PlayStation 4 New ‘Boost Mode’ Feature
According to Polygon, the "Boost Mode" for PS4 Pro aims to improve the quality as well as the performance of games that have not been covered to support the PS4 Pro. "This can provide a noticeable frame rate boost to some games with variable frame rates, and can provide frame rate stability for games that are programmed to run at 30 Hz or 60 Hz," Sony explained.
However, the new Boost Mode feature is "not guaranteed to work with all titles," according to the blog spot Sony posted. In addition to that, the setting can also be turned off so that the experience of the user is that of a standard such as in PS4. Depending on the game you are playing, the increased in the speed of CPU may also result in shorter load times. In order to address it, turn on the Boost Mode manually by going to Settings then select System option.
