i highly doubt they will patch dx12 support for win7.
DirectX and OpenGL move towards lower levels- Is Mantle dead in the water?

my thoughts exactly. Well hopefully windows 9 will be good.
i heard they want to go further down the road with their all in one OS idea. more tablet garbage!

SteamOS it is. RIP windows.
can't switch as long as my games are windows only.

unless they get released for steamOS, depends how much of on impact it makes.
the games i play won't get ported.

Well I guess there's one more option, tacking the minefield people call Wine.
It has worked with Blizzard games for me but not much else.

Wine is a rather good idea, another option would be to dual boot windows/SoS (not sure how was should shorten it).

yea i thought about that as well, but it's probably more of a pain in the arse than just sticking to win7.
I think Mantle will end up like AMD's Stream, it will die by the end of this year.
But that's okay, it's not a bad thing. It's better for everyone that this happens because it is going to be displaced by DirectX 12 and OpenGL's low level API's. In that regard Mantle did its job, it brought low level API performance to the top of everyone's minds and has pushed the industry in a new direction.
Everybody wins. Consumers get a graphics agnostic solution so you don't need an AMD graphics card, game developers get better performing product to sell us and graphics makers have a new feature to trumpet.
