Sniper Elite 4

Performance overview

Sniper Elite 4 operates at native 1080p across PS4 and PS4 Pro with unlocked frame rates and full v-sync. Base PS4 performance fluctuates unevenly between 30fps and 50fps. PS4 Pro utilizes its additional power for visual upgrades including increased draw distance, foliage detail, shadow, and reflection quality, while targeting 60fps. While heavy combat drops PS4 Pro performance to 40-45fps, it offers significantly smoother playability and input response compared to the base model. PS4 Pro is the definitive console version.
