Mantle. Mantle API is open source, can make porting games between pc vs and consoles better and easier. So its a win win situation for PC gamers [better port from console], console gamers and developers

I understand that about mantle, but the doubt I had was how long it will take for the games to be developed using mantle API?
And also I heard games for the consoles are made on pc right?? Even the console game demos are run on PCs during expos?? So porting the game to pc till now didnt have anything to do with api?
Isnt the only problem that console ports to pc face are controls ?
So this shouldnt this be helping for porting of games from pc to console better and not the other way around??
Is it not the case that most console games are not ported to pc to retain their exclusivity?? and not because of difficulty in porting??
And what about the optimization efforts (which mostly result in the game looking less beautifull) that are required now for a game to play smoothly? Wouldnt they be avoided by g-sync?
And Another thing I dont understand about mantle vs g-sync is, Which is more important raw power to churn out more frames? or Display the frames consistenly to the naked eye?
since i heard in the vlogs on nvidia expo that even a mid end kepler card can produce smooth gameplay using g-sync when compared to a sli or cross fire setup which has inconsistent frame rate?

R9-280x as of now if i see in smc international is priced at a very nice and affordable ~25K for the performance it claims to provide, GTX770 is gonna choke in next quarter if nvidia does not looksup to a fair price cut, at 20K the GTX760 is still the best buy.

MSI R9 270X HAWK Graphics Card is priced at 18K in smc, where GTX 760 is a good 8% faster than this card with 2k more, while GTX660 ti been only 1% faster and the 270X barely beats the 7950 at a lower price range, so as of now 7950 owners no need to upgrade and 760 is a more reasonable choice.

Thanks AMD, love you too.

 

[vickybat]

780 has received a massive price drop of $150.
770 is now available for $329.

Suddenly nvidia is again starting to make some sense.

All eyes on 780-ti's performance now.

[sam_738844]

780 at $499+same Titan cooler+awesome build+great temps = mind blown

i guess they should have brought down 770 to $315, which would deliver THE MOST sound perf/dollar competition with 280X, again with OC apples to apples it is still better than 280X by a good margin across all games average. only the 100$ gap was killing it, there was no point in buying it until now.

 

[vickybat]

^^ Actually i would say now 770 is back in the game. R280X performs 5-6 fps lower than 7970 ghz edition as it lacks the powertune boost.
770 used to be 2-3 fps faster than 7970 ghz edition in most tests and sometimes performed at par. So 280x is going to perform even lower out of the box.

So 770 makes a lot of sense now. Lets see if its priced around 25k in India.
