The PlayStation 4 Pro has , like a significantly faster GPU—an update that was basically required in order for the console to push 4K content. But what about older games—shouldn’t they be able to take advantage of this increased performance, too?

PlayStation 4 Pro 具有 ，例如显着更快的GPU，这是游戏机推送4K内容所需的基本更新。 但是，较旧的游戏又如何—他们也不能利用这种提高的性能吗？

In a nutshell, that’s exactly what Boost Mode does: it allows older titles—ones that haven’t yet been updated specifically for the PS4 Pro—to take advantage of the system’s increased power to run faster and smoother.

简而言之，这就是Boost Mode的功能：它允许较旧的标题(尚未专门为PS4 Pro更新的标题)利用系统增强的功能来更快，更流畅地运行。

什么是升压模式？ (What Is Boost Mode?)

While the PS4 Pro’s CPU is basically the same as the older model (and the new Slim model), the GPU is much faster, and the RAM  too. New games will automatically take advantage of this increased power, but if you’re a longtime PlayStation gamer, you likely have a catalog of games that were released long before the Pro hit the scene.

PS4 Pro的CPU与旧型号(和新的Slim型号)基本相同，但GPU更快，RAM 。 新游戏将自动利用这种增强的功能，但是如果您是PlayStation的长期游戏玩家，则可能会有在Pro出现之前很久才发布的游戏目录。

The thing is, many modern games were starting to push the original PlayStation 4 beyond its limits. Some games are known to run as low as 15 fps (frames per second) on the PS4’s aging hardware, which is, by most standards, borderline unplayable. Knowing this, Sony built a feature exclusive to the PS4 Pro that would allow most older games to simply run faster and smoother by utilizing this improved hardware.

问题是，许多现代游戏开始将原始的PlayStation 4推向极限。 在PS4老化的硬件上，某些游戏的运行速度可低至15 fps(每秒帧数)，按照大多数标准，这是无法玩的。 知道了这一点，索尼建立了PS4 Pro独有的功能，通过使用这种改进的硬件，可使大多数较老的游戏运行得更快，更流畅。

Many games that struggled to hit 30 fps on the original PS4 will chug along at a buttery-smooth 60 fps with Boost Mode enabled. The aforementioned 15 fps games should easily be able to hit 30 fps. Sony even says that load times may be decreased (which I’d actually attribute more to the faster RAM than GPU), and that’s always a bonus.

许多在原始PS4上无法达到30 fps的游戏都将在启用加速模式的情况下以60 fps的速度流畅过渡。 前面提到的15 fps游戏应该可以轻松达到30 fps。 索尼甚至表示，加载时间可能会减少(实际上，我认为归因于更快的RAM而不是GPU)，这始终是一个好处。

Of course, with this sort of tweak there can be unwanted side effects. Sony notes this in the Boost Mode toggle, which basically says if you experience anything weird in some games to turn it off. I haven’t personally had any issues, but it’s worth keeping in mind anyway.

当然，通过这种调整可能会产生有害的副作用。 索尼在“增强模式”切换中对此进行了说明，基本上可以说，如果您在某些游戏中遇到任何奇怪的问题，可以将其关闭。 我个人没有任何问题，但是无论如何都值得牢记。

In a nutshell, if you have a PS4 Pro, this is a feature you want enabled. And if you’re teetering on the fence when it comes to investing in Sony’s newest console, Boost Mode is, at least in this writer’s opinion, a huge plus in the “do it” column. Boost Mode rules.

简而言之，如果您拥有PS4 Pro，则需要启用此功能。 而且，如果您在投资索尼最新的游戏机时步履蹒跚，那么至少在笔者看来，Boost Mode是“做到”一栏中的一大优势。 增强模式规则。

如何启用升压模式 (How to Enable Boost Mode)

This feature isn’t enabled by default on the Pro (likely to cover Sony’s behind if it ever does cause problems with a game), so here’s how to make sure it’s activated on your system.

Pro上默认未启用此功能(如果它确实会导致游戏问题，则可能会覆盖Sony的落后功能)，因此这是确保系统上已激活该功能的方法。

First, make sure your Pro is up to date before looking for this feature. Boost Mode was introduced in the 4.50 update, so you’ll want to be running that version or later of the PlayStation software.

首先，在寻找此功能之前，请确保您的Pro是最新的。 在4.50更新中引入了增强模式，因此您将需要运行该版本或更高版本的PlayStation软件。

Then, jump into your Pro’s Settings menu. It’s the suitcase-looking icon in the Action Bar.

然后，跳到Pro的“设置”菜单。 它是操作栏中的手提箱图标。

From there, scroll all the way down to the System entry—it’s near the bottom.

从那里一直向下滚动到“系统”条目-位于底部附近。

Boost Mode is a check box a little ways down the screen. Toggle it to on.

增强模式是一个位于屏幕下方的复选框。 切换到开。

Boom—that’s it. Enjoy your newly smoothed-out games.

繁荣-就是这样。 享受您新近解决的游戏。
