We have heard talk of secret sauce for the X1. Other than indie devs making a game for Sony, have we heard reports of the 50% more powerful PS4. (due to indie trying to kiss Sony's a$$) No third party devs have supported this claim.
Along with the power difference, we have also heard that/ the PS4 is easier to develop for. *Cough, Cough* Driveclub.
This article (wall of text) from one of my favorite sites. http://misterxmedia.livejournal.com/ explains Tiled Resources and how they make the X1 a unstoppable beast. There are some videos there that demonstrate this.

It also explains how Sonys console will be tapped out and the X1 will truly be a powerhouse for the next 10 years. It also raises the 4K gaming potential that's supports what MS said.
Flame if you want about the source but when this hits...................KABOOM!
I expected Microsoft to make the XBOX ONE extremely powerful, and I was right. DirectX 11.2 + Tiled Resources will obviously give it major graphical power. Just look at Ryse!! Amazing game visually and gameplay-wise as well!!
I don't care about that. It just doesn't look "realistic" to me. Still looks awesome, but i don't know. I think it's just all the reflections throwing me off.
I really think the car does because of the lighting.
Pretty much, something just looks off about it.
It looks way bright, just too bright. There should realistically be shadows casted near the tires and they're just not there. Forza's visual weaknesses really become apparent once you look at a static image.

X1's "DX11.X" is a superset of PC's "DX11.2". This is why AMD introduced it's Mantle APIs for the PC.
@FoxbatAlpha: Thread should be renamed "The Real power of 720p on the X1" lol
PS4:
The Order 1886: 900p
Battlefield 4: 720p
$149 - 7870 GHz Tahiti LE @ 1.1GHz = 3.38 TFLOPS
All games: 1080p
The order is not 900p
Is 1920x800 and is not upscale to 1080p like Ryse is it was a design choice because they are emulating a movie theater experience,The order was never say to be 1080p and latter lower like Ryse was.
And BF4 is not 720p on PS4.
By the way since when GPU alone work or do anything,so your need like $450 dollars more of hardware to make that work and don't forget windows.

Tiled resources ? This is all that he talks about and he isnt even explaining it well. Also the guy says that 1,2 tf Gpu can be compared to the AMD 3,2tf R280x which i calll BS on an unprecedented level . As if by magic X1 gpu will get close to a gpu with nearly 3x the performance
Hahhahahaha to funny mate... love how you use DriveClub, a game which is trying to reach new heights with connecting with everyone, with a weather system which will change depending on the time of day and the weather at that moment in time where ever in the world your racing in, just because it was delayed.
Yet your not to worry you get Forza 5, 1080p 60fps, but o yea i forget your'll just be racing bog standard races each time with no weather and no day/night cycle, because the system couldn't handle all that in 1080p 60fps, just like how ryse is only 900p because it just can't get to 1080p. good look with that one.
The one thing you say about it's all indie developers saying this, what do you think main stream developers are indie dev's are as good or if not better than a lot of them, they choose not to be ruled over by cooperates. they no what there talking about.
Hi there, I found this blog due to a couple interns working at my office branch who were arguing some of the points here.
As intriguing as a lot of these posts are, I find it interesting how much credence the 'flops' are being given to any given console.As a current employee of a certain multiplatform game developer that shall not be named, my department has basically been in charge of overseeing parity between console versions.
Just fyi, the numbers you have been comparing are a quite a bit off from the actual systems total output, at least with the latest devkit builds on both sides. As you know, the computation of floating point operations depends on the speed the processors can cycle through the code.
FYI the PS4 is currently clocking speeds up to around a 3.68 Tflop equivalent system. X1 one the other hand is running about 3.8 in the most recent kits.
Both will easily reach higher output as systems are optimized. For a while, the output was pretty much identical. X1 pulled ahead with the clock increases and the latest updates.
The hardware argument used around most of the net is completely moot, as it only considers the raw gpu specs, and not the APU as a whole, and both systems are running custom APU with key differences.
Take all this with a grain of salt, as who knows what update either system releases next will make 'X system' this much faster etc.
Like I said, both have room to grow. Also, software development on the PS4 is taking longer, which should be obvious from the recent delays. This was expected, though I'm sure PS4 will launch on schedule. X1 is doing great schedule wise.
Cheerio :)
This is interesting if true.
I think the only way we'll find out is on multiplatform game comparisons. Can't wait.

Multiplats will look identical. Also it is telling how little Sony knows about developer support based on the delays and software problems they are having. I knew that would carry over from their history. Sony has never been good at getting great developer tools in the hands of its devs. MSoft on the other hand are the best in the industry at this and last gen it showed and this gen it will show as well.
Only 720p version confirmed is Xbox One. PS4 is still unknown but it will probably be under 1080p.
Either you can't read or you are being willfully moronic. The article and the tweet were confirmed with Lars the head developer that the PS4 version is upscalled from 720p and locked at 60fps. The article also said that the X1 version has not been validated on its resolution.

Or MAYBE I am not a fucking moron who takes 2 month old articles about a fan tweet as fact. I am just in the know and have seen this 2 months ago in which it was then clarified that Lars did not say what resolution it ran at, he just said under 1080p and upscaled; JackFrags took this as 720p upscaled. It was then clarified that was not the case and the final resolution wasn't set yet.
Weeks later it was confirmed the Xbone version will be 720p.

Show a link then. Prove what you are saying otherwise you are just a "xxxxxxx moron" spouting off on a fan site hoping people take what you say as fact.
Show me a link please and if you do don't go full cow on me. Show me a link that doesn't twist words or merging different articles and words to suit your cause.
I just gave you a link that says the ps4 is 720p. Yet you say otherwise and don't even provide a link.
The funny thing is in my link they say ps4 is 720p but that XOne is unknown.
That news was shutdown as fast as it appear,it was running at higher than 720p and the final resolution would be say when the game was optimized.
This is even better. Key words here, "dev environment" aka high end PC not final production models. I wonder if DelayClub ran better on those "dev environments" as well???
We will see when the final production units are running it. Also where is the confirmation about X1 at 720p from him?
@PinkiePirate: you should really read instead of just trolling. There is a lot more at work here than just a GPU comparison. The way the X1 is using its tech is revolutionary. It is beyond a off the shelf chip like the PS4 uses. The PS4 doesn't have the hardware or the software to do tiled resources. Maybe next gen.

You are wasting your time.
Sony Fan only understands hardware numbers that Sony feeds them. They don't have any idea what APIs are or the super important connection of software and hardware.
1.8tflops is all they need to know.
Then Sony Fan goes into berserk mode when games get delayed because of poor development tools handed down by a hardware company to software developers. I am still waiting for KZ to get hit with the delay stick.

Yes! I think there is some more bombs to be dropped. Bad news for Sony and good news for MS! If Killzone: BallsFall gets delayed I have already seen some diehards say that the PS4 is a no go.
I can't lie, this is actually pretty interesting to me. I'm trying to understand it a bit more because it's sort of confusing. So tiled resources allow for less GPU power to obtain better textures for graphics? Something about the esram working in tandem with TIled resources so higher quality textures can produced with lower memory usage? Am I missing somthing, help me understand this better. I also want to know why this can't be done with the PS4. Very intrigued
Won't 4k games require like a billion terabytes of hard disc space?... Unless streamed from tha powah of ze clawd... which a lot of people (lemmings mostly) seem to be hyping over hardware specs.
We have heard talk of secret sauce for the X1. Other than indie devs making a game for Sony, have we heard reports of the 50% more powerful PS4. (due to indie trying to kiss Sony's a$$) No third party devs have supported this claim.

Sony should be worried. Maybe it's the reason they are so quiet and not talking about PS4 power anymore. Microsoft isn't saying anything. The games in the future will speak for themselves.

so powerful with that HD7770 hahah
Its a R9 280 hybrid. Or are you implying that it is running on PC in this pic? That is Sony's tactic.
Specs or not, these graphics are speaking for themselves.

Its all new to everyone! The other link says the PS4 cant add this through software because the hardware wasn't designed for it. Its over my head too in areas but that I do know. I'll check out your link...........
