Forums - Gaming - Scorpio wont do native 4K in most AAA games, its basic math

There are some AAA games running at 4k even on the ps4 pro like rise of the tomb raider or the last of us (although they look really bad when running at that resolution because they downgrade other settings to priorize resolution). So if they managed to put some 4k games in a 4.2 tflop machine why not in a 6tflop machine (on scorpio they will look like current XOne games or worse but in 4k probably just like ps4 pro games look like current ps4 games or even worse when running at 4k).

Also according to your logic
PS4Pro- 4.2tf
PS4- 1.84
1440p is the Pro which is 43.8% more powerful than the PS4. So the PS4 should run games at 630p which is obviously does not.



Surely PS4 Pro's 1440p would be 3,686,400 pixels (2560x1440 16:9), so it would be 125% more pixels.

I don't even know what that sentence he wrote means Kerotan. Is it good?

Anyway 4k does bode well for the system! If I had the Pro I would start off with a bit of native 4k 60fps Fifa, with a bit of native 4k The Witness and The Last of Us in between, finished off with a big of native 4k Skyrim.

Yeah the Pro is actually superb imo.  really affordable entry into the 4k world.  it will do the job for 3/4 years and then the ps5 can do true AAA 4k which neither the Pro or scorpio will do.

Yikes, no need to be so dramatic. Apply context to the post with the thread and its clear I am talking about its ability for AAA 4k gaming.

If Scorpio is barely going to do any of it, then logic dictates the Pro will do even less :)



The only thing MS needs to worry about is blowing people away with Sorpio's awesomeness. Xb one sales through most of 2017 should be down YoY as people start delaying their purchase in favour of waiting for Scorpio, meanwhile Sony should be benefiting from at least holding YoY sales because people will be buying Pro and upgrading to Pro.

Giving PS4Pro a year to settle in and give people impressive visuals (for a console) is a risky move for a console that is so far behind in global sales.

Ts is really a dumb for that comparison

We need to know every single component in Scorpio before we dismiss " Native 4k " running on that console
and please don't bring FP16 into the discussion with 8.4Tf when in reality i doesn't do much.



It will be able to do native 4K in most games. But 4K60 is out of reach. Especially if we are looking at a $500 or less console.

Battlefield running on a 1080 with a high end i7 averages about 44fps at 4K resolution. Scorpio's CPU will be far from this, and the GPU wont be at the same tier as a 1080. Even with console optimizations.
