Crytek's Cevat Yerli On Mantle: "With Mantle We Think That Real-Time Graphics Will Hit CG Quality"

During this year’s GDC, Crytek announced that CRYENGINE will support Mantle and Yerli claimed that with Mantle developers using CRYENGINE will be able to achieve CG quality graphics.

Do I need an AMD graphics card for Mantle? Does this mean I will have to sell my Geforce 770GTX?

[F4sterTh4nFTL]

Yes you need an AMD card for Mantle, but if you hold on to your Nvidia card for only 2 more years it will get DirectX 12 which is supposed to be like Mantle. Until then Mantle will be only utilised on AMD cards, but at least you get Nvidia Physx.

[Magicite]

Nvidia Physx is useless.

@dmitrijs88,

Says the guy with one bubble.

Physx is pretty nice in certain games. If it was supported more by devs you wouldn't be saying that.

[TheGreatAndPowerful]

Believe it when I see it but if true I'll be there day one.

[Qrphe]

This, we're far beyond believing devs' comments.

The Crysis tech demo was well beyond Crysis 3 itself. That tesselated frog never showed up in-game.

[RedDeadLB]

If it did, there wouldn't have been much gameplay going on at 10fps or lower.

[TitanUp]

believe the toad was a joke, anyways we will see what happens with mantle and dx12.

[Volkama]

If anyone can then it'll probably be crytek

[HighResHero]

At least we know that in their next Ryse tech demo the gameplay visuals may even match the amazing cut scenes.

[Illusive_Man]

And DX12 is even better than Mantle.....

[Gore-Content]

apperently, dx12 can sh't ice cream, too

[dantesparda]

@illusive

Prove it! I bet you when DX12 comes out and people can benchmark both, you are gonna get alot of back and forth between the two. And seriously guy, stop being such a fanboy, you a company shill?

[MysticStrummer]

"And DX12 is even better than Mantle…"

In what way? Everything I've read about the two says they are very similar, except that DX12 will run on more hardware when it finally releases. Neither one will benefit consoles nearly as much as PCs.

[thezeldadoth]

console guys love AMD all of a sudden

[incredibleMULK]

Bring back crysis 2 on PC deuschbag.

[Ashunderfire86]

We are already seeing CG like graphic on The Order 1886 for PS4,plus it will come out this year. Quantum Break also looks CG like too.

[calvincrack]

Yeah but guess what as long as the camera angles stay the same games are always going to look like games

[Pandamobile]

Well, that's sort of the point...

[Dragonopolis]

Microsoft never said Directx 12 is only for nvidia.... They did say that it will be compatible with all Directx 11 cards and its up the companies that make GPUs to support it - so AMD should benefit from it as well. AMD did announce last month that all GCN graphic cards will support support Directx 12....

http://www.amd.com/en-us/pr...

So I don't know why nvidia supporters are getting so worked up over Directx 12.... not like AMD GCN graphic card supporters are going to suffer. Just another option to give Developers a way of trying to squeeze more out of a graphic processor.

There is still a lot that hasn't really been discuss publicly about AMD Mantle, however, Developers seem optimistic about it. AMD has mentioned that Mantle is not similar to Nvidia's CUDA environment. Part CUDA's issues with Developers was that CUDA is a full computing architecture so does not work with Directx or Opengl. I believe Mantle can coexist with other graphic computing architectures and stays out of the way when not used (nvidia, intel, etc).

I guess all we can do is wait and see if all these new or updated architectures live up to their expectations .... any major improvement is a good thing whether your Nvidia or AMD.
