great news. i hope we won't have to go through entire series of bad drivers for every game when the api matures, though.

Crytek can support whatever they want, as far as I'm concerned I'm not buying any future game from Crytek only because of their lazy multiplayer support for games like Crysis 2 and Crysis 3. I love those games, especially Crysis 2 multiplayer (I still play C2mp from time to time), I've do a preorder of both games for me and my sons and few months after release multiplayer support for both games is almost dead: cheaters everywhere! I'm done with Crytek, they won't see any more money coming from me for any future multiplayer game...

Its not just Crysis that using CryEngine. If CryEngine supports Mantle, games that build on the engine should support Mantle as well. Mantle support probably aimed for CryEngine4. So... have a list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CryEngine#CryEngine_.284th_generation.29_2

Again, if they don't plan to release mantle support day one and only a few months later after release than there is not a real point to bother with it.

My comment was not about Mantle, it was pointed right to the Crytek and their awful multiplayer support for Crysis 2 and Crysis 3, (multi)players of C2 and C3 (I'm one of them) were nothing more than screwed. Thumbs up for Mantle, I support AMD's efforts to make better graphic API, also DirectX needs competition so I hope that Mantle will survive hard competition coming from MS and upcoming DX 12.0.

Wow, if Mantle is supported by CryEngine that's a big thing.. because there's so many games made with it.. o,O StarCitizen.. and mantle, imagine the vast space battles, and it would work much better.

CR already said that they will support Mantle "long" time ago. He also said that when they are finished with the engine, it ends up being so modified that it's barely CryEngine. 🤓

I think this is a pretty big announcement. With cryengine and frostbite AMD have support from probably 2 of.the.3 biggest game engines for the new gen of games. All they need now is for Epic to add mantle support into UE4.

^ I really don`t see UE4 with Mantle support,just because this engine is full with nVidia tech(GameWorks) and the engine is optimised for nVidia GPU`s,also CryEngine use some nVidia GameWorks librarys,Frostbite 3 is also a nice engine,for single player games coz the networking is just pure BS in MP part.

I don't see why they can not just add the mantle for UE4 when companies are already adding it to UE3. Nixxes the company behind Thief has added mantle to the game running on the UE3 engine.

I think he's talking about out of the box support. Anyone can add whatever they want to Unreal Engine because they give you the full source.

lol with DX12 about a year away and backwards compatible Mantle is already dead and I find it hard to believe it will be adopted much after DX12 is launched...not hatin just saying.

Until then, Mantle is here and will be used. What's so wrong with that? Or do we freeze everything for a year until DX12 materializes? It's not hard to understand why Nvidia users are not excited about Mantle now. They can't use Mantle on their Nvidia GPUs. What do we even know about DX12 yet anyways? We're not even sure it has the same impact as Mantle. Mantle is already here and its improvements have been demonstrated. AMD not only has no problem with DX12 taking over but actively support it. They also support the stay of Mantle if DX fails to take off now. Win-win.

dx12 games won't be launched before the end of 2015. either way, why not rejoice that there's an actual incentive for dx to evolve?

lol I am rejoicing...:banana: and ive tried mantle it has some work to go...my intel/NVidia system is still preferred over a mantle based rig... btw my system info clearly shows I have a 290 as well ;]

Are you for real or just trolling?

Funny how mantle is supposed to work, yet I know people with all AMD rigs and still hate life. 8320 with 7970 and have poor frame rates and poor scaling in BF4. Yet right next to that is a machine with a single 660 ti running smooth as silk. I am saying this not trying to troll but wondering why all the hype? I have yet to see any advantages this has over the NV cards?? I also get all the stories of how it will be a great thing because the new consoles running AMD, but what is that gonna do make it easier for developers to push us more crappy console ports?
