Discussing GCN Architecture, Performance & The Future

[LtMatt]

Well according to your God, Roy Taylor, he said they were waiting for AMD to get in touch but I guess on this occasion, he was talking rubbish because he isn't bigging up AMD but since joining AMD, everything he said is true and nothing is wrong.

Not that I care but we can all grab a statement and say "I like it, so it is true" and that seems to be the order of Mantle.

If AMD ever lock Nvidia out from Mantle i'll hold up my hands Gregorio. I think we both know that won't happen though as doing that will not make Mantle a success. If we look at open and proprietary features from both sides AMD have a history of being open with their tech whereas Nvidia do not. If this changes with Mantle long term then ill admit i was wrong. I don't see that happening though.

EDIT

I know you love Royston as much as i do so don't pretend otherwise. It would be great for all three of us to go down the pub the shoot the ****.

EDIT

Regarding DoorMatt you can walk all over me anytime, tuts.

I never said they couldn't. I said it's not as clean cut as they're making out. That is the first thing I said. Which is when you threw the trusty multiquote of a 10 milion dollar investment at me, which was when I elaberated by explaining he is talking as any developer would in his situation. . . In his element. Johan knows Mantle can be adopted but he is saying it at his own discretion as, like I said before, he's at no more liberty to say so than I am. Ask him on twitter whether he thinks NV will adopt Mantle. I encourage you to

The problem is not 'can Nvidia support Mantle'. The problem is 'will Nvidia support Mantle'. I believe they will be able to (in the future) but they won't. Even if it means their users lose out on perhaps the best thing to happen to the gaming industry in recent times. Time will tell.
