That's the case with the Frostbite 3 engine.
Indeed. Just like with Frostbite, we have to see how many additional titles with Mantle support that "supporting" the Engine translates into.

Wow. Getting Cryengine is a huge win for Mantle. Now they are in the two premier game engines.

I don't think I said what you think I said.
I was pointing out that each individual game within the engine still has to be coded for Mantle, so we still haven't seen what the engine "supporting" it means.
Ofc Crytek wants to support DX12 on day one :biggrin:
I think this announcement does a lot to convince people mantle is the real deal.
I'm sure the goal is to get the engines automated to the point that all the low hanging fruit optimizations(cpu) are done automatically. If they can get to that then politics would be the only reason not to have mantle.

I honestly never thought I would see someone say "Get a $700 card and put the settings on low @ 1080p, and see what you are missing"
Who said that?

VulgarDisplay, you never specified whether you were running Windows 7 or Windows 8/8.1. The latter would boost performance considerably in CPU limited situations on the GTX 780 in BF4.
And when NVidia releases it's secret sauce drivers in a few weeks, I bet performance will be even higher..
I'm on windows 7. There has to be someone out there with a 2500k @ 4.5ghz and either a gtx780 or r9 290 to take a shot from the exact same location in direct X.
I highly doubt windows 8.1 is going to provide a 60fps increase.
I also updated my first post.
Keep the 780 until Nvidia's next driver, it should improve their minimums by 100% and bring it up to match Mantle in efficiency if Nvidia isn't spewing empty PR while in damage control mode.

The BF4 forums are replete with posts of users who experienced massive performance gains on Windows 8/8.1 compared to Windows 7.. The more CPU limited you are, the bigger the gain..
Youtuber gains 20 FPS in move to Windows 8.1.
Post on BL forums.
Just a few examples.. I'm not saying Mantle won't still be faster, but the gap should be decreased substantially by moving to Windows 8.1..
Man, that's a shame because I wouldn't use Windows 8 if my life depended on it.
Windows 7 until SteamOS.
