Power of teh cell. PS3 lacked a good memory setup

I gave two reasons. Here are some more:

•FL12.0 and 12.1 are hardware levels. Phil said that DX12 supported full DX12, and that MS knew what DX12 was doing when they built the XB1.
•Full DX12 support requires the WDDM 2.0 kernel, which didn't get into the XB1 until the Win 10 update.
•The WDDM 2.0 kernel is required to allow for the CPU to multithread. Up until the fall update, the XB1 communicated via a single core to the GPU.
•Many major developers have pledged support, but few are far enough in development of DX12 games to see any results of what DX12 can do for the console.
•Gears 4 and Deus Ex are two of the first real tests for DX12 performance.
•While MS are at fault for not having the kernel and API ready at launch, there is performance in these elements that are just now being coded for. How good do you think first gen DX12 games will look compared to second or third gen DX12 games?
•Why would DX12 even be an API if it didn't improve anything over DX11?

Please stop with the name calling and slander. If I said anything to you in a PM, whenever that may have been, it is between us and us alone.

@TheCommentator:

are you serious? The PS3 had '2.1 Tflops'? typo, right?...You're saying it's 'better' for system balance to release something with a weaker gpu, and that that makes it overall more efficient?...That MS was ahead of the curve against the PS4 by gimping the gpu, losing literally on every single multiplat game ever released this gen, and being one of the most quickly forgotten consoles of modern gaming...and that was...on purpose?

Just please fill us in that these were typing errors.

and DX12...still? DX12 is how MS is getting xbox games on PC...not to in any way improve the performance of the Xbox One...I'm really sorry about that...some of us have been saying it for over a year...and this E3 they directly told you...but it's not sticking for some reason...DX12 on the XBO is so devs don't have to do extra work for win 10; the real platform they're investing in right now...scorpio is another move to gain developer attention towards win 10...the xbox one console...is dying...dx12, scorpio, etc...are moves related to scuttling the ship, not making the xbox one less of a mistake...

You fell right into the misleading talk of DX12 on XBO precisely because you assumed the Xbox one was 'just a PC' before the announcement...the xbox one had an AMD derived to the metal api just like the PS4 did at launch...AMD proposed this to both console makers before 2011, when they also were working on the PC release of GCN hardware. The early console api's for proposed apu's did a lot of the dirty work for Sony and MS, and AMD took that tech to develop mantle for the PC market...Sony and MS were on very equal footing api wise, and remain that way. MS brought in DX12 to the Xbox one to unify development with windows 10 PC's, not take the xbo out of dx11's inefficient trap.It's funny how AMD will talk about how mantle came to be, which turned into Vulkan and how they worked directly with MS for async compute in dx12...yet MS gets all quiet and weird about it in order to make it seem it's yet another bit of magic sauce for a console that is simply ill-equipped hardware wise.

but yeah...Gears 4 will be a big 1st party test for DX12...it'll be the first major game built from the ground up to support the api on windows 10...I'm sure they're heavily focused on a ~1Tflop xbo now that MS greenlit them to go nuts with all the hardware available that isn't buried in low end laptops...You'd have better luck hoping that the 'power of the cloud' will make the xbo version remotely comparable...

No, Kleptic, but I did notice that I forgot to add in the PS4's CPU performance when comparing the PS4 to the PS3. In the PS3, about 1.8 Tflops comes from the RSX and about 350 Gflops comes from the GPU. in the PS4, around 1.8 Tflops comes from the GPU and 200 Gflops comes from the CPU for a total of 2 Tflops. That was my bad.

I said that MS has less bottlenecks in their system. That doesn't equate to more power. I also said that there is DX12 hardware to support that balance, and balance can lead to better efficiency. Sony has used the proper API since launch, MS hasn't been using theirs at all until the fall update last year. We're seeing first gen DX12 games just being made now. Which console do you think has more power left to tap into?

Bwahaha. Slander? You admit it's the truth and then go on to say I have to keep it between us?

Much like the rest of your posts, that's just laughable.

Seriously, Lost. This is why you were labelled inappropriate in the first place and why you'd recieved that nasty PM from me so many months ago. You don't listen. I've given plenty of facts to contradict your theory, but you choose to point and laugh at people and that's just sad. My theory evolves over time to reflect the accuracy of the information that's available. I don't hold beliefs as Gospel.

You've been marked as inappropriate for this post as well.

If you were truthful and used facts we wouldn't be here. You don't. That's the point.
As for being marked... that's not why and you know it. Much like your claim you sent a "nasty" pm (which was just you begging me to understand because of your condition). You're just talking crap.

Nice try though. Now you've earned this next bit.
