What is interesting is that people ignore the history of Direct X. Those who are well read on how Direct X changed the gaming industry in the past are more likely to appreciate the positive outlook of 2015.

Any recent source says the same thing. Yes it will increase but not by much. Even Devs are saying couple of percent increase. This mean it might be able to push 1080 as a standard but I doubt it will be able to do it with out sacrificing games details just like before. (example Destiny under satellite in cosmodrone with sniper rifle watching a friend ride away, the xbox one will disappear long before ps4 or grand theft auto all the extra details or cod view range looks to be less- if you own both system and same game on both to play with friends check it out.)

I support all systems (even the Wii U) and fan boys can die.

lol he’s only stating the facts for sony lol n he’s not a fanboy lol

DX12 basically optimizes the CPU… It allows for multiple cores to be utilized in the render pipeline as opposed to the way it is now with DX11 only taxing one core. Nothing is being unlocked that can’t be used now but having the frame spread out over multiple cores will decrease the ms per frame which equates to higher framerates if the dev chooses to go that route.

Phil said it would not help the graphics. It will definitely help in other areas

TLoU also runs on ancient engine, which is great for the PS4 since it’s nothing but brute-force. Brute-force can only bring you so far for the next few years.

You want the head of XBOX to say yes DX12 will double and triple the performance of the XB1 when they have NOT completed DX12 and they have difficulties getting to 1080p/30fps/60fps locked. You’ll be a laughing stock to claim something that’s still at least 6-7 months away from completion. It would be utter stupidity if he made that claim. In fact, it’ll likely backfire.

Remember this article? http://www.neowin.net/news/directx-12-a-game-changer-for-xbox-one

“The results are spectacular. Not just in theory but in practice (full disclosure: I am involved with the Star Swarm demo which makes use of this kind of technology.) While each generation of video card struggles to gain substantial performance over the previous generation, here, the same hardware will suddenly see a doubling of performance.

XBox One is the biggest beneficiary; it effectively gives every Xbox One owner a new GPU that is twice as fast as the old one.”

He later had to recant it because MS provided him with all the info as long as he signed an NDA.

DX11 in the XB1 is not DX12. Why would Metro Redux developer criticized MS for shipping the XB1 with DX11 if it has all the low-level that you claim it has? Why would a draw call takes a million times longer than the PS4?

DX12 has a ton of API and hardware support that are not in use by XB1. MS right now is in patch mode trying to bring a few ideas from DX12 to DX11.X for the XB1 in the short-term.

Really John doe? How much better? In my experience, not a noticable difference
