Microsoft "Turning Xbox One 10% Reserved GPU For OS To 2%"

4.6
Microsoft may offer more breathing room for developers making games for the Xbox One, according to industry insider Pete Dodd who has proven to be extremely reliable before.

10% reserved gpu getting turned into 2% soon. And with that, I’m on my last bar leaving Puerto Rico. See ya soon if St. Thomas has sprint.

“Gpu for that certain system had 10% reserved. 8% video. 2% voice. Voice will remain. That video 8% will be up to devs. As it should be.

Currently 10% of the Xbox One GPU is reserved for OS functions and Kinect and it looks like that will be reduced to 2% soon, giving developers more power.”

While this does not seem much and won’t make the Xbox One equivalent to the PS4 in processing power, every bit helps. Microsoft had earlier also increased the CPU clock speed.

Another insider Ahsan Rasheed called this a “great news for Xbox fans”. Take this is a rumour for now but these insiders have a good track record with Xbox One related stuff.

Same with me! *High five*

Guys,

I'm serious. The Xbox One is nice, but it's so last gen. I played on my friends pc that he built for 550. It ran BF4 on Ultra with 75 FPS. That was a beautiful moment.


Not possible for only 550 in any currency to run 1080p+ BF4 ultra. The GPU needed would have to be $300+ with a CPU that is $200+, or cheaper GPU and CPU with more expensive cooling solution for over clocking to get more FPS. Not to mention the extra price a keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, RAM, PSU, case, DVD drive, and motherboard. My last build, that I recently sold, cost me $3,000 to build and was only "state of the art" for a few years.

They of course will be focusing all improvements to Xbox One now. 360 needs some love too

a lot of improvements will be able to be made if this happens cant wait to see if this happens or not. Hoping this happens if it does it will be amazing if not they are going to have a lot of problems with the system and developing.

I might have to do the same thing.


That's nice but you have to factor in upgrading every 3ish years or so, depending on whether you decide to upgrade a small piece at a time or a new rig altogether.
