Perhaps. But I was a PC gamer back in the 3dfx days and used Glide with a couple of Voodoo 2's in SLI (I still have those cards too!).
So I *know* what the potential is like.
This time around though, more developers, more game engines and thus games will support mantle than Glide.
I'm excited for it, like a little kid in a candy shop excited, the frustrating part is I want more information!
