    On my 290x I get a strange hitching every now and again. It's not constant, but is annoying. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the driver, but same problem. I do have a custom user.cfg in BF, so I will remove it and see if it helps.

    Performance is great. On my 27" 120Hz 1080p, all settings maxed, I get high 80's, without Mantle I was in the high 70's. Without any AA modes, i'm always over a constant 120FPS.

    I'm still getting grey screen with Star Swarm. Seems to be related to HD 7850, since all the ones reporting the bug is on 7850. EDIT: Not only on 7850.

    Anyone with Star Swarm working could help me follow these steps and show me what redistributables you have installed?

    Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program > Sort by name by clicking the Name tab > Scroll to Microsoft Visual C++ > Take a screenshot of all the redists with the version numbers. Thanks.

    got 3 rounds with mantle with my 7970 lightning. seems not to have a fps increase but if there is nothing special about this 3 rounds it feels smoother.


    When i'm being paid i always do my job through.

    I thought it seemed smoother to, that's funny.

    Can anyone do a picture comparison? I have seen examples on other forums where Mantle reduces the quality a lot.

    It's supposed to be a bug, makes some places too bright. People who have taken the pictures to Photoshop reports that the objects are still there, just too bright.

    Btw, if anyone has issue with going to "Options" in BF4 crashing the game, someone in battlelog forum found that it has to do with having Intel integrated graphics (in addition to a Radeon), it has to be disabled in Windows device manager.

    Did any other sites do any meaningful array of tests ? Anandtech is pretty much a joke ,guru3d isnt too comprehensive also.
    Anyhow two shots of task manager DX and MANTLE which explains somewhat higher scores using mantle:


    CPU usage goes considerably UP.

    So has anyone else had a slight pause or stutter every few minutes in battlefield. I'm trying to work ouy if it's just my PC or a beta driver issue. I'm on windows 8.1 and it's a fresh copy.

    Ok I installed it last night on my current rig which is 3930k@4.6GHz and 290x @1080/1500

    As far as I can see my fps is pretty much the same as before... And it might be smoother but really I couldn't tell the difference lol

    Might be an overloaded server...

    That happens to me on specific 64p servers which I then avoid

    Looks like it's a common issue. Still it is only a beta version.

    I'm holding back until the official driver for the moment. I've never been too keen on beta drivers except in rare cases.

    Yeah I couldn't tell if it was a placebo affect or what...but it seemed like the lighting when using Mantle was 'dull' in BF4?

    Sorry double post, but I agree with you completely Sparky...AMD just wanted us to see that the benifits of Mantle are very real and will certainly bring benefits if supported by developers.

    Take these beta drivers for what they are...A Technology Demonstration and we are the Beta testers .

    This may sound dumb, but sometimes we miss the simplist of things. You did close down the game and restart it after enabling Mantle. It's just that your system and mine are fairly close in terms of hardware and I did notice a difference in performance and smoothness. (Except for the odd stutter or pause)

    err..thinking about it now, i dont think i did, most of the video settings are set on the fly, so i just changed the renderer, then started playing, during playing i was toying around with AA, 2x and 4x to see if I could find any performance difference since those settings were making a difference I assumed that the renderer setting was also set properly.

    You are correct though I should have restarted the game, I was pretty peeved with the CRU utility which I use to add custom refresh rates (which I have to do every driver update, because atimagwhatever needs to be patched) because it took me 3 restarts to get the custom refresh rates in. I will try it again tonight after i get back to work. thanks for that

    I get absolutely no stutter in single player...I even used 'perfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable' to output my frame-times for about 5 minutes and I never had a spike in frame-time. Now, that's with crossfired 7970s and obviously they did all the tweaks for the Hawaii GPU so there might be something there.

    Best way to find out is to play Single player and enable the "frame file log" and see if you have any spikes in frame-time. Do it for both DX and Mantle to see if the Mantle spikes are consistent with DX, if not then new anomaly has been introduced by Mantle.

    One other issue i'm currently having is I can't get any OSD to display in BF4 with Mantle. No Radeon Pro or Afterburner. I see others don't have this issue, so it must be related to me. I am running Battlefield in 64bit mode, if anyone else gets this.
