Who's going to be attending? I'll see you in Zurich.

AMD is aiming to get the attention of tablet and desktop game developer studios across Europe and it even claims that no NDA will be required for the event. AMD also wants to talk about TressFX, its hair rendering technique, and Johan Andersson from Frostbite will talk about Mantle in Battlefield 4.

I'd really rather see AMD and NVidia do their own APIs. To me it's quite clear Microsoft don't give a crap about PC gamers, but want to look like they do because they're scared of SteamOS.

That would be a bad idea for both amd and nvidia to have there own api.

You wouldn't want pc exclusive would you?
