According to http://www.techspot.com/news/54134-amd-launches-mantle-api-to-optimize-pc-gpu-performance.html http://www.techspot.com/news/54134-amd-launches-mantle-api-t...: "We've been told at the GPU14 Tech Day event that the Mantle API is open, so theoretically Nvidia could purpose the technology in their GPUs."
How feasible that is in reality is of course up for question. And I doubt that nVidia would be willing to implement an AMD-controlled API.
- AsymetricCom 13y agoProbably about as feasible as Intel implementing AMD64 CPU extensions.

- pavpanchekha 13y agoI seem to recall that Intel paid for that right with the SSE2 instruction set. Do you suggest something similar would have to happen? Please refrain from sarcasm as it adds little to a discussion and had the effect of insulting the previous poster.
- BuckRogers 13y agoThey can, but it may require a change to their hardware (we don't know yet). And if they do follow AMD's lead here to catch up on performance gains, AMD is in control of the API so they know exactly what's going to change when. Major coup for AMD. This is a CUDA that will affect all gamers.
- rektide 13y agomajor coup for AMD. This is a CUDA that will affect all gamers. Coup indeed, a violent bloody struggle for the throne if it involves bypassing the existing graphics APIs.
