Xbox One’s Driver Update To Bring 10% Performance Boost

NeoGAF member and industry insider thuway is back with more information, especially clarifying the Xbox One driver update mentioned earlier this week. According to thuway, it seems that a 10 percent performance boost should be available at the very least.
On being asked whether this update would allow for games like, say, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag to run at 1080p rather than 900p on the Xbox One, thuway tweeted, “@bravedwarf I can’t say anything about that, but I’ve heard 10% performance boost should be on tap.”
Considering that most hardware receive device drivers to improve performance down the line, this seems reasonable. To see one coming so soon after the console’s release is intriguing though. How much it will affect performance and whether it will make things such as 60 FPS more stable or higher resolutions possible is something we’ll have to wait to confirm.
