So a 40% better GPU is now better by a wide margin, but it was pretty negligible between the PS4 and XB1 for DF.
The difference is measured in flops, not percentages. Computing doesn't give a shit about percentages. PS4's advantage translates into a few more frames per second here and there, a bit better res in some games. That's typically about it. The delta between PS4K and Scorpio is almost 4 times as large as between PS4/X1.
Now that MS is talking about "those sweet uncompressed pixels", I don't think we're too far off from DF making a big deal about resolution again, "that it matters" again...... and 5-10 fps differences matter and will be a 'world of difference" again.
What? They have always talked up res differences. Even when the difference in angular resolution (which, btw, is what actually matters to the eye) between 900/1080p when sitting 6-8 feet from your TV is negligible.
I just don't understand how these guys even put their speculation pieces together.
Well they did actually bring out some meaningful speculation about RAM amount that is pretty important imho. So that's a nice catch by them.
Surely, speaking about all that power, you would want to showcase it with exclusives since MS maintains it's up to developers if they want to have their game only on Scorpio.
No, MS is absolutely not 'maintaining' that message. They have literally said the polar opposite. Go check that thread to catch up (read the OP).
Interestingly, October 2016 falls just in-line with Sony's rumoured Neo release...
...rumored by whom? Osiris's info was Q1 2017 iirc. Got a link by chance? Also, you seem eager to paint Neo as having Vega and Scorpio as having Polaris. Why?
I'm also pretty sure that the Vega 10 GPU's would also easily exceed 6TF of power even at lower clockspeeds, since Vega has an even higher performance per watt ratio over polaris.
Ha, ok actually nevermind my previous question. I think I see why you are twisting things around to support a strange scenario. You seem to want to cling to the idea that Neo will somehow end up more powerful thanks to some utterly massive upclock and a Vega architecture while Scorpio's capabilities are being embellished and is likely using inferior architecture to Neo. That's the impression your post gives. :[
There's no way these devs can speak of 60fps...
Excuse me, but wtf? There is literally no more qualified group of folks to talk on this matter than actual devs targeting Scorpio. Thank god you are here to clear up the nonsense coming from these devs. /s
I'll tell you something, it's not happening with Jaguar CPU's, but that statement form Bethesda is certainly ironic with their output in recent years.
He is referring to Fallout VR coming to Scorpio I think.
