10% More GPU Power in the Kinectless SKU's

Can we drop this now... If people don't want to read what has been posted, then make asinine statements... Let them. Stop trying to be helpful towards people who don't want to help themselves.

I think the good people here have made things clear enough.

:)

 

Is any one using their xbox one with out kinect?

Rumours than Microsoft are working on a patch to take the 10% power reserved for Kinect and reallocate it to the GPU! Something to do with 1080p output! Can't provide a link but I spotted it on an IGN tweet.

I personally can still see a kinectless SKU coming at some point.

 

Xbox One continues to impress! 10% more GPU power!

They didnt give it 10% more power troll. They reserved 10% of the gpu for non-gaming functions.

 

Well, its becoming more and more apparent that ms are beginning to write off Kinect. Wonder what the next step will be.

 

What all this means OP is that MS can't do a software patch to run Power demanding games without dropping the Kinect. 10% isn't a lot, and when the benchmark for games increases. As we all know it will.. What happens to those who bought a Xbone early?

You'll be looking to trade it in in order to Upgrade the unit. Or you'll hang onto it hoping that somehow, someway. Your initial investment can at least run the newer games.

Issues, whether projected, or real. Is why. You DO NOT buy the 1st runs of any console.

Patience has it reward.

 

^^That entire statement made no sense whatsoever.

 

^^ Well thank you 24hrs for that insightful comment.

 

Did you by any chance read into the thread a little?

 

kinect sucked from day 1 they announced it, i guess microsoft finally grew ears thanks to phil spencer's take over.

 

SNOOP: Do your research. Did MS know back even before January 2014, that they would HAVE to drop Kinect in order to feed more demanding games?

But what was their explanation for dropping Kinect?

Google is your friend.

 

^^But clearly it is not your friend.

MS DECISION TO REMOVE KINECT FROM THE BOX DOES NOT MEAN THE CONSOLE WILL BE MORE POWERFUL. THEY ARE SIMPLY RELEASING THE RESERVE GPU SPACE USED BY KINECT. THIS WILL ALSO EFFECT XBOX ONE CONSOLES WHICH HAVE A KINECT CONNECTED. NOW DEVELOPERS HAVE MORE GPU
TO WORK WITH AS THEY CAN CODE WITHOUT HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT KINECT.

Hopefully all caps gets the point across.

 

^^ No it don't NOT BY A LONGSHOT. Which is why I suggest a more POWERFUL Slim version. Item #3 below.

 

electroflying you clearly have not grasped what this actually means, there is no difference between the kinectless and kinected xbox one's, the hardware remains the same, even in a slim version of the console the hardware will be the same, no difference,
the 10% that is released wont effect the kinects performance on the system itself because it is reserved for in-game features for the Kinect not for things like xbox record that or xbox go home all that will still be useable on a kinectless xbox if you want
to plug a Kinect in, all that's changing is for a developer to have the option to use that 10% for Kinect features or for something else in-game.

 

Doesn't matter how many different types of X1 they bring out over the next 5-10 years, they will all have the same capability when it come's to the game's.

 

For those that aren't grasping this. THERE ISNT A NEW MORE POWEFUL X1. Maybe caps will help.

They talked of the extra 10% before dropping the Kinect. Its for the devs. The day one console is the same as the Kinectless one. You just have to buy the Kinect separate if you decide you want one later.
