I'm just airing caution and will believe anything once I see it.
Then google it

Or get it yourself and see the performance differences, there are plenty

I remember when Microsoft paid Crytek to put 'DirectX 10 features' into Crysis. Turns out you could just enable them in DX9 through a few commands. All they did was gimp DX9. DX11 wasn't exactly the most amazing release from microsoft either.Then google it

I'm going to stay skeptical until games that aren't being used as a flagship for DX12 are out. I'm more excited about Vulkan and what that will bring to the table. It was a shame about Mantle but I hope it really wasn't in vain.
This hype is doing good for AMD it seems, Fury and Fury X are starting to shift units again. I've been eying up a fury X(or 2) and they've appeared to really shoot off shelves these last two weeks.

Without Mantle Vulkan wouldn't have been possible. Mantle provided the base for Vulkan.
Yeah Vulkan is basically Mantle but modified afaik. Since mantle was basically given to Khronos.
SPS, do you know if DX12 is somewhat using any parts of Mantle? Or something along those lines? Figured you would know since your in the industry and deal with APIs all the tiem![]()
No idea tbh, it's not something I've looked into. I only know that about Vulkan because they said it in the GDC video this year.
Ah ok well was just curious if you knew something we didn't![]()
lol, even if he did he's be NDA'd up to his eyeballs dude![]()
Yup, exactly lol.
I know. I meant I was hoping Vulkan will do well so that Mantle was more than just a wakeup call for DX12.Without Mantle Vulkan wouldn't have been possible. Mantle provided the base for Vulkan.
