Mantle Support?

[angerthosenear]

Is support for AMD's Mantle in prospect?

 

You have NVidia's PhysX implemented at the moment (which is quite nice), but would like to see you reach out to the AMD users out there.

 

The performance gain with Mantle over DX is certainly attractive.

Yeah I'd also like to see some of this be implemented as well, but i'd imagine it would take a while for them to give the same treatment that PhysX has.

Given that Mantle's primary benefit is to alleviate CPU bottlenecking, anyone with a weaker CPU would see greatly improved performance with Mantle enabled in Warframe. Make it happen, DE!

I'd really like to see Mantle but as a nvidia gpu owner I'd like to see D3D 11.1 followed by that to alleviate some of the CPU usage.

Yeah, that option is cool too, but AMD mentioned that mantle can be used on other GPU architecture if properly optimized, it could work through CUDA like OpenCL.

 

But we must ask DE if theres any barriers arising from an agreement with Nvidia.

 

As is said, Mantle is open api so Warframe dont have to be automaticaly in Gaming Evolve program to use it. Unless DE will need help with it.

But lets be honest, it wont give us PhysX on radeon.......or maybe it will??
