Does this mean 1080p for now on with stable frames?

900p + 20% = 1080p

Spoiler

Yeah I know the stupidity of my post

 

[Z3M0G]

Well this thread should entertain me for the last hour of my work day...

 

[_Ryo_]

This is really neat and awesome!

Then again there is absolutely nothing at all stopping Sony improving their SDK and drivers and honestly I think it's crazy to expect them not to.

 

[Azzurri]

SO has X1 hit Super Saiyan form 1 yet?

 

[R3TRODYCE]

Pfft I was expecting 21%...

 

[Xeroblade]

Oh damn.

10% Kinect boost, December SKU, CPU upgrade and now a 20% GPU boost?

X1 is nearing unstoppable status.

2 years later...

 

[AkuMifune]

 

[Ol No Bones]

Sounds good. The more the better.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

The Playstation doesn't even use OpenGL. The age of Sony is over!!!

Yes it does?

PSGL/LibGCM/GNM is based on OpenGL ES.

 

[zychi]

Is this 20% ontop of the "cloud computing power" they promised?

What's 20% of 0?

 

[Minions]

Was there not some graphs released that showed a 20% boost; however it was only 1 game and the rest only showed a 5-10% increase?

I could have sworn I saw one when this was first stated months ago.

 

[blueberry_racehorse]

A 20% boost is borderline magical.

This is great news for all XBone developers.

Does the ps4 get some similar boosts, or does it avoid using directX 12 entirely?

 

[Xion_Stellar]

 

[EBE]

pack it up, Sony. youre done for. finito. kaput.

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

So now Xbone GPU is almost at 1.6 Teraflops vs 1.8 of the PS4 GPU.

GAP CLOSED.

 

[Elandyll]

Good for XB1 owners, but when all is said and done it's all about optimizing the code for the hardware.
Sony is able to do the same (and the tech teams like ICE have been busy doing this all along anyway).

The proof will be in the pudding in the games of fall 2015 (if DX12 impacts things then, perhaps will have to wait 2016)...

I am far more excited by what DX12 means for PC gaming frankly, as the general graphic API is far more important and critical for performance rather than a console where you can "optimize to the metal".

 

[AJLma]

CDPR should be happy to hear this.

They should be able to bump TW3 up to 1080p30 now.

 

[wachie]

Depends if Sony adopt the new version of OpenGL, Vulkan which aims to do what DX12 did to DX11.

lol

Microsoft - "Mission Accomplished"

 

[King Beyond the wall]

This 20% boost, the December SKU, the kinect boost plus the infinite power of #TheCloud.

May as well rebrand this thing the Xbox Two.

 

[Easy_D]

Whoah. Is the gap closed now? Couldn't Sony theoretically also make their software more efficient as well?

 

[Krusenstern]

I wonder if titles like Rise of the Tomb Raider will benefit form this.

Yes it does?

PSGL is based on OpenGL ES.

I was partly joking. It uses some form of low-level open graphics libary if I remember correctly.

 

[Z3M0G]

For XB1? Not that I know of.

Not for Xbox one, but on PC... so should apply fairly directly I'm thinking.

 

[luckygodzilla]

Who needs clouds when we have all this sauce.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

900p + 20% = 1080p

Spoiler

Yeah I know the stupidity of my post

I triple checked the maths.

Its too perfect.

 

[Kayant]

Strike that read it Wrong

 

[GravyButt]

Bah gawd stop the fight

 

[Durante]

A low-carb diet adds 20% to the next 3 moon cycles.

 

[Brazil]

I'm so not inclined to believe Microsoft's bullshit promises.

 

[SniperHunter]

-10% Kinect processing initially
+10% after Kinect removed
+20% DX12
+??? inevitable cloud power

Total boost 30% + cloud power = PS4 is done.

 

[AmyS]

Still not enough to overcome PS4's GPU advantage, especially in pixel fillrate.

PS4 - 25.6 billion pixels (32 ROPs x 800 MHz)
Xbox One: 13.6 billion pixels (16 ROPs x 853 MHz)


Not to mention PS4 API and GPU driver improvements coming from ICE Team and Razor Team aka SN Systems.

 

[BrokenIcarus]

Hasn't it already been proven?

It has proven to lower CPU overhead for PC games, because of low level access.
XBOne already low level access.

Seems like another Penello "There's no way we're giving up 50% to the competition"-moment to me.

 

[kevin1025]

CDPR should be happy to hear this.

They should be able to bump TW3 up to 1080p30 now.

With the release two months out, it might not happen at launch. But it might be a patch, like Black Flag had on PS4.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

2 years later...

Regardless, the gap has closed.

You can't deny this.

 

[SmokedMeat]

Puny PS4 make Xbox angry! And angrier Xbox get, stronger Xbox get!

 

[Putty]

Mr X said 200% not 20%. Though now, he'll mention a 50% CPU increase aswell, so around 70% overall. Still, 130% shy ......

 

[7DollarHagane]

Yes, but DirectX is the software API that games use to communicate with the GPU. Since it's a Microsoft proprietary API, it's only supported on Microsoft's platforms.

So i'm wondering then - Developers use DirectX for XBox One versions but the PS4 versions run using a different driver?

I'm just confused about why multiplatform games would be so different across systems in how they're built.

 

[Killthee]

Penello was right!

“On the DX12 question, I was asked early on by people if DX12 is gonna dramatically change the graphics capabilities of Xbox One and I said it wouldn’t. I’m not trying to rain on anybody’s parade, but the CPU, GPU and memory that are on Xbox One don’t change when you go to DX12. DX12 makes it easier to do some of the things that Xbox One’s good at, which will be nice and you’ll see improvement in games that use DX12, but people ask me if it’s gonna be dramatic and I think I answered no at the time and I’ll say the same thing.”

[DieH@rd]

20% boost related to what? Launch Xbone API?

PS4 already has nicely optimized low level API, and nothing is stopping sony to update it as time goes on. Of course, MS will continue to promote their advanced like mad in attempt to fix their public image.

 

[De_Legend]

People believe this?

 

[Gamezone]

Didn`t the power of the cloud add 800% boost?

 

[ironcreed]

 

[CoG]

ESRAM is the culprit in 900p. Tiling may help but it's a pain in the ass to manage. People are acting like DX12 unlocks 20% GPU. I don't think that's what was said. Is this another "theoretical peak" thing?

 

[2thepoint]

I smell horse....poo.

The hardware is set already, the GPU is not magically going to become more powerful.

It will become more optimized, not more powerful.

 

[140.85]

This seems like something worth bragging about but they just mentioned it in passing? Hmmmm

 

[Sohaim]

Regardless, the gap has closed.

You can't deny this.

what? yeah no.

Well when it gets faster and MCC works, count me in.

God damn, this is too good.
