 PC is the poster child for diminishing returns. You think a $1500 build gives you three times the real world game performance of an X1? Dream on. 

Easily. I play at 4 times the framerate and twice the resolution of most console games and my current PC would be worth about that today (it cost 2000$ last year).

Sweet,  thanks, they're giving out numbers now, I see big performance gains.  And yeah, they're also targeting OpenGL ES!

Hello Mantl... errr, DirectX 12!

This is more than just taking the API to a lower level, they've also got new features as well.

[Boo Berry]

Finally a lower-level API that Nvidia will support too!  :rofl:

Oh, this is cool, the Turn 10 guys are talking about porting Forza 5 to D3D12, took 4 man-months to port the core rendering engine.

What effect will this have on the game? They've already hit the "magic" 1080/60 that everyone cares about, they going to bump up the graphics? Or just use it as a demo to show it can be done.

They have a demo of it now, running at a static 60fps.

 

Wonder if this means we can expect other games to push out updates once the XB1 is updated to v12.

very nice, loving what i'm seeing so far.

Quite possible.

I don't know, for now it's a demo but since it can be done why wouldn't the other developers try for it if they're game is sub-par right now?

[Boo Berry]

Ryan Shrout: AMD has been working very closely with DX12. Heh.

 

Ya think?  :rofl:

Existing games I doubt it. They've already made their money. Hopefully new games.

New games for sure, that's a given, but if a developer doesn't have a new game coming till 2015, why not push out a update for what you have now to take advantage of the gains in performance DX12 is giving you?

 

This is good, instant performance gains for me on my HD7870.

[Boo Berry]

Also depends on when DX12 is released, when it's released for the Xbox One and what Windows versions its released for on the PC. My guess is 8.1+.

[George P Global Moderator]

That's true, but I think this might come sooner rather than later.  Because it's targeting existing things, and the XB1 which will benefit the most from it, I could see it coming later this year actually.

[Boo Berry]

Nvidia guy's up now.

LOL, Mantle jab!

 

Ryan Shrout: NVIDIA will support DX12 on Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and forward!

 

F**k yes, I'm already good to go!

Good that they're listing what will get support from the start.

Glad to see DirectX 12 is confirmed for Xbox One. Huge news. I also see they want to port Forza to DirectX 12 as well. The demo was running it there. NICE.
