Damn near pissed myself
Is that the new Xbox dashboard or the dashboard for the Xbox app on Windows?

Because it's more PR news, not real news. Saying something doesn't mean it's true unless you're foolish.
I think you just Poe's law'ed me.

if i could go back 2 years in a time machine, then this would have been funny.
1680 x 1050? hmm I seem to remember having a monitor with a resolution like that

Honestly we're at a point where that doesn't matter unless it consistently shows in games. If games end up looking identical on both consoles from here on out then it becomes sort of a moot argument imo.

No such console should have that much POWER

The age of parity and PS4 usurping Xbone are over LOL. Holy fuck it's actually happening. Who would have thought shitty hardware could be redeemed by a new a API?
wow, just wow, newly unlocked power?Lead on Xbox One? anything is possible?do you think a API will unlock more power for a console that alredy has a low level optimized API? youre serious? wow.

Yea, I'll believe when I see it
But people are bitter because it's NOT for the PS4.
Not because of the incessant lying and PR spin of the past 2 years.
So how much closer is the system capable of getting to 1.31 TFLOPS?
Because to go above 1.31 (which is the spec used in comparing PS4's advantage) with this "20% boost" the GPU clock needs to be higher than 853 MHz. So, this is good for improving the XDK, but it's not the same as increasing the GPU's clock 20%.

Don't you always hear about these kind of things early/mid generation and they generally mean almost nothing.
I mean optimization always gets better as consoles age. It's just microsoft PR and Marketing trying to put a number on it so people feel good about their purchase.

This thread is going to be chaos.
Prepare yourselves.
But I'm not buying it until we see some real world results.

it's like video card drivers I guess, some drivers give more power

Going to be?
Oh.... I know it's just fun to see people excited! I love games regardless of console and we are arguably in a great generation.

Wut. That's a bit drastic. Selling your PS4 because Capcom didn't put enough care into the PS4 port is one silly thing. Considering selling your PS4 because it took longer than usual to announce this month's free games is even more silly.

Just because sony or nintendo don't publish their optimizations on software in development as a marketing ploy with barely verifiable claims does not make people "bitter".

Wish there was a video to see what they actually said, not just a quick liveblog interpretation of it.
But yeah, this 20% isn't adding anything to the theoretical max numbers, just letting devs get closer to it than DX11. If they were already using the low level console APIs, it won't add anything.

Those Microsoft engineers are a godsend to the gaming community!
Um... Why would they go up and lie in such a public setting? They know they'll get reamed if its a lie.
Sony should probably start sweating just about now because if they lose the performance advantage that's probably going to affect sales quite a bit.
Assuming the 20 percent is real does that make the Xbox more powerful than the ps4?

It 's always good to have, for any PR announcement, by anybody btw.
Go look at the Morpheus PR threads if you think it's reserved to one side.
Hard to tell who's trolling anymore.
Gullible people?

I can tell this thread will be great to look back on at some point in the future.
So much potential gold.

See, right here. Is this a serious post or a joke?
1680 x 1050p vs 1920 x 1080p?, better than 900p I guess

No Sony has done zero optimization since PS4 release. They've been sitting around doing nothing. /s

I thought this was a 20% reduction in GPU overhead, not a straight up 20% boost like the title makes it sound.
its kind hard to get sarcasm on the internet, thats why i asked.
Likely.
