New Xbox One Update Boosts Console GPU Power

Vram makes more of a difference than system ram for games.

Yeah, no one realizes that GDDR5 is DDR3, just a different implementation.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> LOL!

Yeah the differences will be very minor.

It won't even be noticeable. The PS4 is as much more powerful than the X1 as the PS3 was over the 360 and it made no difference in the end. All that matters is that you have the console(s) you enjoy. Arguing about something you really cannot see in a fast paced game makes no difference. It is like the old Mustang v Camaro debate. You will always find something on the other side that you don't like and exploit it as a reason your is better.

While the cloud may not be able to increase the output of the consoles yet, the cloud works flawlessly with what it can do now. I don't mind criticism, but the whole "Claudzzz" thing is so immature..it's been going on for over a year now and it's never been amusing or funny. (This coming from a PC gamer).

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> your comments add nothing to the discussion. you imply I should sit back and say nothing, Sir, or madam, I challenge you to your own advise. Here is a sock

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> Rush, your reply doesnt even make sense, because my wants and ms wants are the same then its bad? and im sorry its you who is directing your insecurities my friend, not I. I especially love the jab about you having money. I can afford both, I just see no reason to own a ps4 at this time. but since you have so much money, how about you quit the bullshit and buy us all a round?

That is not true in the slightest. The reserved GPU processing was for SYSTEM functions, one of which was some Kinect processing. Microsoft is not sacrificing anything, they've optimized the system, reallocated it to the CPU, or found they didn't need it as much as they initially thought after real world deployment. Kinect functionality is remaining and will only be improved with further updates and time.

Unless that 10% from removing the Kinect (a move I'm pleased with) doesn't amount to anything. We'll just have to wait and see. It's interesting how much backpedaling Microsoft has done in the past year, not just on the console front but also the privacy front as well if their press releases can be believed. They were the first to jump onboard with PRISM after all, something that made the Kinect even less palatable than it already was. And then theres those rumors of a back door in Bitlocker. It's so hard to trust them right now.

Anyways I'm looking forward to the consoles that replace these ones since Microsoft will have (hopefully) learned many valuable lessons by then. If they have, my next console will probably be a Microsoft one. I love my Xbox 360 and I love my PS4. I love my PC too. I might even get an XB1 down the road depending on the quantity and quality of their exclusives. For now I am looking forward to PS Now most of all since I've never owned a PS3. So looking forward to playing The Last of Us Remastered later this month and hopefully many more missed PS3 exclusives in the near future too.

<< LINK REMOVED >> I love the kinnect, though i do not use it for games. I see less an impact on my uses. snap, record commands. How do ps4 ppl record stuff? is there a button or something to push? I just say record that. just asking

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> not sure what you are implying? Thanks for your vote of confidence
