AMD Mantle API Performance Analysis With Radeon R7 260X, R9 270X, R9 280X

The Mantle drivers have been released and now available to download (please visit this page for download links and change log for the Catalyst 14.1 BETA driver). The patch for Battlefield 4 was released a few days ago which added Mantle support to the game but public was unable to use the API until the drivers were out at AMD’s end. We stated in our previous article that AMD would provide press with an exclusive testing time ahead of official launch. We were provided the BETA drivers by AMD a few hours ago and had only limited time in our hands for testing Mantle in a few games with AMD’s GCN enabled graphics cards which include the Radeon R7 260X, R9 270X and R9 280X.

I haven't been following the news lately, and I'm thinking about building a new gaming PC next to my console. Does anyone have tips what components I should use? I'm thinking about 1000€ (+ max 100€ extra if it's worth it), which should equal 1000$ as the price of hardware is pretty much always 1€=1$.
I'm not yet sure if I should go with Nvidia or AMD. Will Mantle really be used in the future? Did any other developer beside Dice confirm to include it into their game?
It's also important for me that the complete PC isn't too loud during heavy gaming session. I'm just using one FullHD Display, no fancy setup (like 3 Displays or whatever). So any recommendations? Is there probably a new generation rumored to be released soon (worth waiting?)?
I'm thankful for every advice :)

You already have a display, or is that part of the €1000 ?

That's quite a lot to spend, you can get a beast of a PC. I'd personally build around an i7 and a (non-reference) R9 290 for that money.

For 1080p there are options across nVidia and ATi at different price points though, that resolution isn't hard to hit. I would personally go AMD, but only because I like the way they keep prices down and think they deserve support for that.

There is always a new generation of hardware just around the corner. Always.

Dark_Vendetta4155d ago

Thanks for the reply. Yes I already have a Display, no need for an upgrade.
The only reason I thought I would go with Nvidia is because of the extrem noisy fans AMD is using. After searching for "non reference" AMD Cards, I think I found the solution ;).
Guess you're right with the new gen always around the corner. So no need to wait ;)
Thanks again

Oh and Mantle is supported in some 20odd games in development at the moment. All future Frostbite 3 games, for starters.

Too early to say whether it will be supported long-term.

Hmm, didn't realize the 290X is so expensive, $200 Premium over the GTX 780, all because bit/lite/dogecoin mining?

I may have to look into this for my rig.

The director of the original Silent Hill: “I look forward to seeing bold interpretations.”

Keiichiro Toyama—the creator and original director of the 1999 Silent Hill—shared his personal thoughts on the recently announced remake by Konami, reflecting on what the project means to him after more than two decades:
“I felt something similar when the game was adapted into a movie. It deeply moved me to see the names of the characters and locations I had created come to life visually, even though I wasn’t directly involved. That wouldn’t have been possible without the continued support of the fans and the dedication of the developers who’ve kept the series alive.
I’m really looking forward to seeing how the remake evolves this time. With the advanced technology we now have, I’m sure I’ll be surprised by how the game is reimagined. Since the original was built for the first PlayStation, there will naturally be challenges—like the camera and controls—but I’m eager to see bold and creative solutions to those elements.”

Haha Not only is bold and creatively not what the industry wants, it’s not what most people want.

They want to get scammed and pay twice for a thing they already own.

Hope they use his vision in the game

Was the SH2 remake even bold? Or was it more or less just a 1 to 1 over the shoulder remake?
