No need to apologize! Given the rampant fanboy culture that pervades almost all gaming threads, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking that someone is defending their tribe when they post a positive comment about a particular platform. I’ve never subscribed to the fanboy mentality. I judge everything on its individual merits. Fanboy mentality is just an overt manifestation of ones own insecurities. Your question is a good one, and tbh, I don’t know the answer. If I was to hazard a guess, I would say that clock-speeds are just one facet of processing power and that those compute units give you considerably more processing power. Going forward, I expect to see more games shifting traditional CPU tasks to the GPU and those compute engines, especially in the area of AI, because things haven’t really moved on in this area since the likes of Halo:CE, Half-Life 2, & FEAR. If anything, it feels like it’s gone backwards.

First, thanks for the video, it’s good stuff. But right off the bat the Scorpio has a 70Gb/s memory bandwidth advantage, and prolly a better cooling solution (vapor chamber unit), Tflop comparison isn’t a 1:1 comparison cuz of different architectures so who knows. However that I7 is prolly way stronger than Scorpio CPU, but this is what I’m saying, we don’t know, what to fully expect from parts fully customized, from the motherboard voltage, to the cooling unit and APU. So I’m not pretending to know either way. I’m basing my opinion off the Forza demo, and Scorpio simply outperformed a GTX 1070 setup (which very likely had an I7 in it). Does that mean all games will run 60fps? Noooo. Who’s saying that? You? Cuz I don’t see it. But it does insinuate that we can expect a mid-high end range of PC quality content from the box, imo. That’s what Xbots are hyped for, it’s that simple, nothing else.

Nah JP, read their comments again, those are clearly PC guys……u tryin to fool me gebroney?! Lol

I’ve seen them but even on my LG OLED 4k tv it wasn’t worth it. 4k 60fps will be the standard starting with the Scorpio and will only improve but not with the pro. In the terms of hardware it will continue to get left behind until a ps5 where Scorpio will keep the advantage until then and the next Xbox. Either way happy gaming and enjoy what you enjoy

I came home and just turned on the old youtube and guess what? Digital foundry have run an analysis of a gtx 1070 laptop. It’s fate lad check it out and tell me now how many native 4k 60fps ultra settings games will run on scorpio, as the forza test would imply. Also bearing in mind this laptop isn’t using an old 8 core jag like scorpio.

Hello Dan wassap bud. Listen I first want to apologize if my comment was a bit snippy, when I start arguing I get in the zone. But you seem to know your stuff so I have a question. I know how pro boosts non patched games. The pro has a double gpu, 36 compute units, twice that of the original ps4. Ps4 games are designed to run on 18 compute units. When you run an unpatched game on pro it just uses the 18 units over clocked along with the over clocked cpu. So the hardware is actually identical to base ps4 accept faster. Opening up the other 18 units on an unpatched game would actually not show any improvement. But as Scorpios hardware is completely different how can it boost unpatched games that weren’t designed to run on that hardware?

Actually that gamespot link is just a straight up question to gamers, 4k 30 or 1080 60. Doesn’t mention pc anywhere. Here’s the link again in case you missed it.

Hold up, I’m talking console gamers, who, really you said Xbox gamers who think Scorpio will run all games 4k 60. But anyway those forums are PC guys man…

The Pro is a very nice of kit and offers terrific pound-for-pound value. What’s really holding it back is the support from both Sony & third party developers – you just don’t know what benefits you’re going to get, if any, from one title to the next. Especially for 1080p tv owners and the super-sampling farce. When you get titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider, Horizon: Zero Dawn and Wipeout, that do take advantage of it, the enhancements are clear to see.
