E3: Microsoft again under fire - TechSweden.org

Microsoft showed off the Xbox One games – running on Windows 7 with NVIDIA GTX card

Microsoft has had a rough start to say the least on the new console generation . After the scathing criticism against the lack spelfokusen and unforgiving DRM protection in Xbox One, totally lemming software giant for good publicity.

At E3, the trend reversed and charmed the world. A step in this was that most of the player base was set up where players and the press for the first time would get to try the new console and firsthand experience both the power and the new controller. And certainly impressed with the new console! The graphics were dazzling, controls felt tight, and the games flowed in an exemplary manner:

The problem was that the screens were not connected to Xbox One, without a full-fledged gaming -PC. Microsoft hireling was discovered in connection with one of the games crashed and returned to the desk.

PC in question was powered by an Intel LGA2011 CPU, which at least can be a Core i7-3820, and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 700 graphics card, which may have been at least a GeForce GTX 770.

The demonstrations running on the PC, instead for the console games are made, nothing is new, but is a method used by many game developers today. Partly because the games will look as good as possible, but also to development systems are often not stable enough so far in advance. However, it is remarkable that the components of the computers were not around to resemble those that will sit in the new console. Additional strangely becomes that Microsoft chooses an NVIDIA card for Xbox One will use a modified AMD GPU.

The icing on the cake as the user on various forums noticed that the computers also did not run Windows 8, but they used out of Windows 7. Thus it can be said that not even Microsoft themselves think that Windows 8 is suitable for gaming, but agrees to the amount of users continue to use the previous operating system.
