Same as saying gsync will work with AMD. Maybe with hacks, but not official method for sure.

It only work with AMD GCN architecture.

Aiya bro look at the bright side at least they say it will be cheaper to port games over to pc then both red and green camp got benefit ma

Gsync is not open. AMD got a free-sync in the work and they've submitted change of spec to VESA on DP 1.2.

MANTEL was told will be open but how to extract the potential in nvidia is remain to be seen.

 

[manshen]

No idea for now. Its supposed to be open. So, Nvidia cards can use it (provided Nvidia supports it).

future of gaming looks bright on AMD cards.....lol....

Console supports mantle, so porting it to PC will not be hard.

AMD kang chong spider! Talk about mantle on how it will increase performance But Beta 14.1 isn't even available for download. And it's a Beta some more.

Do you need to use AMD CPU to benefit from this Mantle API?

Btw, looking at my current CPU of Phenom II X4 955, should I upgrade the graphic card to take advantage of Mantle? And do I need to change the CPU as well?

nope only gpu

nope only gpu

To be specific, only GCN GPUs. That means 7000 series and later. So Blackwing's 5870 won't benefit from it.

Driver delayed:

AMD also mentioned a 24 hour exclusive period for press to evaluate the driver before public release, so it looks like your download will be at least 36 hours away.
