Users on NeoGaf have been testing a wide range of games, and have been posting their impressions along with videos and GIF’s for some of the games. Of the games that have been tested so far here’s the reactions with some also including video/GIF comparisons.

A lot of these are great choices to play if you have a gaming projector, the visuals on the FPS are really enhanced.

Note: Boost mode will do nothing extra for games with pro patches which is why those games are not on this list. It could however help for unpatched games that had a pro patch.

Alien Isolation

Minor framerate drops are now gone with boost mode.

Arcania

Improved framerate.

Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag

No visible improvements with boost mode.

Assassin’s Creed: Unity

This has been called one of the best upgrades with boost mode by far. AC: Unity was plagued with performance issues and still had some after patches. Most notably was that the game ran pretty bad when in crowded areas, but with boost mode, it runs extremely smooth.

Here’s a video to show how great it’s running with boost mode activated.

Assetto Corsa

Running much smoother with boost mode.

Attack on Titan

Improved framerate.

Batman: Arkham Knight

Screen tearing issues are pretty much non existent when boost mode is on. Another great difference out of all the games with boost mode on.

Batman: The Telltale Series

Runs much smoother. Original mode can drop to as low as 15FPS.

Battlefield 4

Battlefield 4’s online was plagued with framerate drops online and dropped to as low as 35 FPS. It’s now running at a very stable 60FPS and looks great! Maybe the best of them all?



Bloodborne

Bloodborne also runs smoother with boost mode, but isn’t perfect and still has some framerate issues even with boost mode on. Here’s a GIF comparison.

Bioshock Infinite Remastered

Solid locked 60FPS with boost mode.

Borderlands : The Handsome Collection

Still suffers from slowdowns, but not as much with boost mode.

Broforce

“Broforce runs better, but it’s still not smooth. Definitely a noticeable improvement.”
