PS4 Pro Will Run NBA 2K17 at Native 4K Resolution, 60 FPS with HDR Support

Ya'll are misconstruing what I mentioned. When I say "downgrade", I don't mean "downgrade the game". I simply mean they aren't going to be able to do max settings @ 4K-60 FPS. I have a powerful gaming PC and playing last year's 2K game didn't maintain a steady 60 FPS @ 4K. And I have a graphics card that is as expensive as the PS4 Pro console itself and a huge 4K TV to test it on.

If these consoles are indeed going to pull off 4K @ 60 FPS, it's going to be low or medium settings in comparison to the PC at best. IMO. And the "interesting" marketing aspect comes in when all these articles mention "native 4K @ 60 FPS", etc. It has the possibility of confusing the average consumer who doesn't realize these graphics still won't be better than a good gaming PC.

I too thought that HDR support on the old PS4 for NBA2K17 was coming. Did I miss something?

This is fantastic news. I was getting the pro regardless but this makes it even better. Even if it's checkered board 4K it's still way better than Upscaled. This game in native 4K and HDR is going to be nuts. I hope 2k didn't make a mistake and misspoke.

How much of an improvement can be expected?

I have a 4K tv right now and honestly 2k looks pretty good, the only issue is the players look accurate but still a bit "lifeless" but that won't be fixed by 4K resolution.

Prior consoles used to sell at a loss but not this gen. Both Sony and Microsoft have said they profit from the current consoles although it is believed to be a minor amount.

So, let me get this straight.

I have a gtx 970 OC/ 4790k OC/ 16GB ram and I can't even run the game consistently over 60 fps with ultra/ 2x msaa settings, and they can get the ps4 pro to 4k 60 fps?

That tells me how bad they are screwing over the pc fanbase.

Strike that and reverse it. That tells me that the PS4 Pro version is going to be far from a PC with ultra settings.

I have almost the same PC as you and 2K16 wouldn't even hit a consistent 60 FPS @ 4K on the highest settings. If I recall it would dip around 45 during live action.

I doubt the game will be ultra settings . Also keep in mind that running a game on Pc is different from running a game on PS4.
