DirectX 12 to be used on Xbox One

4.5
The next generation version of Microsoft's DirectX API was unveiled to an audience at GDC on Thursday in San Francisco. A development manager at Microsoft, Anuj Gosalia, asserted that DirectX will be utilized across all Microsoft platforms. The Xbox One according to Microsoft will perform at least 50% more efficiently regarding CPU usage once DirectX 12 is implemented.

Props to XBONE Let's enjoy some 1080p Games. Wait I don't see the difference!

This will definitely boost Xbox One fans pride. However, i'm still that ps4 type of guy. I prefer it and like it better.

Ravn I'm pro Xbox all the way, but facts are facts. No point in denying them. I still prefer the Xbox even though it's not as powerful, because at the end of the day, I can live with 720p as long as the gameplay is there. The gameplay makes the game worth playing, not the graphics.


With the new D3DX12 Xbox will be par with the PS4, if not it will be ~5% less powerful.

Thlack Finally, less 720p games.... This is awesome. I wonder how much more powerful the PS4 still is? That isn't a "smart" or rude remark either, it's an actual question.


The Xbox was always Faster the PS4 just had better quality now that it has no advantage its not better Microsoft outsmarted Sony.


That's not true at all, after the Xbox stole some of Kinects resources the game was about 40%.
DirectX12 can supposedly increase graphics power by 20%, but in real life examples probably 10-15%.

The PS4 will still be stronger by 25-30%.


You pulled all of those numbers out of your ****. Go get some FACTS or get out.


yeah ROI took the facts from unknown source however PS4 will in fact be still superior because it uses OpenGL and on GDC intel, amd and nvidia found a way to minimise overheads of OpenGL to almost nothing which results in 10-15 TIMES better performance for PC, Linux and now PS4 as well (Higher framerate, Higher resolution etc)


or instead of lookin at all this technical sht. you just put them right by each other and compare. i personally thought the xbox looked better in terms of graphics. but others will disagree. and that is their choice. who honestly cares. they are literally just about the same. all that matters is the content of the game. not the graphic


Pulled out random facts? Look up the difference, when the console launched the difference was about 50%. Then Microsoft opened up Kinects resources, gaining an extra 8%, making the difference around 40%.

If you actually researched DirectX12, you would see that the numbers i posted are entirely accurate. You are quick to deny facts that are not what you want to here. But they are true, look it up you will see.

the Xbox one really filled with great surprises. It's crazy that its able to perform 50% more effectively just because of DirectX 12

MissPosted:

50% more?! That's pretty insane for a console.

Direct 12 just allows for the coding to be processed faster doesn't necessarily mean it will improve overall graphical performance.
