NEAR MINT to MINT

I don't purchase any "Played" or ones with visible damage. This is strictly a collection to box away, so want the best condition that are Non-Graded.

Who would show a demo like that? The game looks great but isn't smooth at all. hopefully that is not an example of how poorly it runs. maybe they should turn the physx off

Yeah.. im a pretty big collector in other areas. Original Movie Posters and Sports Memorabilia, so I know the value of Mint and the rarity of Pristine.

I think it looked like shtt compared to other gameplay videos. It is on a console or on a crap PC.

It was a sticky, but the peasants revolted and demanded the admins to take it down.

Watched that the other day, pretty funny. Doesn't really change the fact that mantle is a wait and see.

Yeah, if ppl do not want to put in the extra work to code to it... then it will be a fail.

Strictly hype machine at this point. Really disgusting hearing some ppl foolishly talk about it on OCN like IT IS ACTUALLY HARDWARE and USING EXISTING CODE. lol WTF

LSU Coyote is excited about games utilizing Mantle for AMD's APUs!

I plan to test BF4 on my 5800K (or maybe 7800K) when BF4 launches.

This is what I'm excited for.. to test Mantle.

GTX Titan = FPS in BF4
GTX 780 = FPS in BF4
R9 290X = FPS in BF4
5800K/7800K = FPS in BF4

Take the delta between the district cards vs an AMD APU in BF4. Should be interesting IMO. Purely for Frame Rates and not Visual Fidelity.

BF4 will probably factor a lot into it. If they find it successful then others may follow. did they say they can license it out to nvidia?

I don't think it will. BF4 uses a FrostBite game engine.

The more popular engines out there would be Unreal, Anvil and Cryengine. You then take their variations.

Frostbite is the start yes, but a VERY small part of the video game sector uses such. IMO if a Steam box arrives in 1-1.5yrs and catches "Steam"(ghey i know), then it will totally kill Mantle. Simply because coders will give up on it because the need to squeeze everything from console APUs isn't worth as much.

Just my thoughts...

It's one of those things that consumers don't really have much say in. If developers like using it then they will. I guess a big question is if it is worth a shite at all.

Mantle isn't going to be out till December from what I remember.

Consoles are still going to out number steam boxes by a large margin, even if they do "pick up steam".
