Mantle does not block Nvidia driver optimizations at game or driver level, unlike GameWorks. Its completely different really, not even remotely similar.

Matt you miss the point mantle was designed to side step the directs driver stack and exclude Nvidia. Technically it's not the same thing but from a business tactic point of view it's identical; use proprietary technology to gain a commercial edge. It's healthy, amd just needs to respond with a similar technology suite or rather they should if they hadn't fired most of their driver devs when amd bought ati..
Log-in or register to permanently change your layout setting.
Because it's proprietary and only Nvidia can exploit it, and AMD Mantle is what then if it's not proprietary and hence bad for gaming?
I hate double standards, a clear case of sour grapes. If AMD and Nvidia products remains up to leading edge standards they will be supported by developers making leading edge games.
