Support NeoGAF

[MrCunningham]

That's not surprising. Remember E3 2005 when almost every Xbox 360 game were running off G5 Power Macs with X800 XT/ GeForce 6800 Ultra's (or something like that)? .

 

[jaypah]

This is probably the more pertinent shot:

L. O. L.

It's like they specifically went out of their way to do stuff that GAF would shit on, every step of the way.

 

[Felix Lighter]

Oh yeah, the 770 and 780 are the only 700 series cards available now, right? Must be expecting a serious performance bump once they get an opportunity to start coding to the metal.

 

[Osiris]

Yeah it's usually nothing when it's a PC with "Comparable specs" but this? Shouldn't a Nvidia graphics card be the opposite? What is going on?

Claiming it has "Comparable specs" is where it all falls down, even the lowest of the 700 series (770 GTX) is a 230watt beast with performance close to two to three times more powerful than the Xbox One's GPU.

 

[killbox]

So basically like any other pre-launch demos, ever?

360 demos in 2005 were running of g4 Power Macs.

The 360 early dev kits were G5s...

 

[lefantome]

It's normal for Microsoft considering what the first Xbox was.

 

[Miburou]

I asked while trying out The Crew why I was playing with a One controller but there was also a mouse and keyboard, and was told it's a PC emulating the One.

 

[storybook77]

I think they just used the Nvidia 700 series GPU to simulate the power of the cloud.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Yeah it's usually nothing when it's a PC with "Comparable specs" but this? Shouldn't a Nvidia graphics card be the opposite? What is going on?

You could use Quad SLI GTX Titans if you wanted to. As long its using the same settings as the console version it doesn't matter.

it's the ideal performance on floating points operations per second.

 

[DBT85]

The Nvidia bit is new.

I think KidBeta suggested they should be on nearer final silicone by now?

 

[Lagspike_exe]

Those G5s were weaker than what Xbox 360 ended up being. These PCs are faster than the Xbone.

 

[Chittagong]

This does not surprise me, to me the bigger question is whether Julian Rignall still rocks the hairstyle of the gods

 

[Ploid 3.0]

Titan Fall PC is going to be so nice.

 

[BigDug13]

So, for those of us that graphic card illiterate (I know, I know), what does this mean in terms of porting over?

Is that easy to do, or ... not?

Porting games to PC this gen is going to be easier than it ever has before.

 

[plagiarize]

unless the game is GPU limited at those settings in the console version. it'd look the same, but it'll run better on those Quad Titans.

 

[Takuya]

This is probably the more pertinent shot:

Yep, I saw them fixing up the kiosks on day 1. Funny how they're using what looked to be 670/680s.

 

[andycapps]

I'm going to guess that PC's were used a lot for the PS4 side of demos, as well. If they were running on actual dev kits, that's impressive for this far from launch, to me.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

lol remember when everyone assumed Sony was doing drm and online checks too? safe to say Nintendo and Sony prepared to release their game consoles. more than Microsoft by miles.

For all the shit we give Nintendo (and rightfully so) about wasting the past few years, what the fuck has MS been doing? They launched first last gen but are somehow the least prepared with their hardware this gen?

 

[Vespene]

It's normal for Microsoft considering what the first Xbox was.

Yeah but it's not normal when you're 5 months away from the launch of the machine.

 

[Gemüsepizza]

You could use Quad SLI GTX Titans if you wanted to. As long its using the same settings as the console version it doesn't matter.

And what if they aren't using the same settings? And what about framerate? This just confirms to me that we don't know if that's how the games will look on the Xbox 1.

I think when Sony said "We will let MS go first!", MS thought "Sweet!"

 

[Dreamwriter]

So, I can't find any source for this nVidia rumor. Where did they get that from? As for using slightly more powerful hardware, that's normal, because at E3 you are trying to show what performance of the final game looks like, not performance of a game with months left of development, where speed optimization and polishing tends to be one of the last steps.

 

[CDX]

The Nvidia part is new information.

OK, What models of HP laptops use the Nvidia 700 series?

Can we narrow it down and figure out the HP laptop that was playing Xbone games?

 

[mokeyjoe]

Lol, showing my age that that's the first thing I thought of.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

And what if they aren't using the same settings? And what about framerate?

Then those developers are misrepresenting their game.

 

[Chittagong]

Yeah but it's not normal when you're 5 months away from the launch of the machine.

That's exactly what 360 was at the time those G5 pics were taken. Except that the games were in a much, much rougher shape

It's a desktop.

 

[jaypah]

I thought that was E3 2005, about 5 months from the launch of the machine?

 

[lefantome]

Yeah but it's not normal when you're 5 months away from the launch of the machine.

they are supposedly only one month behind the 360 schedule. e3 2005 was in may.

 

[dorkimoe]

they never are

The picture in the last page, you can see that it's an Nvidia GTX card. Can't make out the model though.

they never are

I think the real conversation is the fact that they are not on similarly specced hardware. Not even close.

Zoom in on the desktop.

You can see the Nvidia GPU in the window:
