AMD Mantle update...

[vario]

We are on Xtremesystems dude.
If you can buy a 600$ card, 100$ more on the CPU is not really a problem.
Don't forget, it's just the debut of Mantle, with only one game (almost) available.
I dunno for you, but I don't buy a CPU or GPU for only one (buggy) game.

So what, if we are at xtremesystems, and thats your "argument" shouldnt we talk only about 290X trifire with i7 4980X ? (which would get big gains on mantle btw)
Or was that dumb argument right there ?
About "having money" and ways to spend it, its not that easy as you make it to be, if you dont have to buy new cpu you can invest int more gpu power, and thats where mantle does good, and in effect you get more performance for less money.Also there are many problems building pc with a fixed amount of money,and no, not everybody thinks 100 or 180$ (thats the diff between 8350 and 4770K here) is "nothing".
Also, 290 and 280X for example are a lot cheaper, so another DRAMATIC argument there.
Of course nobody buys cpu or gpu for one game, but this thread is about mantle and not BF4, BF4 is just first beta iteration of it so thats why we are talking about it now.There are more coming.
You cant pick only situations that match your agenda and be like "Thats like things are globally".Not gonna respond more to arguments like this.


TO Olivion.
As for your link about 8350 oced to 5ghz and whatnot, you gave the link to DX version, heres mantle:

EDIT: Edited to have them side by side, MANTLE - DX
Also im not saying people should be buying FXes now for christ sakes, im saying they can buy cheaper intels and amd`s or just stay with what they got.
