why will it ? xone is still the weaker of the two. that can't change
I'm sure you can deal with it ...others did when the situation was reversed on the other generation.

You can assume that unless MS/Sony straight up fund the initial development it is a timed exclusive.

Mostly a joke, and honestly, that's not how GPU boosts work either. A 20% boost could mean less or more depending on what exactly is being boosted, and where do we leave the 50% CPU boost? it's 50% CPU and 20% GPU, whatever that translates to.
And some get all pissy because they think some get excited.
The boost can be more than 50% depending on your CPU and the draw calls.

Seems like it was a 20% boost to Fable Legends. Nothing else discussed.

its not even that, its a 20% increase on 1 game on PC.
No one should ever believe a software change adding any major performance gains to a console. Console gains are gradual by slowly improving toolsets that make more efficient use of hardware calls

Yes indeedy.
This would more so be on Windows Central/their live blog right?

It's 50% more of CPU boosting, so you take the original boosting of 0 then add another 50% to that, essentially half doubling your maximum amount of boosting.

oh man, this is hilarious.
But also kind of awesome because maybe it'll help me get more consistent 120+fps in BF4

LOL. God, I love this place.
DX12 and other modern graphical APIs (Mantle, glNext / Vulkan) achieve performance boosts by moving as much stuff out of the CPU and into the GPU, lowering the amount of memory copies, multicore support, and reducing bottlenecks caused by synchronous / single threaded locks.
Kind of nebulous to say 20% improvement (or 100% as previously claimed) because it probably means with specific use cases.
Given how similar the PS4 and XB1 are, anything that one can do can probably be replicated by the other. I expect Sony, Valve and others will get behind Vulkan which will deliver similar gains in a more cross platform fashion. Given that DX12 is only appearing in Windows 10 / XB1 and Vulkan god knows when, it'll probably be a few years before either of them is especially prevalent.

This is confusing. lol. 20% boost on PC actually seems lesser than what was rumored earlier. What exactly did they show in the fable legends demo? Given that's what they are announcing, is this the best case scenario?
Pretty sure it will have help improve performance on xbox one as well, but now we have no idea to what extent.

Actually, this is just the sort of stuff MS marketing might go for. And people would believe them.
Nah they can be good like the geekwire one. The one in the OP was just trash.
I've used AMD cards for a long time and never experienced the advertised driver performance increase in any software.
Now that was never on static hardware like the Xbox One and SURELY Microsoft has to have the clarity to know that if they spout PR bullshit that doesn't materialise one more time they'll be able to fit their credibility on the surface of that 28nm GCN.
So I'd be shocked if this doesn't come to fruition but still; I don't want to hear it, I want to see it.

So it they were talking about PC, not the X1. Wow.
So many people on N4G were serving crow, only to end up eating it themselves after the article was updated.
People really need to start reading articles properly before commenting.

Goddamnit guys. I read the title then came in to read the first page and was SO confused.
You know, I kind of miss the bear & salmon thread titles. Can we go back to that please? Which mod was it?

Pretty much this. I can't believe they could have reached that very specific conclusion based on that Microsoft quote. I'm holding off until the video is released to hear what was actually said on stage.
I don't know, sounds like those bloggers are the ones that fucked up.

You know you clearly have issues when the initial "20% gpu boost to the xbox one" almost made me mad.
