A couple of days ago, Ian Bell – Slightly Mad Studios’ boss – claimed that DX12 would bring a 30-40% performance boost in Project CARS. Ian Bell wrote this on an Xbox One thread, suggesting that this boost was for Microsoft’s current-gen console. Well, it appears this is not the case as Ian Bell clarified the performance boost PC and console players can expect from this new API.
As Ian Bell said, this 30-40% was for the PC version of Project CARS (in DX12 mode). Console gamers should expect a 7% (or slightly more) performance boost from DX12. Still, the performance gains won’t be close to those achieved on the PC.
As Ian claimed, Slightly Mad Studios will be now focusing on the hardest hit areas on circuits (this is mainly art optimisation). As we’ve indicated in our PC Performance Analysis, there are circuits that have a huge performance hit for really unknown reasons (either due to NVIDIA’s drivers or due to various optimization issues).
Later on, Ian revealed that the DX12 patch for Project CARS will most probably released this year, though nothing is set on stone as of yet.
Last but not least, Ian claimed that slower quad-core CPUs – on the PC front – will most probably see a 40% performance boost due to DX12. This performance boost is similar to what most developers have reported in the past, so this is good news for all those with weaker PC configs.

what i get from this is that people paying peanuts expecting ferrari performance.
Actually, in PC, you can actually get that (by comparison). Digital’s Foundry build already outperforms PS4 in the Witcher 3. Give DX12 and those 40 fps will go to 60. That is great for the PC mustard race.
PC is the way to go. Both consoles are hopelessly underpowered.
One side (The xbots) are coming to terms with it, the other side (The sonytards) still think they are getting ferrari performance when they bought actually bought a 1999 Dodge Neon but the put side skirts and a spoiler on so it’s “Faster”.
It would be great if the ‘big’ games released during this DX11-DX12 transition would get a DX12 patch too. Seems like at least Witcher 3 may get such a patch.
I bet GTA V gets one. Especially if R* wants to do VR where high framerate is essential. I wouldn’t be shocked if it gets both official VR support for Vive and OR and a Direct X 12 update at E3. No other game really stands out as meriting getting a DX12 patch. Maybe Shadow Of Mordor or Mortal Kombat X but I really doubt WB would bother. I doubt Ubi would go back to the well for Far Cry 4 and AC Unity either. I could see EA doing one for DA:I, Battlefield 4 and Hardline since Mantle support is dead, though.
As long as Arkham Knight gets DX12 treatment…
Didn’t Nvidia leak that already? Still, It’s out June and Win 10 is out July so I wouldn’t be shocked. MS said the first new PC game shipping with DX 12 was Fable Legends but they never said anything about games already shipped. I’d say it would be a good candidate though.
Welp Xbot’s…We can cross DX 12 off the save the Xbone chalkboard list then.
Actually, it may match the PS4 in some cases. It’s not like they could stand against PC, so…..
Edit: Not to mention that Xbone will be more of a concept, a cheap computer if you will. A PC build that will run Windows 10…..
“it may match the PS4″…So with this line of thinking…A Dreamcast with DX 12 could match a PlayStation 2 in graphical throughput? Software has never made weaker hardware match stronger hardware, you can only optimize for the weaker hardware.
With the difference that Dreamcast will not get DX12, XBONE will. And it can count with a 5 to 10% improvement in graphical output. See where this is leading?
*Sigh* My comparison of Dreamcast and PS2 was hypothetical, just like all this DX12 will make Xbox One “on par” with PS4 graphically hypothetical assumptions.
“See where this is leading?” More wishful thinking, hype, and denial from Xbone owners and Xbot’s?
Xbot? Such stupid assumption. I do not have an XBONE, nor would I ever buy such toxic product.
And again, the difference between PS4 and XBONE will be lessened (if not completely gone), making those on par (or close in terms of graphical performance). Which will be generations from PC.
Xbox one has 50% less power no amount of software will fix that
XBOX has 50% less GPU’s CUs (i think) which is not the same thing, it also has ESRAM which can offload some routines to get pretty big gain, though usage is very tricky.
Yeah what i meant has extremely outdated memory for GPU access to be considered a AAA game console and it has 50% less GPU shaders making the system quite underpowered compared to a PS4 and yes we all know how much even a 400$ computer could beat a PS4 in most cases and well still function as a PC and get amazing steam sales like i just did today(bought whole bunch of games for like 3$ a piece)
I actually save a lot of money playing on the PC all though i wish i did have a Wii U.
There’s no way a $400 PC could outperform an Xbox. I’m not a console person, at all – I don’t own a console and I build and use PC’s for a living. A PC is a general-purpose machine, whereas everything in the Xbox is specifically built for gaming.
I can build a I3+750TI for 400$ and it would beat a xbox and PS4
Edit as some credit i just built this rig for someone on a budget of 300$ and it will play games ok
Fractal Design Core 1000 27$
Rosewill Stallion Series RD400 30$
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 52$
Western Digital Caviar Blue 320 GB 23$
GIGABYTE GA-F2A68HM-H FM2+ 41$
AMD A10-5800K Trinity Quad-Core 3.8GHz 90$
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 35$
Total: 293$ all came with free shipping
Drop the CPU for a pentium unlock edition or a quad core APU should save 20$ on the CPU the board will be around the same price drop the heat-sink on the Pentium and use stock OC to 4.0Ghz(most can i built) then get a 750Ti or buy a used I3 and used GPU from ebay do this a lot to.
Sorry man, you’re not taking something into consideration: developers have entire teams of people optimizing their game for that exact system. If you build your own computer you’ll also need an operating system, Windows in particular, and that’s a bloated mess. The Xbox OS is streamlined and optimized, once again, for that EXACT hardware configuration. And not only this but it uses a unified CPU+GPU architecture, so it’s optimized for hardware that is fundamentally different in design.
Your theoretical build looks good on paper, and can probably crank out good numbers, but it’s not going to beat a highly optimized XBox running a highly optimized game for the same price. That’s simply the reality of it. Not that I would ever buy an Xbox.
Xbox is using nothing more then outdated DDR3 memory being used for graphics as well as a horrible just horrible CPU the GPU itself is a 7790.
Toxic product, indeed! They seem to purposely gimp DX11, forcing you to buy a separate gaming machine when your computer is capable of 10x the performance of an Xbox.
Just don’t buy any Microsoft product. The whole company is toxic.
It’s hypothetical because the PS2 was garbage and could only do half the resolution of the Dreamcast as well
I wonder if Sh*tstation shills will ever notice they are not welcome around here with their garbage console and wishful thinking, hype and denial. Even Sony said they have no games this year :^)
You’re one mad angry undercover Xbot!
The fact you replied to ALL of my comments just to downplay the PS4 which I ALREADY KNOW is weak relative to what PS3 was in 2006 shows how insecure you really are.
LMAO at using the “PC Master Race” moniker to hide your Xbone bias Xbot! You’re an idiot if you think God of War 2 or Gran Turismo 4 could run on a Dreamcast dipsh*t.
A dreamcast was 640×480 output on 95% of its titles. A PS2 only had 5% of titles at that output with most at 512×240.
Should be a Gamecube/PS2 comparison since PS2 was the weakest console that gen and only had 10% more theoretical power than the DC (Which was eroded since the assembler used for PS2 was garbage). But you seem to lack logic, Josh :^)
I’m glad you’re fighting the good fight for us PC gamers, but don’t get dragged into a numbers game – all you need to tell them is the advantages of the PC platform. There’s a looooong list of things a “personal” computer makes possible that is impossible on a console. And above all it gives us Choice, which means that innovation is rewarded, unlike consoles whose technology stagnates the industry.

That’s ok. Project cars isn’t a DX12 game anyway.Xbox 1 is still the best place to play. Its either that or go with the console maker that’s already admitted to having a sparse 1st party lineup. Xbox gamers have more to look forward too with their 1st party games. Halo 5, Tomb raider, Scalebound,Quantumbreak and more. All that and still in the black. I still waiting to play Last Guardian….lol
“Xbox 1 is still the best place to play.” (in your opinion).
The above comment paid for by M$FT Corporation™. “XB1M13”. Gotta have some hope of glory to hang on to right Xbot?
Most Xbone “exclusives” are on PC anyway where DX 12 benefits most on PC! LOL
Paid for by MS? Sony wish they could pay for something… lol Yea MS supports PC and its other platform, which is windows. When is sony gonna start doing the same vita?. I’m willing to give them a loan.
Trying too hard Xbot…Look at it logically. Sony…The company who is going “broke” made a more powerful console vs. Microsoft, the “behemoth” who no longer has a chokehold on operating systems, makes the less powerful, Xbox One.
How is the company with less money able to 1UP the company with more money? LMAO. Give it up you Xbot’s reach for whatever you can. I suppose Sony DID PAY to have SFV, Silent Hills, No Man’s Sky, and Vanishing of Ethan Carter off the Xbone…Or is Xbone too weak?
“MS supports PC and its other platform, which is windows.” LMAO Xbot. When was the last time a Gears or Halo title was on PC? (Xbot Google’s it). M$FT wants to support PC NOW cause they know Xbone is a failing platform and they also have to sell a new OS and DX12 too! Duh Xbot!
Josh, look at it logically.
The Xbone is weak. So is the POS4. Who got a 20FPS version of the Witcher 3?
No matter how hard you shill for Sony, they will still be bankrupt. And MS supporting PC is a good thing around here since no more garbage consoles holding performance back like your POS4 :^)
Funny how it got rated as the best version out of the two. Funny how they used the ps4 version to do reviews. Your locked frames at 20 to chug through heavy scenes vs constant fluctuations and graphic changes sounds like a whole better deal :/ I will take a random drop locked vs graphics pr with constant stuttering and building pop ins
You can have 1080P and 60FPS on PC rudero. Doesn’t take a genius now, does it? :^)
You can. You can actually have better as well. But, just like the “PC master race” kids are always going to compare things. Just as if someone would wander into a graphics card comment section… Now that is a chicken fight if I have ever seen one.
But, since the mass market will never jump onto building gaming pcs, or, at least, I do not see my 8 year old doing so to play Mario, the consoles are here and between the consoles, there will be arguments of what separates them. Just like graphic cards and such items in a PC build.
Differences will be touted in all things with all people. You “master race” kids think you are above all but then fight worse then fan kids over PC builds. It’s cute.
What’s even cuter is when console fans talk about next gen graphics and then downplay PC graphics i mean really.
I never have seen it but I am sure it exists. Probably defensive like if an owner of a Ferrari is sitting in a Chevrolet lobby making fun of people for buy a cavalier. I never see console fans in PC related item articles praising their consoles but yet I see, what I like to call “the new PC master race”(but hurt Xbox fan boys) and actual PC kids in console articles all the time lately. It is like Microsoft’s little army with two fronts. It is very cute and not so clever.
“I never see console fans in PC related item articles praising their consoles”
you know this is a pcgaming site right ? and there is a fight about PSvsXbox going on in it’s comment sections, so shut your mouth and open your eyes.
here is one example (not counting your posts):
“Project cars isn’t a DX12 game anyway.Xbox 1 is still the best place to play”
Ha! This a correction article for all the boners who thought they were getting 30 to 40% boost on their over priced gaming console.. Shut your mouth.
No, it is the last place to play unless you love the worst version of next gen games. Two. Count em, two exclusives since launch with the same repetitive marketing hype crap games for the last 6 years.
no kid, this is a PC Gaming site and the article is about PC boost. so F off and never come back.
“No, it is the last place to play unless you love the worst version of
next gen games. Two. Count em, two exclusives since launch with the same repetitive marketing hype crap games for the last 6 years.”
wow idiot, just wow. that was an example of one of s**thead’s comments in a pc gaming site (few comments above) and it was a response to your comment which you said “i never see console fans in PC related item articles praising their consoles”
moron!
Love the toughness with the new defense. Sound so manly.
Tell you what, I will write what I want when I want and you as well. Or, get out of my country and live somewhere there is a dictatorship. People died to make this a free country where I am at and I am surely not ever going to listen to some ball-less tween on the Internet. Ok? Thanks sweetie.
“Love the toughness with the new defense”
so you have nothing to add and nothing to say and decided to change the subject ?
“get out of my country”
internet is not your s**ty country and i’m not living in your country you miserable F**k.
when you F’ed up and have nothing to say then shut it and leave peasant.
How stupid are you? I have said my facts. The conversation between us is dealing with your bully tactics about who and how comments should be made. What conversation is there to have with you? Your pretend PC master race of what? Great. Congrats. You built yourself a computer so that you can go around and protect the Xbox. Way to go chief.
“I have said my facts”
there is no such thing as my facts, there are facts and opinions. what you said was just pure rubbish.
“your bully tactics”
this is your words: Shut your mouth
you started it a**hole.
“protect the Xbox.”
when i protected it ? wut ? just show me when and where i defended that pile of garbage ? show me or gtfo
you don’t know s**t, you don’t have any idea what you’re taking about but you want to debate about something you can’t even understand, then you changed the subject when you didn’t have anything to say, pure and simple, you are a stupidest peasant i have ever seen.
I doubt they will go under

The dude is a facking poser. I posted below my PC pics running GTA 5 in 1080p @ 60FPS high settings and ask for him to post his rig.
Instead he posted some BS photo of GTA 5’s grass from Google images and didn’t even reply when I posted my rig below.
“The PC Masta Race” is a POS poser hiding his Xbot identity!
>Some BS Photo
You mean from my own personal steam screenshots? Funny how a google image search leads back to the fact the only person who ever posted that image before was me.
Stay mad, Sony shill :^)
It’s a Sonytard. Don’t expect logic or reasoning out of them. Just stuttering (Like their consoles framerate)
“The upgrade to win10 is free for win 7/8 users” Forgot that asterisk…*For one year.
You think M$FT is giving away Windows 10 out of the kindness of their own heart?
Like Tim Cook says, if somethings is “free”, “You’re not the customer, You’re the product”.
@The PC Master Race above…
To use that moniker and not know the motive behind M$FT giving W10 away for “free” shows you’re nothing but an Xbot in disguise.
I agree. However, M$FT along with Epic has abandoned PC for a long time, so I am skeptical of M$FT’s new found “passion” for PC gamers.
This is true. Especially with the advent of Steam Machines which were meant to alleviate the overhead associated with DirectX/Windows and bring better performance to PC gaming.
Now that M$FT is touting the DX12 and Windows 10 horn, seems Valve’s Steam Machines have faded into obscurity as M$FT is essentially doing what Valve meant to do in the first place. A shame really as I wanted Valve to eat away at Windows relevance to gamers. Oh well.
Steam machines can still take off, if they are ever truly released or the OS is ever finished. The great part about Steam Machines is that they’re basically consoles that you can upgrade. To a casual gamer that’s pretty much the best of both worlds.
Buuuuut, the problem is still with exclusive games. You get games like The Last of Us that only come to console and everyone wants it. Until Valve starts getting exclusives that everyone needs to play, consoles will always have the edge.
Valve will need to invest in some exclusives and I’m not sure that’s the direction they want to take the company, especially because it’s risky to up and change your business model when they’re raking in the money just being the middle-man distributor/ server maintenance experts.
Now that I think of it, I wonder if Valve’s SteamOS was just an elaborate ruse to get Microsoft to fix their sh*t. I mean, this DID force Microsoft to finally debug/ update DirectX, and that will be hugely beneficial for gamers as time goes on, and really all they needed to do was create some prototypes of a controller and Photoshop some SteamOS concepts. It could have just been an elaborate hoax!.
“I wonder if Valve’s SteamOS was just an elaborate ruse to get Microsoft to fix their sh*t. I mean, this DID force Microsoft to finally debug/ update DirectX”…That coupled with AMD’s Richard Huddy saying developers ever since 2011 wanted DirectX to “go away” because of the immense overhead (which eventually led to AMD’s Mantle/Vulkan)…I would say a combination of things got M$FT off their stagnant asses.
funny you bring up the “sparce” comment as you ignore the 8 month drought on a console with only two AAA exclusives since launch but, you know, you have this fall with the exact same line up as the last 5 years halo, fable, forza… awesome.
“1st party games”
“Tomb raider, Scalebound,Quantumbreak”
none of those are 1st party
“Xbox 1 is still the best place to play”
no, bad fps and 900p and medium settings etc are saying it’s not the best place.
1st party games but second party dev, Pony. They are published by MS. 900p? The order was only 800p and it also sucked. Was that for the players?…lol
yeah it’s still not called 1st party. why the F should i care about the order, when i can play project cars 1440p and 60fps with better graphics ? so no xbox is not the best place to play that game, you stupid F, this is a pc gaming site, i don’t care about your s**ty weaka** consoles
It’s 1920×800 but The Borders 1886 was all about graphics and nothing much else, with a linear scripted world that did nothing but send console gaming backwards.
It’s so cute when Sony shills show up on DSOG when their peasant cancer is equally hated here
Get lost Downgradestation 4 shills as well.
Thats exactly what the Witcher 3 looks like after the gfx nerf from all the pictures that were being compared recently. ;p
Consoles just dumb down everything ;/ I bet Uncharted 3(or is it 4 now?) would of looked that good on the PC.
Consoles are nothing but trash. They just drag back the industry.
Wow. 😛 Is that from Dying Light? Damn.
And this http://i.imgur.com/HgMyGAX.jpg
the ps4 distant trees remind me of child’s cartoons.
Only PC holds the industry back.
lol no :^)
There is no generation leap on PC and there is no games, two main problems.
Generation leap is important. Look at BF3 and BF4, how much better BF4 looks (on the same PC, of course). New consoles have 10x more power then previous ones and that’s important and that’s why we’re seeing new things now, but new GTX Titan or another high–end GPU will never be at least somewhat important for gaming because nobody cares about it.
Huge fragmentation in PC gaming holds industry back too. Developers can’t utilize each and every bit of horsepower in high–end PC GPUs, because they need to be sure that game will run on lower–end cards like GTX 750 Ti and so on.
Another huge thing is exclusive games. Look at Forza Horizon 2 or DRIVECLUB–it’s impossible to do the same on PC hardware. Look at The Order: 1488, why there is no such beautiful games on PC? Exclusives are driving industry forward, and PC is just holding it back.
PC is a machine for casual gamers to play Facebook games, things like Solitaire and ‘Press LMB to win YOBA games like Counter–Strike, but instead PC gamers are posing it like a gaming platform, which is simply wrong. Until it’s finally dead, I’m worried for the state of industry.
This is the most deluded post on here outside of a John Derp or Gimp Lover post. PC holding things back when low budget cards easily run rings around console setups? Hilarious.
Consoles are a mental illness.
These conversations would be so much better if we all met in person and carried firearms just in case we get a little angry.
Ahhh…the internet?…the only place where courage is fueled by trolls and trolls are fueled by energy drinks and high calorie snacks!
I don’t know…. If the deciding factor to shoot were to be the libraries and technical quality of the games, it would be unfair for console peasants…..
Then again, it would also be unfair in any way. Precision shooting does seem better than auto aim assist, specially because the later doesn’t exist in real life….
Hmmmmm, you’re right. It would be interesting to watch…..
PML Before the PS1 and Xbox started releasing games with anything close to decent graphics PC gamers were playing those games for at least FIVE YEARS! When the PS2 and Xbox came out they got games and graphics that PC players had seen years before and already completed.
Since then consoles have become more popular and devs have concentrated more on them for the easy (rip off) money (a console version of a game always costs more than the PC yet looks worse) which has meant development for PC games has become stale and crippled so that console owners don’t get upset at the difference in quality.
As soon as the PS4 and Xbox One were released they were OUTDATED and although we can get slightly better games for the next 5 years they will STILL hold pc’s back.
It’s consoles that are ruining the industry with their ridiculous lifespan and crappy low spec hardware so it’s also console gaming that should die 😛
Not really. PS1 was mind blowing back then.
And what hardware do you have? Just curious.
PS1 was mind blowing? With 5 year old pc games? Admittedly it had some ok exclusives but it was the start of gaming going backwards as devs don’t have to make better games for 5/6 years.
I have an over the top pc that can run games at 1440P ultra settings thanks
PS1 was mind blowing with 5 year old PC games? You were a deprived gamer then. Admittedly it had a few ok exclusive titles but as soon as the PS1 and Xbox hit gaming went stale as devs didn’t have to make a decent new game for 5 or 6 years because they were playing with the same stale tech.
I have an over the top spec that plays the latest games inc Witcher 3 and GTA V at 1440P everything maxed out and more fps that either of the top consoles.
Rubbish. I have Steam and Origin, I have games. I play games. i also like full stops.
The PC is a gaming platform… Just ask GTA V, Far Cry 4, Crysis 3 etc and a whole load more. the great thing about the PC is that you CAN have a low end card and still play a game, upgrade, then increase the settings.
Either way the Xbox and PS4, like it or not, are dumbed down computers.
But you’re missing 90% of gaming industry if you’re locking yourself to PC gaming.
The only thing is dumbed down is Steam, so noonish PC peasants would be able to play their casual games and would be able to press LMB to win. Like, really, there is no even party system available?
You are talking out your ass where to start, consoles have 10x the power of previous generations and that’s why we are seeing these things now?. So are you forgetting the small fact that the PC versions of years old third party games like Sleeping Dogs, Tomb Raider, Metro LL, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre Sequel and Saints Row have been ported to the super duper “next-gen” consoles yet every single one of these games STILL cannot match the graphics, resolution or performance of the years old PC versions?. Or PC titles like Shadow Warriors and Planetside2 also ported to the “next-gen” yet still look and run like sh1t compared to the years old PC versions?. We are just getting these features now because of the consoles?. Don’t talk out your a$$ console shill, PC gamers have been treated with Directx11 quality visuals and all the enhanced features it brought to games around 4 years before you ever seen a Directx11 quality game on console with the launch of XB1 or PS4. Also Battlefield 3 had the full PC experience with far, far better multiplayer , 60fps , DX11 visuals and was running @ 1080p or above before you got your gimped 1600x900p Battlefield 4 that lurches along betwen 60fps and 40fps constantly changing how responsive the controls are from minute to minute as well as horrific judder. It makes me dizzy the way it lurches around despite the fact it looks like ass.
It’s funny how you even believe your own sad bullsh1t thinking the console industry revolves around your console.
Huge fragmentation doesn’t hold anything back but you don’t know the first thing about this yet think you even sound believable. You know what causes stagnation and holds things back. You and gaming on console for 8 long years all because Sony or MS can’t make a profit from selling you console hardware so developers are stuck using the same hardware long after it’s been truly exhausted so resolution creeps lower and lower while frame rate that aimed for the already compromised 30fps also creeps lower and lower adding horrific amounts of lag to the controls so you are left playing juddering messes of games with frame rate trailing along as low as 12fps during busy scenes where responsive controls are needed most. If you read Eurogamer’s Face Off articles they call these console versions practically “unplayable” despite being a third party site filled with ignorant pad spackers like yourself.
Also what about The Order1886? You honestly think that’s impressive?. Slowly walking along dull, empty , linear corridors with 33% of the screen missing occasionally shooting at non existent enemy AI that’s so basic you can kill them stone dead by shooting them three times in the foot?. Or DriveClub a 30fps “racer”.
Sorry but I would worry for gaming if all we had was consoles with their mainstream casual cinematic sh1t that you are championing here.
Also PC fragmentation doesn’t stop games looking and running so much better on PC with responsive lag free 60fps gameplay?. Fragmentation didn’t hurt GTA5 for example click on the picture below if you are capable……
http://a.disquscdn.com/uploads/mediaembed/images/1968/6333/original.gif
Also lets talk about “exclusives” in the last few months PC has had ARMA3 expansion, Assetto Corsa , Total War Attila, Cities Skylines, Pillars of Eternity , Kerbal Space Program to name a few. All of these games are great and not cinematic shallow trash catering to lowest common denominator. Not to mention far better third party games, you know third party that makes up 99.999% of your library on console but far better on PC.
The hilarious thing is that little pad spackers like you will squeal about PC elitists but all the arrogance comes from you genuinely believing the games industry revolves around your console. There’s a reason why PC gets the most developer support of any platform. Or why already there is 40 games considered console exclusive to PS4 or XB1 but happen to have the definitive versions on……PC
i dont pc games to have these thing call ‘settings’ so if somebody has a less powerful system than another they can make adjustments to get better performance.
You serious? You really serious with the order? The order had to use letter boxing and capped a framerate at 30 FPS and was a rail shooter. It was beautiful for being used on an outdated platform (ps4) but it cannot compare to many many games on the PC, you just don’t know about those games because they don’t get the hype you so easily latch onto.
Im not saying they will not make any sacrifices at all, but it doesn’t make this comparison fair, comparing two very different scenes in each case with different time of day, LOD, distance view, etc. “Six month later” gameplay you referring to was actually one of the best visual gameplay I have ever seen, honestly. Again I am not saying there is no downgrade, but I could name almost any PS title with worse visuals than Uncharted will clearly have.
Not the best example^^
You do know that picture of Drake is not real right? It’s best case lighting, i.e perfect lighting setup as Naughty Dog said and no that’s not in-game or anything like what the game will look like.
Those E3 trailers are shown on high end PCs and then ended up with great downgrade. Consoles has always been about false advertising and hype. Hardware limitation will never bring that level of quality and detail.
Why dont you get lost PC shill douche bag. Isnt it time to go suck mommy’s teat again.
A sony shill posts on a PC Master Race website telling a community member to “Get lost”
Hilarious.
Why are these silly pad spackers hanging around this website and why don’t the mods ban them?. I come here to talk about PC gaming and to get away from ignorant console fantards. Did you hear what he said, PC holds gaming back and only owning a PC would shut you off to 90% of gaming?. Is he really that much of a dumb a*s?. I mean only owning a PC and no consoles would give you access to 95% of all gaming only missing out on a handful of “exclusives” and seeing as they are as dire as The Order 1886 I don’t think anyone would be missing much if they didn’t bother with consoles. I mean my WiiU and XB1 gather dust, I pulled the power adapters out the back of them as they hadn’t been used for so long and were just wasting power on standby
The PC gets the most developer support of any platform, it gets the most games, most varied and unique games as well as best looking/running games. The consoles are nearly 2 years old and already there is 40 so called console exclusives that are either XB1 exclusive or PS4 exclusive yet the PC happens to have the definitive versions so really if you were to only own one platform then PC gives you access to 95% of the whole gaming industry. Not to mention 30 years of gaming history via emulators.
How do arrogant little pad spackers find their way here to gloat about shallow , mainstrean , cinematic sh*t like The Order anyway? The Order????
Also you should read my post to him above as I really felt like I should tear him a new a$$hole while dismantling his bulls**t piece by piece.
Why do people always need to turn stuff like this into some pc vs consoles slugfest. I can enjoy both, and yes pc have higher graphics settings if you got proper hardware, but truth be told, when u play a few meters from the tv you aren’t going to see much difference. Also if the pc elitists would buy games instead of purating them, there would be more bug budget AAA games on the pc.
After seeing so many articles with Xbox owners wetting themselves about that massive increase, it ended up being for the PC instead.
I wonder what’s going to be funnier. The poor deluded xbox shills trying to claim it never happened or the poor deluded Sony shills who try come into the den of the Glorious PC Master Race to gloat and get destroyed.
We’re going to have so much fun.
As much as i hate fanboys but we need people like you to fight these racist sods to be honest.
Lol they hate our race because our e-peens.
Only thing worse then a console fanboy is a narcissistic arrogant PC elitist reknob like yourself. Go crawl back in your hole.
Stay mad, sony shill
7% LOL, we get that in a driver update.
Nvidia or AMD? 😛
I’m not sure how that percentage increase works if a game is locked at 30fps, lol. I guess they’re adding 2fps to the minimum* FPS?
if i am correct , DX 12 optimizes CPU more than gpu , so weaker CPUs will be the most benefited(of course there are a few gpu tech too) .Mostly , i think that would make better ports!
It is more like multi core CPUs that will benefit the most. DX is poorly optimized and uses mostly just one CPU core. There are more technical issues being improved but that one is a good one.
Oh my…This thread is gonna explode like AMD’s Mantle (Vulkan)…
Heh. Mantle didn’t explode – kind of the opposite. I sorta just evaporated. (what’s the opposite of explode? )
More like it morphed into DX12
More like it morphed into vulkan*
a little column A, a little column B
Implode?
if Xbox continues this path, Microsoft’s best bet is to actually use PC’s full potential and further the gap between PC and PS4. consoles are already way behind and with each year it gets worse. but whether Microsoft actually realizes that or not…
Exactly, both consoles are extremely weak. I find it funny with all those poor fanboys fighting over scraps, like bums fighting over a garbage bin.
yea and i am not sure whether we should be happy about it or sad. their weakness on one hand is making PC shine more, on the other hand companies will continue to hold back on PC thanks to consoles.
i just wish we could at least get back to the previous decade’s state, a time when console games actually were games suitable for controllers and consoles, not genres that actually are better on PC but are forced on consoles (RPG, Shooter etc). this is why everybody loves Nintendo. they still make games for consoles. they are not trying to steal from other platforms.
DX 12 on my GTX 680 omg i can’t wait !!!!!!! 300%+ performance in 3d mark and 50-60% in real games
hahaha xbots are soo done now 😀 now more magical cloud, no more magical DX12, no more wizards etc etc 😀 lol
Don’t forget the silky smooth 30FPS and Downgrades
Oh wait that’s also on PS4 so you are both equal in that aspect :^)
im happy for the increase, it runs kinda sh**ty on my pc at the moment 🙁
Good. Even with the new drivers, Rigs with AMD processors still have major framerate issues due to the bottlenecks. DX12 support should really open things up. Unless you have a 1.6ghz octo-core tied to garbage console hardware. Then you are screwed :^).
Poor console peasants left in the dust again with their medium settings versions. Pathetic as usual.
Everything suggest otherwise, still what exact bottlenecks are you referring to. DX12 actually prefer number of cores to IPC.
Your comments so lacking any valid points (I would call that pathetic rather than owning any type of HW really). HW you stated will be hugely benefiting on new DX!
Just ignore the troll. He’s using the “PC Master Race” moniker to defend the Xbone, an undercover Xbot in disguise.
Poor Josh. Left with a silky smooth 30FPS Sh*tstation poor and literally cannot defend it versus the PC. So he screams “Xbot” like the rest of the sonytards.
Oh look. Here is a screenshot with me running GTA V on V.High to Ultra with enhanced draw distance at 60FPS. Such an “xbot”, right?
Keep on wishing and crying about your “Sparse” (Like GTA on PS4’s Grass) line up, Loser :^)
Yawn. I have a gaming PC too and play GTA 5 at 1080p High Settings @ 60fps. You sound like a 5 year old. Go get laid chump. LMAO!
EDIT: Funny you don’t show your rig…Just some random screenshot you found on Google images. Yeah, “The PC Master Race” disguised as an Xbot!
Ya awesome “gaming” PC….. A picture of a sh**ty looking PC does not prove ANYTHING.
Mmmm…No cynical replies? Dead silence from the nameless/faceless troll who claims “PC Masta Race” without providing pics of your PC rigs…Just like I thought you are a POS poser.
Why do I need to post a pic of my Corsair X200 tower? Do you honestly think that proves anything other than I have a corsair X200 tower? From your photos, you need to cleen off the cheeto dust. All you prove is you have a tower. For all we know, you could be running integrated intel graphics.
Screenshots from your PC prove everything. Especially since fakers an easily be traced via google image search.
You lack logic yet again, Josh Moron :^)
Have you not played Project CARS? CPU bottlenecks galore on AMD Processors. Same with Witcher 3. Even GTA V has them. DX 12 should remedy it.
But I never said anything about garbage console hardware benefiting. AMD PC hardware will
lmao poor xbots, they all disappeared today.
Just leaves the Sony shills with their 30FPS, downgrades and no games posting here in PC Master City then. It’s so good to be on PC where there are games and not on PS4 where it’s sparse. :^)
It’s going to be interesting to see how this will pan out on PC. If we get so much performance boost it’s going to be happy hour all the time every day for long time ahead…
*reads through the comments* We really are at an all out war with each other.
F’ everyone and everything! Let’s fight about stupid sh*t!!! GRRRRRRRRRR!
it was obvious
Don’t forget the classic and the image that launched a billion Sonytard tears
Was going to build a gaming pc with an i5-4690k, but hearing about these multithreading improvements for dx12 makes me want to get an i7…
RFLMAO
This “sh**ty looking PC” is more proof than some random a** screenshot of GTA 5 from Google images…Nice defense…Duplicate account? Where’s your rig POS poser? LMAO
EDIT: 13 comments and 5 upvotes? LMAO yeah this is a duplicate account of that POS poser “The PC Masta Race” without a PC as PROOF! Kill yourself id!ot.
You have a PC tower. Wooooooooooooooooooow I’m so impressed you posted on a PC Master Race website with a PC tower
Not.
See you Sony shills are all the same. Once it comes to PC destroying your pathetic sh*tbrick console. You scream “Xbot” over and over because it’s so pathetic, it has no defence. All you can do is deflect. And even more hilarious, you barge into a community that you never posted in before to tell someone who’s been here over a year that they are an “Xbot”
I laugh at you, pathetic simpleton. Defend your 30FPS Pauperbrick more. it amuses me :^)
No where do you see a PS4 in my photos. Are you dyslexic? You do waaaay more talking then gaming nameless/faceless coward Xbot schill. Go get laid and simmer down a bit dipsh!t. Where’s your PC again? Oh yeah on Google images LMAO. Ciao!
Lost the argument. Hiding behind his PC to protect his POS4 and screaming “Google Images”. You are one of the most hilarious Sony shills yet since all your posts are about the POS4.
Reverse search my screenshots then. No wait, you are too stupid to do that.
You want to argue with someone? Argue with yourself in the mirror troll. You’re pathetic. Death by suicide is in order. LMAO
And of course, when the Sonytard gets completely BTFO. He resorts to insults. Hilarious.
Call me when your sh*tbrick console runs sleeping dogs at 60FPS :^)
Trolling aside…I wanted to show this…Do you honestly think Dreamcast could do this like a 6 gigaflop PS2?

Delusional Josh Moron now posting to defend the PS 240P after saying he’s not defending Sony. And he posted a slowdown ridden game bugging out because of its crash physics. Hilarious. Dreamcast had plenty of F1 games with destruction physics. And they were 640×480 as well Never mind the fact Daytona USA ran 640×480 at a solid 60FPS with more cars on track in bigger environments.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNuqMp6eemI
Just give up, loser. PS 240P was the worst console of the gen and POS4 also sucks. PC is the master race :^)
Wont even be 7% on xbone when all is said and done, the poor xbox kiddies or just fooling themselves and are in for a very unpleasant surprise.
Just like the POS4 kiddies wishing for that 50% MisterTiduxMedia said that was going to happen.
You are equally as pathetic as the xboners, loser :^)
Jeez, a 40% increase in performance means that something is massively wrong with DirectX. Thanks, Microsoft. 🙁
Yeah, I think it’s called monopoly. They do what they want.
I’m thinking it’s more sinister than that. What if they gimped DX11 performance intentionally in order to sell XBoxes? I mean, this is Microsoft – they have the money to debug, test, and optimize DX11, but it seems only half-baked, like they weren’t even trying.
The benefits of gimping DX11 are two fold: sell more XBox crap, plus they can THEN entice gamers to buy the new Windows to get DX12.
This whole thing smells fishy.
It’s strange to hear some kind of conspiracy theory from you, but whatever, I think DX10 and DX11 were created with only one purpose: to sell Vista and 7. So, yeah, they weren’t even trying.
Microsoft interests shifted from PC gaming to console gaming probably around 10 years ago, and everything that doesn’t benefit Xbox gaming has no interest to them.
They trying to push DX12 because X1 is kind of a outsider on console market, AND because they know that Vulcan is coming. If not that, I think DX12 would be the same crap as DX10.
We were discussing this below. Some surmise that DX12 is Microsoft’s answer to the Steam Machine. It’s plausible.
And look, it’s not a conspiracy theory – If I told you that some companies insert code that completely break a game if you use it on hardware it wasn’t intended to be on you may call me crazy, but it’s real: DRM.
I’m just theorizing. The truth likely lies as a combination of many different factors. Calling it a ‘conspiracy theory’ is nothing more than an attempt undermine the discussion or analysis. In this case you’re trying to make it personal, which is weird – what does any of this have to do with me? Focus, man.
I think Steam Machines (as a piece of hardware) will have different competitors. Vulcan will work under every system except probably consoles (Windows, Linux, tablets, phones, etc.). They building something really great, and IF it turns out well, it will be a great competitor to DX12.
I’m not sure what to say more about DX11. From a gamer point of view, it wasn’t groundbreaking. But I don’t think they gimped it intentionally, they just wanted to sell Windows 7 and throw a bone to PC gamers (same as with DX10), and it worked out splendidly.
With their resources they could do so much more, but this “so much more” won’t give them money. They even built a console cheaper than PS4, and the last time I checked Microsoft didn’t had any financial problems (unlike Sony).
Oh look. More screaming “Xbot” because I insulted your precious sh*tstation. PC Gamers know both are garbage.
But then that just proves you are a Sony shill :^)
GOW 2 and GT 4’s only innovations were using DVD format. They ran at half the resolution of most Dreamcast games. I’m pretty sure the DC could have done it at 640×480, Josh Moron :^)
I’m not sure how DX12 is going to benefit older CPU’s. I have a Q9550, but I’m pretty sure I can’t install Windows 8 or 10 because I need the new BIOS standard, which is impossible with my LGA 775 socket motherboard.
Really? Thank you – I need to do some more research! I tried to put Windows 8 on my dad’s computer and it wouldn’t let me, but I put it on my brother in-law’s UEFI-based computer and it worked just fine.
Ha! Thanks again – that is probably exactly the problem – I was trying to install using a flash drive (I build computers but I stopped using DVD drives in my builds).
Maybe you could tell me – would I be able to install Win8 using a USB3 PCI board? My motherboard doesn’t support USB 3 natively.
Oh, uh… hmm. Then looks like I’ll need to research some more. Thanks anyway 🙂
Two broken links and that “B-B-BUH UR AN XBOT” deflection alongside saying “I’M DONE REPLYING” because you know you have been destroyed. Such a boring and typical sonytard defence.
Josh Moron you are giving me ample excuses to post my PC Screenshots again :^)
So stupid you forgot where you were replying, Josh Moron. I’ll run out of screenshots soon
All I see in the comment section is a bunch of stupid kids fighting over whose gaming platform is better… I mean seriously, get over that childish BS.
