Microsoft gets caught using high end PC's for their Demos.

It seems Microsoft have found a way to fall even father in the esteem of the consumer now as Pics have been taken of Xbox One games running on Nvidia's Gtx GPU''s which is either a Gtx780 or a Gtx Titan which are, of course far more powerful than the AMD processor used in the One. Mind, this is a common practice amoung Devs so labeling Microsoft as the Devil for doing this would be kignd of silly. However what is worse is that they seem to have been caught using AMD's competitors and not theirs which I cant imagine will go down well for them as now there own Processing provider is livid. Didn't think Microsoft coul dig themselves father in this PR hole they digging for themselves. Edit: Might add to this as news come's out as Microsoft and Sony seem to be desperately tryin to beat each other to the punch with this new can of worms they have opened for themselves.

  • And take a look at this. They didn't run PS4 demos on PCs. This is why I think that the Xbox One will have problems at launch JUST like the 360 did with the RRoD, just worse. There are also rumors going around that the eSRAM being tacked on to all the One processors were produced with a very high failure rate to keep up with the slower DDR3 RAM. Coupled with there being no actual gameplay seen on an Xbox One yet, and the Battlefield 3 reveal going terribly, though I'm not sure if that is a seprate event. I think that Microsoft hasn't shown it on a real system because the rig is very unstable.

    • I would say this would be a story if this were E3 2014.

      • You clowns need to read the update on that Article: [quote]Update: Several Xbox One developers have come out and confirmed that their titles were most assuredly running on actual Xbox One dev kits. Apparently, only a single title: Lococycle, was running on a PC because it had not been ported to Xbox One yet, and the decision was made by the dev team, not Microsoft.[/quote] Shitty journalism is shitty.

        • Sony was using PS4 devkits. Pic related, a game crashed at E3 and brought up this screen.

          • Isn't this common practice, especially when they probably only have prototype consoles assembled so far?

            • Titans? Ojesus. That's a pretty big leap. Hopefully that link that guy found is correct. Ryse did look really awsome graphically.

              • Until someone actually get a picture of this said 700 series card I call BS. Its a DEV kit and looks like one. Now perhaps showing a windows 7 desktop probably isnt good but it isnt that big of a deal like everyone is making it out to be.

                  • Using pc's to demo stuff- fairly common practice Using nivida gtx when the console has amd- lolz The pr shit storm surronding the xbox one its self is enough to severely hurt this console.

                    1) Look at Sony 2) I doubt AMD will have finished parts 3) It means nothing, because graphically games will be identical 4) XB1 software is running in virtual machine, takes away performance. XB1 games will take advantage of all 8 cores, so there is a deficiency that must be filled. 5) Games are still in development, so may well not be fully optimised. Only option would be to brute force things. 6) Look at Sony. 7) Look at Sony. 8) Since when were/why AMD livid? Incredibly bias "argument" from the circle of sony jerkoffs. Go home.
