Posted February 3, 2015 We expect it won't be too long before the Xbox One and PS4 get their inevitable refresh, and there's a good chance it could come around the time of their two year anniversaries in November 2015. Those odds are now looking even better. Netflix exec John Hunt claims that Sony "promised" a 4K-friendly version of the PS4 that he expects to "eventually" support HDR, reports The Huffington Post. Sounds like Hunt said more than he should have. Since then, Netflix has toldForbes that it isn't in a position to speak about Sony's plans, but clarified that Hunt believes that when the PS4 and Xbox One do their (expected) two-year refresh, they'll add the component for 4K video playback. Ultra HD Edition The Xbox One at it stands includes HDMI 1.4, but that's not enough to deliver uncompromised 4K - a more difficult pill to swallow after all the fanfare about Microsoft's box being a one-stop entertainment hub. Despite Sony announcing a 4K video service for the PS4 back in 2013, the console doesn't currently support the medium either. It certainly wouldn't surprise us to see a refresh around November time. Maybe someone can slim the Xbox One down a bit too? We don't know if Microsoft has noticed but it's rather hefty. http://www.techradar.com/news/gaming/consoles/ps4-and-xbox-one-rumoured-to-get-4k-friendly-refresh-later-this-year-1283358 It seems impossible until it's done.

Posted February 9, 2015 Just wait 7 years for 4K gaming console. In that time PC can run games at 8K 144fps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted February 9, 2015 Repost :unsure: I feel like being able to play games at 1080p would be much more important than being able to play videos at 4k though. One requires an entire redesign, and much more powerful and expensive hardware than the console includes, and the other involves upgrading an HDMI port. Get some perspective.

Posted February 10, 2015 lmao You expect sony to make a console thats as good as a $4000 PC? Both companies can't even create a console that can run a game @ 1080p 60fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 15, 2015 LOL, consoles will never achieve 4k... To be honest the GPUs in the Xbox and PS4 aren't half bad its just the CPUs suck BIG TIME! Yeah this batch anyway. If the 380X is an early indication of what kind of GPUs the next consoles could have (if the buisness model is still viable), 4K should be easy But a port upgrade for HDMI (hardware or software if it can) probably isn't that crazy of a notion. PS3 and 360 had some changes to the port setups during their lifetimes. Think because 4k is going to be still relativly limited in how much it gets used, the people that want it will do a bit of research as to what can actually run it.

Posted February 16, 2015 lol, not soon Like 5 or 6 years when the next batch are due. Depending if they rush or draw out this gen. OK, but by then the 380X will be long since obsolete and it won't matter anyway. Look at the equivalent now. An equivalent GPU in its day would have been something like the GTX 260. How does that fare against a low end card of now like the R7 260X? Not brilliantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not brilliantly. lol stop taking what I say so literally I'm suggesting cards like the 380X would are a theoretical base line for what consoles could get. not that GPU it self, but something in that range or maybe 390x (if its a thing). Over the course of 5 years or so, that level of GPU power needs to be refined down to an acceptable TDP for consoles and become easy and cheap to make. HBM/3d stacking also going to see an explosion of internal bandwidth for GPUs/future consoles. If we look at the PS4, its GPU has a little bit less computational power than my old HD5850, 1.8 vs 2 TFLOPS. But I am very sure that the GPU in the PS4 is able to do much more because of an updated feature set, greater amount of VRAM and is highly programable. Also being in a much slimmed down API enviroment helps achieve its peak through put. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I compared the GTX 260 with R7 260X not for the sake of being confusing (though I did that quite well >_>) but because the 260X is similar to what the current gen consoles have and its performance absolutely destroys what was a decent GPU in its day I know full well that you're talking about an APU with the power of a 380X, and not a literal 380X. But in five/six years time it's not going to fare any better than a GTX 260 or equivalent would now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
