Performance improvements through software upgrades
Hi, I am thinking of improving the performance of my 981 Boxster S and wondered if anyone has any experience of having a software upgrade done (on any naturally aspirated modern 6 cylinder Porsche)? In particular I am thinking of DMS and Superchips (and any others you may have tried).

This makes no sense to me, even from the point of view of a PC user.
A game is released, you update your driver, your frame rates increase. You wait twelve months, update your drivers again. (Hopefully you won’t wait that long, but for arguments sake..) and yet again, the performance increases even more.
All this is is a software change. Improving the way in which the GPU handles information with various new methods and optimisations... How come consoles don’t do the same? There’s really no reason why they shouldn’t.

Say you were running a 780 when GTAV came out. You got decent frames. But now, with the amount that the drivers have improved and optimized things since then, you’d be getting way better frames with the same card and game than release. GTAV on an Xbox or PS4 however would have the same (extra ****ty, not even just plain ****ty) performance as when it was released ages ago.
Is there a proper reason for this?
