Lets turn things around! When dev’s like you and many others embrace MAntle and start coding for it, how long will it take for Nvidia and/or others to scratch their head and think…hmm.. maybe we should jump om that bandwagon. If AMD can’t convince them, surely the devs/coders can.

I’m sure the last thing I read about Carmack was him wanting low level APi’s for PC GPU’s to get maximum performance from them… So now AMD are trying to implement what he wanted it is now too much effort? Hmmmm. Don’t much like a hypocrite!

It would be an obvious way to extract better performance out of existing hardware. I mean, existing hardware can get smaller; more power efficient, run cooler, be cheaper to manufacture etc (as we have seen with the Xbox 360 and PS3) but what it can’t do is become more powerful, the specs at launch are set in stone for the lifecycle of that generation -but the software, including the O/S and even the firmware, that can be optimised right up until the end. As long as Mantel does not break older titles that do not use it, the door will remain open.

As the years pass, who’s to say Microsoft and Sony don’t just update the system and release more horsepower?

If they did it and Sony didn’t maybe they’d get closer to Sony’s GPU performance.
