The exaggeration comes from anyone who claimes that the new DX12 could have a performance boost close to mantle on PC. This is simply rubbish.

DX12 won't even have  such a big performance boost on PC, on consoles only a fraction of it.

You can tell the future?  Even more so is there people claiming that it will effect XBO more than PC?  So what makes it rubbish?  You seem to have the worlds answers before they appear so maybe youre the one im looking for to answer these for me.

So who is going to be the next president for USA?  You should know, after all you can claim things before we know anything at all

Dont worry guys, dont even tune in to hear what MSFT has to say at GDC, Vivster already has the answers.  He will tell us now

Sorry, this one was a freebie. Anything more will cost ya extra.

Also I already told you the answers. DX12 will have a moderate performance boost on PC and the performance boost on X1 will be negligible.

I can see it in my crystal ball that's filled with an extra portion of common sense and one spoon of technology 101.

I'll give you a hint: performance boost on APIs is achieved by bringing them closer to hardware level. How much closer can you get an API on a console that already is as close to the hardware as it gets?
