New Xbox One Update Boosts Console GPU Power

No, I doubt it. But they may disable Kinect for some games that want that 10%. That's the most likely thing from the sound of it... they could allow developers to disable Kinect so Microsoft didn't look like the bad guys when people realized they wouldn't be able to say "Record That" etc.. This is all just conjecture, though... who knows what will happen at this point?

I bet that will make it bridge the next 8 years just fine.

Eh....more secret sauce?

Now that's funny. LOL

So they overclocked the ram a little?... Erm well done but almost completely useless.

Does this mean less and less memory is going to be dedicated to each consoles OS, or does that not factor in?

You're not funny dude so don't even try.

I love that MS is ensuring Xbox One users are getting monthly updates, increasing power, GwG and GwD, adding apps, listening to consumers, and the list goes on and on.

damn, you got shot down on that pretty hard. lol. Lil hint, read the links you post next time, bub ;)

The PS4 uses some of it's GPU for it's own resources so it's likely around 1.7 TF. So the Xbox One is going to be closer but the PS4 is still going to be a little more powerful. Now if Cloud computing can offload some resources on some Xbox One games you'll see some really impressive games in the next few years. I think one could be a new Crackdown 3 for physics.

Please explain to me why cows should be worried.

Keep talking stupid Microsoft. SMH

Patch it in a game to PROVE it....or STFU about it.

Words are just that. Words.

Implement this power into Forza or something. This act is old.

I just downloaded a 368 meg update that added amazing features. While Sony is still stabilizing my PS4.

Shits old Sony.

I'll believe all this "secret sauce" once it's been proven. Otherwise this is almost laughable people think the XB1 is gonna unlock some hidden "power"

Winning post.

They need to show it in a game that is already out. Or stfu and deal with their weak sauce shit.

I just gave my Xbox a gentle tap and whispered in its massive cooling vents "I love you".

I'm not denying that there are people that are really enjoying their XB1/PS4 and I think that's great. But for me specifically I just don't have a reason to own one yet. I've owned playstation and xbox every generation so far, so I expect this gen to be no different. I'm hoping e3 will be great this year for Sony, MS, and Nintendo.

meanwhile over here:

Hahhahaaaaaaaaaaaa........

See you don't know anything,there was an 8% reservation for Kinect GPU reservation that is,from the 10% 8% was Kinect 2% system already confirmed..

Kinect audio is process by the sound chip Shapes.

The PS4 didn't have a 10% reservation to begin with so no..

More powerful cheaper is all we care.

Kinect-less sku was the fatal blow, this is just burying the carcass. I will miss kinect, could have been a good pairing with vr.

The kinect uses the GpGpu for something. I don't remember what it was.

Yeah i am going to need a link for that...

No matter what is 1.84TF vs 1.3...

The cloud can't offload anything major period internet totally lack the speed for it.

Yeah where is the update to have more games and better score.lol

Don't get man this is MS just trying to convince suckers that the xbox one will have more power,in fact you can already see the update has been in use more games are 792p and 900p and some 1080p,this is just in time for E3 $399 xbox crap they just want to make the xbox one look as close as possible to the PS4 desperation is a stinky cologne.

Shouldn't it have been this good from the start?

if its on the intranets it must be true. everyone spread the word - its safe to buy xbox ones now!

7770 is suddenly an R9 290x.

It will unlock 10% more lemmings in buying the console fooling them with more gpu sauce.

Seriously. Same shit, different day.

Hilarious. He's Just posting wildly and inaccurately. He saw a post he didn't like, but he didn't understand either. Posted anyways. Rush to damage control as much as possible while avoiding any and all actual information. Duly noted trolling and moronic behavior. :)

That's the most powerful 2% in the world of gaming PR.

But it makes headlines and people are dumb, so...

Would you unplug a camera to unlock extra graphics? Is that option really the table? Haha.

Kinect is going to get really useless really fast as people start unplugging it and selling it.

Lems continue to embarrass themselves with clouds and secret sauce lol.

Clouds and secret sauce won't make up for that shitty Bonaire GPU. You guys better get used to 792p and other shitty odd resolutions.

lol.

The hardware is static, dang. I thought with enough updates it was going to go into beast mode, but I forgot they used cheaper and weaker parts and charged more for the machine.

I have both and I don't agree with that other hardcore fanboy slanted user (revealed in previous threads) at all with regards to owning both. He's all about selling Xbones every other sentence. I hardly use my PS4/Xbone, but I use my PS4 far more often than the Xbone. I bought at launch. PS4 gets multiplats due to performance (what I did with 360 last gen) and few exclusives. Xbone is used for few exclusives. Neither are in that OMG buy me! mode to me, but I always pick up the new toys at launch.

Other facts:

PS+ has given 9 games to PS4 since launch. It's just this month of JUNE that M$ finally are getting around to offering Games with Gold for Xbone, so maybe things will improve. Sony's been banging out PS+ games since launch. I'm not glad I own both, but it is what it is. My Wii U gets more play than either, but only slightly, but the most play in the house honestly is the PC and PS3. The 360 sort of tapered off on exclusives and I just finished some Wii games in my backlog. Moving along steady.

He has put a good PR face of games first, we respect the great team at Sony, fanboys are idiots, up. Very smart, humble approach.

Haven't seen that before. Carry on :D

I honestly don't know how people are buying this PR shit storm.

If they pull it off i'll eat my damn shoe. But otherwise what console has had power behind it's walls and has gotten better?

Granted these systems are closer to PC than anything But it's literally all up to development.
We saw what first party studios eeked out of Gen seven systems but the consoles were never at a better position than where they started.
Did software and dev kits get better? Yeah of course. But there's nothing out there that's physically in the system now that will make it better.

We went through it last gen, and it was bad enough. The X1 is the weaker console this gen, but as long as it has some solid games, then who cares?

Exactly. We'll definitely get improvements, as engines and the like improve, but definitely no magic sauce.

so how much more powerful is ps4? with consoles we aren't really in it for the graphics we just like console games.

yeah? then why did you upgrade to current gen? Not like it has more games to play...

The only thing cheaper and weaker is the GPU and core ram ddr5 vs ddr3. Hopefully the esram can close that gap. I'll believe it when I see it though.

Every other hardware feature is better or a push on X1.

CPU: push

WiFi controller: hands down X1

Sound chip: Hands down x1

Blu-Ray player: push

HDMI ports: X1

USB 3.0 ports: x1

Number of controllers that can be connected at once: X1

OS: X1 FACT

Controller: push, depends on what you prefer.

To say they added cheap shit and threw it in a box, when going head to head with Sony's cheap shit is kind of hyperbole.

The graphics card choice was a major fold on Microsoft's part. Considering this is a gaming console.

32 megs of esram seems rather near sighted also.

If they're going to talk this shit about power. They need to implement it into one of their exclusives. Hit the target mark they first showed for Forza. Then I might take this BS seriously.

Bingo, the question is what can MS do in the long term if it doesn't catch on (which is a possibility). I mean people talk and consumers talk we're a small minority but with a big voice. If people hear what's better from us the people who don't understand start talking regardless we argue about every stupid minuscule detail. But to the average joe, if they hear the PS4 does 1080P and 60FPS and the games run better on the PS4 that's all they need.

IMO MS has to really get a handle on a lot of solid games. I mean I hate to see them just throw money and toss around the competition and strong arm the games industry but it can very well happen but it won't happen as we have said with secret sauce.

was tired of that long ass gen.

What are you all going on about? The issues with how you feel about Microsoft and the industry have little to do with what has happened with the update. It was stated before that they are just going to allow developers to determine if the additional features that where running in system background for kinect are needed for the game if not the total available resources will be increased. Its not "secret sauce" they are telling you exactly how they are doing it, its as simple as if you opened your task manager and shut down some of the background programs running on windows. You guys are blowing this up.

40-50% more powerful in sheer GPU throughput. MUCH moreso on overall system bandwidth.

Well they've got to do something, Sony is dancing all over them right now.

MS finally installed MSI afterburner.

Watch it be something like a 1 or 2% frame boost. All dat powa. Or even worse consoles start bricking, lol.

Now that would be a shit storm.

ESRAM will start to shit on PS4 fans parade soon *From the Cloud and planet vegeta* and this is just the beggining.

Just Kidding but the 10-30# power advantage of PS4 cant save it from being infinitely inferior to PS1,PS2 and Xbox 360.
