I'm saying whatever GPU they stick in the Scorpio will likely be at par with RX 480. Just like X1 is at par with the 7770.

4K with current X1 graphics should be relatively easy with the big GPU upgrade. The CPU shouldnt be an issue for achieving 4K but it will get a boost. The thing is its gonna be 4K with essentally current console graphics, not max PC settings. But Scorpio may have improved textures thanks to RAM boost.

4K is lot of pixel. PS4P is aiming for 2K and from the leaks we know it has 36CU along with clock speed boost to gpu,cpu and ram to some 25-30% more. I am not sure it is going to do native 4K, may be some games will. I do not think it is fair to compare it with RX 480 because even if you build a PC for 4K or even 2K gaming. Putting all the components together I doubt it is going to be around 500 or 400$.

 

Scorpio's GPU will be custom.  It could sit between Polaris and Vega. Not knowing  the core/rop count its just too hard to tell what it will be comprable to.

It could be a downclocked Vega GPU (capable of more TFLOPS in dicrete desktop terms) that as a result of the thermal package needed/clock speed delivers ~6TFLOPS, but it could still manage to pack  the CU's, ROPS, texture units of that GPU.  In the end those will matter more in making games than the theoretical number.
