| KBG29 said: XBO 3rd party games are where they are in comparison to PS4 3rd party games because, that is the difference in power between the GPUs. It has been the case in every comparison between similar AMD GPUs for the last 2 years. No amount of optimization is going to push a 1.3TF GPU to reach the level of a 1.84TF GPU, when they are the same exact tech. XBO games will be half the resolution of PS4 games all generation at the same frame rate. XBO may be able to add some extra effects at 720 with optimizations, but it will never have a game at 1080p parity with PS4. XBO will be a great entertainment device, and very well could be the best selling platform, but it is not capable of matching PS4 graphically in 3rd party games. |
The hardware difference is not the only thing participating in the performance drop of Xbone.
The native hypervisor running 3 OS at the same time might be a big actor there. It's probably to facilitate dev of UI and Kinect apps, but having 3 different OS running at the same time makes it harder/impossible to have full performance on the "Game only" OS.
