Nice. I guess next years games will get a visual boost then.

This is the 8% that was stored for Kinect usage in games, right?

Welcome to 800p
Please don't make me post that video...
Also, how does giving more GPU bandwidth work? Is it attained by removing the reserved kinect allocation or something that can be done overtime?

'Flexibility' to make games better? Sounds like Kinect reserve to me. Flexibility to use it or ditch it.
792p is specifically because of ESRAM limit (it fits just) and not necessary GPU.
800p is long overdue.

I say bring on the Titanfall performance patch now. Maybe it'll come with the next DLC?

Assumable it is from not reserving 8 percent for kinect motion controls. 2 percent is still taken for voice. Additionally, if a game wants to put in kinect motion features, it now has to dip into the same power as would normally go to graphics.

Microsoft is on one hell of a roll with all this good news.
That vid gets me every time.
Assuming this is from freeing up Kinect usage.
Seems like an E3's worth of Xbox news has been released recently. Makes me interested for what WILL be shown now. 5 more days I guess.
Yea I should have picked a game coming out in October/November, but even then that might be pushing it. Obviously 2015 releases will see some help from this.
Not a bad idea. Or maybe whole sub-forum?
I think he talks to much and shows to little.
I rather that than not talking at all. Or whatever the hell they were doing last year.

They are trying waaaaaaay too hard at MS. The guy could not sneeze without tweeting it.

The mention of new tools could mean both Kinect freed resources + driver optimizations. DX12 update?
I think he talks to much and shows to little.
Shows too little? He basically just got the job, and obviously they are holding back stuff for E3. I'd wait until at least after E3 to start making that claim.

I guess, but its better if they can show it with game instead of talk about improvements on dev kits, etc.
Over hyping stuff is a dangerous path.

We'll pretty sure it's because of kinectless and also because of normal SDK improvements as well.
I think we'll have to wait to next year to see more DX12 stuff though.

Wait....this isn't the Kinect gpu reserve reduction is it?
I think he talks to much and shows to little.
He's done a lot though?

Phil needs to walk out on stage on Monday with this music playing. I'll accept nothing less than that.

Never change, Microsoft.
I think he talks to much and shows to little.
He's had the job for what? 3 months? In that time we've seen the Kinect dropped and pay wall for apps dropped. I'd say he's off to a good start.
Oh. Well I guess it's all in how you read things. I saw the tweet and said "good for devs. Hope it helps". I guess another person could read that and hype it to high heavens but that's hardly Spencer's fault.
