From what I've heard DX12 is a big improvement and can compete with mantle. IMO AMD didn't manage the Mantle thing very well, they should've let the devs have access to it at least a bit before they announced it to the public, then people wouldn't have had to wait as long for it to be availible. Also, Mantle is in like 2 games at the moment so we will have to see what happens in the future

Well without Mantle we might not even have heard of DX12 yet. Lets wait half a year and see how things are going...

It'll have Mantle, it just won't make a difference lol

I'd guess they have been "working on" DX12 since DX11.

 

Did they mention multithreading and API overhead improvements 3 years ago? I'm not saying that DX12 wouldn't have happened without Mantle, but at least Mantle kicked up discussion about where graphics APIs should be going and probably made Microsoft reveal its future 12DX a bit sooner.

 

Well it seems like Microsoft is targeting DX12 for the 2015 holiday season, we will probably see more Mantle than DX12 before then...

My advice would be this.

 

IF you want best of both worlds? go AMD GPU they can have either mantle or dx12

 

If you don't give a fuck? go nvidia they will have dx12

 

if you want price/performance? go whichever you can afford and man it up.

Live your life like a dream.

The only good thing worth mentioning that mantle did was motivate MS to bring out Dx12.
