I wonder if Mantle will be such an API that makes graphical artifacts less likely… I haven’t heard anything about z-fighting, distortion, or artifacts yet.

I think for battlefield that is mostly true, however future applications where developers actually utilize the extra GPU draw calls available to them could make mantle invaluable for all systems… Only time will tell.

I’ve heard it’s just a better tool of getting console games to PC and benefited only the most anaemic of CPUs.
That, or it’s just the difference between d3d and OpenGl.
I hope neither are true.
