    Mantle sparking some competition - DirectX & OpenGL getting Low-level Access

    I think, very likely mantle is moving towards a compelling SDK. Btw, something like the following is quite interesting too. :) http://www.pcworld.com/article/2101620/amd-boosts-android-on-windows-pcs-and-tablets-powered-by-its-chips.html

    Mantle sparking some competition - DirectX & OpenGL getting Low-level Access

    In my opinion, Microsoft has to invest significantly in AMD.

    Mantle sparking some competition - DirectX & OpenGL getting Low-level Access

    I don't deny what you listed here. But clearly, you didn't see what I am seeing. Game producers may not have a significant interest in porting their games to PC with mantle. However, they will have a HUGH interest in using mantle to port their games to a different OS platform, such as Android...

    Mantle sparking some competition - DirectX & OpenGL getting Low-level Access

    Plus, don't bet on Microsoft's execution. It will most likely fail miserably. This is not due to its engineers, but its inefficient corporation structures.

    Mantle sparking some competition - DirectX & OpenGL getting Low-level Access

    I don't believe this is going to be a trivial process for Direct3D and OpenGL to adapt to low level APIs. 1. If it can be done easily, it would have been done a long time ago. 2. Compromising between old API and new API structures would not result into the best performance, design, efficiency...

    Does the 750 Ti spell doom for AMD?

    Trouble? Yes. Doom? No. From 750Ti's benchmarks, Maxwell is a good and efficient architecture. It will be interesting to see how well it scales. AMD has current problems with GPU supply, once that is sorted out and it will, AMD's GPU will have some competitions with NVIDIA's GPU at...

    Official Nvidia Maxwell slides

    I am very impressed with these numbers, especially if they are achieved with 28nm.

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    Microsoft could investigate some money in AMD to integrate/replace DirectX with Mantle. This would stop/delay Mantle's spread to linux, leading to a win-win-win situation for MS, AMD and consumers.

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    There are few articles online describing the similarities between console APIs and mantle APIs. I don't know whether these sources are correct. If you have more detailed information, please shed some light. "Feedback we’ve gotten from other sources continues to suggest that...

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    It is not a trivial job for sure. BTW, are you implying that it is easier for console games to be ported using DirectX rather than using Mantle?

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    Simple, because at this moment, DirectX still has 99.99% personal PC market, and AMD GCN gpu has < 25% video card market share. Plus nobody can even accurately predict a future beyond 3 months.

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    Good point gotnorice. The game coverage is one of the keys things to make mantle successful. Mantle made console porting easier. Does that mean all console ports will use mantle? If mantle is open and popular, why not? If mantle is limited, then no and why throw extra money on unnecessary...

    from what it looks like, Is Mantle a game changer to you?

    I think Nvidia made a strategic mistake to give AMD 100% of the cur/next generation home entertainment market. That allows AMD to come up with a very disruptive product such as Mantle. Nvidia didn't think outside of the box and had their mind too stuck with the conventional x86 + Windows +...

    Big Price Cuts for GeForce GTX 780 & 770 Tomorrow, GTX 780 Ti Coming 11-7

    This price cut is expected. Now, AMD needs to bring out R9 290@$399 to expose Nvidia's lack of competitiveness around that price point. It would be a disappointment if R9 290 > $430, as the custom cooling versions would be ~470 which would be within the GTX780's price range.
