that's... not actually possible, even if it costs $1000, right?

4K @ 30fps on a cut down AMD GPU based on whatever comes after Polaris will likely do it on the console side.

1440p @ 30fps being upscaled to 4K is probably doable.

It'll be interesting if they 'force' games to run at 4k on Scorpio, because there is no way that every game is going to be able to push 60 FPS @ 4k on what is roughly a Titan X.

Anyway, with a release at Holiday 2017, it means they are only roughly 2 years behind mainstream PC gaming and 3 years behind bleeding edge PC gaming. Not bad MS.

A GTX 1070 runs $380 for the consumer and will likely be a 'stronger' card than the one that eventually goes into the Scorpio, so I think a total price point of $499 isn't unrealistic.

Sony isn't bringing the Neo to E3 because there are no games for it yet.

Microsoft isn't worried about showing off no games, though.

Sony already said that the Neo exists but they aren't going to unveil it at E3, so you'll have to wait until TGS for that

I mean unless they panic because Microsoft showed theirs, but I doubt any of that mess was a surprise. Although the Scorpio does have the very highest quality locally sourced pixels.

Bought an Xbox One last month for 350, with two controllers and three titles (rare, tomb raider, master chief) and I feel like I made the right call. Sony is still my go-to console provider, so the Xbox One is for the handful of exclusives that don't migrate to Sony.

And no, I don't have a gaming PC.

So what is going to be MS's big AAA game for Holiday 2017 to launch with Scorpio?

Gears of War 4 is coming this November
Halo 6 isn't coming until Holiday 2018
Rare has been gutted and their struggling to make a sailing simulator MMO

Is it just going to be the next Forza and maybe rush job Halo 3 Anniversary by Saber Interactive? I hope they have something good

It's not possible with the way games look now, but some older 3D games and 2D games shouldn't have a problem at 4K60. There's a lot of nuance to the question so it's impossible to give a generalized yes/no answer.

A GeForce GTX 980 which is like a $600 card with 4 gigs of VRAM runs Witcher 3 at 4K with Medium graphics settings about the same as an Xbone currently runs the game at 900p.

Past history of 343i indicates 3 year development cycle. It's possible though I would hope it won't be a rush job. I don't think the Halo franchise can survive another MCC style fiasco.

quote:

Spencer cites Halo 5 as an example. While the game is capable of running at 1080p and 60 frames per second on the Xbox One, often the resolution drops in order to maintain a solid framerate. On Scorpio that won't be the case. "When a game like that runs on Scorpio," says Spencer, "it's going to run at maximum resolution the whole time."
