In this instance, it likely wouldn't run at a native 4k on the Scorpio either. The Scorpio should be able to hit a native 4k functionally always with 1080p X1 settings, and fairly consistently with 1080p PS4 settings, but anything running at sub-900p on the X1, or sub-1080p on the PS4 (which TF2 does; last i checked it's 720p on the X1, and 900p on the PS4) is going to present a significant challenge. Looking at the X1 to Scorpio; we're talking about 4.6x more tflops, but 9x the resolution. The Scorpio's tflops are going to have to be worth considerably more than the X1's to pull it off.

Lol, you need to relax.

But fp16, the secret sauce that is going to be in Scorpio, too? And why stop here, make it also compute fp8, making it a 24tf machine.

I keep seeing people say this but can't seem to find all those posters that said it. Like I haven't seen them....

But I honestly this is no big deal in my opinion their checkered should be more than enough....I wonder if the Scorpio would be able to do it that much better? Well time will tell.....I won't have either the Pro or the scorpio before 2018 so I am not really all that worried about it either way lol.

My point is that it was a joke. Obviousky no one that is aware of 4k and 1080p resolutions would suggest that they need 4k native to take advantge of their 1080p tv. 

Again, a tf number is telling you next to nothing in terms of real world applications as no application will ever compute that much to reach these numbers.

I went through this in the beginning of this gen and still do. Computers are complex systems with many components relying on each other and they have to work together to get something on a screen.

Add to that that different games have different demand on the computing systems so there isn't even a remote rule of thumb.

Additionally expect a new generation of the gpu meaning a different uarch underneath, being more efficient at computing.

Scorpio does not sell on the fact that it can do native 4k. It sells solely on the fact that the competitor can't.

It's the same with 4k Bluray. Nobody gives a shit until someone can't do it.

While TFs isnt by any means a unit of measuring performance (espevially when we consider that when its talked about its only referring to the GPU which is just ome part of the many components that make up a system) its still a very good way to get a generalized ball park of the expected graphical performance we can get from a system. 

Espevially when we have systems whose arvhitechtures are so similar either with eachother or with other systems on the market.

Eg, we know what an RX480. GTX1070, Tegra X1...etc can do under ideal circumstances. So it's really not that hard to realistically extrapolate from there on what other hardware based on very similar tech and configurations can do too. Not accurate, but it's the closest thing we can get. 

lol

trollollol

Seriously, how is this news anymore? If Sony first party is not targeting native 4k and Cerny boasts about checkerboard rendering then who the hell could still be expecting native 4K? I don't get it...

I got no reason to buy this. Will wait till PS5.
