Wow at those people in that thread saying Microsoft is desperate because of a price drop lol.


Apparently Microsoft is desperate even when they didnt even say anything xD

Either way DX12 is sounding great as numerous statements has been praising it.  Whether or not it doubles performance or not we are still going to see a performance boost.  



Seriously they try to spin something positive into a negative everytime, like why should they care when it doesn't affect them if it were the other way around there would be nothing but praise and saying stuff like they did it for the gamers etc. Anyway i hope that this Brad guy is telling the truth about DX12.

His talking about Price Drop thread I think =P but anyway about that DX12 thread....seems like people don't even read the article since a few people were saying about how desperate MS PR is xD or other stuff about MS Pr when it's not even coming from MS xD 


oh my bad lol  Apparently MSFT is desperate regardless of what they do haha

Yeah i dont believe people read.  Note that the statement said performance and not power as well.  DX12 is meant to improve performance of hardware, not power of hardware.  I think people are trying to mix the two together and getting upset about it.  Im not entirely sure if there is even a reason to get upset.  I mean is there a reason to get upset if the XBO gets a performance boost?




       

Energy hook looks pretty good



Pretty sure no graphic engine make use of DX12 yet and it being PARTIALLY present already doesn't mean the current SKU has access to it yet... So yeah no XB one games are currently using or leveraging DX12...

and efficient multithreading will surely help... And any gain as little it will be is a plus anyway..

Who is this Brad guy anyway? what's he done in the past and whats he doing now?


Idk him personally but i havent looked him up. This wasnt posted by me but here is a quick overlook of him by cpg716

Thank you :)  Sounds like a good deal.  Is it just for Xbox One games or for every console?




       

I love people saying price drops are desperation... It just shows how retarded some people are... There is no such thing as emotion in business... Desperation simply CAN NOT exist in business... You have data, you have studies, you have trends and you have objectives and you adapt your strategy to come out with the optimal result... No moral or emotion are involved at any time in the thought process.. the only objective being to improve your net revenue END OF STORY...
if the objectives are not achievable and you can't make an acceptable profit... You don't do DESPERATE price cut... You just axe the product pure and simple...

 

Moderated - Kresnik.



Why people hate MS is unjustified and will always remain unjustified.
regarding dx12 it is not going to double the perfomance or power but it will definetely bring a boost in power. With the tiled resources developer will be able to hit 1080p/60fps.with dx12 developers can use Cpu more efficently which might help MS in bringing x360 games to XBox one. And why are people getting pissed off even if Xbox one gets a perfomance boost. Its good for gamers



I love this thread.  You guys know I do.  Just be careful with what you're saying about the price drop thread - don't devolve into insults.  Or I'll have to moderate you :(
