Anyway, If it works, it means console gamers can play games on their average PC's like starcraft, mmo's, moba's and other exclusives, so its a bigger advantage for console gamers with average PC's than it is for the 'PC gaming master race' who can already play their games at a good level regardless of if mantle succeeds or not. |
nVidia can support Mantle too, it's Open source don'cha know, it ain't limited to AMD.
All the pieces to support Mantle going forward are there, the consoles use it, AMD will use it and Developers have thrown their support behind it, all that's actually left is for nVidia to support it, which I assume they will, nVidia *dislikes* it immensly when it's behind it's competitors, they can bleed sales and thus cash flow if benchmarks look unfavorable, which is not a position any for-profit business likes to be in, especially one so competitive.
What it does mean is that, Hardware requirements will come down for PC games.
My PC? I would in theory be able to run every game at maximum, without question and on my current hardware for a stupidly long time. - Not that it matters I'll be upgrading soon anyway, I'm probably looking at around 20 Teraflops of GPU compute performance in total soon. :)
