I would guess its very similar to BF4 in terms of performance because it basically is BF4 with cops and robbers.

The final build could get async compute. It will be boost the performance in GPU-limited scenarios.

Probably all new EA games which are Frostbite 3 based will support Mantle. Which will be most new high-end EA games.

Star Wars: Battlefront
Battlefield: Hardline
Dragon Age: Inquisition
Mirror's Edge
Mass Effect
Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare
Need for Speed: Rivals

The three games announced were BF Hardline, Dragon Age Inquisition, and PvZ Garden Warfare. Nothing else was said about other games supporting Mantle.

Basically every Frostbite 3 game can support Mantle. The render back-end is now in the engine, so it is only a checkbox now. They just need to click on it, and the game can use Mantle. Of course they need to test it, and fix the potential problems, but the hard work was done by DICE/Frostbite.

Hello everyone,

We just published a blog which expands on which EA games will support our Mantle API, take a look.

[FONT=&quot]"[/FONT][FONT=&quot]On June 9 EA announced that three of its upcoming games would support Mantle: Battlefield Hardline, Dragon Age Inquisition and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare. Each of these brings new features, maps and gameplay to already-popular franchises. If the results we saw with Mantle in Battlefield 4 are anything to go by, these games should absolutely fly on AMD Radeon™ hardware"[/FONT][FONT=&quot]On June 9 EA announced that three of its upcoming games would support Mantle: Battlefield Hardline, Dragon Age Inquisition and Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare.

I believe it will be ;). It's a Cops vs Robbers in urban settings. The game is developed by Visceral Games instead of Dice.

Few Mantle games does not mean much in the big picture (other than dominating the headlines),
but 20 or 30 games would be a real asset for AMD.

How about insisting that as more as possible of incoming games support Mantle? How about forming a dedicated team (or two or three) and revisiting already published games (so called CPU pigs).

That blog doesnt really say anything new. In fact it makes it seem *less* likely that all frostbite 3 games will support mantle. Otherwise, why would they single out specific games instead of just saying: "all future FB3 games will support mantle"?

BTW, is mantle working yet on first gen GCN? Seems that question just sort of slipped through the cracks. I have a HD7770 and would like to try it. Not really interested in BF whatever, but would like to try it perhaps on DAI, although with such a weak gpu I dont think it will benefit much, since I cant think of a game I have played so far in which I am cpu limited.

Because those games were the ones announced by EA at E3? And they don't have a cast iron guarantee of anything?

Or do you want AMD to announce things on EA's behalf?

Maybe the new Mass Effect and Mirror's Edge will just go DX12 since they are far enough away, who knows. Or should AMD announce Mantle when EA didn't say it and the games don't even have release dates other than speculative 2016?

DICE have indicated that Frostbite 3 games will probably support Mantle since it's pretty easy. But since some of these games are 2016, and DX12 might be around, it might not be necessary, so they would probably either have DX12 or Mantle, maybe both, but who can say for sure. Just that it's likely based on what's been said and what EA have announced to date that Mantle is likely.

Hi f1sherman,

I agree with you, and I hope to see more and more games added as we move forward. At the moment, I can't share any more details about future games, but we're doing our best to offer Mantle to any developer interested in taking advantage of our API.

it has been working on all gcn cards since release. it worked beautifully on my 7970 and is mind blowing on my 290.

the gcn 1 cars were just not officially optimized but it does work.

Hopefully more games will use Mantle and hopefully we'll soon get some new GPU's from AMD and Nvidia as well. Tired of the old technology GPU's being around for 2 years and just being rebranded.

It makes no sense to revisit most older games to beef them up, most of the income is generated early on in the life of a game (except for MMOs etc).

If they fix Crysis 3 for example, is it gonna make Crytek or AMD more money? Or rather they focus on the game engines (Crytek is using it as they said) that will make all the future games.

I'm impressed with the amount of support Mantle is getting. Kudos to AMD for taking advantage of their APU's and console positions. It's ironic to me that the developers are seemingly supporting Mantle better than AMD itself (given that the majority of their discrete GPU's currently cannot take advantage of Mantle). It will be interesting to see how Mantle lives along side DX12, and will also be interesting to have performance comparisons.

This would be very nice. DICE is working on it for some time.

Lots of Future Games will be Mantle READY especially FrosBite Engine Games and CryEngine oNes :D


animated gifs deleted.

Yeah. I was at GDC this past March attending the session where Cevat Yerli (CEO and Founder of Crytek) made the official announcement. Was great to see the reaction of the audience, and I'm very eager to see for myself the CryENGINE at work.
