What do you guys think about AMD’s Mantles Graphics API could it be something Reloaded could use i know its probably a bit late but its food for thought.



Mantle reduces the CPU’s workload by giving developers a way to talk to the GPU directly with much less translation. With less work for the CPU to do, programmers can squeeze much more performance from a system, delivering the greatest benefits in gaming systems where the CPU can be the bottleneck.



I see a lot of engines are starting to use it.

I'm sure this could be investigated, but from what I've seen so far, most users issues are based around the GPU, rather then the CPU (For almost all products, not just Reloaded). Still should certainly be worth a look.

Hey,



AMD’s Mantles Graphics API is just for amd cards and cpu´s so all nvidia/intel users would not profit from something like that. Also it is not sure if is developed further when x12 from microsoft is out. So I think this is not a really good idea.

Make this forum to something a little bit better and release more stuff. So we can push the Request/NoobHelp threads aside.

Mantle support would be awesome, remember new tech is only viable if people use it. If everyone waits no one uses it.

@ Corno_1 i could be wrong but this came from the man himself



Also its already in some engines and the game thief is getting it tomorrow and BF4 already has it and gives a whopping 58% faster for some people.

If it becomes a standard, I will certainly check it out. Right now I can only support technology and techniques that will work across NVIDIA, AMD and INTEL in equal measure. I don't want to play favorites at this stage, as I want everyone to benefit from Reloaded.
