Thanks. Can't keep a playa down for long.

I only see black and white and Roy told a big fat lie and everyone is assuming that DX12 will be Mantle. I hope it is in away, as it has been out since January and plenty of time to be worked on but wouldn't that be AMD selling out? I will wait for the official news before jumping to conclusions but if mantle is the basics for DX12, then good stuff.

Roy is twice the man of you or me Gregorio. We're not fit to tie his shoe laces and don't you forget that. Roy>Matt>Gregorio is the pecking order.

Ohhh and just to clarify....

AMD’s Roy Taylor Started the Obituary of DirectX, but Microsoft Says Not So Fast

“DirectX is the world’s leading low-level interface for gaming and graphics. Microsoft is actively investing in DirectX as the unified graphics foundation for all of our platforms,” the company said in a statement. “DirectX is evolving and will continue to evolve. We have absolutely no intention of stopping innovation with DirectX.”

Microsoft’s statement seems to be as bland and perfunctory as any denial-of-rumour release. But as Mr. Taylor is far from an uninformed outsider (he stressed in e-mails that he wasn’t authorized to speak on Microsoft’s behalf), one has to wonder what he knows that brought him to make his claim that the end of DirectX was nigh

So Roy was talking out of his bottom and clearly was telling porkies.

I don't like Roy.

There I said it.

So if Mantle is DX12, why are devs still jumping onto Mantle? Wouldn't it be daft to have a DX12 game and it has Mantle support?

Matt - its because PS4 dev tools aren't utter and complete crap.... most of the commands translate from PS4 dev tools straight to mantle.

DX 12 comes from the fact that Xbox1 dev tools are bad; very, very bad and need to be fixed now....

Yep i was kinda posting that for your benefit to backup your earlier claims.

Hmmm......lets see why people would be jumping onto mantle if its DX12 or near translation....

What are you on about? Roy links to a Thief bench from Anand and I showed you users bench from OcUK.

Where are you getting AMD vS nVidia from? Grow up.

Roy, flat out lied.

No he didn't, MS said there wouldn't be a DX12.

MS have changed their mind after the Mantle phenomenon. nice try tho

No! Roy said there would be no DX12, of which MS quickly said he was wrong.

I am at work and no idea how Twitter works on my phone. I could see the Roy tweet but that was it? I can't be sat at my computer every day watching for Tweets by Roy sadly and have to do that little thing called "A job"

Not how i remember it. where?

I hate all the nVidea/AMD fanboi stuff, but if you do a search, it seems to be agreed that AMD Roy is a BS merchant.
