You're just as bad as the rest of us Broomstick. Stop trying to pretend you're any different when you're just as bad and quite possibly worse going on the rubbish you post. :D

My Titans are old, My CPU is old, I am old but I am not offended because someone refers to them/me as old.

So you have a little old 6870. Nice one :p

Edit:

To keep this on track... Are you not interested in using DX12 then? If so, where are you looking to mainly game?

My gaming is very limited atm hence my machine getting dated. There is nothing on the pc that interest's me much atm. DX12 is interesting just for the fact i still like the technology associated with PC's and gaming in General. I feel that PC gaming has gotten stale over the years and most games are like playing the same game with better Graphics and tbh not even that much better Graphics. I pretty much over done fps and mmo's over the years to the point my Woman thought she was single.

Lol nah she's not a bad woman. I reckon most women would have had enough and walked after a month or 2. I was pretty extreme tbh. On the pc around 2-3pm and sometimes still on it at 2-3pm the next day. Her face used to say it all when she woke up and i was still sitting there gaming away.

Skipped work, no dinner and no poo breaks lol.

I am sure the bug will come back at some point but last game i was playing was Swtor which my hardware was more than a match for. Before that was eve online maxed out at 100fps. Had a go on Insurgency and again not really hard on the hardware. I have never been one to upgrade for the sake of it more of a when its needed.

Has to be mantle as dx12 ain't out lol.

Neither is Mantle really, or so we keep getting told every time there's a Mantle related issue or the fact it only works with 2 games is brought up! :p

There's no guarantee that DX12 will be as good as they say, but as long as it's better than DX12 at least we're moving in the right direction!
Sure DX 12 is still a while away and might not offer the same performance benefits that Mantle does, but there is the consideration that it's not just being done for a small subset of cards. AMD don't even have Mantle working on their non-GCN cards yet and DX12 is aiming to release with support for a large number of cards. If Mantle wasn't going to be released (even in it's current state) until it supported all the cards DX 12 should, do you think Mantle would be out yet?
It's like saying that Usain Bolt is faster than Mo Farah. Yes he is technically, but he didn't have to run as far or as long. He runs faster and finishes in much less time, but that doesn't make him better. Even the playing field, make him run the same distance as Mo and see if he still looks as good!

Many people are banging on about Mantle being adopted by this developer or that developer. I may have missed it, but were the announcements that these developers would be using Mantle exclusively? If not, it mean they may also use DX11 and/or DX12 in due time. I'll get excited when someone announces they are using Mantle exclusively!

Maybe that could be a way to judge these APIs, decide which is best. See which one is first used in a game as the only API? If it's so good.

Or maybe, once DX12 and Mantle are both properly released and used in a game, we see which gets better average framerates. Say 20 AMD and 20 Nvidia cards, both use both API, record their averages add all the AMD Mantle scores and Nvidia Mantle scores together (use 0 if they can't supply one) and then add the AMD DX12 scores and the Nvidia DX12 scores together and see which one does best?
Seems like an unbiased way to work it out?

Does it even matter which is the best API as long as they both turn out to be good APIs?

You sure you and Rusty ain't the same lol

I got you calling it Old and him calling it little. Do i call your card Big Titan or your newer Titan than my card, why not just say your 6870 can't use mantle. I got eyes and i can read. Having first hand experience is not needed to have an opinion. I read other people's experiences to gain an understanding.

That is fundamentally flawed. Especially when you let your own bias creep into it. The point is you're making wide ranging comments about things you have no experience of nor are you able to experience. Having an opinion on something is fine but calling this and that without the tools to do so will inevitably result in you being pulled up.

I'm allowed to call the 6870 little as I had one :).

I have 14 years PC gaming experience with lots of different techs and games. If you wanna count overall gaming years then that's 30 years lol Atari 2900 when i was 5. I think my opinion ain't to bad and i do a lot of reading before i post mainly. When drunk not. Anyhow your opinions are usually tunnel vision and not open to change so tbh you obviously think your right on everything. Debating is then useless as it's called wasting your time.

Having an opinion right or wrong is what forums are all about. I also happen to have mates with better tech than mine which i use frequently so do have access to mantle if i so wish to try it. No point at the moment as my mate uses 7970 cf. The rest comes from reading forums and reviews just about every day and then i base my opinions on that.

What Bias do i have exactly? I use AMD more because i vote with my wallet. Most of my experience with Gfx cards comes from the AMD side because of this. Does this make me biased. You see my first main card was a 9800 pro and from there after AMD suited my budget more than Nvidia apart from the 8800gtx which i got free. I mainly have a really good experience with AMD so tbh when i post i am not gonna crap all over my real life experience and lie. Amd cards have been good to me so when i see something written that i think is bs i will post as in my experience it's wrong. It's not biased just experience.

It really is hard for me to recommend an NV card atm as like i say i vote with my wallet so for me it would be wrong to then say to someone else go NV as it's not what i would do. If someone specifically ask's for an NV card then i will give an opinion.

Anyhow i think i am trying to justify this a little to much because the vodka is flowing.
