Oh man, that is some great news then. For sure they'll use it.

So I was behind those closed doors and they said after porting it to Scorpio/X they had 30% free.. So they've been using it for other enhancements.
I don't imagine it will ship with that much overhead.

Thank you for clarifying.

Otherwise the power is wasted. Ideally you should be using 100% of the system's resources for better framerate, effects or image quality.

I hope it will be the same with FH4, but probably not.

Yeah, I mean.. Why not. It is impressive that they could bump it from 1080p/60 to 4K/60 and still have 30% left over to play with.
I swear that info was already in the DF or Eurogamer articles. The guy did mention that stat during the demo though.
The game looks fucking fantastic in motion though, we only got to see the Dubai track, one lap.. But.. Daaamn. Combined with their Dolby Atmos setup.. I had a techy hard on for a while.
They did say they look FH3's sky tech and implemented it into FM7. It looked really cool. The clouds cast shadows on your car. The damn clouds!
Is it impressive? It's exactly what you should expect. Going from 1080p to 4k is a around a 4x jump. That leaves you with around 20-30% of power left.
Well.

Does base gameplay in forza 7 still turn of object blur and such? They could use some gpu power for stuff like that.

Aaayyyy
It's only the GPU so there are a lot of limitations.
Need a better CPU for that. For computer quality, I should say.

You need overhead to have a a locked frame rate.
with that GPU, i don't doubt it. I expect it to be the case for most titles in regards to not taking full advantage of Scorpio's power.
What's striking is that even a low to midrange console(based on the low end CPU and midrange GPU of course) like scorpio is overkill for the types of games out for current gen.
Makes me think that devs could obviously go much further if they were not constrained by PS4 and XB1.
PS5 with a better CPU will be pretty good hopefully.

Really looking forward to picking up an X and Forza later this year.

Resolution alone would put you around there.
This is apparently also using much better textures, 16xAF and possibly LOD0 models for all cars on the track.

Tales from my ass.
1.2 x 4 = 4.8
6/4.8 = 1.25 so a 25% surplus.
The impression that I got was that they were talking about just Xbox one Forza at 4k leaving a 30% surplus. Textures and AF don't really eat up any GPU resources anyway.
Probably. How locked were the previous Forza's on the Xbone? If the Xbone version doesn't have any drops the XBX shouldn't have any either.

Nice.very Impressive. T10 sure know how to optimize hardware. I can't even begin to imagine what Playground Games will do with the hardware.

It doesn't matter who we are, what matters is our plan.
We'll find out in November!
I mean, without knowing if the game has any overhead at 1080p on a regular xbone it doesn't make for a good comparison on the grounds you're suggesting.
This is good, but I wish the CPU wasn't the bottleneck for consoles this gen.

That's some grade A console warrior action. Well done.

No, RAM is lacking.
I really really can't wait for this. I recently completed FM6, so bring it on! Looks phenomenal.

yet no destiny at 60fps
all that power and what is it good for?

Seems about right. I doubt many games if any will be maxing out the Scorpio during the launch window or year. I bet it can push some serious visuals in the future, especially if they use tricks like dynamic 4K scaling or checkerboard. Most being 30fps though of course.
Seems like Bungie wanted feature parity with the PS4 or PS4 Pro so it doesn't look like Sony has the least powerful hardware. I remember Microsoft saying it's up to the developers how they use it. They aren't forcing them to go 4k
Oh no, its happening. Parity reversal.
Unfortunately the RAM and GPU oomph isn't there to push it at the same level one would think.
Checkerboard or lowered settings, sure, it runs on the OG X1 afterall.
What has Destiny to do with this? Every dev can decide what it wants. Guess Bungie opted for 30fps over all console platforms.

I'm asking why devs want more power if they're not gonna do anything useful with it

That's on Bungie and their engine.
Maybe they think they are doing something useful with it.
Those two games have different demands for the CPU. We can't look at one game running at 60fps and expect all games to run at 60fps.
