[PS5] 4K with FPS limit at 30?

[KarstenS]

With the current graphics, the PS5 should be able to do it at 60 FPS most of the time.

So why there is a frame limit at 30 FPS?

[Arngrim_Greyashe]

They said at 4K it will be around 40 fps. In the lower resolutions it will be 60 fps.

TBH, Even the other two modes can't keep an even 60 like the BC version of PS4 pro did on the PS5. Frame pacing issues are not good when large objects are in view. Again, the BC ps4 pro version on ps5 was rock solid. Very disappointed in this upgrade but they can always tweak it I guess but what I'm seeing right now is not great or rather not as good as it could be.

That's my exact issue. The PS5 is more than capable of running this old ass game in 4k 60FPS. I mean, I get that the PS5 version is giving us native 4k instead of just an up-scaled checker-boarding 4k, but the difference does not warrant such a significant drop in FPS. Specially when the PS5 can run games at 4k 120FPS.

This. I changed the settings to 4k on the PS5 to see the difference. Yes, the UI is a lot clearer and cleaner. I love the look of it. However, the drop in FPS from WQHD to 4k is drastically noticeable. On WQHD you can see just how smooth the game runs. In 4k, character and camera movement are stuttery. In-game cutscenes are affected by the FPS drop (tested on Cloud Deck intro cutscene) as well as the combat. Frankly, the drop in FPS has been giving me a headache whenever I run things in 4k settings to see how sections of the game perform. They really need to up the FPS for 4k settings. The PS5 is more than capable of handling it.

Agreed. I love all the little things like the haptic feedback with this version, but they really need to unlock the FPS to 60 in 4K. Much more graphically demanding games such as Destiny can do 4K 60 (and 120 for PvP if your display supports it). There really isn't any reason for this game not to be 60, especially since we can turn down the effects as well.

Can means "ability to output" not necessarily "ability to actually do so".

And sure the game is old, but that means nothing. I'm pretty sure my 3080 hits 100% getting 120 fps at 1440p ultrawide.

4K is more difficult to drive than 3440x1440. So yeah...

My 3090 is nearly at 100% at 1440p with locked 144hz so yeah lol.

I gave 4k a go. It looks nice, but I ended up going with the middle setting, WQHD. It's a nice balance, as the description suggests. The fps hit was annoying me. It wasn't at 30, but definitely around 40-45 depending on the area. I know the PS5 can do slightly better than that, but in all fairness this IS a beta.

[Marxam]

This is a beta after all. However I do agree that this should run at min locked 60 fps at 1440, and locked 60 at 4k with dynamic scaling. This game currently has some pretty rough textures and seeing it in 1440p (my current settings) is a bit off putting. I'd much rather have locked frame rates but at the moment I'm experiencing frame stuttering when in the open world and its trying to render large amount of objects.

Example is in Kholusia near the the Neir raids. Pan your camera down then up towards the dwarf village and you'll see with I mean. Though I suspect that this has something to do with the fan noise that Sony probably wants to keep at a certain level. If the PS4 Pro can sound like a jet engine then the PS5 can too if you really push it. Bottom line though 60 fps or nothing at this point. A frame counter for PS5 would be nice too. Hopefully someone can do a comparison on a monitor.

Another thing is I hate how the "Enlarge UI option is set to 150%" because it makes the boss dialogue in battle far too big and distracting on a 4k tv. I have my UI set to 100% and would much prefer the Enlarge option to bump it up to 120% because right now the system menu is too small but the battle dialogue UI is just right.
