Brief Keef
Superstar
Digital Foundry has the specs, has seen it running, and has talked to the people who built it.
Amazing........ DX12 is now built into the hardware also porting and updating games is extremely easy. freesync will be enabled and supersampling... That is forza 6 running native 4k60fps on ultra settings with much more room to spare. MS did an amazing job with this thing... https://pbs.twimg.com/media...
some interesting quotes below
"what we have is a more modest evolution of the Xbox One unit. But the GPU is a beast. It's very, very fast."....Eurogamer
"Microsoft has made a commitment that (unlike PS4 Pro) all improved Scorpio modes for games must be available regardless of the display that's connected. So even with a regular 1080p TV, you'll be able to choose between performance modes that make the game run better, or resolution modes that will then "supersample" the 4K image down to your 1080p display, which should give you superb image quality - basically, a fantastically smooth and pretty picture. It's like having the ultimate anti-aliasing solution..... Eurogamer

"smashed it. At the same graphics quality settings as Xbox One, the demo ran at a full 4K resolution, at a perfect 60 frames per second. For Xbox One to do this at a standard HD resolution of 1080p uses about 90 per cent of that console's power. Scorpio was only using 60-70 per cent of its resources to run this demo. The graphics settings were then ramped up to the equivalent of the ultra settings on the PC game Forza Motorsport Apex, and Scorpio still didn't break a sweat.
So that means...
Scorpio potentially has enough power not just to run Xbox One games at 4K resolution at the same frame rate - it's got power to spare on improving their looks further, with higher quality graphics settings, smoother frame rates, and more."..................E urogamer
