Users on NeoGaf have been testing a wide range of games, and have been posting their impressions along with videos and GIF’s for some of the games. Of the games that have been tested so far here’s the reactions with some also including video/GIF comparisons.
Note: Boost mode will do nothing extra for games with pro patches which is why those games are not on this list. It could however help for unpatched games that had a pro patch. Alien Isolation
Minor framerate drops are now gone with boost mode.
Arcania
Improved framerate.
Assassin’s Creed IV:Black Flag
No visible improvements with boost mode.
Assassin’s Creed: Unity
This has been called one of the best upgrades with boost mode by far. AC: Unity was plagued with performance issues and still had some after patches. Most notably was that the game ran pretty bad when in crowded areas, but with boost mode, it runs extremely smooth.
Here’s a video to show how great it’s running with boost mode activated.
Assetto Corsa
Running much smoother with boost mode.
Attack on Titan
Improved framerate.
Batman: Arkham Knight
Screen tearing issues are pretty much non existent when boost mode is on. Another great difference out of all the games with boost mode on.
Batman: The Telltale Series
Runs much smoother. Original mode can drop to as low as 15FPS.
Battlefield 4
Battlefield 4’s online was plagued with framerate drops online and dropped to as low as 35 FPS. It’s now running at a very stable 60FPS and looks great! Maybe the best of them all?
Bloodborne
Bloodborne also runs smoother with boost mode, but isn’t perfect and still has some framerate issues even with boost mode on. Here’s a GIF comparison. You must login or register to view this content.
“Broforce runs better, but it’s still not smooth. Definitely a noticeable improvement.”
Call Of Duty: Ghosts
Multiplayer is pretty much locked to 60FPS when on boost mode, without boost mode it wasn’t for some maps. Campaign is also locked to 60FPS.
Call Of Duty: Advanced Warfare
The original PS4 had some slight framerate drops to as low as 53FPS, when boost mode is on like Ghosts it’s pretty much locked to 60FPS. Multiplayer is very smooth.
Contrast
Running at a locked 60FPS, would run “close to 60FPS” originally.
Costume Quest 2
Running at a locked 60FPS, would run “close to 60FPS” originally.
Darksiders II*
Now locked to 30FPS and screen tearing issues on the original PS4 are now gone when in boost mode.
Dark Souls III
Improved framerate, but still suffering from framepacing issues.
What do you guys think about the PS4 boost mode? Looks like it'll be pretty cool
Bro, you listed a bunch of games no one gives a fuck about. LOL. The only decent games there are BF 4 and AC, post more
Lol, I mean, it's mostly the games that has been tested on it and are only for games that has not been updated to support PS4 Pro. Compared the ones today which have PS4 Pro patch already in it.
