DX12 isn't just hype, especially if you're a gamer. It's a low level API that will cause marked improvement.
Yeah, I remember Mantle. I used it with Thief and my R9 280 that I had at the time. With Mantle on, I saw a 20+ FPS improvement in game. That's pretty significant.
Mantle was AMD only though, whereas DX12 will be widely adopted, the same way that DX11, 10, 9 etc all were.

Mantle on:
That's the difference that a low level API can make.
