I have never met a YouTube channel fanboy before. You undying loyalty to Digital Foundry is impressive. We can argue some more tomorrow, its bedtime for Sonytendo. Good night.

Are you shitting me? I have no "loyalty" to Digital Foundry. You're point, if you can even call it that, is nonsense and you have failed to provide any sort of backing for your ramblings.

I thought it's rather the opposite, keeping the drum going for xbox one scorpio.

The race for 4K: how Project Scorpio targets ultra HD gaming

What is damaging about that?

Once in the whole article they say On the face of it, the in-depth discussion of techniques like this may be suggesting that Scorpio isn't the 'true 4K' console that Microsoft marketed it as at E3 2016. Yet the rest is all about more capable machine, more titles in 4K, less basic ports due to more experience, more horsepower and more evolved techniques.

They're right to question the really true 4K marketing. From 900p30 to 4k60 with better textures, detail, draw distance. That's simply not going to happen. Instead DF discusses all the techniques that would make getting close possible.

And they clearly state: But to clear, this is speculation based on what we now know about new Radeon features open to Microsoft. The whitepaper we've seen - dated to just after Scorpio's E3 reveal - only confirms no ESRAM, boosted L2 cache and support for memory compression technology. Beyond that, all we have to go on is Microsoft's stated 320GB/s bandwidth, eight CPU cores - plus a motherboard rendering strongly suggesting 12GB of GDDR5 memory. How the final spec will shape up remains to be seen, but from the whitepaper details to the Vega enhancements available to Microsoft, we should be a seeing a highly capable 4K contender.

Why? Because they publish real information and have become one of the most legitimate sources of tech information on the internet, up there with the likes of Anandtech? I can see how that might be damaging.

Doing native 4k is such a vague therm anyway. I mean the PS4 PRO has a few games even AAA (Fifa) that run in 2160p. At the end of the day the Scorpio is more capable to provide a 4k picture than the pro. But both are able to in the right type of game.

They report the truth when they uncover something.
That cant really damage anything, unless the console makers are caught in lies or over hype.

They enlighten viewers. Thats a good thing for consumers.

Im with Pemalite.

How can be publishing "real" info be wrong? they are just enlighting people that view the videos.

Thats "good" for consumers. That way you wont be tricked, lied too, over hyped ect by companies.

They have the white paper, that tells developers how to make games for the scorpio.

It talks about how to reduce CPU loads, and how to reach 4k resolutions (sparce rendering & half rendering).

Just like sony does, it implies most games wont reach native 4k.

They are not makeing alot of assumptions, they are looking at offical papers from MS to developers.

And explaining whats in them to people, and what that means.

The damage Digital Foundry does by allowing customers to make informed decisions on what to buy, while marketing teams are lying to them? Oh the horror.

The only potential damage I could see is, if they leaked completely wrong specs and then didn't correct themselves.

With the Switch we still don't have the descripancy between the Foxconn DF leaks accounted for and the Xbone leak didn't include any actual specs, just microsofts recommendations for optimizing for the console. DF extrapolated from there.

depends on the price of the thing. if its 400$ that would be a fantastic deal. even 450$ is a great deal for what it offers.
