Sony fanboys have for a full year been talking about specs of these systems
But lets be real. Deez nikkaz, you, me, ya mamaz. We don't fully understand these specs.
Sony is the king of talking about floating point calculations and you dumbass gamers go
So, Direct X.12 and Tiled Resources + Esram is what makes the XB1 >>> The PS4
Sony fanboys to combat this FACT would say things like first.. PS4 has tiled resources too
NO IT DOESN'T
After that LIE failed to stick, these dudes would scream how OpenGL can do the same things.. pretty much
Remember, these dudes have NO KNOWLEDGE on shyt, but make outlandish claims cuz they jelly
Well, for those who think I'm lying. Please point out a single lie please
So, what news do I have to back up what I'm saying?

Damn, last line says developers are getting annoyed by it. Its gonna be a hot summerValve's Rich Geldreich Notes Some Problems With OpenGL, DirectX 12 Will Leave It In The Dust

Rich Geldreich states these are his personal thoughts after working with OpenGL, Rich is currently working at Valve on 'Vogl' an open source OpenGL debugger. He makes some interesting points.
Looks like he is laying down some cold and harsh truths about OpenGL, maybe it's time to get it sorted? I've seen a lot of indie developers claim about how much more difficult OpenGL is to use over Directx, so he is clearly not alone.
QuoteMantle and D3D12 are going to thoroughly leave GL behind (again!) on the performance and developer "mindshare" axes very soon.I am not entirely sure I agree on the mind-share bit for Mantle, since I haven't seen that many developers claim they will support it. Performance wise they both could beat OpenGL though, that's pretty obvious.
For those of you who will jump on me for that above statement and bring up the talks about unlocking "15x more performance with OpenGL" that Nvidia, AMD and Intel did recently, well Rich notes this as well:
QuoteThey will not bother to re-write their entire rendering pipeline to use super-aggressive batching, etc. like the GL community has been recently recommending to get perf up. GL will be treated like a second-class citizen and porting target until the API is modernized and greatly simplified.
What a sad state we are in right now. With Valve heavily moving into the Linux & OpenGL space maybe they can help with all of this, who knows.
One thing to really agree on is this:
QuoteOne of the touted advantages of GL is its support for extensions. I argue that extensions actually harm the API overall, not help it.How many times have we seen in the past that one graphics card driver support x extension, but another does not? It causes all kinds of issues, a standard API to build against is what developers like, not all manner of possible combinations that may or may not exist on certain drivers.
Here is something else we can agree on:
QuoteDrivers should not crash the GPU or CPU, or lock up when called in undefined ways via the API
Should be obvious by now. Please hire real testers and bang on your drivers!
Better yet: Structure the API to minimize the # of undefined or unsafe patterns that are even possible to express via the API.This has happened to me too many times. I am sure we are all no stranger to hard-locks when playing games, be honest I am sure it has happened to everyone.
Reading the long blog post certainly brings some issues to light about OpenGL and why I constantly see developers getting annoyed by it.

what are we going to do

To entertain you though, tiled resources coupled with LE CLOUDZ will give the Xbox One a boost that's unprecedented. Titanfall will receive an update and play at a full 900P at 50fps locked!!!
Sure
