Xbox Scorpio

It was day 1 before, it's still day 1. I play primarily on Xbox One so it's a no brainer to upgrade and play the games at the best detail possible.

As long as it's not a silly price like a grand or something, but I highly doubt that :p
 
As long as the price isn't too crazy then I'll be in, already have the PS4 Pro and that has been a worthwhile upgrade IMO considering I'll use it for a minimum of 3 years.
 
Spec looks good, I'm a bit disappointed that it's still classed as a Xbox one though, was hoping they would go down the Apple route and release a new console every 4-5 years that's backwards compatible.

Hoping to see some graphics improvements for the Scorpio over the Xbox one, I would be very happy with full 1080p , draw distance and texture resolution increased running at a fluid 60fps.

Not really interested in 4K gaming as I only have a 40 inch Tv.
 
I'm no PC Gamer anymore..

But how can this outclass a PC?

12GB of shared RAM is certainly not enough to outclass a PC, nor is a 8 core chip at 2.3Ghz with 4MB cache.

Scorpio will convert a lot of pc gamers over to console gaming, it's that good.

Lol no it really wont. Its a mid range pc at best.

It doesnt even matter what this thing is packing if there isnt any exclusives. Forza looks stunning but thats not going to bridge the gap between them and Sony imo.

GPU wise, the new Xbox is close to the GTX 1070 for TFlops and memory bandwidth. But Clock speed and ROPs is more GTX960.

You can't get an accurate picture on gaming performance comparing ATI with Nvidia based on Tflop output.
The RX480 does 5.834 TFlops compared to 6.463 TFlops for the GTX 1070, but the RX 480 isn't remotely close in gaming performance to the 1070.

Based on this it's going to around the RX 480 level. But we don't know what impact the custom compute units will have on gaming performance.
 
They can sell this machine at quite a reasonable price. The GPU has much higher clocks than the one in the Pro and isn't that much bigger, 40 CUs in the Scorpio and 36 CUs in the Pro, the extra TFs come from the clock speeds more or less. This means that the chip will cost roughly the same as the one in the pro. Very clever of MS and good news for us.

Add the extra memory and 4K drive and were looking at maybe £50 more than a Pro.
 
The specs make me want to get one, it's just the lack of exclusive titles, I've got a ps4 pro and some mouth watering titles in the next year or two, Microsoft should just go to all the Naugty dog staff and offer to double or triple there wages :D

After the borefest that was Uncharted 4, I'd rather they didn't!

Forza, Halo and gears please!
