Sniper Elite 3 and more titles coming.

We are proud to announce that we will be working closely with AMD to add Mantle support to our in-house game engine, Asura.

As Rebellion's CTO and Co-founder, Chris Kingsley explains, Asura powers all of our games – from – from advanced PC titles, to mobile and next-generation console games:

"It supports more platforms than almost any other engine we can think of and has important cutting edge features, including: tessellation, DirectX® 11 Compute Shaders, AMD Eyefinity technology, multi-GPU support and more."

"As one of Europe’s leading independent games studios we're dedicated to constantly pushing our technology as far as we can, and we're excited about the possibilities that Mantle brings to PC gaming and the industry as a whole."

Rebellion CEO and Creative Director, Jason Kingsley confirms that support for Mantle will be a crucial part of our plans for the next year:

"We believe that supporting Mantle will enable us to stay on the bleeding edge of PC gaming and ensure that we don’t leave any performance on the table when it comes to offering gamers amazing experiences."

"Our first Mantle supported title will of course be our flagship 2014 game, Sniper Elite 3. And although we can’t talk about them right now we can’t wait to reveal even more titles with Mantle support in the next year."

"Supporting Mantle in all our future PC titles will play a big part in what will be a huge year for Rebellion. 2013 has been a hugely exciting year for the studio, and 2014 is lining up to be even better."

Naiissss

Multiple developers getting behind mantle at this stage is the key to its survival and development. Lets hope that some more will follow!

Everyone is talking about getting fps boosts from it. While that is awesome, my reasons why i want mantle, is to effectively remove CPU bottlenecks for low to mid end CPU users. Would be awesome if i could throw another 290x into my fx 8320 and not fear a bottleneck in mantle supported titles.
 
The scaling of Mantle has been mentioned a lot. I think it's going to mean that most games using it will run on the 8320 as fast as the GPU can manage (which in turn will be higher because of the optimisations).

This.
 
Oh Matt Mantle will never succeed because Nvidia didn't invent it. Don't you know anything??

Edit - on a side not did your extra 8gb of green make any difference in bf4??

Would be sweet as i want to throw some 290x benches out there but it seems that similar clock benches are doing a tad better because of my CPU (seems to me that a lot of people high up on that Unique Valley leader board is sporting high end x79 CPUs and i dont want to misrepresent this card by pairing it with a much cheaper CPU and posting my results). Currently benching on my absolutely golden 8150 and when that is done, i will put in one of my 8320/50s for some final result benches. When mantle is out, i assume the BF4 benchmark will make use of it, so i will run tests on that.

Mantle is making me excited because its like an upgrade but i dont have to pay anything :D

Incidentally I found my 8120 clocked way better than 8350 hmmm
 
I own an 8320, 8350 and an 8150. I have been through two other 8 core piledrivers and clocked several others and found my original 8150 to be a superhero clocker! It does whatever i tell it to do without problems!

Shame its performance per clock is lower but i cant really complain about getting two half decent clockers and one previous generation golden clocker.
 
Loving all the schoolgirl comments by ... schoolgirls :p

This is good news, a nice start to Mantle gives it a healthy chance to get widespread adoption. Sadly such thing is going to take time, let's see how things look in 2016 :)
