Mantle is a low-level rendering API targeted at 3D video games.

Mantle was originally developed by AMD in cooperation with DICE starting in 2013.

Mantle was designed as an alternative to Direct3D and OpenGL, primarily for use on personal computers, although suitable hardware is fully available in the Wii U, PlayStation 4 and the Xbox One.

Gamebryo Engine(Fallout 3, Skyrim, Rift, Defense Grid: The Awakening)

We asked if AMD Mantle integration is on its way to Gamebryo or whether DX12 would be capable enough to provide low level access. “Our engineers have been testing Mantle. Mantle enables us to share many rendering code for Xbox One and PS4 and brings many benefits even on PC like explicit Multi-GPU management. Also Mantle exposes more low-level features than DX12 as extensions. Although we are going to inevitably support DX12 as well, Mantle is definitely the key technology that we’d like to adopt for consoles and high-end PCs.”

Make a 'user.config' in your BF4/PvZ GW/Dragon Age Inquisition DIR and add:

OSD:

PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1
PerfOverlay.Enable 1
Render.DrawScreenInfo 1

Depending what patch is live, other variables may help gameplay:.
(If you are unsure leave it alone)

Unfortunately it isn't free, it's a capture/broadcast app, there is a trial available so you can try it out.

Steam Overlay now supported in Mantle games with the October 22 client update. :) Spread the word! Mantle support rolls on!

You need to enable Steam Beta:

Then select:

AfterBurner OSD- Unfortunately AfterBurner currently has no Mantle support, however you can install and run AfterBurner remote server and you can get almost all your OSD info displayed on your phone/tablet minus FPS and Vram usage.

Video instructions I found on how to set it up:

iirc I have a guide somewhere on here for setting this up is it can be a pain to connect on some systems. I was using the remote server to a tablet for Bf4 prior to ab getting 64bit osd support. Works very well, plus you can adjust everything on the fly without having to alt tab out of the game :)

With the talk of osd and mantle you could link up a ready made user.cfg for Bf4 with the basic perfoverlay features included.

Been using AB remote server since BF4 myself, I kept a video link on how to set it up, glad that it worked out very useful in the end and I have added my user config for BF4 for native Frostbite OSD.

If you can find your instructions, I'll add it as well, thanks.:)

Nice one bug.:)

Mantle v DX12 will be interesting.

Can DX negate Mantle?

Or will Mantle be strong enough?

AMD, this is your opportunity to get the absolute best out of your api and give DX12 a hard run for the honours.:)
 
AMD approached various devs, AMD/Frostbite/Oxide(Dan Baker and Tim Kipp )worked in partnership to develop Mantle.

If I'm still running AMD, I will be able to use both when DX12(if it's supported on my OS) arrives, I'll compare them 1 v 1 on a game by game basis, I'll use the api that produces the best output/playability.

Choice is the key.
