God of War Graphics Comparison: Performance vs. Resolution at 4K 60fps

IGN: "We show off both Playstation 4 Pro modes available for God of War to really see the best of both worlds."

[StormSnooper]

Aaaaaaah almost here now

[AlphaCentyros]

We’ll get there bro, just hold on for a few more hours!!

[Lovable]

Performance definitely is the better choice imo..

[xenz]

If you like fps that fluctates between 40-60 fps then sure. Personally I prefer more stable fps, so resolution mode for me

[mikeslemonade]

Both modes are better than PS Poor though.

[WilliamSheridan]

Resolution mode fluctuates hard.. Sadly. But I'm still choosing res mode...

[killswitch80]

no its the performance mode that fluctuates hard not resolution.

[zaherdab]

i can't disagree that it is your opinion ... i do disagree with your opinion

[Lovable]

Fair enough.

[Muigi]

I’ll probably go with Resolution Mode until it gets patched. Its much more stable in that mode. Performance hovers around 45 and almost never hits 60. This is coming from DF people.

[Rude-ro]

My 240hz 4k tv will do the clear image so performance boost is not needed.
Latency only jumps to 40ms... no priority in latency for a single player game.

[InTheZoneAC]

Disable any bologna picture enhancement your tv has like motion blur, motion smoothing, soap opera effect, etc., otherwise you're ruining the experience.

[Ricegum]

He said latency only jumps to 40ms. So the experience won't be too bad.

[ILostMyMind]

I think all TVs have "game mode" and all of them disable the extra things.

[Babadook7]

There are a few TV's that can go 60 > 120 fps without increasing latency noticeably. A feature I really enjoy for locked 60 fps games.

As for God of War I will be playing it 30 fps resolution mode as stability is king.

[DaDrunkenJester]

Performance mode all the way!

Only 10.5 hours!

[Ceaser9857361]

1st walk through resolution mode 2nd/Platinum walk through Performance mode ... 50 mins more for me...

[DaDrunkenJester]

Lucky!

[Ceaser9857361]

Unlocked for me and The Game is Breath taking.. The detailings are Top notch.. And calling back the Leviathan Axe is so satisfying. Can't wait for Photo mode..

[ILostMyMind]

For me it will be at dawn. 😥

[killswitch80]

nah the frame rate near 40 fps most of the game ...and the res is a stable 30 fps...easy decision...fps jumps all over the place in performance and makes for weird experience ...stable frames all day

[Hardiman]

Doing Resolution first and Performance on the 2nd play through.

[Elda]

Doing the same.

[Hardiman]

Just a little over two hours to go! I so can't wait!

[BlaqMagiq1]

Going with performance mode. Love playing over 30fps. Don't care for 4K since I have a 1080p screen and supersampling.

[seanpitt23]

The game is a masterpiece full walkthrough here guys https://youtube.com/watch?v...

[1nsomniac]

In every single comparison video I've watched performance mode looks graphically better, I just don't get it..,

[Goldby]

The smoother animations may make a game look better as there's less happening in between frames.

[1nsomniac]

I clearly see higher fidelity on foliage & walls etc

[B1uBurneR]

The game look decent. But but but...

What a title. This game can't even reach 4K. I feel sorry for people whom spent extra $$$ for the pro just to find out that most their exclusives are best played in 1080p.

[Goldby]

I feel sorry for people who spent extra $$$ just to brag about 4k.

Hows sea of theives and its endless adventure and fun times picking up chickens and pigs?

[AspiringProGenji]

That water tho! Did you know there sre sharks in it too?

[SublimeStylee2]

Isn't bragging about 4k an Xbox thing with 10 year old games? Not actually new ones. Cuz that's all I ever see in Xbox articles.

[G20WLY]

^well... fins, at least.. 🤔

[Ricegum]

2 seconds browsing your comment history...yep he's a Microsoft troll.

Just ignore him guys.

[Elda]

Evidently they're jealous,envious & bitter.

[cell989]

I feel bad for you, you do t get to play the new GOW

[B1uBurneR]

I can play it. Chose not to, is different. I have to play bloodbourne firsr...Only time I play in less than 4K is when I have to ie xbox s, proud to have a 4K option = money well spent.

This game is just like the majority of ps exclusives it's a 1 and done. No rush..

[Goldby]

@burner

Ours may be a one and done for some players, but at least our games come out done.

Can't say the same for Xbox games.

I'd much rather have games that push the Industy forward than games that have no depth and require the players to make it enjoyable

[Razzer]

Xbox fanboy says God of War looks “decent”. 😂

[LoveSpuds]

What a pathetic specimen you are squire, you are only kidding yourself, nobody here believes a word you say.

[ocelot07]

Brags about 4K but mostly plays at 30fps or lower. Since I'm a 1080ti owner I look down at you X owners and laugh while I play all Microsoft games at 4K 60FPS goodness. While I brush my teeth with a 24 carrot gold toothbrush and whip my bottom with £50 notes.

That above is sarcasm by the way I'm not one of those people.

[Elda]

I feel sorry for folks that spent $500 on hardware & have no new compelling highly rated exclusives to play on it but old BC games & multi-plats.Graphically GOW looks better than anything being played on any rivaling gaming console at this very minute.

[Hardiman]

So true and even my wife's (whose not a gamer) asks what happened to Xbox lol! When I told her the X's price she said " who would spend the kind of money when there's no selection!"

[Hardiman]

GOW is quite possibly the best looking game to date and all you got is decent?!?! Missing the forest for the trees!

[ocelot07]

Think ill go with performance.

[LoveSpuds]

I have been playing it all evening, believe the hype folks, it is EPIC!!!

I have been playing in resolution mode and it plays like a dream and is utterly breathtaking to look at. I am really enjoying how difficult it is too, normal difficulty is surprisingly hard.
