Uhm, that's quite the change of the title throughout the last 15 minutes

 

[De_Legend]

Do you think people don't know what "jr" is short for?

I don't think you get what I mean but ok.

 

[bombshell]

So much technical knowledge in the first few pages of this thread. Although I hope most of the posts were joking.

 

[Krusenstern]

Yours was just one of many similar type jokes. I guess I just don't get it since I don't think anyone on here was thinking what you thought merited your joke.

I think the 20% boost is as tangible in a real world setting as the PS4's 50% power advantage has been so far this generation.

Huh? Sorry, I still don't get what you're trying to tell me. Didn't the 20% improvement turn out to be based on the PC platform, not Xbone?

 

[Chobel]

Those gifs are killing me, LOL!

Pretty sure there were a lot of joke posts made to bait console warriors. They worked beautifully.

 

[XxRampage07xX]

So they were just talking about PC improvement the whole time? Wow, such a letdown!

So in the end, what does Xbox One benefit from DirectX 12 API? There can't be no improvement in performance, right?

 

[leobebes]

I wasn't calling him out for being a junior, thankfully.

Umm, yeah you were. You tried to undermine my point by calling out my member status. It's basically a stone's throw from being a full-on ad hominem attack, but whatever, I'll just mind my place, I guess.

 

[dgrdsv]

too funny.

But seriously, why only 20%. This is disappointing.

Assuming you're talking about the PC Fable Legends on DX12 this is actually rather good as you should probably expect something closer to +5-10% from DX12 for the majority of PC GPU limited games.

 

[Guri]

Since we are still changing the thread's title, it could be worth mentioning that Fable doesn't get a 20% improvement. Fable Legends does.

Okay, sorry.

 

[curb]

Well, that was quite a ride.

As for all the fanboy fighting

I'm not trying to police anything, I just like taking any excuse to post a 30 Rock gif.

 

[alr1ght]

20% improvement in framerate.

So, 36 fps instead of 30 fps.

 

[Jburton]

So much lol.

Poor dears.

 

[RespectThySole]

Damn the people proclaiming the gap is closed must feel quite silly now.

Pretty sure most of it was sarcasm.

 

[AngelOFDeath]

Should be the OP, after the explanation of how this thread came to be

 

[Platinum_D]

Damn well that escalated quickly lol

 

[CaptainABAB]

so, it's 20% for PC.

will it have any effect at all on XB1? surely there is some minimal improvement? maybe?

“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.”

 

[BrokenEchelon]

PS4 is rekt.

The generation is now over.

DigitalFoundry drools.

Oh damn.

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

X1 is nearing unstoppable status.

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

Penello was right!

God damn, this is too good.

incredible, leapfrogs over the PS4 performance , I wonder if Sony will lower the PS4 price soon

This just in: Sony has 20 million returns.

Good game, Too Soony to Win-y.

Why are some so bitter about this news?

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?

A purchase of xbox is like an investment for the future. Every year your console levels up and gains more power!

I believe in Spencer.

#XBoss

The King Is back!!!

The gap has been closed!

Embarrassing.

Yeah, that is all I can ask. If it makes optimization any easier then great.

 

[Crayon]

All of you who believed it in the first place are in la-la land. And you made this a great thread, thanks.

 

[jmaine_ph]

OMG! This thread is gold. Though I'm quite disappointed in the belief in DX12 (Secret Sauce) for Xbox One even after Phil said it wasn't going to do much. People need to start listening to what's being told to them from Uncle Phil. LMAO!

 

[Beefy]

This thread is crazy.

 

[Sarobi]

Embarrassing.

Ahh.. you didn't quote mine :[

 

[JaggedSac]

This thread is nuts.

 

[alr1ght]

Embarrassing.

I count about 1 of those that's serious.

 

[ironcreed]

Embarrassing.

Not really. I posted that gif with a huge smile on my face and have been having a grand time ever since.

 

[qa_engineer]

Embarrassing.

One could argue that most of those posts were joke posts.

 

[Clockwork]

Playstations run on OpenGL that's the counter part of DX12. So PS4 could get a boost from OpenGL NEXT.

No they don't and no it won't.

PS4 uses GNM and GNMX. PS3 used GCM and PSGL.

 

[Crayon]

I count about 1 of those that's serious.

Yeah that matches my count.

 

[bananafactory]

Embarrassing.

I'm pretty sure most of those were joking...

 

[Amir0x]

Damn that secret sauce was starting to taste delectable too.

 

[Krusenstern]

Embarrassing.

Look at my avatar man. I don't know how to make my sarcasm even more obvious.

 

[LordBaztion]

lol at that title change.

 

[ElzarTheBam]

Oh man the amount of REKT posters in this thread.

Thank you for entertaining me at least.

 

[foxbeldin]

Mxm blogpost was ready. What have you done.

 

[kpaadet]

Someone should check if misterxmedia is alright.

 

[Dynedom]

I'm pretty sure most of those were joking...

Of course they were.

 

[Syf]

the edit lmao

 

[Dictator93]

THIS THREAD IS AMAZING: STAY CLASSY GAF.

 

[TheSlySoul]

Oh, so the 20% boost he was talking about was for Fable.
...WHY???

 

[Amir0x]

Look at my avatar man. I don't know how to make my sarcasm even more obvious.

The problem today Krusenstern is that the more you visit online game forums, the more you realize posts like that are serious all the time, so it's nearly impossible to discern the sarcastic from the serious without like a wink anymore. There's a name for that rule and everything - Poe's Law!

Blame crazy fanboys for making the environment so crazy that you can't even suspect anymore when someone is truly being crazy! ;P

 

[qa_engineer]

Dualshockers saw this thread and posted it as "news" on their site. N4G goes crazy, and then hearts are broken as Dualshockers learns that this isn't exactly news. This is too funny.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

I wasn't joking.

I was deadly serious, because you see...I AM MISTERXMEDIA.

 

[JoJo UK]

Embarrassing.

I think someone's sarcasm detector is broken. Embarrassing.

 

[Delusibeta]

so, it's 20% for PC.

will it have any effect at all on XB1? surely there is some minimal improvement? maybe?

It'll have some improvement, and in theory DirectX 12 should end the resolution differences between Xbone and PS4 multiplatform games.

Admittedly, that was happening anyway, but still.

 

[Fordfx2]

Secret sauce what?

[jaypah]

Embarrassing.

Just glance at a few of those names. Now think about it for a second...

This thread is life, but real talk I wish we would have heard more about general DX12 improvements on the PC. Or more examples or something.

 

[shadowsdarknes]

MisterXMedia was right all along

He claimed that the systems output was capable of 5 teraflops.

He was never right.

 

[Xyber]

I count about 1 of those that's serious.

Unfortunately there's more than likely a bunch of them that are serious...
