Are there any more games planned for this?

Are there any more games planned for this?

There better be, because it made my old as fuck first gen i5 and a low-mid tier GPU relevant again.

Considering that Nvidia is literally paying developers not to use it, no.

GTFO newfag, you're like 15 years too late to understand how the tech industry works. Especially Nvidia and Intel.

vulkan breaks retroarch so Im never using it

Yeah, because Nvidia totally is publicly advertising their anticonsumer methods and bribing and what not

>BUY AMD GUYS VULKAN API OMG
>AMDshills forgot about the failure called mantle

>Mantle
>failure

Nope, both D3D12 and Vulkan are esentially Mantle 2.0. It won and took over the industry.

They do, it's called nvidia gameworks

your shit is still irrelevant if there are no vulkan gaems

loser

It won the same way an organ donor becomes a billionaire by dying in a car crash

For code that's fine because anyone who invested the time to learn Mantle now has a head start on learning Vulkan and it will be fairly easy for developers to add support for Vulkan to games using Mantle.

Also one side benefit is that unlike in the past where porting from Direct3D to OpenGL was difficult and often resulted in slow downs due to fast paths in D3D not being fast paths in OpenGL and vice versa Vulkan and D3D12 are very similar so the process of bringing games from one to the other is much simpler and more likely to produce good results.

Actually is Mantle 0.8
>Mantle without GCN native functions (shader intrinsecs, AMD™ patented Async Compute -> Not works on FL 12_1 Nvidia and Intel Gpus)

Here's how it goes.

>Oh, hey developers, we'll give you access to all these awesome effects and documentation, and make sure your game will run great on 80% of the GPU market!

>Just one thing, you can't be on Vulkan ;)

Check, AMD is the REAL (and complete) DX12 rajesh

Memelake can't do Async Compute
Goyvidya can't do Async Compute

Luckily, AMD are still two generations behind on drivers, CPU overhead and power consumption.

>yfw 490 comes out and needs 300w

I get the GPU thing. AMD futureproofed and it's paying off. But if you think AMD is within 10 years of catching up to Intel, you're kidding yourself. The R&D budget for intel is 3 times AMD's GROSS income, and even they are struggling for improvements. And Zen just got delayed again.

Lets hope for all our sakes it gets some more development behind it.

Reminder that it's literally AMDs fault for these retarded CPU and GPU prices.

For fucks sake, two of the largest tech companies have a VESTED INTEREST in the company not going bankrupt and it still fucking loses money.

>Async Compute
buzzwords fuelled by fanboys. No dev is willing to come out and talk specifics, even AMD reps dance around Pascal and "Async".

Intel is struggling for improvements because they've started to run into the limitations placed on processors by the laws of physics for single threaded applications and Intel made the choice to push single threaded performance over multithreaded to screw AMD over. Now they have to start pushing multithread performance but they have a pricing structure built around 4 core parts in the mainstream with 6 or 8 core parts being restricted to the enthusiast segment.

AMD on the other hand is struggling for improvements because years ago when they had an R&D advantage Intel screwed them over locking them out of premium machines. AMD still haven't recovered from that but the upshot now is that even without the massive R&D budget they now still have more room to speed things up. Plus their more free to do things like take a six core part and sell it for $150 vs 2 and 4 core parts.

AMD is cancer. If only they'd die quickly so anti trust laws would kick into effect and come down on Novidia and Intel.

>expecting anti-trust laws to be enforced

Do you forget that the US has a legislature dominated by Republicans and is about to elect one for President? Anti-trust laws aren't going to do jack shit.

If AMD dies Intel will be an absolute monopoly and if that happens you can kiss Nvidia good bye as well. Intel could go with the plan they've kicked around a few times to only sell processors surface mounted to motherboards with cooling that can't be replaced, with those boards only including PCIE slots for video cards on the high end.

>Do you forget that the US has a legislature dominated by Republicans and is about to elect one for President?
Killary is going to be elected though, and she's every bit as pro-big business as Trump

As I said a Republican is going to be elected.

these threads are maximum retarded. fortunately this isn't reddit or everyone in here would truly make themselves look like a complete moron. take it from an actual rendering programmer: none of you know what you are talking about, just shut the fuck up, it's extremely pathetic.

I hope not.

If Anti-Trust laws were going to be enforced, they would have been enforced against Intel a decade ago when they locked Nvidia out of the chipset business for Intel CPUs robbing them of their best earning division at the time, or when Intel illegally forced OEMs to not ship AMD chips when they were faster, or when Intel attempted to force everyone onto Itanium for 64bit, or when Intel among others successfully lobbied to remove the restrictions on military acquisitions making single-vendor monopoly products ok.

Never forget that the only reason we had a choice in processors in the first place was the US Military's older more sane rules about buying stuff in the 70s.
