Microsoft 'improves' Xbox One GPU clock speed
Speaking on the latest Major Nelson podcast, Whitten outlined a number of changes to the system as it "gets close to the final performance envelope".
"This is the thing I think people are going to see as we get into Gamescom and people get their first look at new things since E3," he said. "This is the time where developers have the final dev kits in their hands, they're really working closely with us on how things have come together. There's some things that have really started to come together quite well."
A mixture of optimisation software and initial conservative estimates has meant the GPU can reach 853mhz - effectively allowing developers to put more demand on the system.
"Since E3, an example is we've dropped in what we internally call our mono driver. It's our graphics driver that really is 100 per cent optimised for the Xbox One hardware," Whitten said.
"You start with the base Direct-X driver, and then you take out all parts that don't look like Xbox One and you add in everything that really, really optimises that experience. Almost all of our content partners have picked it up now and I think it's made a really nice improvement."
He continued: "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, an example of that is we've tweaked up the clock speed on our GPU from 800mhz to 853mhz."
Xbox One will be available in 21 markets this November. The Xbox One price has been set at £425 / €499 / $499.

VEVO Lol at how you guys are actually debating whether or not getting a gaming console because the NSA is 'watching' you. If they really wanted to watch you, they can. Your cell phone, the computer you're using, the current gaming console you have, every electronic device that hooks to the internet, monitored. So if it freaks you out that much, why not just cut the power to your whole damn house rather than acting so paranoid.
I know. It's just a lame fanboy excuse.

tf2 still not getting it when NSA is watching me sleep
Well first off unless you leave your Xbox on when you sleep what you said is impossible. Due to the fact that it needs power. Also if your really that scared of the NSA watching you then you realize that your cellphone or your computer would be much better monitoring devices. So you don't have a computer with a webcam or a cellphone? Oh you do? Well then stop complaining.

You are far too paranoid.
Funny thing is, it's the damn truth.
NSA tracks cell phones too... we should get rid of them too right?
AMEN! People are so paranoid! Microsoft said they were against letting the government use their technology to spy on users (whether you believe that was a lie or not). And what do you guys have to hide from them anyway? Just do your drug deals and run your prostitution rings somewhere out of range of the Xbox
Preach. times hard out here for a player #

This is pretty good news for people buying an Xbox One. I wonder how much of a difference it will make when comparing it against the PS4.

Yeah, same. I love PC gaming so much, I think it is much better than console gaming.
I still prefer console gaming
