Xbox Series X: What You Can Expect From the Next Generation of Gaming (12TF, RDNA2 & Zen 2, Hardware Raytracing, Variable Rate Shading) OFFICIAL SPECS
- Thread starter Spectromixer

I'm wondering if the remaining two Turing features will make the cut for RDNA2: mesh shaders and sampler feedback. Both will be released in DX with Win10 2004 but it's a bit weird to not see them mentioned by MS so far, especially considering that both features are supposedly fairly straight forward to implement in h/w.
Matt just confirmed it (as he has many other things before).
Yeah this seems to be the case
shouldnt be a hard choice for third parties but it will probably take them months to decide if they want to bleed a few more dollars out of people transitioning to next gen for upgrade fees like what happened in the last gen transition

I think 500 for both, and ms will justify the lose to shareholders by using gold/gamepass.
No developer work required for improved resolution? Is this something like the Heutchy method but for Xbox One games?
Thanks Matt!
I know you probably won't be able to answer this, but is Sony planning anything anytime soon for the PS5? Would be nice to have both specs and see some next-gen games.
I guess all those patents regarding AI and smart upscalling applied on old game graphics are coming to fruition then.
I imagine even that CDPR tweet was part of their marketing deal. Nothing untoward about it. Just a standard thing.
"We will tweet something about your console. A specific feature if you like, when you do a new media thing".
I'd expect nothing less from a proper partnership agreement.
I'm not hardwa savy,so my question is games like red dead redemption 2 if the developer wanted to they can add ray tracing and better graphic enhancements,or like fallout 4 which still is choppy on xbox one x will run smoother now?
This is why it's a pain RDNA2 isn't out yet, it's going to be fun to see it's features & RT performance.
He's right, everyone. We'll be delivering our own and others' PS5 upgrades in Death Stranding.
All these games playable day one all on gamepass that I know of. Smart delivery will be a killer new feature.

Yes true. I'm preparing to swap my CPU as well.
But what i meant was that "4 times" jump based on the original Xbox One's CPU, isn't that high of a jump compared to the rest. DF suspected 7 times the CPU jump.
Wonder what the clock speeds are.
Edit: Now it sounds like that i'm not in a hurry to swap CPU, maybe only SSD's and GPU. My i7 5930k @4.3ghz is still a beast in benchmarks. wonder how long it will hold up. Kinda strange, i usually build a complete new system based on the new console specs. Might be the first gen i incrementally upgrade instead.

Since the Backwards Compatibility team is handling those, it probably is.
Basically, but they probably can't call it Play Anywhere, because that would include PC, as well.
No.
It's actually more powerful than a 2080 Super, and has a much newer and efficient architecture (RDNA 2.0).
I though as much after what Ubisoft said but nice to have confirmation.
Smart Delivery is a product of the eco system Xbox are seemingly forcing on publishers, Every game must run on every xbox no platform exclusives so it makes sense to only pay for the game once as the buyer does not choose a console to buy it on they choose to buy the xbox family game. This will 100% not be the same on PS5.
How am I going to fit this on the shelf under my TV?
E: Even on it's side is twice as thicc as an OG Xbox One

So now it's really up to Sony. MS has pretty much given all they can give for now, except CPU and SSD details.
Hopefully Sony brings an end to this silence soon. Because like anyone else here I really want to see what they have in store for us. And will they go cheaper (because they might be slightly inferior) or will it be the same price? At the end of the day a cheaper system is only better for my wallet, haha. The wait continues.

But that'll not be first party stuff right? If they're only making PS5 versions of games and not cross gen games it's more for the publishers who want to use it?
I'm telling you now that 9.2TF might be best case scenario. Whether it's RDNA1 or 2, the chance of getting retail machine that is expected put out 2GHz of sustained GPU clock seems too optimistic to me.
I have a PC friend who thinks these specs are bloated and just lies because of the costs and size of the Xbox SX.
there really isnt a good case for 30fps, but wouldnt be shocked if some devs still do it. my hope is a majority of devs do 60fps, or atleast 60fps modes.
Because Xbox Series X is their flagship console. Every game shown (in trailers, during press events, during public events, etc.) will run on it. But it won't be the console which will sell the most.
Now, they want that everyone think about how amazing Xbox Series X is. Then, when they will reveal the price (in June, probably), they will say something like "you don't want to pay $499 for a next-gen console? We have another solution for you: Xbox Series S. With it, next-gen is available for only $299!"
If they have announced Xbox Series S first, the people thirsty for next-gen announcements (so us, hardcore gamers, and journalists) would be disappointed, because they would say something like "8 TF for a next-gen console? 1440p in 2020?"
Smart Delivery is not mandated. A publisher can sell separate SX and One SKUs.
Just woke up and it's a Pretty great confirmation after running around in circles for months. It really never made any sense not to be after everything pointing to it. MS also lack of need of clarifying when every site was reporting because if it was different would been a huge issue of losing control of the message that I had extreme doubts.
Don't expect that. Since casual gamers [vast majority of gamers] don't care, devs will also don't care much about high framerate. MS 1st party may care for high framerate in some way since their early games will all have to run on base Xbox One, and Zen2 will stomp all over Jaguar.
The most visually spectacular Series X game is Hellblade 2, which was marketed in letterboxed 4K at 24fps.
He has to remember that, unlike PC parts manufacturers, Microsoft is not interested in earning money from the hardware. They want the money from the software.
PC parts manufacturers sell their items for a profit.
Also, it is possible that Microsoft (and Sony) are absorbing some of the cost.
