DirectX 12 GDC 2014 presentation: Low-Level Access, DX11 GPUs, Holiday 2015

I thought I had already said something about that. There is no 2nd GPU, there is no stacked GPU.

I have dreamed a dream. And now that dream is gone from me.

MrX must feel like his world has ended. He believed more than anyone. Major Nelson should send him a white x1 to ease his pain.
 
Albert went a little more in depth over at Reddit with regards to the 2nd GPU / stacked GPU stuff:

I didn't think it was festering because I thought I'd already commented on it. For some reason the DX12 announce seemed to make it resurface.
A missed thread in that tweet string which I think is important - I'm not interested in calling out any site. I see a lot of things on a lot of sites that aren't right. If I see something here I try to correct it as well.
My intention is not to give or take credibility from anyone. I'm just trying to set the record straight.

It's hard to stay on top of everything. I didn't realize this was different then the dual GPU stuff that had gone on before which I'd said wasn't true.
You really can't read anything into what I comment on or don't. I'm not a PR guy, and I don't have as much time to read and digest every piece of news - so I'm sporadic in things I reply to. I just happened to have a few minutes to kill today between meetings.
I'm not completely versed in the nuances of DX12 and how it will impact Xbox One. I know we're continually improving our tools for developers, as we did with Xbox 360, so you'll see consistent performance improvements over time.

Albert like us no more. :-(

Fused GPU it is then

No, no. See Penello does not want to reveal where it truly is. It is in the power brick and it isn't a second GPU, it is two CELLs salvaged from a bunch of used and broken PS3s that were bought en masse. They aren't currently activated because MS does not know how to harness their power properly and is still working to reverse engineer the technology. The dual CELL dream Sony had is coming, just watch.

Its funny, Misterx has a bigger following and more interest than Dx12.....I love GAF

Not, but seriously:
Madchad said:
Well for now we have been given all we can from GDC about Dx12 this tweet is of course going to be talked about after all the bashing the guy has done of Gaf
Click to expand...

This. Really, I think most of us here have already discussed or said what we could based on what we were given today on DX12. Now we wait until another conference for further details or more demos. If anyone else who hasn't posted or wishes to discuss as the day goes by, the thread is still here.

But don't worry, after today's AP tweet, I expect the MrX stuff here to go down quite a bit, the guy has absolutely nothing to stand on now. As it is we only bring him up for entertainment purposes. He is funny, so we discuss about him quite a bit when we can.

Just now Penello replied to a post in Reddit, so more discussion could come IF he says something about DX12.

What's with all the comedians and derailing in this thread? I don't get it.

I get really tired of wading through post after post of bullshit to find the few people actually discussing the topic at hand. It's not that I want NeoGAF to be all serious but sheesh!
 
By the gaming gods misterxmedia has just been a hell of a lot of fun to read today. Especially during the DX12 stuff, but especially after Albert's tweet. It's not quite meltdown levels but a lot of "shrugs lol i didn't believe insider anyways" even though they clearly did. There's some "how could microsoft let this happen" to.

What did he spin it to? He said today was suppose to be the magic day.

I'll pick out a few choice bits. During DX12 stuff from misterx's "insider":

X1 will not have to wait till 2015 for dx 12 features. Build will see dx 12 patches shown. Forza 5 patch on x1 soon ... api updates available to all 3rd party developers by April beta available since February. Dx12 on xbox one is accelerated by hardware architecture.

all games will be 1080p 30/60 @ e3 ... more hardware talk specific to x1 at build.. gfx evolution @ e3. Expect leaked dx12 tech demo on x1 later today. ..
Click to expand...

Before Albert's tweet:
and the fact ap (Begaria's note: ap is Albert Penello) didnt correct mrx over twitter last week over stacked gpu dx 12 is because its true in term... but I would ask them about there hardware layers and if there going to unlock the extra layer in time for September e3..
Click to expand...

After Albert's tweet:
Wait till amd have there discussion about there new gpu architecture later today...
albert is wrong.. there not dual staked gpus.. there is a dx core app and dx12 gpu with dual logic. Ms internal "term" layered hardware soc.

Nda ...

Dual logic .. mrc ... like crossfire but not. Like a gpu split in two.
Click to expand...

And of course, everyone's favourite line,
a lot more to dig :)
Click to expand...

I think they've dug right through to the core of the Earth by now.
 
It's misterxmedias dream to be melted down into secret sauce and spread between two gpus.

Hopefully we get some info on the second dx12 conference going on about now since it seems to focus on games.
 
NVIDIA will support the DX12 API on all the DX11-class GPUs it has shipped; these belong to the Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell architectural families.
Click to expand...

Nice. I think I'll have upgraded by the end of 2015, but it's good to know my current card will be supported regardless.
 
Holidays 2015... "get te-a fuck" to quote the Scottish drunken vernacular!

How exactly are we meant to plan or get excited for this?!

Who would have thought The Last Guardian and Half Life 3 could be giving release advice to a DirectX stack?!
 
This is a key quote:

"There are also much more subtle features such as memory management, multi core scalability swizzled resources and much deeper access controls. The net result is a potential gain of almost 20Gflops per frame (extra 4ms for the GPU). Microsoft also claims that the Xbox One will get a 20% boost per frame due to 20% more Gflops being available for use".

No way in hell MS said that.
 
belmonkey said:
Did they really use a Titan to show it? I know they probably wanted to make sure it was definitely 60 FPS, but I feel like that could give the impression that a much stronger GPU is needed to match what X1 is doing.

"And here we have Forza Motorsport 5 running at 1080p/60fps on a Geforce 2 MX!"

They need to be careful how low they drop the spec tbh. :P

That's essentially just product placement by nvidia dude.

They do it every time, they even placed a TITAN for their Cloud GI rendering.

That means that it will be able to recover those GFlops that were previously lost because API overhead. Some realistic figure given DX11 performance.

Mean nothing Albert Penello can't reveal MS plans too soon they tell him keep quite for now Penello know everything why you think he come GAF talk about little power difference we make DX he try to keep MS name clean after all Sony lies to keep truth from coming out about more powerful Xbox One but paid Sony ponies show much resilience and keep talking FUD about MS you watch big megaton coming all you Gaf ponies laugh answer right in front of you you can search yourself in the Xbox One and see the second layer under the 3 OS stereo mono hyperviser where stacked DX12 3.2TF GPU is if you smart you know where to look mark cerny liar about PS4 more powerful claim GDDR5 176gb bandwidth is best ponies believe him no MS choose DDR3 super low latency ESRAM 32MB combined big bandwidth better than PS4 extract more out RAM silly Sony think MS dumb no MS play hidden tactics game keep everything hush hush so when big announcement happen Sony have no time retaliate Sony rain is done GAF and N4G burns.

Funny you say this...because that is exactly how they are spinning things over there...

"it took a Black to run this game at 60fps!! The Xbone must be as powerful!"

He's joking guys
 
and you still miss the fact that the top Layer GPU isnt the one that is capable of doing
DX12

its a old DX11 GPU like the Ps4 Hardware

with this DX12 info
we now 99,9% sure
that here is a bottem Layer GPU
and this Thing is DX12 Hardware

so we not only getting on par with the PS4 Hardware
(thats already done with the last SDK and the Memory controler optimization)

and Ryse is fully Done on the Top Layer
with a real Next Gen Engine
we cant imagine what this Thing is capable of
with the full Power of Little and Big
