ESO on PS4 Pro - is there an option to activate better graphics?

Hey there! Got a Pro some months ago and just returned playing ESO on my console. Is there an option to activate the PS4 Pro ESO graphics? I ask because I don't have one but the guy in this video has

0:12.
If I'm honest I don't see any difference between the normal PS4 and the Pro that's why I ask if there's an option. Or is the difference so minimal in the end? I thought lightning / colours would be better (I don't own a 4k / HDR TV but a Full HD).

What about fixing this problem one year after the Pro version of ESO was released? Why can't I choose the graphic options on my 1080p TV although they're even existing for non 4k TVs?PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -1 -

On your PS4’s “home screen”, go to “Settings” (should be to the right of “Trophies”, and left of “Power”). From there, scroll down until you see an option labeled as “System” (below “Power Save Settings”, and above “Initializarion”). Upon clicking on it, scroll down until you see an option listed as “Boost Mode”. Make sure that it is checked, and from there return to your “home screen”. Voila. Finished.2 -

So... What exactly is your question? If you have “Boost Mode” activated on your PS4 Pro, and you lack a 4K television; or monitor... What exactly are you trying to do?0 -

It was supposed to have been fixed in a recent update. I believe when Clockwork City hit? There were reports that folks with a 1080p set and a PS4 Pro started getting the 1080p enhanced graphics by default. When connected to a 1080p set you will not see a toggle between enhanced and regular.
If you are not seeing the upgraded water reflections then it sounds like this isn't working for you. There is a work around though. Check out the following thread.

You essentially fake a 4K display via Remote Play and set ESO to use 1080p enhanced graphics. Once you plug your 1080p set back in you will continue to see the enhanced graphics.Edited by signed8bit on February 20, 2018 9:07PM2 -

@signed8bit Wow! Thank you for posting this! I didn’t even know about this neat little feature. Thanks for the heads up, if I should ever need it.0 -

✭Yes, this was supposed to be fixed with CWC as signed8bit points out.

"Fixed an issue where the PlayStation 4 Pro would not automatically be set to 1080p Enhanced Mode when playing on a 1080p display." Filed under "Miscellaneous" - "General"
@Seraphayel if you see water reflections, then you're good. If not, you could try deleting local game save data first to see if that fixes it - see

If not, then @signed8bit has already posted the more "involved" solution

Have the 4k experience without having to fork out the cash for a 4k tv.

The PS4 Pro in 4K mode has the static reflections. In the video you posted, when 1080p Enhanced is selected you can see the more dynamic reflections enabled. Here you can see the actual environment reflected in the water vs. the previous mode's more "suggested" reflections.
If someone with more knowledge of 3D rendering can throw down the correct terms for these two techniques please do. 2 -

There is an option for better graphics on a 1080p TV as well. So using a Pro on a Full HD TV gives you Better graphics as well BUT you don't see the option for that in game if you don't own a 4k TV.PS5EUAldmeri Dominion- Khajiit Arcanist -0 -

Yeah it is very obvious when you know what to look at and what to compare! I got it know, thanks. And I'm happy the workaround did work for me although the option in game is already gone.

✭In the ps4 5.50 beta update there is a option to enable "supersampling" which fixes all of these issues. It really enhances the graphics for ps4 pro players without a 4k TV...truly awesome!1 -
