Chacal Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 hello folks , The NEW DCS 2.0 will have the option to run with AMD Mantle ? http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/news/view/bf4-mantle-live/ :thumbup: .

outlawal2 Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 Mostly because it is a proprietary "standard" (not even a standard at this point) and only usable for AMD.. ED is a small company and have to focus on coding keeping the "Biggest bang for the buck" mantra firmly in view.. Besides, nearly all of the benefits of MANTLE will be realized with Microsoft's DirectX 12 and that API can be used with all hardware, not just AMD... MANTLE in DCS.. Is not happening...

Arrowhead Posted February 19, 2015 Posted February 19, 2015 No. Mantle is a propriety marketing gimmick to sell AMD video cards. AMD had to pay Dice $8 million to get on board with AMD otherwise, it would have never been adopted by them. http://bf4central.com/2013/10/amdamd-paid-ea-5-million-battlefield-4-deal/ As was said, and just to reaffirm, DX12 will render Mantle moot anyways.

Mustang Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 On the subject of AMD and drivers, this looks like good news for us http://www.tweaktown.com/news/43680/amd-hiring-cpu-performance-engineer-optimize-gpu-drivers/index.html
SkateZilla Posted February 26, 2015 Posted February 26, 2015 Mantle is limited to AMD only, so its unlikely to happen. DX12 is going to turn tides, as its so complicated and low level that it will allow AMD and nVidia GPUs to work together in rendering the same scenes.
