Project Scorpio vs PS4 Pro: the spec differential
Despite the scale of today's reveal, we don't actually know that much more about the ways in which multi-platform software will vary between Project Scorpio and PlayStation 4 Pro. We went in knowing about a six-teraflop GPU and a huge boost to memory bandwidthand that's exactly what Microsoft has delivered. We guessed right on the 12GB of GDDR5 (fairly clearly signposted in the original E3 reveal), and this means that Scorpio versions will benefit from higher resolution textures where they are available. Where we got it wrong was in the make-up of the GPU. We predicted a slower but wider GPU to get to six teraflops. Instead, Microsoft has defied current-gen constraints and redefined the way consoles are built in order to push clock-speeds up closer to desktop GPU counterparts - a brilliant achievement.

They did it :wow:

So basically the same CPU :beli:
They focused on the right things to upgrade for higher res/VR.

Do keep in mind that there are people with old ass parts such as the 2500K and can run VR just fine. Hell even the AMD 880K is "VR Ready".

This thing is going to cost $600 minimum :wow:
Yea an overpriced pspo with no tangible advances outside of an a hug and I'm sorry to x bots for releasing the Xbox one.

Jesus. System is premium rape

.From what I've seen so far, there is some evidence that Scorpio's true 4K performance could pose a challenge to the likes of Nvidia's GTX 1070 and AMD's Fury X-class hardware. I've seen Microsoft's new console running a Forza Motorsport 6-level experience locked to 4K60 on the equivalent to PC's ultra settings - cranking up the quality presets to obscene levels was one of the first things developer Turn 10 did when confronted with the sheer amount of headroom it had left after a straight Xbox One port. Out of interest, we tested Forza 6 Apex with similar settings at 4K on GTX 1060, 1070 and 1080. Frames were dropped on GTX 1060 (and a lot of them when wet weather conditions kicked in), while GTX 1070 held firm with only the most intense wet weather conditions causing performance dips. Only GTX 1080 held completely solid in all test cases. It's only one data point, and the extent to which the code is comparable at all is debatable, but it certainly doesn't harm Scorpio's credentials: Forza 6 Apex received plenty of praise for the quality of its PC port.

Buy anyway, yeah this thing looks like a monster on paper.

Plus backwards compatibility with old games? The best thing Microsoft did was dumping that jerk Mattrick and refocus on what the brand is supposed to be about. Great Job by Phil Spencer and the crew.
