OpenGL vs D3D / Mantle.
No Frostbite3 engine game has came to OpenGL so I don't think this one will be the first. If it does it's a safe bet that it wouldn't run nearly as well as it's D3D/Mantle counter part on identical hardware.
If you want to game on a Mac, boot camp is your best option even if the game natively supports OpenGL / Mac in most cases but not all.
Some Macs come with some pretty darn powerful GPUs (i.e. 680m). Boot Camp Windows 7 or 8... those will play great.
I heard from a Mac user with an intel 5000 who said the game runs pretty stable on medium settings with a mild resolution (assuming 1366x768). ((He boot camp'd))
AMD has always been good about *nix support so Mantle coming to *nix doesn't seem out of the question. Quick google I didn't see anything jump out at me so I wouldn't hold my breathe for soon.... and even then that doesn't mean Mantle games will straight up work on *nix platforms but it should make it much easier for devs to make it work and/or power users to get it to work. That doesn't take into account not very many Macs have AMD/ATi cards... some Mac desktops do but other than that you'd be hard pressed to find an AMD/ATi GPU Mac in a "regular" user's hands.
*edit
Did find stuff about SteamOS and Mantle. So someday:

Bootcamp man. If they made a Mac version the Bootcamp version would play better... it's the story most of the time.
I forsee 0% chance of it coming to OSX; outside of the ways power users can get windows programs to run on any *nix.
*edit* LoL @ those views.. wow
* This wasn't posted long after the first article:
Intel approached AMD about access to Mantle

This probably means nothing for current computers is my bet though. - Anonymous11 years ago

You can also buy a car without a driverslicense but that doesn't mean you can blame the guy who sold you the car when you aren't allowed to drive it.
