In reply to freddy fleetwood. vulkan is developed by Khronos group which uses mantle as its core. Mantle as an actual API in a game is dead

It’s both IIRC. Alpha is DX11 and DICE said they were supporting DX 12. Didn’t sound like they were supporting Mantle on this either or they would have said it. But considering AMD’s not even finishing proper Mantle support on the Fury X. I’m pretty sure it’s dead.

I’d imagine they will have the API support locked in by Gamescom and we’ll hear something there though.

In reply to *Also On PC. are you sure its DX12 only? seems kind of pointless to have a DX11 version running now which runs really well... unless the demo that people have been playing has been specially ported

No Mantle/DX11 toggle like BF4/Hardline. Interesting if this is just DX11 since it’s well optimised on PC already. Since the final game will support DX12 only on PC. Should eclipse the 900P 30FPS PS4 version easily.

Wonder if they will have a Vulkan/DX12 API option though. Would be superb to have both represented on the biggest title of the year
