In reply to daemon fear. A shame your precious DX12 2.0 isn't going to magically make that hardware run actual textures at 4K/60, except for maybe those garbage MS Studios games with the 2007 textures.

In reply to daemon fear. Oh god, you are going to be SO disappointed. The only cards able to do 4K＠60FPS with good details have 9 TFlops or more. Native 4K with decent framerate with 6TFlops is going to be hard. Games might end up look better on PS4 pro, even though it's not native 4K. Mark my words.

In reply to daemon fear. Unfortunately the Scorpio just doesn't have the horsepower to do native 4K@60fps for high fidelity games. Even PC's that can do it need >10TF from a graphics card. The only type of games the Scorpio can do native 4K@60fps are less graphically complex titles like Borderlands or Minecraft.

In reply to Thiago. Its not the rendering that is the problem with older games....it's the shortcuts and non-standard tweaks made to the game engine that are not forward compatible.

In reply to daemon fear.

The vast majority of the PC population still uses 720p & 1080p resolutions. Xbox One users are 1600x900p, PS4 are mostly 1080p.
And you’re telling him that 1440p & 1800p are just not good enough…LOL
Checkerboard 4K will be good enough for consoles. The Elite PC users (<10%) will be running solid 4K on the same games (if they are released in both console and PC formats…..so who cares?!?!?!

Translation for those unable to understand the article….
The Frostbite engine used in older games (Battlefront) does not lend itself to an easy implementation of the checkerboard 4k process recommended for the Pro.
The newer Frostbite engine has been optimized such that any future games may include that process with little impact to development and would only require tweaking for maximum effect.
Note: That other game engines may not have the same difficulties in updating older games with the checkerboard process as their game engines handle graphics differently.
