They should have rendered 1440p or 1800p and upscaled using checkerboard rendering to 4K and supersampled down to 1080p. That spreads the workload equally between the 4K and 1080p outputs. Rendering 4K creates and huge workload to supersample the large image down to 1080p, creating frame rate stutters that are totally unplayable.

1080p gamers are the majority of Bethesda’s customers, so they should be getting an improvement not an unplayable game.

It still suffers stuttering pans and jerky jumps, compared to the smooth PS4 version. Skyrim is a joy to play on the PS4. It’s a real pain to play on the PS4 Pro. It hurts the eyes, gives you a headache and breaks the immersion as you look around.

This is the same old story from Bethesda. The Skyrim patch is still bust with a truly awful frame rate that stutters as you pan, forcing me to play it on the PS4 where one of the best game ever made is glorious.

Bethesda have a history of releasing games with horrendous frame rates on Playstation and arrogantly assume that gamers will just suffer in silence. I’m getting tired of it now and may have to blacklist Bethesda like the Assassin’s Creed franchise because nothing changes, even when we get better hardware.
