Man this Mighty Scorpio gonna sting the competition.Should Sony and Nintendo just cut their loses and throw in with MS? lololol :PAnyhooie, can't wait for this bad boy along with a copy of RDR2. Gonna be glorious.Thoughts?The Story.---New Xbox Scorpio Console Will Deliver 'Really True 4K,' Exec SaysProject Scorpio will have graphical fidelity on a level 'never seen before' on console, Aaron Greenberg says. Sony's PlayStation 4 Pro came out last week. Across the fence, Microsoft's Project Scorpio console is slated to arrive in holiday 2017. Now, Xbox executive Aaron Greenberg has discussed the upcoming Xbox console, saying it's capable of delivering 'really true 4K.''This will really bring the most powerful console you've ever seen,' Greenberg said at this weekend's Xbox FanFest in Mexico City. 'It will bring these really true 4K, really incredible visual games that we've never seen before on the console.''People who have spent thousands of dollars on a high-end PC are getting that experience. How do we bring that to scale in a console in your living room? That's a big part of what Project Scorpio is about,' he added. Microsoft has said that all of its first-party games will run at a native 4K. 'Any games we're making that we're launching in the Scorpio time frame, we're making sure they can natively render at 4K,' Microsoft Studios GM Shannon Loftis said in September.Microsoft announced Project Scorpio at E3 in June, but the company has not offered much in the way of specifics about the console since then. That may not change soon, as Greenberg said Microsoft is saving a good deal of significant reveals about Project Scorpio for 2017. Earlier this month, Xbox engineering lead Mike Ybarra said Project Scorpio will 'of course' support backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 games. The console also plays all Xbox One titles. According to Microsoft, there won't be any Project Scorpio-exclusive games--except for virtual reality titles.Pricing for Project Scorpio has not been announced, but Microsoft has repeatedly referred to it as a 'premium' device, so it likely won't be cheap.Sony's PS4 Pro, which launched on November 10, sells for $400. Microsoft has said Project Scorpio is more powerful than Sony's console by a significant margin.

Killer Instinct would be 4K/60 fps with PC's max details.

AMD Vega has double rate 16 bit FP hardware feature. https://www.extremetech.com/gaming/236011-new-rumors-claim-to-shed-light-on-amds-upcoming-vega-10-and-11-forecast-7nm-vega-20

Shader Model 6's upcoming hardware features.

Current NVIDIA/AMD PC GPUs doesn't have double rate 16 FP feature.

GTX 1060/1070/1080/Titan X Pascal are already obsolete on SM6's native 16 bit FP feature.

R9-285/R9-380X/Fury X/Fury Pro/RX-480/RX-470/RX-470D has single rate native 16 bit FP feature.

When Captain Ron says it, I believe. Mighty Scorpio together with the new and improved StormCloud. :o

Freakin Crackdown 3 baby, gonna be nothing like it. Nothin!!! :P

"There is no fast fp16 in GP104."

Precisely as I thought. Great minds think alike. :o

I kid, I kid, lololol I'm fairly clueless to your high tech talk and I mean that in a good way. :) I just want a powerhouse console this time around.

Nvidia wasn't aware of MS's SM6.0 16bit floating point feature and it was too late in the final GP104 design (tape out).

SM6.0 = Shader Model 6.0 is the shader language version 6.0

GP104 = GeForce GTX 1070, GeForce GTX 1080 models

Due to Xbox projects, AMD was in sync with Microsoft.

"GP100 has lots of FP16 units (for deep learning training). GP10x does not.
Conversely, GP10x has lots of Int8 dot product units (for deep learning inference). GP100 does not.
The conspiracy theories about throttling are wrong. The chips are just different, with a different balance of functional unit."
At GTC 2016, Jen-Hsun was talking about GPU Inference Engine(GIE) & Tesla M4.

RX-480...

Int8 = quad rate over 32 bit FP

Int16 = single rate over 32 bit FP

Fp16 = single rate over 32 bit FP (Ready for SM6.0)

PS4 Pro (and Vega)

Int8 = quad rate over 32 bit FP

Int16 = ??? rate over 32 bit FP

Fp16 = double rate over 32 bit FP. For Vega, SM6.0's fp16 processing is faster than RX-480.
