"Turn 10 Studios has already ported their Xbox One launch title Forza Motorsport 5 to DirectX 12, using a four man team that took four months to get the game running on an PC using NVIDIA graphics at 60 FPS; Xbox One will see a significant performance boost for games using DirectX 12 as well.

Wonder why a Xbone (AMD) launch title uses a Nvidia GPU to test the DX12, must be as they had the drivers ready as stated in one of todays slides/reviews.

Turns out the GPU was a Titan Black.

AMD Explains Why Mantle Doesn't Work on Xbox One

Not seen that before but then again I do not enter mantle threads.

I can post what I like in this thread as I made it and any other (within rules) and IMO it was relevant to the convo at that time in each thread.

Was news to me and kind of proves mantle was never going to take over the world never mind ever be on the 2 consoles.

A lot more sense then the nonsense wall of text you copy/paste from search engines results Charlie.

MS same as with Halo and Alan Wake will tie it to the Xbone for a long time if they ever give it to PC but as its the 1st DX12 port they may do so as its good publicity.
