OpenGl gets some mantle benefits

[RatedBlam]

Graham Sellers, AMDs OpenGL guy posted in twitter that OpenGl will get some mantle extensions that will bring performance benefits almost as large as mantle.

 

So is this the open in mantle? In my opinion sounds really good, but i didn't find anything in the article about nvidia.

Edit: One important part in the article is that it could be that this method is easier for devs to implement in their games. So maybe AMD is just being dev friendly to get the Mantle going

Mantle works ONLY with the GCN architecture, so those OpenGL extensions would ONLY work with GCN based graphics cards.
That's the 7000 series & Up.

Did an edit translating one part of the article for possible clarification

That. Is. Awesome.

They REALLY should've made this a point in their presentation. I bet it would've made people a bit more excited about it.

the tweet didnt say anything about mantel being implemented in OpenGL

what i understand is that new OpenGL extensions will expose all of the hardware so API wont be a bottleneck  (not just AMD)

 

ill wait  for a better clarification

The post is not meant to say anything like that, it's about optimizations. Not mantle in OpenGl. I'm sorry for any mistranslations, because the text is rather technical for me

so basically xbox one, ps4, and all pc's with amd cards?

 

 

oh wait, are people actually upset they won't get mantle on nvidia? hi physx

Yup... all the people who bought Origin PC systems will be!

Aww, you wanted more performance, but we dropped the AMD cards from our selection...let me help you there...
