Mantle in January?

1. AMD said that one of the benefits of the Mantle API is that it eliminates the current problem that game and driver developers need to use guesswork to eliminate API bottlenecks in current games. This is why driver updates randomly, and slowly, come with performance updates to games every now and then (or so I understand). This means fewer updates will be needed to achieve a perfect game driver for any Mantle game.

2. Frame latencies can vary between frames even if the average fps is 50. Those 50 frames within that second can be drawn at wildly different speeds. I'm sure he meant frame latencies will be tightened. The frame latency thing was a big issue for the whole of last year, so it'd be obvious to many of us here what he meant.

 

you know, she's the chick that said she was gonna come in december,

but had to delay multiple times, because her dad found out that she was gonna visit us.

so she said, she is gonna come in january for sure, but since its already at the end of january, i don't think she is gonna make it on january.

 

Oh, that's so sad.

 

Why can't they simply give us a real update like real human beings, instead of giving basically no details about the state of development and essentially lying to us without remorse. I spent 700 euros on the opportunity to try out Mantle and Truaudio, taking a gamble on AMD software like I knew that I would have to - so far I've gained nothing from the experience except for shoddy crossfire support, black screens, stuttering vsync, and load leaf-blower hot-ass cards which sound like dying whales. AMD seriously needs to overhaul their drivers, which alone would fix half of the problems which plague their products.

If I don't see Mantle by February, or the end of next week, I am going to write another angry keyboard-warrior paragraph, with more strong, powerful words which AMD will nevertheless ignore. Just you wait....

 

Some thing tells me that is going to be released tomorrow. I don't think so. lol

 

This is getting tiresome..

"we'll release the mantle driver in Dec..."
"actually.. no we won't.. Let's call it January and everyone will be happy..."
"actually... "

 

If they do it would be the most amazing thing this year. I don't think they will release it tomorrow. If only they listened to the community and just release it even if it's a bit buggy or don't give you the performance now. Untill I see this working in my actual pc I can't recommend AMD GPU's for now.


Did you guys noticed something funny about voting it's like we throwing AMD a middle finger

 

I have the same feelings, strange...


What does "hold your breath" mean? AMD PR Manager said that to me when I was askim him if the drivers would be releasing this week.

 

On the 27th..you'll see kidding, I have no idea.

 

Look at Rich guy's post below yours

 

Poor guy. :nerd:

 

Next Tuesday.

If you could ask our Mantle developers 1 question, what would it be? Make sure to use #AMDMantle

 

Lets all ask the question: When will Mantle ACTUALLY be released?

 

it IS the popular question so far I doubt that surprises them at all

 

There is chance that it will be delayed till early February (It will definitely come before Thief), but I'm 99% sure that atleast exact date will be anounced in Jan.

 

Lol I think that was the intention. Imminent release I guess?

 

You people are asking the wrong question.

Its not when mantle will be released, there is no release. The API interfaces are in the 13.35 driver, which AMD has no need to post until there is something that uses it.

its "When will Dice/EA/Frostbite release the mantle patch for bf4.

Its really got nothing to do with AMD.

 

No it's "when will AMD release the 14.1 Drivers?"
