AMD Catalyst 14.1 BETA 1.6 (13.350.1005.0 January 31)

Battlefield 4:

DX11.1
Avg: 52.393 - Min: 35 - Max: 100

Mantle

Avg: 60-75 - Min: 57 - Max 117

Starswarm Demo:

DX11.1

Avg: 20.11 FPS

Mantle:

Avg: 63.12 FPS.

Pretty impressive gain for not fully supporting my card yet.

 

Star Swarm
DirectX
Average FPS: 36.77
Mantle
Average FPS: 46.9

No surprise but hey, at least BF4 "feels" better I am a happy camper.

 

WTF THEY ARE OUT.. o,O OMG. O M F G.

 

Alternative Links PLEASEEEEEEE
Download won't start, don't be selfish

 

If it's showing you 72fps then it's running at 72 fps no problem.

Will post up results in a sec. DX11 vs mantle.

and eclap if you're reading this then it looks like I'm getting a 2nd 7950 after all, an asus dcu2 top v2. :thumbup: auuwwyeee man rofl.

 

this driver increased directx11 perf too:

tomb raider ultimayte settings +3-4 fps
street fighter x tekken : 59.9995 fps (59.8 something with last driver)
battlefield 4 +2 fps (dx11 ultra + all setings to the max) - mantle + 18 fps

nice driver so far

 

This ****'s awesome.

 

Lel. I modded the driver so Mantle would work with my laptop. I can enable Mantle in BF4 and in Starswarm, but if I want to start them, they are crashing .exe has stopped working. Well, was a nice try.

 

Nice Driver BF4 runs smooth , also nice extra fps
but the odd stuttering

 

Anyone else with r9 290 cards in crossfire have it working? No DX11 game works in crossfire for me anymore, instant crash of PC or game.

 

AMD Mantle Beta driver is currently supported on:
AMD Radeon™ R9 Series GPUs
AMD Radeon™ R7 Series GPUs
AMD Radeon™ HD 7000 Series GPUs
AMD Radeon™ HD 8000 Series GPUs

 

Guys, i installed the drivers (clean install btw) and i'm getting BSOD on boot. Any help?

 

bf4 minimum fps realy difference...

 

You wan't belived.
I just turn ON the Mantle And...
30fps all the time, only 60 when look at sky or wall.
perfoverlay.drawgraph shows CPU at the 40ms, while GPU is at 20ms.
As soon as I turn DX the fps go to 45-60fps depending on location, but graph looks more "stable" and CPU as GPu stays at 20-22ms. Game is more smooth on DirectX.
Somethings is wrong, AMD in changelog inform that performance on 7000 will be signifant better and it will change in future updates, but in my scenerio its UNPlayable.

I'm gonna check Mantle on StarSwarm benchmark, to see if its only in BF4 or compabillty Mantle and my graphics card.

 

Hd 7000 series ate not fully compatible with mantle and not optimised for bf4 yet so next drvier should di the trick for you

 

Clean install here...BF4 with mantle activated => 2-3 fps in both SP and MP, cpu/gpu @ 100% load and my system starts performing like a Nokia 3310. Guess I'll have to wait for the next driver.

 

AMD recommends to uninstall old drivers first, they actually wrote
"Current driver MUST be uninstalled before updating to AMD Catalyst™ 14.1 Beta driver."
With capitular MUST I guess I will uninstall this time first.

 

This driver makes my screen have a reddish tinge. I found that the color temperature comes set to 6400K (and resets to that) but the default button sets it to 6500K. 6500K gives me the normal colors without the red tinge.

Edit: Awww ... no mantle for me?

 

I've just tested StarSwarm, heres my Results.

DirectX
== Results ================================================
Test Duration: 360 Seconds
Total Frames: 11402

Average FPS: 31.67
Average Unit Count: 4383
Maximum Unit Count: 5556
Average Batches/MS: 511.89
Maximum Batches/MS: 1315.29
Average Batch Count: 18509
Maximum Batch Count: 123732

Mantle
== Results ================================================
Test Duration: 360 Seconds
Total Frames: 15944

Average FPS: 44.29
Average Unit Count: 4505
Maximum Unit Count: 5616
Average Batches/MS: 907.77
Maximum Batches/MS: 2470.97
Average Batch Count: 22150
Maximum Batch Count: 153159


So, from this I can say that, Mantle in Battlefield 4 isn't optimized for me.
StarSwarm benchmark with Mantle running gives me ~40% improvments. Knowing that, and that next driver will fix 7000 series
I'm Ok, waiting for Thief then
Battlefield 4 will be running on DirectX. But I must say, that I'm little dissapointed in EA/DICE. Just Glad, that R7,R9, Kaveri users are happy

 

i can confirm that this drivers are working on my hp 4530 probook S laptop with SG graphics.7470M + intel hd 3000.....
