Mit Sid Meier\u2019s Civi\u00adliza\u00adti\u00adon: Bey\u00adond Earth<\/em> wird am mor\u00adgi\u00adgen Frei\u00adtag die Fort\u00adset\u00adzung der sehr belieb\u00adten run\u00adden\u00adba\u00adsier\u00adten Stra\u00adte\u00adgie\u00adspie\u00adle erschei\u00adnen. Bereits zum Start unter\u00adst\u00fctzt das Spiel, wel\u00adches zu AMDs Gam\u00ading-Evol\u00adved-Pro\u00adgramm geh\u00f6rt, die neue Man\u00adt\u00adle-API. Damit die\u00adse auch genutzt wer\u00adden kann, ist die Instal\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon des Cata\u00adlyst 14.9.2 Beta<\/a> zwin\u00adgend not\u00adwen\u00addig, den AMD<\/span> im Lau\u00adfe des mor\u00adgi\u00adgen Tages ver\u00adf\u00fcg\u00adbar machen will.

Zu den Zie\u00adlen der Man\u00adt\u00adle-Imple\u00admen\u00adtie\u00adrung hat sich John Kloetz\u00adli, Prin\u00adci\u00adple Gra\u00adphics Pro\u00adgramm\u00ader f\u00fcr Bey\u00adond Earth, wie folgt ge\u00e4u\u00dfert:<\/p>\n

By redu\u00adcing the CPU<\/span> cost of ren\u00adde\u00adring, Man\u00adt\u00adle will result in hig\u00adher frame rates on CPU-limi\u00adt\u00aded sys\u00adtems. As a result, play\u00aders with high-end GPUs will have a much cris\u00adper and smoot\u00adher expe\u00adri\u00adence than they had befo\u00adre, becau\u00adse their machi\u00adnes will no lon\u00adger be held back by the CPU<\/span>. On GPU-limi\u00adt\u00aded sys\u00adtems, per\u00adfor\u00admance may not impro\u00adve, but the\u00adre will still be a con\u00adsidera\u00adble drop in power con\u00adsump\u00adti\u00adon. This is par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar\u00adly important given that many of the\u00adse sys\u00adtems are lap\u00adtops and tablets. The redu\u00adced CPU<\/span> usa\u00adge also means that back\u00adground tasks are much less likely to inter\u00adfe\u00adre with the game\u2019s per\u00adfor\u00admance, in all cases.<\/p>\n

Final\u00adly, the small\u00adness and sim\u00adpli\u00adci\u00adty of the Man\u00adt\u00adle dri\u00adver means that it will not only be more effi\u00adci\u00adent, but also more robust. Over time, we expect the bug rate for Man\u00adt\u00adle to be lower than D3D<\/span> or OpenGL. In the long run, we expect Man\u00adt\u00adle to dri\u00adve the design of future gra\u00adphics APIs, and by inves\u00adt\u00ading in it now, we are hel\u00adping to crea\u00adte an envi\u00adron\u00adment which is more favorable to us and to our customers.<\/p>\n

If you play [Civi\u00adliza\u00adti\u00adon: Bey\u00adond Earth] for 40 hours, you\u2019ve built an enorm\u00adous empire. There\u2019s a huge amount going on, bes\u00adi\u00addes just the\u00adse tac\u00adti\u00adcal batt\u00adles. We do allow you to zoom out quite far. [\u2026] When you back up, you see your who\u00adle empire at once. That\u2019s deman\u00adding. That\u2019s when the per\u00adfor\u00admance, typi\u00adcal\u00adly, in PC<\/span> stra\u00adtegy games beg\u00adins to go down. This is exact\u00adly the situa\u00adti\u00adon whe\u00adr\u00adein we\u2019re incre\u00addi\u00adbly exci\u00adted about Mantle.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
