AMD Mantle API (Low level hardware access)

*edit*

 

Holly fu*k!!!

:eek2:

Cevat Yerli at GDC 2014

 

its been known for a while that cryengine's gonna get it

haters gonna hate


so now, can somebody say something about M$ supposedly adopting mantle and calling it DX12? ;d I dont believe in this that much but it would make a lot of sense as most of the code work is done.

 

Charlie said something like that and Ryan Shrout seems to be thinking the same

GDC 14: CRYENGINE To Support Mantle, AMD Gets Another Endorsement

BTW, Mantle SDK is on its way

 

Finally, SDK. I hope it's 2nd of April as I want no jokes. Been waiting long enough and would be happy even for pre-alpha, just to learn fundamentals in advance.

 

its going to be limited release, and under NDA, so unless you are a professional developer, you arent going to have access to it.

 

If you ask nicely, I believe John Larson should be able to slip you a copy.

 

I do not care if I have to use PGP or any other encryption, or linux of AMD choice. I just want to get my fingers on it.

 

there is one problem with that: asking nicely.

lol

 

I am not that bad with people. Some are just oversensitive
And time to time they ask to be shaken a bit back to reality.

 

He was kidding, as was my response.

John Larson is the ATIman guy that comes in here and acts like a tool.

He does not have access to the SDK any more than you or i do.

 

Please, when the mantle will be available for the hd8000m series (laptop)?
What AMD has said about that?

 

Mantle came out for 8000m laptops yesterday, download the driver at www.amd.com/mayprilfools

 

lol...mayprilfools.
