So with all this hubbub going on regarding mantle Im wondering if i'm the only one more excited at the idea of what nvidia is going to pull out from the depths of its rnd lab to compete.

Im thinking mantle was no surprise to them im sure everyone has their own corporate spies and leaks on both sides, that is if mantle will even make that much of a real world difference,I guess we will have to wait and see when something is released that actually uses this.

Nothing, Nvidia will be using Mantle along with Intel.
 
Well it is open source, did you read this somewhere or do you just think thats whats going to happen? I suppose it makes sense since companies have already adopted it for new game releases

They have no choice, either use it or get left behind on DirectX.
Now that all the major game developers are on board I can only see Mantle growing from strength to strength.

As for my source a friend of mine had a meeting with some top brass from Nvidia last week.
 
We had this Glide/3dfx/QuickDraw3D/Direct 3D/OpenGL thing back in the days before DirectX, and it was a nightmare. Where the game experience depended on what tech your card supported. As much as I hated DirectX, it was a godsend, cause for the 1st time ever in history it did not matter what FX card you had, you could play games smoothly.

I sure as hell hope we not going back to those days. Cause I will hate being forced to a brand based on the games I play.

Well that is a relief for me and my 780 :D.
They will have to use it I suppose, otherwise they will be left behind.
 
Mantle could go both ways, it could become the new standard like DirectX or it could fall into a niche market like PhysX.
