"Xbox One Can Do 4K Gaming"

[911^NEmeSis]

Perhaps relativily simple games yeah. I don't think we'll gonna see the next AAA fps though.

[kuddlesworth9419]

A Raspberry pi can do 4K gaming but it won't run very well know would it.  (I am probably wrong about that but you get the point I hope).

[piplupgao]

it can but at like 2 fps

[YellowDragon]

4k gaming on consoles? Yeh ill believe that when pigs start flying. There is no way any game would run at that resolution natively on the Xbox, it would be 720p upscaled. True 4k gaming there is no way in hell a console could pull that off when Dual Titans or Dual 7970 are required for anything an acceptable 60 FPS, even on Consoles which run at 30 FPS or god forbid 24 FPS, which I highly doubt the GPU has the Vram or grunt to even drive that.

Haha I think its more like 1080P scaled up to 4K by the TV. It cannot actually do 4K gaming. Its just the same old trick they pulled with the current gen consoles and 1080p... or 720p for that fact.

 

Its 480p scaled up to 720p/1080p. No difference in quality at all. In fact in most cases it makes it look worse. I know 1080p from my Xbox 360 when I still owned it looked worse than 720p and 720p looked worse than 480p.

Huh? most current gen games are 720p a very select few are 1080p

On console they're neither.

[Opsilon]

I think they might do the same xb 360 did with 720p so it looks better, but i think that PS 4 has a better chance of doing this because of the faster memory, but i do not believe it's "true" 4k.

Consoles have an advantage because the games are optimized for their platforms, so we might see a lower or maybe mid settings but 0 MSAA, but again i still doubt any of the consoles will be able to pull of "true" 4k

Other consoles such as? The PS4 and Xbox One already play at 1080p.

Are they out yet? Current Gen is still X360 and PS3.

[sof006]

No they are not but they have already been shown to play at Full 1080p... as for 4K however I doubt they'll do that as PC's cannot do it yet without massive performance hits. It'll be 1080p upscaled to a 4K TV and made out to be "4K".

 

Current Gen can only do 480p upscaled or in rare occasions 720p....

[MrPlow]

I am sure this will be the next PS3. A lot of old people got the PS3 since it has a Blueray and was around the same price of a Blueray player. So this will be the 4k equal.

No?

Most games run at 720p, some of them run at 640p or something inbetween, a handfull at 1080p and then there's Gran Turismo which runs at 1280*1080

If you say so. Honestly looks like 480p to me. 

[TheProfosist]

 really? cause idk if you realize how low of a resolution 480p is even compared to 1080p or even 720p especially since the only proper widescreen 480p resolutions are anamorphic.

On the bigger resolutions of 720p or 1080p it looks even worse because to me it just looks like 480p thats been stretched. Like on the Wii when you stretch that low pixel count image across a 40 inch plasma....

PS4 will not support 4K gaming...and it has 8 GB GDDR5!

To be honest I am not surprised. The console hardware, regardless of what RAM it has is still limited. Yes the PS4 is more powerful than the Xbox but its still using less powerful hardware vs a PC and if a PC can BARELY do it. A console certainly will not be able to do it.

[GrievingJosh]

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.

It's worse than that because it's a Jaguar APU, and isn't the CPU side of the Xbox One clocked at something ridiculous like 1.6Ghz?

don t forget that out of that 8gb less than 4gb is usable by the gpu, the other 4gb is eaten away by the os at idle. (imagine at load) . ram isn t everything too the gpu core is weak too imagine running 4 displays from a 7790, it will work but it ll be slow...

Yes very limited hardware if you think about it. Running at 4K resolution will require quite a chunk of memory. I know you need at least 4GBs of VRAM in order to achieve playable settings on 4K.

this is true but like i said before, that is true for good looking games, tetris will run fine at 4k, and tetris is a game so MS can say it ll game at 4k... (and most people will think they re talking about bf4...)

The clock speed on the PS4 is supposed to be 2.7GHz so if that is the case then it might end up being the same or around the same on the Xbox One.

XBox 360 supports 1080p yet most games play in 720p. I'm pretty sure we'll only be seeing content up to 1080p on XBox One unless some company decides to make some 2D game in 4K for some reason, because that's the only way you can get it to run at decent framerates on that system.

 

However I bet 4K out will only actually be used to play movies.
