"Xbox One Can Do 4K Gaming"

[Jack.EXE]

XBone has 768 Stream processors, which puts it at around 7790 territory, I cant see anything less than a 7950 Running 4k.

[Lays]

I just googled 7850/7870 benchmarks for 4k, closest I could find is 5760x1080 resolution:  25 fps for the 7850, and I believe 4k is like roughly 1.5x more than 5760x1080, so I'm thinking... 10-15 fps on the games.. Unless they absolutely utterly destroy the textures on the game, I don't see this working.

[Humbug]

What he said is not wrong technically. Just that it's not practical. If somebody asked my if my old 9600gt VGA could support 2560x1600 resolution I would have to say yes it can. Obviously devs would be stupid to target 4K resolutions and they will go for the smarter choice in lower res with playable framerate.

 

Ha, what is basically an FX 8320 and a Radeon HD 7850 playing 4K games. Makes me laugh. Only the higher end cards (780, Titan, 7990) can even touch 4K.

FX8320? Isn't it a lot weaker than that, not architecturally but because of the clock speed.

Let's all slam the Xbox One without reading the article. I'm sorry but you seem to have taken that quote out of context to get this response. Your quote is insisting Microsoft is saying it can game at 4k while that is the Forbes article saying that.

 

 

“The video and interface portions, absolutely. Games developed for 1080p will run at 1080p, obviously.” It will support up to 4K at launch for things like Blu-Ray, but what about later? “There’s no hardware restriction there at all.” 

 

They never said games will be made for this resolution or that you will be gaming at 4k. It's supporting 4k just like the PS4 is with movies, videos, and the interface of the console itself. A question was asked about if it could support other things later on and all that was said was that the hardware does support it. 

 

I get you don't like the console but it seems to be blind hate with out reading up on anything. 

[eshbop]

Hold up guys, no one from MS has said that the Xbone can run games at 4K.

 

The author asked the MS guy "It will support up to 4K at launch for things like Blu-Ray, but what about later?" Which to me implies 'What if we need support for greater than 4K content'

To which the MS guy says "There’s no hardware restriction there at all.” Which is just saying that the GPU can render 4K', which isn't at all surprising

 

All the 4K gaming talk came from the author of the article, not the MS representative.

Of couser i know that but what microsoft says  otherwise he will put a sticker that says "4k Games" all over the box, i would like to see for example Watch Dogs 4k ready at the box too. that's why also in the video of the showcase of all the content never say such a thing they even bother to say "hey is 4k" Console gamers know a shit about resolutions.

 

Ignorance is bliss.

The super awesome Xbox One gamepad will hava a micro USB connector for charging and/or wire transmition. Micro fucking USB? On a gamepad!?! Worst idea ever. It will NOT survive a week!

[Emkryan]

If I read this correctly, the Xbox One and PS4 have like the power of an HD 7850ish, which totally will not do well when gaming at 4k, but I def could be wrong :(

<3

It's called "up-scailing" same thing they did/do with PS3 and 360. They don't play 1080 or 720 they just take a much lower resolution and stretch it

[TopWargamer]

[Darell3]

prob just a scaled 800x600 reso on 4k.

[Godlygamer23]

Ha, what is basically an FX 8320

Not really. It uses Jaguar cores, while the 8320 uses Pile driver cores.

[Horjey]

yeah, i have a feeling that it is only for the TV feature, as 4k will defiantly become more avalible within the life time of the Xbox One.. not so much gaming...

[Whiskers]

It can render games at 4K at acceptable frame rates. Probably not games like Battlefield 4 or Halo 5 - but perhaps games such as Journey, Minecraft and HD remakes of previous games.

 

Keep in mind that the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 are perfectly capable of rendering 3D games at native 1080p. Most developers simply choose not to target that as rendering at 720p gives them a lot more freedom to add in extra textures, models, lighting, particles etc. There are still several games available for both which run natively at 1080p however - Virtua Tennis 3 for example runs at 1920x1080 with 2xAA.

 

The Xbox One and PlayStation 4 will both be able to run games at 4K, just obviously not at the same quality as they can at 1080p.

[silencerbob]

4k? Muahahaha I don't think so.

[samuel]

Don't worry, we will play console games on VM@ 4K with a pirated islands video card in two years max!

[onionring]

well it could play tetris at 4k, (but what cant) so MS isn t rly lieing but it s really close to it since xbone will have trouble running fps at 30fps at 1080p.

[TheProfosist]

Consoles already only do 30p in most games and studios have already said that peobably isnt changing just because their more powerfull because being prettier sells not more fps. And it probably cand do 4k on super ultra low?

It has already been confirmed that Battlefield 4 will run on both next gen consoles at a resolution of 1920x1080 at 60fps. It was a primary target of the development team when they began creating the title.

 

I don't like the Xbox One whatsoever, but those be the facts.

there was a debate that game dev would choose between good graphics 30 fps and weaker one 60 fps,

i was refering to the better graphics games.

Give it a few more years when the consoles become sufficiently outdated in comparison to PCs and I guarantee we will begin seeing 1080p@30fps games, but for the moment it seems quite a few of them are targeting 1080p@60fps.

 

And I would consider Battlefield 4 one of the 'better graphics' games. FrostBite is an incredibly robust and capable engine for rendering high-quality visuals in both gameplay and cinematic forms.

[ivhyn]

Of course it's possible, if you turn all the settings down so it looks like a PS2 game it can run 4k for sure. 

However, the graphical fidelity the games have at 1080p won't be reached at four times the resolution, unless cloud-gaming really works...

[ACatWithThumbs]

It will work for sure but only on some few games.
It will be the same like on the Ps3/XBox360 almost all games run on 720p  and some Indie Games run on 1080p.
And on XboxOne/Ps4 we will see normal games running in 1080p and Indie games that aren't demanding in 4k.

[bradscoolio]

Ha! No it can't, don't be silly.

[legopc]

haha what a joke

That game was Theif and The Crew. Not sure what they end up going with though.
