PS5 Pro: Hogwarts Legacy! All Modes Tested! FPS Improvements!

[@_Refurbished_]

Hogwarts performance mode hitting a native looking 4K has been the biggest jump I’ve seen on my Pro thus far. The base performance mode isn’t even close.

[@Crashed131963]

The game looks and plays great in 60fps mode on the $450 Ps5. If there is a improvement it sure is not a $250 improvement in game play .

[@_Refurbished_]

@ Not on my 85” TV it didn’t. Had to switch to quality mode to get proper resolution.

[@Crashed131963]

Im playing on a 60 inch 4k . I think its 1440p upscaled at 60fps in performance mode . looks good to me . I'm absolutely know it looks and plays very good for a $450 device I can put up with a less shiny floor in a game and lower resolution but 30fps can be seen and felt the entire game . 30 is what it is and there is no fixing that .

@@Crashed131963dude there are some pc guys spending 2000$ for a graphics card too see shiny reflections and you complain about 250$ 🤦🏻‍♂️ i am so done wth guys like you 🙄

@@Thor86- fr the gpu difference is definitely more than what a 250 dollar gpu upgrade would do on pc.

I've gravitated towards the balanced mode uncapped on the Pro. Seems to keep above 60 the majority of the time. Weirdly, all the modes perform better uncapped except the Fidelity with RT, which seems to perform much better capped on my LG C1, 120/VRR on etc. Not too sure what's going there.. Keep up the good work on the videos! Great to see how all these games perform on the Pro.

I used to think VRR wasn’t a big deal, but now I can’t imagine not having it. I highly recommend getting a tv with VRR before getting a Pro. Having a TV with VRR for your PS5 will be a bigger upgrade than the Pro itself.

Love the content man, I'm hyper analytical about things and it's nice to find content that feeds that.

[@MrRighteousfish]

I have the PS 5 pro and a A95L sony television. The game looks and runs great

[@ArtnGarden]

Great video! The frame counter is really helpful.

[@Crashed131963]

I think a locked steady 60fps is smoother than bouncing between 70 fps to 100 fps constantly . Even VRR can help that much of a frame Rate fluctuation .

[@MajorBen]

@@Crashed131963 personally I disagree. Looking on my VRR tv, 70-100 feels much better than a locked 60. But each to their own!!

[@Thor86-]

20-30 fps is a huge difference it will feel definitely way smoother than 60fps

[@MRFUTURETECHNOLOGYGAMING]

Unfortunately this game will never get the 4K60 with rate tracing treatment but that's a technical limitation of it being the very first version of a unreal engine 4 game and unfortunately this version of unreal engine 4 is not really all that well optimized for console The one thing I don't like about this game that it is not using the lastest version of unreal engine 5 as of it was being made and released basically what I'm saying is the version of unreal engine that they're using is not very efficient for consoles and is really demanding

[@nicodimus2222]

As long as I have 60fps, I'm generally happy (my TV doesn't have VRR, so anything over that won't matter.)

[@Crashed131963]

Same , most people have 4k/60hz TVs but 60fps looks smooth so it's ok .

[@jesusalberto3145]

If you have a pro your really doing yourself a disservice

[@Crashed131963]

@@jesusalberto3145 It is bad enough the $700 pro needs a $30 stand and a $80 disc drive now it needs a expensive TV as well ?

[@thrashmind7724]

Which mode do you recommend? Also I’m getting a lot of stuttering in certain areas in the pro is this an issue for you as well?

[@HiBMlive]

I am happy VRR exists in these games so ps6 can play these at high performance and we won’t need devs to update fps caps like ps4 games are now stuck at.

[@vectoralphaSec]

I dont have all those options. I only have quality, quality with raytracing and performance mode.

[@bfhandsomeface409]

Do you still think the PRO is a good bit better than the standard PS5? I'm debating on getting one at Christmas if the upgrade is good enough.

[@billygovaert6198]

Hi, I had PS5 and now got the PS5 pro for a week. I do have a 4k tv with 1300nits and 144 Hz vrr. And for me I find it really worth it. I play horizon forbidden west and the crew motorfest. Haven't tested other games. I really see the difference. It's like they say quality mode with 60+ fps. In reality the games look way better then u see on KZbin. For me it's a YES.

[@MajorBen]

for me as well its a yes on many titles. some are incredible, and some are just okay upgrades. but im more interested to see new games and what their pro modes are when they launch! but personally Im very happy with the system. but you need a good TV for it to show!

[@Thor86-]

If you buy the PS5 Pro, play Stellar Blade on the new Pro mode with HFR on. Believe me you will be sure that this console is worth every cent 😉😆

[@Oomy75]

I've been playing hogwarts legacy in fidelity ray tracing mode with my Samsung tv motion game plus settings turned on, it buttery smooth & feels like it's 60fps. The only downside is slightly higher input lag which you cannot notice

[@adams.4105]

Thanks for your PS5 Pro coverage! It’s been great getting a game by game look. The Pro version of Hogwarts has allowed me to leave behind the stuttery mess that is the PC version for good. What a great patch! Performances mode is so good.

[@MajorBen]

awesome to hear buddy! glad you like the new version! looks so good! thanks for watching as always! have a good one!

[@Thor86-]

I really dont know which AAA game runs smooth on Pc, Silent Hill 2 Remake is a stutter mess, Alan Wake 2 too and Jedi Survivor is worse.

[@79Dtrain]

Watched a video the other day and I think that youtubers conclusion was it was best to play in uncapped performance mode over high framerate because there is a fidelity loss. How big the loss is not sure 🤔

[@79Dtrain]

Unrelated but apparently the Pro update just released for Calisto Protocol today. 4k full ray tracing at 60fps 🤯

[@Hylander_1989]

[@redfirefox3568]

Hogwarts looks a lot better in performance mode than on base PS5. Looks very close to 4k but I don't think it uses pssr. No info on that anywhere online.

[@MajorBen]

Agreed, looks much better. Pssr implemented across all modes form what I’ve read online.

[@MVPlayer123]

I am still stuck on deciding what’s the best pro settings for this game I have a ps5 pro and a lg c4 oled

[@jdjdjdjdjd8490]

Sadly even with cap on this game suffer from stutter I usually do not mind playing 30 fps games on the ps5 but even with this game it did definitely go under 30 frames per second in the rt mode I will either wait a patch or play it on the ps6

[@Crashed131963]

I only play in 60fps mode on a Ps5. 1080p/60 is better that 8k/30 any day .

@@Crashed131963 It feels fine to me but yeah 40 fps is better and is available some times and sometimes the vrr window is lower than 48 fps and then you can play some 30 ish fps games with smoother frame rates if you have a vrr tv

[@Crashed131963]

@@jdjdjdjdjd8490 If a game is playing at a locked 30fps (or any frame Rate) then VRR is pointless. VRR is just to smooth out games that have large Frame Rate fluctuations and prevents tearing . One thing the Ps5 does well is if you play in 30fps mode ot 60fps mode it holds very close to that frame rate . You do not need VRR in a game at 60fps but it may drop to 57fps one in a while for a nano second, they human eye can not spot that .

[@densetsu4286]

I dunno about this game. Hogwarts on ps5 pro for me has been a glitch fest. Gonna try to uninstall and reinstall it at some point to see if that helps.

[@Docan690]

Can it stay locked 40 FPS in fidelity RT mode?

[@kevindenuijl2992]

How many times can you say you drop below 48 and it shows 120 So freakin annoying

Good console just need some games for it now and there not coming anytime soon and until they do i dont think the ps6 wud be worth buying let alone the ps5 pro
