Run native 920 or 1080 without the upscaling?

Yeah maybe. 1920x1080 at uber ultra settings, and/or run at 4K resolution.

It will be upscaled, just like using VSR or DSR on PC.

With that much power developers would push for 4K. No need to up scale.

Imagine you could update the console's GPU yourself like a PC.

IDK i can't really see it myself, IIRC the Xbone struggles to run some games in 720p@30FPS.

I guess they can change specs more frequently when they are making profit on hardware from day 1.

The XBox One has just been cut to $299. MS are obviously keen to sell off a few of the standard model xbo before E3.
