I presumed Mantle must be running 'audio stuff' or there would be no audio in BF4/Thief.

It's a good point.
How do OpenGL games do audio?

That's a much deeper question!
Also leads into how does graphics do graphics?

Wasn't OpenAl the popular choice orangey?

GoogalyMoogaly · 20 Jun 2014 at 16:41

So it's possible Mantle doesn't do audio then?

LtMatt · 20 Jun 2014 at 17:12

Oh no!

It must be Mantle, can't see what else it would be to be honest.

I was just checking after people said this ^^

Clearly we don't have a clue...about audio.

It's nice to see that when people don't know they just say "Mantle"

"I don't know" would be the honest answer, but "Mantle" sounds better right?
Will have to take any answer with a pinch of salt it seems as guessing seems to be rife!

Mantle you too.

LtMatt · 20 Jun 2014 at 18:21

Eh, who cares.

Mantle is the God of knowledge and knows everything or did you not know that.

Mantle > Everything.

Maybe it'd would have helped if Matt had posted the full video again...

Word.

The best thing is Mantle is the Kryptonite of Nvidia users.

A bit like GameWorks is the Kryptonite of AMD users.

Ah yes, now I see, Mantle.
