And Richard Reedbetter, founder of Digital Foundry , a site that reviews games from both hardware and software, checks to see if performance changes with traditional system software and version 21.02-04.00.00. Did.
The software used by Mr. Reed Better was Control Ultimate Edition and Devil May Cry 5 Special Edition , and the former was set to 'photo mode' that removes the frame rate limit of 30 fps.
Reed Better reports that playing both games with version 21.02-04.00.00 was still 1-3% faster, even with a margin of error set to 1%. Ray tracing and lifting frame rate limits may be conditions for faster processing, Reed Better said. In addition, since the games that can make the same settings are limited, it is not possible to verify whether the processing speed will increase in other games as well.
Ars Technica, an IT news site, asked Sony about the impact of applying this version 21.02-04.00.00 on game performance, but it seems that no answer was obtained at the time of writing the article.
In addition, you can see how Mr. Reed Better talks about performance in the following movie.
