When you I usually cover the whole CPU, didn’t know all I needed was a pea-size! of War Ragnarok on a base PS4 or PS4 Pro, you’ll have two graphics modes to choose from. The game runs at a locked 30 fps in the default “Favor Resolution” mode, and can reach native 4K at a higher frame rate (or 1080p at a 60 fps lock) with the “Favor Performance” option. The latter also adds features like physical-based rendering and tessellation to the mix, which can make the world of Kratos and Atreus look more lifelike than ever before.

The performance mode is an excellent way to experience the game, especially if you have a 4K TV or monitor and are able to play at a high frame rate. It eliminates a lot of the visual issues that plague games that don’t run at 60 fps, such as stuttering on a 60 Hz screen or a rapid change between 30 fps and 60 fps when there’s a lot going on in a scene.

The Perfect CPU Application: From Full Coverage to Pea-Size Precision

It’s not uncommon for developers to cap their games at 30 fps, as it’s been found that a guaranteed, steady frame rate is preferable to a variable frame rate that can occasionally spike into the 50-60 fps range but can drop down to just 20 fps when there’s incredibly demanding gameplay in place. However, we’ve been seeing more and more developers experimenting with uncapped frame rates lately, and God of War is no exception. The game’s performance mode allows players to enjoy the game at a stable frame rate of 55 fps or higher in either of its two graphics modes, and it also supports HDR for PlayStation VR.
