Why we are all stack on fps? What about frame times Stuttering and smoothness. They clearly mention this in the presentation with the Deus Ex shader loading, stuttering example. They also said its not ment for every game.
One more thing, Johan said that the code is very close of what the ps4 code looks like. In ps4 we have 60 fps with 7870 like card and a 8 core cpu at 1.6. Make the math about our more modern systems. With my 7850 and 4 core 3.9 cpu a lot of the times i drop to 35.
The other key think they mention, you will not have to wait for a Driver update to make the game work. This is a pain in the ass for me with every new game. The developer has all the control for making the game work without the need of a new Driver.

I would say 20% was prly a higher number than should have been stated....however I do hope it works well....however realistically id say itll be more around 5-10% depending on game title.

I am not convinced yet re Mantle. Why wasnt it released earlier to co-incide with the release of the 290/x?
Surely if it gives u a 20% lead in Bf4 that's a key selling point?
Def interesting to see what happens. I didnt pick up a 290 in the end but if some games do get a 20% increase I might reconsider..

I have to say that a 20% improvement in games performance sounds more attractive that shuttery framerates with exclusive (poorly optimized) PhysX effects on NVIDIA hardware so my next graphics card could more than likely be an AMD one so long as they improve on their mediocre (and noisy) coolers and high GPU temperatures. I'm getting an Xbox One and PS4 and both of those have AMD GPUs as well.

It's great to See AMD/ATi Clawing its way back... I've Been a Long time "majority" Nvidia user but I'm Beginning to believe more and more everyday that AMD Will be my card of the future..

20% is a little lower than I was expecting as well, especially when it was worded to make that sound like a maximum amount.
Saying that, for those with compatible cards it will be a very noticeable improvement when it arrives.
It's good to hear they are targeting other GPU vendors, does make me wonder if they would also gain 20%.
If not and gcn still has an advantage then it might only offer a small advantage over the DX version.
Does make you wonder if DirectX could be improved to bring that 40% overhead down.

They said they will improve Dual Graphics (APU+DGPU) with Mantle but 90% of the AMD APU's aren't GCN, they are VLIW4. So how does it work?
