Why are there no benchmarks? Way to present something like this with no benchmarks..

Anyway hope it flops and dies soon.. I like the idea of the PC being " infinte" backward compatible and don't like the potential defragmentation.. Glide ftw!

There will be, once BF4 launches with both DX11 and Mantle versions.

Funny thing is, not so long ago I remember someone (not sure who, I think it's someone from EPIC) was saying how we need to get rid of DX and go with better APIs for PCs.

Later that night...

Well BF4 launches with DX11, Mantle will be patched in later
