"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."
