CRYENGINE<\/span> is the latest ite\u00adra\u00adti\u00adon of the indus\u00adtry-lea\u00adding game engi\u00adne that has powered Crytek gam\u00ading titles sin\u00adce 2004.<\/p>\n

AMD<\/span>\u2019s Man\u00adt\u00adle API<\/span> makes crea\u00adting games for the PC<\/span> more effi\u00adci\u00adent than ever.

By alle\u00advia\u00adting com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adti\u00adon bot\u00adt\u00adlen\u00adecks and making effi\u00adci\u00adent use of exis\u00adting PC<\/span> hard\u00adware, Man\u00adt\u00adle helps impro\u00adve over\u00adall game performance.
\n\u201cAMD<\/span> is deligh\u00adted to bring Man\u00adt\u00adle sup\u00adport to the enorm\u00adous audi\u00adence of gamers and game deve\u00adlo\u00adpers rea\u00adched by Crytek\u2019s CRYENGINE<\/span>,\u201d said Rit\u00adche Cor\u00adpus, direc\u00adtor of ISV<\/span> gam\u00ading and alli\u00adances, AMD<\/span>. \u201cTog\u00ade\u00adther, AMD<\/span> and Crytek are for\u00adging a path for the gra\u00adphics indus\u00adtry that bet\u00adter uti\u00adli\u00adzes gamers\u2019 advan\u00adced AMD<\/span> GPUs through \u2018clo\u00adser-to-the-metal\u2019 API<\/span> design.\u201d<\/p>\n

The potent com\u00adbi\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon of Man\u00adt\u00adle and CRYENGINE<\/span> empowers game deve\u00adlo\u00adpers to acce\u00adle\u00adra\u00adte PC<\/span> deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment and extra\u00adct unpre\u00adce\u00adden\u00adted gam\u00ading per\u00adfor\u00admance, exclu\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adly from AMD<\/span> pro\u00adducts with Gra\u00adphics Core Next (GCN<\/span>) archi\u00adtec\u00adtu\u00adre<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Crytek pri\u00addes its\u00adelf on enab\u00adling CRYENGINE<\/span> with the latest and most impres\u00adsi\u00adve ren\u00adde\u00adring capa\u00adbi\u00adli\u00adties,\u201d said Cevat Yer\u00adli, Foun\u00adder, CEO<\/span> &<\/span> Pre\u00adsi\u00addent of Crytek. \u201cBy inte\u00adgra\u00adting AMD<\/span>\u2019s new Man\u00adt\u00adle API<\/span>, CRYENGINE<\/span> will gain a dimen\u00adsi\u00adon of \u2018lower level\u2019 hard\u00adware access that enables extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adna\u00adry effi\u00adci\u00aden\u00adcy, per\u00adfor\u00admance and hard\u00adware control.\u201d<\/p>\n
