Minkoff, what are you doing? You "know" performance gains are not in the single digits? Really? How do you know this when not ONE IOTA of performance information resulting from Mantle use has been released or posted anywhere in public? See, this is the kind of posting I have a tremendous issue with. You actually just said out loud, that Mantle was a brilliant move for AMD. Why? What have you seen that deems it brilliant?
See what I'm getting at?
And please, none of that "Any fool could see" nonsense.
Stop praising this thing until we get some concrete info for goodness sake.
When it comes out and it does well, then I'll raise the roof with you, but until then dude, stop promoting.
You are correct and I realized it as soon as I posted. Nonetheless I rephrased Skynner: I'll put it this way. We're not going to develop an entirely new API just for a performance gain of 3 or 4 percent. It will be a significant increase..
Does significant mean 6% to you? Do you think that people do not messure their words, when something so critical is being answered?
The brilliancy is not always on the technology side... I
- do you have people talking about Mantle?
- does the competition has anything to counter at this stage?
- does the possibility of free gains do not influence the purchasing/holding of cards? and so on...
- when was the last time you saw such a movement, that got you interested in GPUs?
Praising? When did I do that? Go back to any one of my posts and show me! As I said earlier, I am no AMD employee...dude, nor promoting anything.
