Aha! Oh wait, are you actually one of the like...9 people who care about KI?

CPU will hold the games back in 1080p in 4k its not the cpu doing the extra work its the extra memory, memory bus, memory speed and additional GPU power that does the work.

If its close to a 1070 thats really impressive.

My Ryzen 1700 even holds back my 1080ti in 1080p capping it at around 100-150 fps in some games when it could do much more if it had a faster cpu but in 4k since the gpu will not be able to achieve those framerates the cpu can relex and keep it around 60 with no problem, this should be the same case for the scorpio since its balanced quite well.

The CPU will only be a limiting factor if the Scorpio, like the ps4 pro, turns out not to be able to handle those higher resolutions since the benefits on lower resolutions will be very limited.

and obv. you are right people will always over-hype things, same goes for new nintendo or sony hardware when the best thing to do is just wait until the damn thing releases and see on digital foundry what happens :P

Actually. More people own a PC.

Scorio has to "share" that bus with the CPU. It has to "share" it's limited memory with the CPU. It's Apples to Oranges.

It's a shame AMD didn't keep the Fury X around... Even though it's several years old at this point, it is still faster than Scorpio and the Radeon RX 580, it's much less efficient though.

But you are right, the RX 580 is mid-range crap, equivalent to the GTX 1060, just shows how far behind AMD is when compared to nVidia.

Vega should hopefully close the gap a little though, but it might not be available in quantities for months...

Flops though is not a number that can be used to gauge performance of a chip. It never has been. Never will be.

Scorpio does have one advantage. It does offload some demanding processing typically done on the CPU... And moves it into the GPU. So it does have more CPU time than what the raw numbers imply.

Ryzen is a pretty forward thinking CPU. Even though it may hold you back at 1080P today... In a few years hopefully that situation changes.
Mostly Ryzen is limited by clockrates right now that limits single threaded performance, but where it does stretch it's legs is in heavily threaded scenario's where it truly shines.

The problem could be the engine.

It has great lighting effects but maybe that's very resource intensive. SFV appeared to make a lot of visual sacrifices to achieve 1080p/60 fps. Such as low quality shadows, 30 fps background animations, and objectively bad physics on clothes/hair. MKX's graphics aren't amazing but has good lighting effects and is overall well polished.

However, the expection for UE4 is Gears 4 looks fantastic and achieves 60 fps in multiplayer. MS has shown more potential with engine than probably any studio.

Guilty Gear XRD is on Xbox one? 

True, yet 1536x864 is a 1.44x increase, pretty close to a 1.4x increase in gpu. Close although ps4 also has a lot more effects with a slightly slower cpu.
The pro may be bottlenecked as the jump to pro is much smaller than expected, or they simply didn't spend much time optimizing for pro. Full 1080p60 instead of going for 1440p checkerboarding plus upscale. Longer loadtimes too. Seems to be no more effort was put into it than tweaking some sliders.

Anyway it's up to exclusives to get the full hp out of pro and scorpio. I don't expect multiplats to make them sing.

Well it probably has more than 9 fans considering its had about 4 years of support.

I'm not gonna say its the best fighter this gen, but its the freshest. I'd take KI over anything else we've had this gen. Because all the other fighters this gen aren't much different than their predecessors.

Wow 720p and 864p?

That's not okay. Some weird resolutions we got in last gen.

I really wanted KI in the first 2 years. But I just don't like the characters that Iron Galaxy have been making since they took over. I liked what they did for season 2 but after that it kind of killed my interest.
