During Computex TAIPEI 2014, AMD showed off the performance difference between Microsoft’s DirectX and Mantle, and today the red team released a video from it. AMD used an AMD FX-8350 8-core CPU with an AMD Radeon R9 290X and the performance difference in Starswarm was around 50fps. While Starswarm ran in particular scenes with 2-4fps via DX11, the same benchmark on the same hardware ran with 55fps under Mantle. Enjoy the video after the jump!
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”
