Mantle still doesn't solve input, audio, and a number of other services that DirectX provides in a unified way. Also, potentially AMD only, which has a smaller share than both Intel and nVidia.
- BuckRogers 13y ago100% share of the next-gen console though, which is what counts for gaming.
- teamonkey 13y agoI'm not sure that matters too much, to be honest. Mantle probably isn't coming to the consoles because they have their own direct architecture. If you develop for PC you want to maximize market share so you need to ask if it's really worth supporting another graphics API for a performance boost on the #3 vendor.
- Narishma 13y agoAll those other DirectX parts have been deprecated for a long time now. The only thing still being used is Direct3D.
- teamonkey 13y agoNot true. Many deprecated components were replaced with other components that are part of the DirectX package and are still used. DirectSound -> XAudio/XACT DirectInput -> XInput Etc.
