Oh but judging by NV proudly waving their charts and pledging Fermi-deep DX12 support,
and AMD being awfully quite about the same issue, it does seem like DX12 will be tied to GCN.
From AMD's perspective that is.
Right now DX11 MT is good, but it's not nearly on the same level as Mantle. DX12 MT should be on the same level as Mantle from a performance perspective (or a bit better perhaps as there are many other improvements across the board than just MT implementation) but without the drawback of being tied to GCN..
You've said several times that AMD has a lot more to gain from DX MT versus Nvidia. So that means under DX12 AMD will potentially see much larger gains. So what exactly is so special about DX12 for Nvidia? AMD realizes greater improvements in DX, still has Mantle for even closer to metal stuff.Right now DX11 MT is good, but it's not nearly on the same level as Mantle.
that isnt a drawback from a performance perspective.
that is literally what being close to the metal is all about.
Close to metal is a drawback on the PC, because PCs have such widely differing configurations, unlike consoles.
Seems like DX12 is more similar to Mantle than the narrative you want to present, Carfax: https://twitter.com/repi/status/446787503953944576
Under DirectX 12, apps will have the ability to track the GPU's pipeline status directly, without relying on the API or driver as a middleman. Developers will be able to directly control when a resource changes from a texture to a render target and back, for instance, and control where resources are placed in the system heap. Developers will also be able to bundle resources into groups for easier tracking.

If I'm AMD I'm feeling pretty good about things right now.
What's Mantle's baby daddy supposed to say?
yes sweetie you're just as pretty as that rich girl
Ofc he's gonna say that
Because paying developers to create and use mantle only to toss it in a year gives AMD a nice warm feeling inside?
Specifically, AMD "Graphics Core Next" GPUs, broadly HD 7000 and up, and NVIDIA Fermi, Kepler, and Maxwell GPUs (which is to say, all of the company's DirectX 11 parts) will all support DirectX 12

there you go - From Nvidia's side: as old as 2010 HW to be supported in DX12
and from AMD - not even all hw selling TODAY will be supported
This is huge imho

U for get to mention even demos,forza 5 and every benchmark was running on Titan Blackhttp://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/...ovements-for-existing-hardware-in-directx-12/

Still that shows Trust and power of the company.we are talking 2yrs in the future...anything pre 7000 isnt that important nor is any pre kepler card.
Ah so that's what your crystal ball says, Mantle is DOA in a year.
Microsoft ported across the 3DMark benchmark to DX12, and notes substantially lower CPU utilisation as a result.
crazy some of the anti mantle guys believing pr slides and the best part is its even 2 years away
what did you guys made change your thinking?
Still that shows Trust and power of the company.
guys come on. its mantle thread all over again but reversed. its hilarious
