"I know that Intel have approached us for access to the Mantle interfaces, et cetera," Huddy said. " And right now, we've said, give us a month or two, this is a closed beta, and we'll go into the 1.0 [public release] phase sometime this year, which is less than five months if you count forward from June. They have asked for access, and we will give it to them when we open this up, and we'll give it to anyone who wants to participate in this."
The Mantle drivers are part of AMD's Catalyst software, a wrapper for AMD's software drivers. Huddy described Catalyst as "a little long in the tooth," and said his understanding was that AMD planned to "rev it" with a new update soon.
For now, Mantle's focus is on improving the frame rates of games that tap into it, an easy way to sell AMD's performance to the numbers-obsessed world of gamers and benchmarking sites. That doesn't preclude AMD spending resources to improve the graphical quality, though.
"Our very first iteration has primarily focused on a performance differentiation, but we do know with that extra performance we can spend it on extra [image] quality," Huddy said.
Be very weird for intel to possibly get behind mantle, still if they do it could possibly lead to NVidia also being involved at some point.
Minimums mainley.What are the difference in fps for those who have been reading comparisions for weeks? Is it minimum avg or max that is going up? Because i would expect Mantle to be upping the minimums which are the only fps that counts for me.
I guess i am going to have to google it myself unless Matt remembers it by hand.
Yea those are awesome gains for someone who wants to game at 120hz. But i am going to have to sit down and find some for a 4770k too. I wonder is Mantle an example of what it can do for low end AMD cpu's or all cpu's in limited scenarios.
I never remembered the minimums sticking out like that and since im leaving 60hz behind it has become the go to thing for me now. Thanks for posting that for me though Humbug i appreciate it.
"Regardless of what some media are reporting, mostly based on a recent article published by GameStar, the information in those reports and in the GameStar article itself are rumors which Crytek deny.
"We continue to focus on the development and publishing of our upcoming titles Homefront: The Revolution, Hunt: Horrors of the Gilded Age, Arena of Fate, and Warface, as well as providing ongoing support for our CryEngine and its licensees.
"We have received a lot of positive feedback during and after E3 from both gaming press and gamers, and would like to thank our loyal employees, fans and business partners for their continuous support."
Johan Andersson (repi) says that Star Wars Battlefront will be using Frostbite, which will have Mantle support. It's not been officially announced by AMD yet, but has appeared on slides from when Mantle launched.
