Xbox One GPU speed increased since E3, says Microsoft

So the standings:

PS4 still has better RAM (faster and 500mb more theoretically) better GPU (and faster), smaller, no power brick. Cost: $400.

Xb1 is bigger, still has a power brick, controller still uses AA batteries, won't include headset, less power. Cost: $500.

Chose for yourselves

it will not overheat, it is designed to work for 10 years, but 53 really? why even bother telling us.

As long as the thing doesn't overheat and get something similar to the RROD.

When you do the actual math that's not much of a difference of any real note. In fact since most all the games for launch were already well into development it's not going to make any difference at all.

Developers getting used to using the actual systems will have a far more substantial impact. This is just MS trying to use lines like "Billions of transistors" to puff things up to look bigger then they are.

since the spybot/ps4 are the same ms move first with 53mhz now sony will up that....

For the consoles players who aren't familiar with overclocking 53mhz is basically nothing... effect that will have on frame rate or heat output is negligible.

Honestly not really news worthy, though a vauge preformance boost is good, even though our eyes would never be able to tell the difference. Why gamespot would even report on this, no clue. Though its nice to see so many PS4 fans buzzing obsenities toward MS, really wouldnt be an xbox one article without them... as they make up around 80% of comments these days, dont you have Last of Us to go rage that it got an 8.0 or something? CAUSE I WAS OUTRAGED AT THAT! and im not even a big play station fan lol.

Back on the note of the 53mHz thing, nice they are tweaking it but really? 53mHz? Not that big of a deal.

Seems like history is repeating itself yet again. Last generation they said the same things about the PS3 . That it was going to be more powerful than the 360. That the specs was superior to the rival console. Come on guys,Sony is just as guilty with there PR 7gb reserved for gaming anyone? and we know how that turned out. Far to many people underestimating the X1 and the horses are not even out the gate yet.

"This is the time where we've gone from the theory of how the hardware works--what do we think the yield is going to look like, what is the thermal envelope, how do things come together--to really having them in our hands. That's the time where you start tweaking the knobs. Either your theory was right dead on, or you were a little too conservative, or you were a little too aggressive. It's actually been really good news for us," WTF are you talking about dude?

Is this some sort of fail PR stunt from M$?

"Yo guise. Guise! We jacked the GPU speed by 53MHz! Sick aye?! ....Guise?"

The truth is that a 54MHz increase would have meant RROD. So I'm assuming a 853MHz clock is the absolute limit they can push it?

@fazilchik Ya. Forget all this argueing just buy both. I couldn't figure if i wanted an audi or bmw. So I said why not have the best of both worlds.

53hz more will not cause overheating. The Xbox One has a giant heat sink, and I wouldn't be surprised if Microsoft planned this from the beginning just to go all "hohey it only gets better."

53 mhz bump is nothing

lol@kids on here thinking they can run a company better than ms or sony. if you guys know so much, how about giving them a call and tell them that youll lend them your superior knowledge for a price?

53mhz of overclocking putting another RROD at risk just for a pissing mhz contest.............

ps4 looks like a dirty eraser.

53mhz closer to RROD. Fool me once.....

It is crazy that there are so many negative post thinking a 53MHz bump to the GPU speed is a bad thing. If would be a negative thing if it was a decrease in speed. I don't know if you don't it or not but programmers love more power. They also love it when they are getting more power than what they thought they were getting at first. This is not a negative as fanboys would like to think. This is a postive.

Is this new things effect the graphics or not?
