JEMC said: I agree, graphic drivers must be a pain to work with. And now AMD goes and adds another kind of drivers with Mantle. I'm sure the guys that make the drivers are very happy about it, and would like exchange a few words with their bosses. |
Mantle isn't a driver. It's an API that interfaces with AMD's drivers/hardware.
To put the complexity of AMD's and nVidia's drivers into context though... Their drivers actually have more lines of code than the Windows Kernel, so it's impossible to always have a 100% trouble free experience regardless of what brand you go with.
Luckily some of the issues aren't noticed by the average person.
Most of the issues are going to be noticed most by those who have complex set-ups, I'm talking multi-GPU and Eyefinity/Surround Vision set-ups.
