However, according to AMD’s Timothy Lottes both PS4 Pro and Xbox One X don’t have the power required to achieve true 4K gaming on consoles as next-gen consoles require at least 7.4 TFLOPs of GPU compute to play games at native 4K/30 FPS with PS4’s image quality.
For comparison sake, the PS4 Pro features 4.2 TFLOPs of GPU compute while the Xbox One X features 6 TFLOPs.
