It's crazy how many people have misunderstood that story. XBO will definitely see improvements as it evolves over time but in this case they weren't referring to anything hardware specific, just a boost in efficiency for that particular game code going from dx11 to dx12. In theory the game could be running on any hardware and the switch from dx11 to dx12 would net up to that percentage of performance gain. Its not a boost in actual system power or a blanket number for every game runni...
Meh i would rather a stable framerate but would be ideal to get 1080p also.
I see no reason we cant have both. Just make compromises if you have to elsewhere, like shaders or number of people on screen. Im looking at you AC Unity
@corroios: People like you spreading this trash is one of the reasons ps4 is selling so well.
xbo is a great piece of hardware and very widely misunderstood as being 'weak' when it really isn't.
I don't think MS ever actually came out and said how many tf the console is capable of.
There are things about the xbo gpu that are still under NDA and if i remember correctly the 1.3tf estimation from other sites was simply that. An ...
@sevir: Ugh did MS ever actually say it was a 1.3tf gpu? Not everything about xbo is currently known hence the NDA's in effect. Not to mention processes that will get offloaded to the cloud in future games. xbo is alot more capable than people like you realize or give it credit for.
Judging these consoles power is not as simple as 1.3tf vs 1.8tf = said winner
@gamedev1:
A few key features that i have learned about dx12 is its ability to allow all the CPU cores to talk to the GPU all at the same time. Where with dx11 they can all talk at the same time but ultimately have to wait in line for their commands to be dealt with.
Another key feature is dx12 tiled resources with better ESram management.
I have heard that ESram can hold around 6gbs of texture data with dx12 tiled resources. Something xbo cu...
Here's one quote from today at gdc
*DX12 has seen up to 50% better CPU utilization over DX11 & up to 20% increase in GPU performance on the same hardware.
It doesn't say PC just the same hardware. So could be a mobile phone, a tablet, Xbox one, or PC. More like all of them.
What some people don't seem to get is whenever MS opens their mouth about dx12 improvements they mention windows 10, Not specifically PC.
...
Getting real tired of all these comments on this site about dx12 doing nothing for xbo. Seems the same kind of people claiming ps4 is 50% more powerful than xbo.
I don't pretend to know it all but these people haven't got a clue.
Brad's comments about xb1 using ddr3 possibly being an issue for dx12 make no sense to me. Most PC's use ddr3 and they will benefit greatly from dx12.
From reading alot of his comments as of late it seems he has little knowledge of the console side of things reg dx12. PC is his field not console.
Nobody thinks the xb1 has a dual gpu. The cloud is real and you will be proven wrong in time. fell for esram?? XB1 has esram it was put in there with dx12 tiled resources in mind. DX12 enables all the cpu cores to communicate with the gpu at the same time, instead of setting commands and having to wait in queue. This alone is a huge improvement let alone all the tools devs will get and unlocking tiled resources for esram.
So xbox one has 8gb of ddr3 ram aswell as esram that c...
Whats the bet you people disliking my comment didn't even watch the video. It goes over everything MS have said reg dx12 on xbox and explains to you in the most basic way possible that dx12 is going to benefit xbo.
Ignorance is bliss in fanboy lala land it seems. smh
@rdgneoz3: Please stop spreading your ignorant misinformation. dx12 is not about getting close to the metal even though it does improve on that.
XB1 was designed with dx12 in mind. Why else do you thing it has esram onboard. The entire board design screams dx12.

@angelusbrz: maybe you should watch this if you think it will do nothing.
XB1 was designed for dx12.

Why even question this? I know i want halo 5. I know i want Forza 6. By pre-ordering them i get the cost of the game out of the way so im free to simply collect the game when it comes out. I could be having financial limitations at time of release for all i know and its great to know its already paid for.
Thanks man +1 for being helpful lol. I hear ya man AC power is the way to go and i agree not being able to charge separate aint that big of a deal. Especially if you have a second controller sitting there waiting for you.
I'm curious though how long does a single charge last you?
That is strange.. I'm able to get a physical copy no problem here in NZ.

So excited for this game. I've never played the series before but it looks so good i cant wait to get it :D
Hope its not the final cover art. Doesn't look that great to me.
This is obviously a spin off for the series its not a replacement for the numbered entries in the fable series. If this game does well i would assume it would fund development of Fable 4.
One can hope anyway.
The game looks great. Seeing the ads on tv make it look so awesome. The average consumer would be all over this in a second. If i didn't know any better id happily pay full price for it. I would be very disappointed to finish it that same day though and have nothing left to do.
I was really looking forward to this game and im still going to buy it when i get a slim ps4 when they release. I should be able to pick it up for $20 or maybe cheaper hopefully ;)
@outthink: you are right. This is what i have been trying to say for ages on here. The xbo strength is in its architecture. This power game is not as simple as gddr5 1.8tf gpu = winner. I think once devs get new tools and get to grips with the hardware's unique setup the results will speak for themselves.
