AMD’s shiny new API is out in the wild, already developers such as DICE are embracing Mantle and users who’ve opted for certain AMD GPU’s are taking advantage of the performance gains. But let’s say you’re torn between buying an AMD Radeon GPU or one of Nvidia’s Geforce lines – should Mantle be a.

Let’s face it, while the bleeding edge cards are certainly the most impressive in performance, the £150 to £250 pounds market segment is generally the one representing the best value to gamer’s. Both AMD and Nvidia are hard at working to win the hearts and minds of gamer’s who’re looking for an upgrade to.

For PC owners, DirectX 12’s release next year will solve a long running issue with PC gaming – lack of a low level GPU access via the API. Sure, right now we’ve got AMD’s awesome Mantle API, but there are developers who’re a little cautious to stray away from the well supported DirectX API..

AMD have been busy with promotion of their Mantle API, which isn’t surprising given the time and money they’ve invested in it. Developers such as DICE have already jumped on the technology, and as AMD have pointed out currently they’re the only choice when it comes to a low level API. But that’s going.

The news of Microsoft’s new API has spread around the internet rather quickly, and despite there still being a little confusion regarding the API it’s going to be great news for PC gamer’s. In theory, it should provide huge reductions in the overheads which have long been associated with PC gaming, allowing a more.

Update: AMD have commented on the reason for delay, and have said “The cause of the delay is due to EA’s recent decision to halt game development in favor of bug stomping.” While disappointing, at least they’re delaying for a good cause. Original Story: AMD’s new API (Application Programming Interface) known as Mantle has been.

AMD have had a busy few days, they have just announced their new range of GPU’s, including the R9 290x (which is a 5TFLOP monster), and have also let the world know about Mantle. AMD’s Mantle API is a newly developed, open API which in theory proves drastically improved performance over the more traditional.

AMD have been very busy recently, not only have they just unveiled their new Mantle API, but they have been of course instrumental in helping both Sony and Microsoft with their next generation consoles. But they haven’t been sitting idly by and letting Nvidia dominant the discrete PC GPU market. AMD have began announcing.
