lol indeed . But irrespective of comparisons and what not it still should be (in the context of Mantle) that if you're graph dropping in a thread where the graph is not explanatory as to its origin then a one line caveat is both polite and necessary. As said before, you know as well as I do that when graph dropping hardly anyone clicks the actual article link unless they're looking for holes to pick at.
Herein lies the problem. If people had actually looked at the article, read the link i gave them and watched the benchmarking sequence they used, then we likely wouldn't be having this debate.
Thing is matt, this isnt your forum, people are free to raise whatever points they want, as long as they dont start throwing needless insults in
Raising a point that a posted set of info might be unrepresentative of general gameplay was a totally valid point, considering it was not mentioned within the post that originated the info
You're having a pop at rusty for not letting itgo, but it takes two to tango
I never said it was my forum. I was just sticking to the topic, posting a benchmark with a link to an article about Mantle and its performance vs DX.
It was not mentioned because i linked to the article, which contained the link to the video. It was a 30 second sequence of a run through the resource heavy part of the map, on foot. A good indicator of performance as its pure gameplay and not sitting on the spawn screen or waiting in base that would have been part of pgi's benchmark comparison. Again this comes back to the reason of why it was not a particularly relevant comparison to what they were testing. Its basic benchmarking procedure.
I only responded to Rusty telling me to stop being rude. I just replied explaining why it was not a relevant comparison and that was not actually being rude just stating facts based on the different benchmark comparisons.
