[petition] PS4 framerate

[Mwynn]

I believe the central point is whether or not PS4 Pro will run FFXIV better than a PS4. that answer is yes, it will - unless SE specifically coded the game to lock frame rates below 60, the game will definitely run better on PS4 Pro. Will PS4 Pro run the game at 4K - even assuming SE supported 4K in the game? Probably, but it would probably be at around 30fps, but not locked at 30fps. IIRC Sony wants framerates locked at at least 30, and most analysis I've read seems to think that most games will run at an intermediate resolution higher than 1080 FullHD, but below 4K to maintain 30+ frames per second. Unless you are performing static image comparisons, you will not notice the resolution difference between the scaled image and a full 4K native image.

This, so much this, let's take Rise of the Tomb Raider as example.

Rise of the Tomb Raider makes use of the PS4 Pro's Additional Hardware Upgrades.

Either you run one of the three Options :

~ Fast Frames 1080p, less Detail (60 Frames without a single Stutter)
~ 30 Frames Capped but extremely highly Detailed
~ 30 Frames Capped and 4K Scaled Image, less Detail

Given the Fact FFXIV is a MMORPG and not a Single Player Game, hundreds of Player Models will bring every Hardware down, even a PC.
Nobody can tell me they got constant 60 Frames in Idyllshire when there is around 50-70 Players not even on a i7 6950X CPU with two GTX 1080 GPUs

Whilst Single Player Games can be Optimized, MMORPG's can't be hardly Optimized at all due of the population of Players.
Square Enix cannot factor how much People will run around in a Zone.

You'd be surprised, a Game using "Realtime" DirectX 8 Shadows from 2004 still brings me to single digit Frames, it is all Optimation, yet, if there is too much Models and Texture Streaming going on in the background, nothing helps against that.
