Microsoft to unlock reserved GPU performance for Xbox One development.

Xbox One reserves 10 per cent of graphics resources for Kinect and apps functionality, Digital Foundry can confirm, with Microsoft planning to open up this additional GPU power for game development in the future. This, and further graphics and performance-based information was revealed during our lengthy discussions with two of the architects behindthe Xbox One silicon.

"Xbox One has a conservative 10 per cent time-sliced reservation on the GPU for system processing. This is used both for the GPGPU processing for Kinect and for the rendering of concurrent system content such as snap mode," Microsoft technical fellow Andrew Goossen told us.

"The current reservation provides strong isolation between the title and the system and simplifies game development - strong isolation means that the system workloads, which are variable, won't perturb the performance of the game rendering. In the future, we plan to open up more options to developers to access this GPU reservation time while maintaining full system functionality.

It's a long technical read but gives a little insight to what going on inside of the X1. It amazing the X1 reserves 10% for non graphics reasons. But as the system drivers matures those will be released. It rumored Turn 10 as a 1st party dev have had access to these drivers before anybody else and that's why Forza 5 looks so damn good at 1080p/60fps.

This is for mature discussion if you incapable please leave stage left.

What exactly is so amazing about it?

You too, Who said it was anything amazing? It's called posting information.

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?

Yep, this article wasn't even worth posting.

A while back I read about the hypervisor running the Xbox one os, and it pretty much explained how this will work. It's pretty cool tech and I'm interested to see if they can really pull it off.

Let's try this again

Let's try this again

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%

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.

1. It's never been fully explained. More insight is a good thing for people who are interested
2. No one said it was an upclock
3. Neogaf conspiracies
4. More neogaf conspiracies
5. What wrong with them talking about the system they've spent billions of dollars and multiple years to develop 45 days before its release?

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
