Titanfall 2 on XOX can go above 4K with Dyanmic Superscaling

will it go...even further beyond?

Perfect excuse to go for the hardest difficulty playthrough.
I think there's a limit at 16K with this technique. Not that hardware will hit it, mind you.
How is it a waste of resources. They are already at 60fps and have a ton of GPU to resources to spare, so this is how they are choosing to use it...
well on a technical level it's basically just setting the target resolution to 6K and letting the console try to make it.
Since you'll only render at a resolution you can make it to 60FPS in anyway, it's not like there's a downside to setting a target resolution at 6K, as long as you design your levels to not push it below native too much

Is it using PC Ultra graphics though, otherwise what's the point?
Good example of the performance gap though I guess.

Fair point. I'd like to know this too.
I don't think that's right. With superscaling (fun word), you are keeping the output to be 4K because otherwise, you would need to downsample to suit the display. I mean, it depends on the point of view, but I imagine for the sake of frametimes and bandwidth it not as simple as increasing the target resolution.
Though, would be nice to hear from a Respawn about it in more detail.
right, so they claim. Destiny 2 is not a good looking game. Battlefield 1 looks MUCH better and runs at about 48-55 fps on xbox one.
I'd imagine not. Especially the Very High settings they patched in along with this update for PC (which was based on changing the .ini settings to push the LoD etc. the highest possible).
Their plan is to get 4k60 in the areas where it struggles the most and use this to get better IQ in the areas where there are resources left. I don't believe Titanfall 2 has dynamic, uh, graphics settings built into its engine (outside of textures ofc.)
I wouldn't expect the game to be running on X like that, sounds like it hit that resolution at a certain point while playing. Though it may also have been on a devkit.
not the same game style, engine, etc
ah yeah, i think i'm getting tripped up on the terminology here
HDR 10 is already dated sorry.
Speaking of HDR. I wonder if these XboneX updated games will tackle HDR and hopefully bring the HDR and Optimizations to PS4Pro.
The CPU is hot garbage, don't even try to refute that. 60fps will never become commonplace on consoles with that CPU.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?

I can't wait to stare at walls in downsampled 6k
True, but it's fair to ask whether the performance limitations are due to the style of game, an inefficient engine, or limited hardware.

next stop 8K?

image for scale
Just so you know, this image is a complete load of crap. The scale is all wrong. This one below is more accurate.

Digital foundry is about to have so much traffic this fall doing all these render/performance/comparison tests. Can't wait.
It's almost like there is one piece of hardware that's causing a bottleneck that has nothing to do with the visual capabilities of the game.

Battlefield one on xbox one is 720p most of the time, and it's DICE. We already know those games take full advantage of the platform they're on. Bungie games haven't for a while and while D2 actually is a fairly pretty game with some updates that bring it into the realm of other modern shooters, it's visual appeal was always going to be more based on its art style than anything. 'Good lucking game' is highly subjective. IF TF2 is able to run at times in 6K when the Pro only renders it at 1440p, they obviously didn't take full advantage of the Pro because there's no way the GPU and CPU boost can account for that difference.

Holy fucking shit.
And the game runs at 1440p on the Pro 😱

What's the difference?
I think you're reading the labels wrong.
(it does get 2k wrong but that's it)

And we get to experience that on what TV? People didn't even begin to jump on the 4k wagon... Now we have SIX KAY!!
Downsampling.

6k downsampled to 1080p. Oh boy haha.

True 6K.
That'll be my experience! Oh lawdy. Gonna be able to play less than an inch from my TV without noticing any imperfections.
I've been suuuuper critical of R2 as a huge R1 fan, but honestly, the next update sounds lit af and the campaign has always been the best.

destiny engine is just a mess, that techically isn't doing anything amazing. a lot of the physics could have been offloaded to dedicated server's. it's more of bungies cheapness if anything

Even Scorpio on 4K sets gets downsampling, not just 1080p TV's. The gap is increasing...!
Your scale looks exactly the same, just zoomed out to include 8K....
It's the same scaling...
At this point that is hard to believe after seeing some of the games that got to 60FPS on a standard Xbox One and seeing the games targeting 60FPS on Xbox One X.
