What is your point?

As a hardware enthusiast you would think you'd be enthused about what they accomplished for the price.  Same goes for Nintendo if it is priced right we might be seeing quite a powerful device for a mobile/hybrid device. 

He won't be enthused about anything if isn't on a PC. The guy clearly has an agenda and is trying to make a paragraph where Eurogamer guys clearly give THEIR opinion seem like a paragraph where they reported Cerny's opinion writing in first person.

Let's get to the point here. They could either develop the checkerboard renderind technic or simply render games at 1600p or 1800p and upscale it. If the new technic did not provided any kind of image quality gain, why would they bother with it? They could just render at lower resolutions, upscale it and call it a day. So it's safe to assume that if they are actually bothering with it, it's because it provides gains.

From the screenshots we saw, it's actually quite close to a native 4K frame and probably undistinguable from a native one at some feet away. As nobody plays a PS4 game in a 70 inches TV sitting at just 3 feet, it's a smart trade-off.

The biggest problem with 4K is that the jump is too costly. I have an OC 970 and it won't cut it. Even the most powerful GPUs still suffer to achieve it as a good framerate. This stuff applied to PCs could facilitate the transition and allow more normal PCs to run 4K games at 60 fps. Because right now, we have a 4X gap in performance to do so and that's too much.

But in the end, he will just be happy about it when it arrives on PC. Remember that he is the guy that says that all console games will be on PC thanks to emulators, but conviniently forgetting that we are still waiting for PS360 emulators to boot most games created in 10+ year old platforms, so he shouldn't hold his breath waiting for it.

It just sends every thread into a downward spiral because it seems to always come from a negative perspective.
