Na GDC AMD upřesnila, že po vydání DirectX 12 rozhodně Mantle nezařízne a to hned ze tří důvodů. Tím první bude právě podpora Linuxu, kterou DirectX 12 nenabízí. Druhý tkví v architektuře API - Mantle je blíže hardwaru a některé typy úloh prý bude zvládat lépe než DirectX 12 (pozn.: pravděpodobně půjde jen o menší rozdíly, brzda číslo 1 - nadměrný overhead DirectX 11 - je odstraněna v obou API). Třetí důvod spočívá v rychlejší podpoře nových technologií - zatímco s novým hardwarem může být rovnou vydána i nová verze Mantle, v případě DirectX se čeká i několik let, než se všechny technologie podporované hardwarem zpřístupní.

Naturally, AMD can motivate developers in other ways, too. While Corpus didn't address that side of the equation, VG247 reported last year that Battlefield 4's inclusion in the Gaming Evolved program—and its support for Mantle—involved a $5-8 million payment from AMD. That figure was never confirmed officially, but it's no secret AMD's and Nvidia's developer relations and co-marketing programs often involve financial incentives. Supporting Mantle may be a financially lucrative proposition for some game studios.

MANTLE

• Mantle now requires Catalyst 14.2 or later drivers.
• Fixed multiple crashes.
• Fixed memory leak when switching between windowed and full screen.
• Optimized memory management which can reduce amount of performance stalls when video memory is overcommitted.
• Improved performance when vsync is used.
• Fixed bug with offset mouse cursor when using full screen and horizontal windows taskbar.
• Multi-GPU: Added initial support for frame pacing for smoother frame rate in full screen mode, enabled by default. Can be disabled in console / User.cfg with “RenderDevice.FramePacingMethod 0”.
• Multi-GPU: Fixed black screen when starting on machine with multiple GPUs where the weakest GPU has the display attached to it.
• Multi-GPU: Fixed intermittent crash when switching between windowed and full screen mode when having multiple GPUs

Dear Timothy Green!

I respect all promotion about OGL, especially if that comes from Intel/Nv/AMD. But as a game developer I'm already know all of this. I think everybody know, well at least the engine programers.

The problem is that I can support an extra API with minimal work, but porting the existing HLSL codes to GLSL is not so easy and it will need money, human resource, and time for testing. Now we don't have these. That's why Mantle is so useful for us, because it works with the HLSL codes, and also most of the source can be re-used from Xbox One and PS4.

So Mantle Is far from Doomed. Now this is the only modern API that useful for the PC developers. And my own opinion is that Mantle has a bright future, because the API is still smarter than DX12.
