Hi peeps. I don't know much about this mantle just that it gives better performance in bf4 .. I haven't got it but was wondering if I did would it make any difference to peformance in all my other games? Titanfall, cs go, sc2 etc ? Or is it only worth getting if you have games that are optimized for it ?
 
BF4 and Thief are the 2 games that use Mantle - Remember that Mantle is Alpha/Beta and has some bugs though and will take some time before it is working fully.

What Bugs are those? there are no bugs in it that i can see. :)

@ OP: BF4, Theif, Oxide engine Star Swarm test, a few games currently in development and with CryTech sporting Mantle there should be more from them later.
 
There are plenty of bugs and issues that need ironed out for many users.

CF support in Thief
Compatibility with other 7000 series GPUs

Those are not bug's, those are feature yet to be added, April is when those feature should come. its a BETA API.

As for the HD 7000 series. i'm running one (7870XT) and the only incompatibility issue is efficient memory management, use too higher IQ and it uses to much vRam because it pre-loads too much textures. yet despite this on a 2GB card i'm still able to run these settings perfectly and double my Minimum FPS. Optimisation for 2GB cards and HD 7000 series comes again in April. :)

Why give misinformation? Very poor form.
 
Come on Greg don't tell me you don't know the difference between compatibility and Bugs.

Give over Humbug. You said there was no bugs and I gave the OP a sensible answer.

Just a couple of bugs/issues/call it what you like and there will be loads more DX problems/bugs with 14.3.

I am not debating this any longer, as you clearly are not prepared to be truthful and my intention is to advise the OP and not you.
 
Fair does Greg. it seems there are a couple of Bugs. Its a BETA API. it will all be sorted before it goes WHQL. :)

I think the majority are issues with the drivers and or the developers coding of Mantle. I don't think there are specific bugs with the API itself.

Certainly it took DICE a couple of BF4 Patches to get it working properly in Mantle, just as its taken many patches to fix bugs in DX.

The Star Swarm app worked perfectly from Day one.

There are always bugs in any sort of programming of a scale this large - no code is perfect, and Mantle is no different.

Hence why i said the majority and not all. Most of the issues will lie with drivers and the game coders though. Once Mantle is out of Beta id expect it to be perfect or close to it.
