Gaming Blend have uncovered the fact that Microsoft were using PCs with Windows 7 to run their games at E3. It turns out that they weren’t even using their own dev kits to run the game, with Julian Rignall from US Gamers saying that the PCs were Hewlett Packard branded desktops. The Xbox One is supposed to run on an AMD GPU, but the ones running at E3 are purportedly powered by Nvidia cards.
Considering the fact that Microsoft had clearly stated that all games were running on “comparable dev kit specs” to the Xbox One, it is puzzling that Microsoft have gone with hardware entirely different to the XBONE, let alone not trusting their own dev kits. The Xbox One’s proposed GPU is comparable to a mid-range Radeon 7790, but the cards they were using at E3, GTX 780s, are more powerful. Can Microsoft really claim that they are giving an accurate representation of what the final games look like?
Not sure if you guys find this news worthy, but I posted it here anyways To be honest, nothing really surprises me at this point with Microsoft I even heard that they are sending people out to various BestBuys to convince the people who are there to play Nintendos E3 Game Demos to wait for the Xbone instead... -.-
