Red Dead 2 is arguably the best looking game of this generation and runs at native 4K and a very stable 30fps on the X1X. The console has the ability to run most modern games at 4K/30fps if devs would take the time to optimize the way Rockstar did.
That is your opinion on RDR2, I'm not going to argue this....However, what's not fact is that the XBONEX is a 4K machine in the vein of PS4 being a 1080p machine. I think people are being way disingenuos with this Cerny thing, and they bring it up everytime there's a 4K native game on XBONEX and never when it does not, or when framerates suffer at high rez or when lots of games are DR. Yet, we all know what is being suggested here is not what he meant, that was not the point he made.....A GTX 1060 6GB has 3.8 TFlops, yet it runs games at 4k, it can run Forza at 4k, it can Far Cry at 4k, two recent games. That doesn't make it a 4k GPU across the board.....When someone says that, it doesn't detract from the fact that games can run at 4k on XBONEX or 1060....Cerny was simply talking about the standard resolution for a console....And bare in mind, he was talking about this gen, next gen that changes obviously, as graphical complexity and fidelity improves...
You seem fixated on pure compute power, while ignoring that X1X has an additional 3.5GB of usable RAM and an additional 108GB/s memory bandwidth over the PS4 Pro.
On the other side, the PS4 Pro has only .5GB extra RAM and 42GB/s extra memory bandwidth over the PS4, which is why in many games it doesn't have a settings/quality boost over the PS4.
The PS4 Pro is rendering twice as many pixels as the PS4, so your "persons just want to see the proper divide that a 100% uptick on PRO's GPU power should show over vanilla PS4" is actually funny. You realize that, right?
X1X is just a beast when shown the proper love. Have some respect for the over 60 targeted changes MS made to the pipeline on the X1X. dark10x already stated there was no downgrade to the Pro. This is the footage you've been seeing all along, just doesn't look so hot next to the sexy X1X footage.
What is this? I don't care for your copious stream of adjectives describing XBOX. I'm aware of the higher bandwidth lending itself to higher resolutions over the 40% spec, I even said that recently in one of my posts.....I have no issue with the fact that XBONEX is 4K here, I only have issue with the 4KCB on
PRO not looking as sharp compared to pretty much every other 4KCB game....Why are you guys intent on suggesting things no one said.....?
Sony stated that the reason behind the Pro was to be a stop gap for console users who tend to migrate to PC mid-gen. MS on the other hand needed to change the perception caused by their choice to spend their SoC money on Kinect. They wanted to win back the Digital Foundry faceoff advantage and change public perception. I'd say they put significantly more effort into their design, from the UHD Blu-Ray to vapor chamber cooler to 12GB RAM and more. I consider it to be the best designed console all-time.
The good thing for gamers is that MS has raised expectations for hardware design next gen with the X1X. Sony and MS will go at it and we all win.
No, I'd say, they came one year later at $100.00 more......Anybody could do that except Nintendo (Which doesn't care to).......Perhaps, such a post would carry more weight if the PRO and XBONEX came out at the same time with the same price, but we all know how that would turn out....Similar to 2013, but the weaker one would still be more expensive?
In any case, I want you to enjoy your beast at 4k, I'm happy for you....I just want my beast to perform 4KCB like has been done a million times before. Why is that troubling to you.....
