and allocate 2160p framebuffer) to the software. The game render to the framebuffer with that resolution, then OS then downscale it to 1080p resolution. Maybe exposing a flag showing that the output will be finally down-scaled would lose that transparency. I don't know if it's a good idea though :-/.

The super sampling mode is more than likely doing what you are describing. I'm not sure whether the scaling to the output resolution is handled by the software or by the system, but since developers can manually set the rendering resolution depending on the front-end settings, there's a chance that it is the former, whereas Xbox probably handles scaling from whatever arbitrarily sized framebuffer it is given to the output resolution. There's a chance that exposing a flag would either require to change the way the console handles scaling, or require developers to plan for a third 'downscale to 1080p' setting in their game.

@@Bcap222 It seems to me that Sony first party titles clearly benefits for the supersampling without any performance issues. I have a pro setup for a 40inch 1080p led tv and all their first party titles run smoothly with supersampling enabled but there's a few issue in 3rd party triple A titles like the Wither 3 with supersampling enabled but when turning off the ss mode, it runs smooth again. Here's my final though: The PS4 Pro is worth every penny for a 1080P Led TV (every games are now rendered in a native 1080P plus a huge improvement in performance) rather than a fake 4k renederd with a dip in performance.

I think the Pro is more of a 1440p machine as most pro enhanced games render at that resolution, but I do agree that performance should be the priority. So games that are at resolutions higher than 1080p but have framerate dips below 30 fps (Fallout 4 & Skyrim for example) would benefit much more if they’re rendering at 1080p locked 30 or 60

In regard of 1080p and checkerboard rendering, the image is reconstructed and then downscaled. It doesn't loose sharpness from being upscaled and then downscaled. If the process is concatenated then it should far exceed a native 1080p image. I bought my PS4 Pro solely for the anti-aliasing properties on a downscaling to 1080p. I could not be happier.

The additional surface area of the console standing vertically I think helps keep it cooler and really keep air moving through the console better than if you sit it horizontally
