TYRONE GA!
setting up the bias claims ahead of time I see. everyone seemed to like DF when they didn't have something 'positive' to say about the x1

we just had a thread about gaming journalism being a joke. I doubt it will be that way when the comparisons show up because one is CLEARLY superior to the other, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if there was a few sites on some fukkery.

Sigh your comprehension skills are low, Its amazing that so much system resources was reserved for other functions. The article is about giving some of the back for game development.
Breh, you said it is amazing that it holds 10% back for other functions. I don't think it's amazing...

How is that amazing given all the UI effects the XBOX One has? If anything that's about the right number they should have reserved in the first place given its midrange GPU.

You guys are on the defensive so much that even legitimate questions are viewed as attacks. RELAX and answer the damn question.

1) old news
2) this isn't really a GPU upclock. It's just giving back what they originally locked out. not a bump. Conversely, by doing this, it will affect the speed of the apps/multitasking that they are taking away if they do this more than likely
3) Richard Leadbetter at DF must be gettin broken off good by MS the last few weeks
4) wouldn't shock me to see some DF fukkery when the comparisons between games on both systems drop. And if MS tries some payola shananigans, they will be ripped accordingly
5) if specs aren't that important (according to MS anyway), they surely have been on a PR attack the last month trying to make their shyt appear better....

Is that better my friend?

Not old news
Who said it a upclock? It's about using the resources that the hardware allows.
Oh I get it any good news for X1 is a MS shill :smh:

So currently:

Xbone: 1.18 TF GPU (12 CUs) for games
Xbone: 768 Shaders
Xbone: 48 Texture units
Xbone: 16 ROPS
Xbone: 2 ACE/ 16 queues

PS4: 1.84TF GPU ( 18 CUs) for games + 56%
PS4: 1152 Shaders +50%
PS4: 72 Texture units +50%
PS4: 32 ROPS + 100%
PS4: 8 ACE/64 queues +400%

In all of that you seems to forget the PS4 reserve system resources too and the Neogaf comparison you posted does not take that into account.

Well, clearly M$ is gonna try and push the Xbox One to it's limits now that everyone acknowledges that the PS4 obviously has more horses under the hood. I don't necessarily view this as good news, considering their track record with faulty hardware. I'm not getting one regardless (lose the Kinect and I'll reconsider), but if I were, I'd be even more leery in lieu of all these reports. Sounds like they're trying to overcompensate because of the PS4, and I have this funny feeling that they didn't build the system with these changes in mind.

and it wouldn't surprise me if people determine what is and isn't fukkery based on preconceived conclusions

edit: I read the neogaf thread this morning, so I knew this was coming. it would impress me if cats could come up with a talking point that didn't originate from there

Non of the things they are doing has anything to do with system reliability. It just shifting resources around.

Its open to interpretation on your end because you are used to being on the defensive and viewed it as an attack.

You said its amazing it holds back 10% and I asked why is it amazing to you. It is direct and straight to the point.

you don't think they would try to push it to it's limits otherwise?

See the issue with posting anything X1 related here. Instead discussing the report the stans came and say thing like "They must have been payed by MS he he he!" But anything negative X1 related is treated as truth. And sad thing they bring that shyt from the cesspool of a site named Neogaf :smh:

Breh, it's all the same. They're doing things with the system that I'm pretty sure they never intended to do. They built it one way, and now they're tinkering with their build. Of course that goes to system reliability. Considering what happened with the 360, that would make me a bit nervous as a prospective buyer.
