Activate PS4 Boost Mode - it really does it
The new Boost Mode can be both a blessing and a curse on the PS4 Pro. We show you what the mode can do, how to activate it and when you really need it.
Activate Boost Mode on the PS4 Pro
- Since the PS4 firmware update 4.50, the PS4 Pro has been equipped with the so-called boost mode. Above all, this should speed up somewhat older games that have not been optimized for the PS4 Pro.
- Both the GPU and the CPU are clocked higher by the boost mode, the bandwidth of the RAM is increased. In games with variable frame rates, the gameplay should be much smoother.
- However, the boost mode is currently not a silver bullet against slow games. Not every game benefits from the acceleration. Some games run significantly better without the boost mode.
- To activate or deactivate the Boost Mode on the PS4 Pro, visit the "Settings". In the "System" category you will now find the "Boost mode". Here you can switch the option on and off if necessary.
