Steam has a Star Swarm benchmark you can download which has a Mantle option.
With Mantle turned off I got 34 FPS. With Mantle turned on I gt 80 FPS.

Sweet. And if it's a standard backed into Windows then everyone will use it.

Nice, the only hook is Win10. But I guess we'll j ust have to bite that free bullet. I'm still trying to figure out 7. lol.
