DirectX 12: Unlocking the Xbox One

^Well said^, it is that simple.

@tohellnbak

I'm not sure what you were getting at with your last paragraph but....

There have been several tech demo's released with DX12 ( even a Forza 5 re-build) so we can see first hand what the performance increases are and as it relates to lower end current hardware the gain is minimal.

That's to be expected and has always been that way. It's the threads that get started where people only look at the catchy headline "DX12 to bring 600 percent increases" and don't actually read the article that cause the hype snowball to start rolling and
people end up disappointed.

I could see DX12 giving a better boost than some are saying currently. I can also understand why they are not saying it yet. And you really have to understand how the hardware is utilized and how making certain software improvements can be huge sometimes.
DX12 and subsequent improvements can and may be big.

I can get much better performance out of a similar setup as the Xbox One. You know if I can do it that MS and other companies with many more minds working it can.

The hardware we have ...is what we have .

Improvements will come with software and programming .

Look at the first ... and ....latest 360 games ..chalk and cheese .

Dx12 is just a tool.

People that crunch numbers are missing the point in my opinion .

A great place to game .

Well given the fact that Phil Spencer himself said it wasn't going to make a big change on the xbox one I tend to believe him on that. Obviously DX 12 will be taken advantage of for pc games.
