    Despite their GeForce branding, these aren't really meant for gaming. CUDA developers may see this as a must-have.

    Something was lost in translation. DX12 i a "facilitator" API which brings programming closer to the metal. It is similar to Mantle and uses many of the same concepts but is, under no circumstance,...

    I actually want to know if AMD's frame pacing can be easily carried over into Mantle apps. If that doesn't happen, minimum FPS or not, the experience will be a disaster at higher framerates.

    I have to agree with that.

    AMD was claiming 300% improvement for the Starswarm demo.

    45% is for BF4 with the A8 7600.

    To me, that's particularly important since even a 15% bump in...

    They can do whatever they want. Power consumption isn't an issue with the HD 7990 and GTX 690 requiring 300W+. At this point, the problem is heat.
