GDC 2014
- GDC 2014 session listings, reported on 26 February 2014, suggested DirectX and OpenGL would gain low-level hardware access, answering AMD's Mantle[1][2][3]
- A Direct3D session promised "an unprecedented level of hardware control and reduced CPU rendering overhead", asking developers to get closer to the metal[1][2][3]
- An OpenGL session with speakers from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA (Graham Sellers, Tim Foley, Cass Everitt, John McDonald) covered cutting driver overhead by up to 10x or more[1][2][3]
- PC Perspective speculated this pointed to DirectX 12; AMD said it supports lower-level APIs and would share Mantle's future at GDC, and timing and adoption remained unknown[1][3]

DSOGaming's own headline and 20 March 2014 publish date, falling squarely within the pin's stored GDC 2014 window (16-22 March), report DirectX and OpenGL catching up with Mantle's low-level hardware access, though the page itself could not be fetched to quote directly.
- [3]76%DirectX 12 and a new OpenGL to challenge AMD Mantle coming at GDC?pcper.com· Published Feb 1, 2014· 1% of score
PC Perspective's article confirms DirectX 12 and a new OpenGL were positioned to challenge AMD Mantle "at GDC," previewing sessions promising reduced CPU overhead and "up to 10x or more" less driver overhead - consistent with the pin's GDC 2014 dateline, though published about six weeks ahead of the show itself.[1]

Something missing or wrong? Say it in your own words: a link that backs this pin up, a different start or end date and why, or a fact it lacks or gets wrong. The AI checks it against this pin's sources, searches for better ones, and adds any page that backs you up. The pin's own sources still count most.
