Digital Foundry: Scorpio Spec leak - "might suggest console isn't the "true" 4k console as MS claimed"

Alright, I have a theory

So the ps4 pro has more or less 3 modes with the devs that care enough

1080p high detail
1080p performance
1440p-1800p checkerboard with ps4 graphics settings

So maybe what Scorpio might have for the devs that care enough is

1440p high detail with checkerboard
1440p performance with checkerboard
4k Native with ps4 graphics settings

Note: high detail doesn't mean pc max, it just means higher than ps4

The reason is if we look at benchmarks for a 480 (Scorpio's GPU might be more powerful with higher vram, CUs and Memory Bandwidth)



It is capable of 1440p in optimized games and then we look at 4k benchmark



Well... 23fps at PC max isn't bad considering the card and what it's trying to do but lowering the settings enough to what ps4 has might be enough to make it run at 4k. But of course, it will be heavily game dependent.

From where are you getting these modes from ?

As far as I know very few games have such modes in PS4P. Hopefully exclusives will get this treatment. Very few devs will put in time for such modes. Biggest problem with PS4P is that it is not getting 1080P high gfx asset  game. Same will be the problem with Scorpio. It specs will not be utilized properly. The way I look at it is say PS4P running a game at 1440P Scorpio with same performance can run it at 1800P

But other sites have pretty similar results +- margin of error framerates

Just remember that this is the average fps, so the game does go lower and higher
