System wide supersampling added in PS4 system update 5.50
- Thread starter Gamer17
- Start date
It was definitely worth it for me, especially as more games start having bigger differences in Vanilla/Pro support like MHW. Supersampling is very blatantly noticeable on my large TV and the extra performance perks are great as well.
In this particular case you might want to consider if the higher IQ is worth it, because as far as I know the game runs only stable 30fps on PS4 Pro at 1080p. The 4K mode drops below and base PS4 is a mess. :(
The game is amazing, by the way! One of my all time favorite games. Every PS4 owner should imo play it.

Depends on how important it is to you to have the best version of games, basically.
I have a 1080 and enjoy downsampling and the other Pro benefits from patched games. The downsampling is definitely obvious on a 1080 screen, though your mileage may vary depending on how close you sit etc and the screen size. Now that I've got an X, though, I'm using that for multiplatform - where the benefits are generally larger.
The number of PS4 Pro games running above 1080 that don't downsample is very few, so although this update is welcome and overdue, personally it wouldn't make the difference for me between buying a Pro or not.
Pretty good to finally have it on the Pro.. not really needed for me since i have a 4K screen but super important for 1080p owners.. it makes a lot of difference
I'll have to try how it plays in both modes, but considering the framerate and -pacing issues never bothered me in Bloodborne, I think the performance issues wouldn't bother me in TLG either. Unless it's really much worse there.
Really nice if it's a toggle. I remember The Last Guardian running better in 1080p mode for example, which means I wouldn't turn it on for this game.

Yea exactly .as long as we have the option we are all happy
Haha. First person that came to mind when I entered the thread. This is great news for people with 1080p sets!
I would imagine people were expecting something akin to boost mode. That's system-wide for them.
Same and it only happens on era. It's like my spell check and prediction does not work on this site. I'm using Gboard btw as well. I don't know if this is related to either using era from Chrome or Android. I'm using a Pixel and getting this issue.
I doubt it wasn't cooking but agreed. This is why competion is healthy and why a one console future is for the birds.
Yah but usually supersampling options in PC games imply that enabling them WILL bump up internally rendered resolution. That's not happening here.
That's what I get for not reading until the (Dream Drop Distance) part. Oh well, looks like Ys VIII is supported though, so I'll get to enjoy that with crisp IQ and new translation. Definitely makes up for the PC version being delayed again.
if your pc games doesn't provide the option to display resolution higher than what it's programmed to, then no..i don't think you understand what supersampling is. (unless you are talking about meddling with .ini config files and the whatnot which is a moot point for console games)..
are you confusing supersampling with upscaling?
This will be fantastic for Kingdom Hearts. Just got a Pro and sold my PS4, I'm waiting for it to arrive so I can continue my KH playthrough without expecting any improvements, so that's great news.
This is way the fuck off topic, but sometimes the font size on my posts get screwed up when I post on mobile using Chrome. It's weird as hell.
It's much, MUCH worse.
It's seriously one of the best games I've ever played, but the performance in base PS4 and 4K mode on PS4 Pro is a mess, absolutely terrible. You have to consider that IQ is also affected by framerate, as it translates into temporal resolution, and you lose clarity in motion if the framerate is lower.
Maybe for a 4K TV I can see an argument being made, but since you're looking into supersampling, I'd argue you'll lose image quality for going the downsampling route in this particular game.

Also, in the latest news-update the admins said they're looking into it.
The Last Guardian gave me headaches every time i played it because the framerate was so bad. Still think it's one of the greatest games on Ps4, but an average of under 25 fps is unbearable.
Maybe you won't notice it as much.
Well, now I wonder if I should get a 1080p monitor for 100-200€ instead of a 4K one for 400-500€ and just upgraded in the future, when 4K HDR monitors are available at a decent price. Is it worth it to spend 300€ for the difference between "native" and supersampled 4K?
Good question. Interested as well.

What about Netflix, though? From what th1nk said, running Netflix at 4K gives you access to a higher bitrate, that could benefit 1080p users, right?
Same here, I also use Swift.
OT: I don't have a Pro, but this is definitely a good feature to be implemented. Better late than never, I guess.
In the menu if you are in the beta, if not wait until release.
Yeap.
When Sony blocked the devs to do supersample ingame it was pretty obvious that a system option was a matter of time.

Uh that's not true. I have noticed it like 2-3 dips but they appeared like a sort of bug to me. Otherwise fps it's very steady. I have it. Even in 4k is still better of the ps4 base at the end.
The registration is still open, go for it just in case.

This and Boost Mode makes PS4 Pro an incredible console for 1080p TVs. Glad I bought one a few months back!
