“So I just bought a PS4 last December of 2015 and now this new pro is coming out. I wanna know if I should purchase a pro but I do not own a 4K tv. So my question is will the PS pro show better graphics and smoother frame rate on a 1080p tv vs the PS4?”

Wanted to add comments and comment on Neo's comments... If you're buying a new PS4, then the Pro is a no-brainer. $100 more for more than 2x the GPU, 1/3 faster CPU, faster RAM, etc. If you're getting it as an upgrade for one you already own, it's kind of personal preference/your financial situation, etc. You don't need a 4K set to benefit from this in games. A higher resolution is one way games will get upgraded, but not the only way. Sony's page on the Pro actually does a great job giving examples of how the extra power will be used. (It's ultimately up to developers on a game by game basis, but their examples are dead on the money.) Honestly I think MOST benefits to graphics/frame rate will be obvious on a 1080p set also. <<
>> All of that is speculation. There's no reason it can't have a quality cooling system that's quieter than the original model. << >> It's not "possibly in about 1 year", it's *RIGHT NOW*. RIGHT NOW new PS4 games are support Pro, and actually a surprising number of older games have patches to enhance graphics on it too. Gamespot's got a list, with basic info on how games are upgraded on a 4K set, and a 2K set: http://www.gamespot.com/articles/every-ps4-pro-game-that-is-and-isnt-getting-an-upg/1100-6443385/ If your'e like me and want games to look and run as well as possible, Pro's just a no-brainer. << >> No, Sony's requiring supporting the Pro. It shouldn't really be that huge a deal for developers, given they're already having to play around with various settings to get things to run well on a given platform...I mean the PS4 is already quite a lot more powerful than Xbox One, and obviously on PC you've got 90 billion different levels of performance, so Pro just adds one more to optimize for. << >> There's been some suggestion that some older games might get patches that cost money (I don't think that's unreasonable to allow publishers to charge, given obviously they're having to go back to an older game and do additional development on it). With new games however (including everything coming out now) the support is on the disc, and is required. And they're not having remake the game, just target different graphical settings basically. You can get a good idea what developers are doing both from Sony's page, and Gamespots. Higher resolutions, HDR, higher frame rates, more graphical detail, higher draw distances, more effects, etc., etc. Could throw in more physics too. Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, PS4Pro will enhance your games, period. You don't need a 4K set to notice improvements. Some games will run at faster frame rates, some will enhance visuals at all resolutions (1080p 4K, etc...) some will have additional features, it's a beefier PS4, devs can do more with the hardware.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Keep your slim you won't notice much of a difference to warrant the expense until you Hav to tv to support it. If you didn't Hav a ps4 slim I'd say just go ahead to pro from start. Why go backwards .
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you don't have a 4K TV and you don't plan on getting the PSVR then there is no reason not to wait on upgrading to a PS4 Pro.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yeah, you'll still be able to enjoy the new graphics and increased frame rate regardless on what resolution your TV is.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.theoretically yes. however, we do not know how much of an impact it will actually have until we can be hands on. sony and game developers only talk about higher resolution, 4k this and 4k that, but you are supposedly able to toggle 4k on/off, or something along those lines. if that is the case, and you do not boost graphics and boost performace instead, the difference should be noticeable. without knowing how big the difference is, i would not buy it unless you have a compatible 4k, hdr tv. id wait for more information if your display is 1080p or lower.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No, The Ps4 Pro will not be worth it unless you plan to buy a Playstation VR. The Pro takes double energy, will have double the heat and sound like a loud hair dryer. I'm all up for new technology but this Pro will NOT have True 4k resolution. It has been explained the PS4 Pro will be a 1080p gaming console and up convert 1080 to 4k. But also I can play a regular Ps4 and my 4k tv will up convert 1080 to 4k. So do you buy a Ps4 Pro system that up converts? or let your 4k tv do the job? The only other real advantage a PS4 could possibly have is in about 1yr you may start to see games have a normal PS4 mode and a Pro mode. But it's for the future of gaming not today. So maybe in time Sony will give us a real reason to buy a Pro. But then again Pro modes are up to the publishers. If they want to make the game 1 way? Then that's it. If it gets enhanced? Then it's not a promise but possible. Could the Pro content be like a paid expansion ? Most likely because it takes extra time to remake a game 2 times. So now you paid for a Pro and you must Pay again to see that difference.
