| Soundwave said: The AMD 7xxx series, which is the GPU supposedly in the PS4 has a listed spec of 4k max resolution. So it's not a big deal for the PS4 to have it. So will the 720. Hell basically any device with HDMI 1.4 can output 4k from my understanding. Just don't expect games to run at 4K unless you are talking about having the PS4 run something with like really basic visuals. 4K if anything will be for the main menu and video playback ... provided you even have a 4K TV, which most people will balk at (memo to TV makers: no one wants to upgrade their TV every 2-3 years, just like no one would upgrade their fridge or dishwasher or bathtub every 2-3 years). |
Why is it so unfeasable to think games can run in 4K.
There are people running Dark souls on pc with the resolution mod fix all the way up to 5120x2880 to get 2xfsaa (or super sampling) on a 1440p monitor. The witcher 2 has uber sampling too (just another name for fsaa) which renders the game internally at 3840x2160 to display scaled down on a 1080p monitor. Next gen arcade games should have no problem running in 4K.
It will probably just be the same as this gens list of 1080p games. Mostly arcade games, just a few full price games.
And what's this stuff about upgrading tv's every 2-3 years, I bought my 1080p tv 6 years ago, I'll be looking for a new one in a couple of years.
