"The current reservation provides strong isolation between the title and the system and simplifies game development - strong isolation means that the system workloads, which are variable, won't perturb the performance of the game rendering. In the future, we plan to open up more options to developers to access this GPU reservation time while maintaining full system functionality."
Nothing about being reduced over time and nothing about not getting the full reservation like brad Implies. Oh thats right brads the guy who posts on fudgaf
If you can read that and think the reservation is going away, I don't know what to tell you. Devs will never get access to more than what is left over after "maintaining full system functionality". The quote doesn't even confirm a reduction, just "more options" which could mean as little as more customizable use of the system level Kinect capabilities.
Many members of B3D post or posted at Gaf; Rangers, Reiko, eastmen, Allnets, etc. Ranger still posts many useful pieces of sales info from there. I understand if you don't like it, lots of people banned from there lash out.

All he is saying is that when they have sufficient samples of actual game code they be able to fine tune the timing reservation. I'm sure they gave themselves plenty of overhead to facilitate any tweaking that may need to be done.
There's no way to know what Respawn might be doing. As time goes on, the system software will be refined to greater exploit the platform functionality just as the applications developed for it will. Getting the UI running smooth was obviously a significant undertaking and I would assume the highest priority. It seems like common sense to give yourself some resource headroom to ensure you don't have to go back and manually tweak the functionality if you hit a snag.
I will take goosens statement as is and not draw further conclusions.
well that could explain cod not hitting 1080p, I also heard the first round go of games only could code for the original specs and not the upclocks. its obviously on a deep deep level so its hard to really be specific.
If that's what you were doing that would be fine, but you are drawing conclusions, ones specifically ruled out by Goosen's statement.
The 10% reservation is not that important in a resolution perspective. The Xbox One is very capable console system, with fixed function units, high memory bandwidth and a very fast cache system. Probably 900p-1080p will be the standard nativ resolution.
But it doesn't really, the difference between 720P and 1080P is 2.25x the pixels, bandwidth and memory usage, a 8% up clock or 10% reservation won't change that.
Again you are making the assumptions. More power will be tapped. Its possible, not impossible and ill stand by goosens statement. Im not going to pretend to know the inner workings of how the gpu reservations work. That is all.

Goosen didn't say the 10% will be available to devs later, he said it's possible that reservation may eventually be reduced to some degree.

here is what goosen said

So you know what the options are and you know it wont be the full reservation?
