And now with Steammachines using AMD chips, and possibly Mantle, things could get real dirty for NVidia

Mantle is initially only for Windows... they will port to Linux in the future.

The API will support only GCN hardware... so less than 20% of the market?

BTW MS will never permit this API grow up... at maximum MS will change the DirectX to make AMD, nVidia, devs, etc happy.
