What exactly is Mantle? Is it a thing to replace Direct X or work in unison with DX?
Why did the 2nd poster mention price? What connection do price have with Mantle? Isn't Mantle free? |
Mantle is free.
It is an API that is seperate to Direct X, developers will more than likely support both Direct X and Mantle in conjunction with each other, just if your system supports Mantle... You get a performance increase.
It's really going to shake up the benchmark scene that's for sure unless nVidia decides to support it.

So it's not a complement to Direct X? It's either or? (just like it is with that other API that's been around forever and which Sony uses, forgot the name).
Can you elaborate on your last sentence? (shouldn't it have been "if Nvidia decides to not support it"?) What happens if Nvidia decides to support Mantle?
