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.

50% is quite a bit. Can't wait for this to be rolled out!

-Dropz I think this will be a good little addition to have.


Yeah more games will be 1080p instead of 720 but it really doesn't matter to me.

daRealRush Well this is good to see that DirectX 12 will make the Xbox One get more 1080p games. Even though I can't see the difference 720p and 1080p.


If you play on a powerful and detailed monitor, 720 and 1080 is very noticeable.


Yeah its only noticable on a small powerful monitor , big screens arwnt much diffrence

Seems most console players can't tell the difference.



I could never tell the difference when playing on consoles, but when I got on the PC to play, I was able to notice the difference between 720p and 1080p. Still, I thought the Xbox One was already on 1080p? I haven't owned one, but I was told it was on 1080p.


No it's not on 1080p yet but all games that will be coming too new games that are coming out soon but i think the games are on 810p at the moment but im not comepletly sure.

I really didn't think the Xbox One had the hardware to support DirectX 12, as it couldn't seem to render a palm tree in Battlefield 4.
