DirectX 12 Boosts Xbox One CPU Performance by 50%, GPU by 20% - Report

Leaked documents from Microsoft confirm performance increase

A brand new leak has arrived online, supposedly from Microsoft's documentation about DirectX 12 on the Xbox One. The main takeaway is an estimation of the performance increase offered by the new technology. Apparently, Microsoft believes that DirectX 12 boosts the CPU performance by 50% and the GPU performance by 20%.

The Xbox One launched in most places back in November of 2013, and as more and more titles arrived on both the Microsoft console and its rival, Sony's PS4, it became clear that the Xbox One's hardware wasn't exactly capable of rendering games at the same level of quality as Sony's device.

The poorer performance figures were pinned on an array of things, such as the 32MB of esRAM memory, but things should get better once the Windows 10 operating system is released for the Xbox One this November.

DirectX12 brings a big increase in performance for the CPU and GPU

While a performance increase is expected, thanks to the all-new DirectX 12 API in Windows 10 for the Xbox One, no exact figures are known, at least until Microsoft actually releases the operating system.

Until then, it seems that the corporation has already offered some fresh documentation to developers working on Xbox One games right now. One such file was obtained by SoloXboxOne and it includes a portion that refers directly to the DirectX 12 performance increase.

Microsoft apparently confirms that DirectX 12's new Direct3D graphics API guarantees an increase in performance for the GPU of about 20%. The overall technology also brings an even bigger improvement to the CPU performance figures, as developers can expect a 50% increase in the output of the main processor.

The documents also confirm a better API for the esRAM so that developers can achieve 1080p as a standard resolution "more frequently."

It's unlikely that Microsoft will confirm the leak or the performance figures just yet, but it's possible that developers will talk about them in the future.

SOURCE WHERE LEAKED INFO WAS OUTED (text in spanish. its your lucky day Tormentos...espanol is your native language, Si?)

well hey....

R.I.P.

condolences and well wishes to his family.

yea, its your job too...when are you going to start doing it? you first posted in here 9 hours ago.

@tormentos: i must have really hurt your feelings sometime in the past. get over it please, i'm sorry.

why do you keep writing me lol? i have three or four notification from you here. you aren't even writing me because you proved a point against me. they're just random BS post that don't really mean anything, to nothing...smh idk. listen, i prefer our relationship be you respond to me when i namedrop you. besides that stay out of my notification please. because you come off like some annoying kid, talking some annoying kid stuff, when you write me lol.

and i give no fucks if mods close my threads, or whoevers. if its a dupe thread...close the motherfucker lol. do your job on here. otherwise you look like a petty bitch that tries to drown people's threads in favor of another even when that other one has clearly broken the TOS and rules of the board. right @Wasdie? yea, @Wasdie agrees. its the same exact same link and pictures, lol smh.

actually, i don't know. i have no clue about any of this cpu, gpu, Dx12, tech shii. i don't even try to pretend like i do. even in my Dx12 threads i just post the shii and wait to see if its good news or not, LOL.

so that's what happened...wow, damn. no wonder cows are in here acting like they just won the Superbowl...when they lost at the game in 7 hours(The Order 1886 jab teehee). there was some kind of miscommunication with the article. that was then updated and excluded XB1 from the equation. so still, nothing has been clearly stated about the effect Dx12 will have on the console yet...or has there?? idk, i don't see how that makes it a big win or loss for either faction here. the article/site got owned more than anyone here lol.

looks like its back to waiting on Dx12 news for lems. really, that Dx12 dev team needs to do that podcast sooner than later. MS dragging this whole process out is only making it all seem sketchy. something should have been stated during the presentation about the effect it will have on XB1, directly. not this vague BS. it has both sides talking confidently about shii they still have little verified information on...

uh, mr. mod sir....how are you actively participating in this thread when its a carbon copy of my other thread...a thread that you yourself participated in sir? How is that possible that you're not handling your mod duties appropriately here...aren't duplicate threads supposed to be handled accordingly sir? I mean, the exact same link and photos...the same article. How haven't you picked up on this being a duplicate thread by now sir? you were actively participating in my other thread that has the exact same link and pictures you're in here commenting on right now Mr. Wasdie sir? So how is it possible you haven't handled your duties by now sir? You couldnt have missed it (again) since your discussing the OP thats a carbon copy of my thread....so how sir, why?? I'm curious.
