[petition] PS4 framerate

[Scarletashe]

Wouldn't the PS4 Pro have beter frame rate without any patch needed since it's not locked and all over the place on normal PS4? Like i go into in area and look turn the camera into the sky and it's 60fps but bring it back down and it drops again. If the Pro is beter shouldn't it just be able to run it still unlocked but at 60 more often?

For PC you can set the amount of characters/objects displayed in the system configuration (it's the "..." icon)

I'm almost sure you can do the same thing on ps4

By the way, unless you spend a lot of money on a new pc most people's pc can't handle idyllshire either. Mine used to run ARR perfectly but in HW it can't run some things in places like idyllshire.

I haven't found that setting on PS4. If someone finds it and it solves the problem, I love you

Your PC can run 1080p60 almost everywhere? Please! go there!

The PS4 Pro has a CPU marginally faster; it's its GPU that is really improved.
Should it exist, a "PS4 Pro Enhanced" FFXIV would be 4k/DirectX11 only. Its 1080p won't be that much helped by the slightly better CPU, unless developers add an option to significantly reduce the CPU's charge on heavy demanding situations. And this could happen on the Standard PS4 as easily.

Is there a way to play at 60fps on ps4?

The PS4 version can hit 60fps, it's not locked to 30 or less. It varies - hence the OP's complaint.

There is a video from Digital Foundary that shows the framerate over about 5 minutes of samples of gameplay from when the PS4 version first appeared (it's seen some optimization since then and is smoother now), the frame rate varies up and down, I haven't watched the video lately but if memory serves it was floating between 25-30 in very busy, crowded areas with action and player effects and anything between 50 and 60 in solo instances or interior scenes with few other players (if any).

That said, sometimes in places like GS, when there are a crap ton of people around and all the movement and effects at pay, you can see the game dropping the frame rate. But as one of the first replies in this topic pointed out, that's true on PC as well - unless you're running high end, fully decked out, gaming rig of course...

Don't go to crowded areas.

I think the client of the PS3 and the PS4 are not the same, if the PS4 was capable of 60FPS it would have been so when they did the client, the PS4 isn't a powerful console, never has been.

PS4 use the PC client.

PS4 use the PC client.

Thanks, that's explains that the PS4 is also limiting the game.

Only as much as a PC do that was build during 2014.
There is still many air upwards on PS4. The current client don't push the PS4 on it's limit.

The PS4 Pro won't run in towns at 60FPS unless it's on a dead server, do you need a drawing so you understand?

How many PC can do it? In a full city (with people running around and spamming skills) and not dead city?

Not really, in 2014 the GTX970 and 980 were released, and the 970 alone was already capable of running the game at 50FPS in towns and 1440p.

Probably almost none because the limitation is on the CPU, not the Graphics Card.

Games should still run better on a PS4 Pro regardless if it's an"enhanced" or not.
A far as this game goes and framerate, that is entirely up to devs
it would be nice to have a higher framerate, but the game currently runs great except like pointed out areas like Idylshire

Not that I know of.

If a game doesn't have the PS4 Pro Enhanced certification, the PS4 Pro will lock itself down to being a standard PS4. No extra power.
With currently PS3, PS4, PC and Mac, I don't know if developers have enough resources to work on giving the CPU the extra power the GPU gets - if even possible.
