The Scorpio as announced absolutely cannot deliver native 4k gaming. The 5.5 TF 480x is squarely positioned as an entry-level 1440p and VR GPU. Because everything is Windows 10 now Xbox won't get to the metal coding anyway, and we've seen from DF that in this generation the equivalent PC GPU for both the XB1 and PS4 get almost exactly the same performance (though PCs need better CPUs).
I mean the 8.6 TF AMD R9 Fury X card is not even a proper 4k card, with 512 GB/s bandwidth solely for the GPU on top of that. This is going to fall way short for that. So for 2015 games, the revered Anandtech writes:
It's a bit upsetting that they mislead people with their statements on 4k gaming cause it won't be native. Because of those lies the fact that the games will look awesome at sub 4k (e,g, 1440p upressed) will be lost to people. They needed to be more realistic.
They have something excellent but they're positioning it as something even better when it's not. 4k gaming from AMD will be Vega and much closer to 10 TF.

Sounds like bullshit. 4k gaming is easily possible with that GPU. Maybe not on maximum settings, maybe not 60FPS and maybe games that run on sub 4k but saying there won't be native 4k games is just wrong. I've seen benchmarks for comparable GPUs and they are able to do 4k 30FPS just fine.

Pretty much what I thought as well. All the guys who say even a GTX 1080 isn't enough for 4k gaming are talking about playing on high or ultra settings with 60fps. XBO games will run in 4k on Scorpio if they only increase the resolution and not all other settings as well to like ultra settings of the similar game on PC.
I mean, many console games run only in 30fps at least in singleplayer, as long as they wouldn't try to increase it to 60fps and 4k it should work with many games.
I hope we get the option for some games to play singleplayer either in 4k and 30fps or 60fps and 1080p + maybe some more effects. That would be nice if people could decide what they prefer and not always get a given setting like it is standard on console.
