Forums - Gaming Discussion - This is what Xbox games look like on 'Project Scorpio,' - windowscentral.com

"We recently got a look at the visual improvements that will be available to owners of the upcoming "Project Scorpio" Xbox. And they're exciting, to say the least."

 

"At the private event, Microsoft demonstrated Project Scorpio's 4K enhancements, supersampling on 1080p TVs, and various design techniques artists can use to utilize Project Scorpio's sizeable GPU overhead to enhance images with finer details.

The first demonstrations showed a scientist lady in a lovingly detailed steampunk laboratory. (See image above.) Unfortunately, the images shown here only represent tech demos, rather than actual games. And that's a shame because I think she looks rather awesome!

First, let's have a look at the differences between 1080p and 4K. Microsoft used these images to compare what a game running on Xbox One would look like stacked up against the Project Scorpio version, which runs all the way up to 4K. Pay close attention to the details in the background, face, and hair. Everything appears far sharper in the right images, which are powered by Project Scorpio."

"What this all means"

"While you will undoubtedly need a 4K set to see the true benefits of Project Scorpio, you will get many enhances textures, geometry, and effects on standard HD displays. These images show enhancements Scorpio can make to existing Xbox One titles by virtue of resolution bumps alone, without any additional tweaking and features that utilize Scorpio's monstrous specs."

What do you guys think?

Are you hyped for 4k?

I don't have a 4K monitor, nor do I even have a 1080p one. Could you guys that do give me a rundown on the difference? I can't really tell from my screen.

They are both 1920x1080p. So your monitor is fine.

The image is zoomed in, I think, so they take up the same amount of space.  Its just Xbox One vs  Scorpio in 4k.

Look at the papers on the wall in the background, her hair, glasses ect... there are differnces.

Open both up to full size, and swap back and forth.



I see only minor difference in contrast nothing more



This is the best confirmation I've seen so far that I don't need a Pro/Scorpio.

as one would expect, sharper image quality.
Also supersampling for 1080p screens improves image quality by quite a bit. For those without a 4k TV.



LOL it had better be a whole lot better than this. I have a 4k screen and its essentially the same. Just like the PS4Pro.

It doesnt show well on this page.

If you go to : http://www.windowscentral.com/how-project-scorpio-enhances-games-at-1080p

There is the image with a slider, and you can pull one picture back and forth, and see the differnces.

They are there. Everything is abit sharper.

Paper on the wall, books in the back, hair

Easy to see with the slider in the article.
