For one, you so know that you can plug a PC into a 4K TV....right?
Second, the claim that consoles are far better optimized has been around for awhile, and it has never really panned out to better performance. As for the Scorpio, so far we see and example of one game that is a best case scenario. Even Microsoft admits that the new Forza will not run at 4K 60FPS. Optimization can make a difference, but it is not black magic.
Third, seeing that modern consoles get game and OS updates they are in the same boat as PCs. That and keeping things up dated is not hard at all.
Finally, you don't need two 1080's to run 4K, unless you are looking to run as max settings. Lower them a bit and even a RX480 can handle a lot of 4K games. People will buy the Scorpio there is no doubt. However not caring to put a PC together is simply an argument for being lazy.
-and how much do you think a decent 4k tv costs?
-its not a claim its a objective fact
- it absolutely will do 4k at 60 fps and they did in fact say & confirm that do you just not care enough to do any research?
"For demonstration purposes, Digital Foundry had Microsoft show off a demonstration of the Forza engine running a challenging scenario and found that the Scorpio was more than up to the task of delivering at 4K and 60 frames per second. The team used the original Xbox One as a benchmark of sorts: the Scorpio should be able to do at 4K what the Xbox One could do at 1080p, the logic goes. And for this title at least, that seemed to be true.
The team can push ForzaTech to the equivalent of PC's ultra-level settings and we're still sitting at 88 per cent GPU utilisation; in terms of system utilisation, this is ballpark with Xbox One at 1080p on its default settings. Clearly this is just one game, but the point is that Scorpio doesn't just scale Xbox One engines to 4K. For the Forza engine at least, there's overhead, and plenty of it."
"No doubt a bunch of 4K games will too, but for now Microsoft has shown just one:
Forza. In tech demo shown to Digital Foundry, Microsoft demonstrated how Scorpio is able to run the game at a native 4K resolution, and at a locked 60FPS. While the demo was "basically an Xbox One port," that GPU utilisation was at 60-70 percent while it was running is an impressive feat nonetheless."
its been said many times. it can and will be 60fps.
running 4k games on one 480 is a joke and you either arent serious or dont know what youre talking about. I didnt think the conversation was about the shittiest possible way to run 4k on a pc.
is there a reason to run 4k at barely 30fps on medium settings with a monitor that cant handle it anyway? or some imaginary 100$ 4k tv?
Call it lazy all you want but the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of humans on earth do not have the time patience ability or money to build a pc, and its not a reason to attack them its just the way most people live.
you do what you want and enjoy and let everybody else do what they want. it isnt that complex.
fact is, like I said before, if you want to build an actual 4k gaming pc you are spending in the thousands. go on any builder forum, toms, wherever they will all tell you the same.
