Exclusive: AMD Mantle API support coming to GTA V PC version (and othe


Recommended Posts

It may not be new to everyone, but nevertheless I decide to share this news to fans of GTA V and for those people who are waiting for GTA V PC version (mainly AMD users).


“GTA V PC” was the the World’s Most Expensive Video Game ever made (and could still be considering Destiny’s budget is now in question) and if it gets Mantle Support, it would be a massive win for AMD. There are other games that are “Mantle Support Pending” and contain some notable titles such as Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, but no title will make as big an impact as “GTA V PC”.

List of released and unreleased games that are queued for Mantle Support:

We already know which games have confirmed Mantle support so I wont go into those, but this information in its self is quite interesting. I already gave my opinion in an editorial that the logical choice for any developer whether he is on team DX12 or not would be to utilize Mantle API right now. This is because Mantle API can be easily ported to DX12 if the developer so wants after release. So there is literally zero reason for any developer to not-utilize Mantle API right now, regardless of where his loyalties lie. Getting Mantle API in “GTA V PC” could be one of the major steps that Mantle takes to become a competitor to DX12 that is here to stay.

Of course this is not just about Mantle, the low level API in an open world game such as Grand Theft Auto could make one helluva difference for low-mid end rigs. GTA is all about Modding and the low level api would only help drive this dream further with more elaborate and resource intensive mods. So fingers crossed and lets wait and see whether the above titles and “GTA V PC” get Mantle Support.

Bullsh*t, please don't believe in clickbait bullsh*t. Do you not remember the ''Max Payne 3 team is developing GTA V on the PC'' or the ''The PC port is being developed alongside the old gen consoles''
