DirectX 12 & Mantle – AMD Comment on new API – Exclusive Interview

The news of Microsoft’s new API has spread around the internet rather quickly, and despite there still being a little confusion regarding the API it’s going to be great news for PC gamer’s. In theory, it should provide huge reductions in the overheads which have long been associated with PC gaming, allowing a more console like API environment.

DX12 can only be a good thing for PC gaming, thanks to AMD, MS have finally pulled their fingers out and done something constructive.

Please keep up with the news. AMD has even come out and said that it's been working with MS for at least 5 years on this....so IF ANYTHING, it'd be easier to ASSUME that AMD made mantle because of the work they saw going on with DX12. (not that I think that that's the case....just more plausible is all).

nukeitall4444d ago

Actually, it is the other way around.

MS did something constructive, and AMD stole the show by releasing their own version after the fact and stole the thunder!

kingduqc4443d ago

Stop thinking tech is reactionary. It take years of development and it was planned long ago.

Pro tiPS: there will be DX13 in a few years.

DirectX needs to just drop dead so something else can take it's place. Be it OpenGL or Mantle, I don't really care. All I want is cross platform game releases and DirectX is in the way of that.

I hope Valve will be successful with their Steam Boxes, so that OpenGL+SDL takes a sizeable lead.

yarbie10004444d ago

Unless you're a game developer. Why do you care? It's an open market. Devs pick what they want. If DX needs to die and it sucks balls then people won't use it. If it works - then people will....and.....they do. But its pretty retarded to want a tech to die just because you have some infatuation with the company behind it.

Serg4444d ago

Well, you didn't read my comment. Else you would've noticed the reason for me wanting DirectX to go. DirectX is only available on Windows OS's, where as I would rather game on Linux. With DirectX there is no way for developers to support MacOS and Linux, just Windows, with OpenGL and Mantle (in the future), porting games to these platforms is trivial.

But yeah, why not bring fanboyism into this topic...

Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.

To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Jingsing33d ago

The stock mark is what makes Microsoft remarkable, They have convinced every institutional and retail investor to just keep piling money into them. Like many big tech giants they are just a big growing pyramid scheme. As long as people keep dropping money into ETF's that cover the market Microsoft will always be liquid. At the same time it is completely stifling innovation and competition. People need to start being more discreet in how they invest their money as it's killing the system.

Tanktopmaster9233d ago

Once they re-evaluate exclusive all will be fine….

S2Killinit33d ago

Riiiiight because people will just flock back to them for one or two games per year.

Jingsing33d ago

15+ years of bad performance is what they call irreparable in business. It is time for them to sell off the assets and get out of entertainment.

Tanktopmaster9233d ago

These declines are on the back of extra revenue received from releasing games like Forza horizon 5 on PlayStation. So I’m being sarcastic here when I said they should go back to exclusives. Killing off a revenue stream from Ps5 sales will only make things worse
