It's sad people feel the need to let everyone know they're going to NVIDIA... on a driver release thread.

Nobody cares. Stop cluttering up a driver discussion thread and go discuss it somewhere else (or better yet, don't discuss it; stop wasting time by complaining and go get a NVIDIA GPU).

Want to know the best way to check if performance issues with Mantle are because of AMD or Dice? How about trying another game; there's quite a few games you could test with.

If the stuttering and low-performance persists on other games, then it's probably a safe bet AMD has some work to do. If it's just BF4... then it's obvious Dice has some work to do. Considering the broken mess BF4 launched as, it's pretty obvious where the blame is.

I understand you point. Anyway. This is AMD and not Apple, where always the Customer is the fool who is holding everything constantly wrong when complaining about some ridiculous bugs.

I am not holding it wrong and i dont even mentioned the very poor 14.9 Driver line where you get everything from total freeze, bluscreen, failed installation only from trying to install the driver.
The point is, i bought a game because i see the big AMD Mantle Crossfire Letters on the Promo and naively believed that this Game is optimized for my Hardware. I run two of the newest AMD GPUS with one of the most powerfull intel Cpus. Even the Game and OS runs from separate High Speed Samsung SSD. Therefore i thrown a buckload of money in my hobby to have some fun in spare time.

And then i get this mess what makes me an angry unsatisfied customer.

Yes. Mantle was smoother 90% of the time, but with occasional stutters. For me the main issue with Mantle is stability.

Also, the flickering issue when using Asus ROG Swift at 144hz was not fixed.

Have you tested with Mantle ?

It seems the Mantle Version is the same on this beta driver. I doubt they fix the mantle crossfire memory leak in BF4.

I give it a try. But i feel that my patience with AMD comes to an End. After over 10 years using AMD GPU/CPU´s i am nearly done with them. Tired of being third grade gamer. They promote AMD GPU´s with Mantle and BF4 and it simple dont work out. The Memory leaking is so blatant. First it eats the Vram then it eats up the System RAM and you end with stuttering 5 fps in Game.

I think they simple dont care. Time to buy a GPU from the Pros @ Nvidia.

I hate to say this but after many years I am too going for the Green team. There are so many problems AMD needs to deal with and I am tired of them. Besides its Ubisoft and their backing of NVIDIA products is enough for me to change side.

If NVIDIA backing Ubisoft is one of the reasons you're considering the jump, it just shows what marketing can do. Ubisoft produces some terribly optimized games across all GPU.

This forum is really going down-hill, so many trolls

I've used AMD mostly with PC gaming, the list of video cards i've used are:

Voodoo
Voodoo Banshee
Geforce 2 MX
9800 pro
8800GT
Ati 4970
AMD 6950 crossfired
and now my 7950

I have never ever had the amount of issues people like to scream about AMD, sometimes... it is sooooo bad I'm not sure if its just Nvidia Shills spreading F.U.D. (fear, uncertainty and doubt) or just zealot fanboys

In every thread about AMD / drivers there are people going on and on about how the grass is Greener with Nvidia , how they are going to switch, blah blah blah

people complain about computer issues they have, and attribute it to AMD

Ubisoft makes some of the worst PC Ports, if that makes you wanna switch to Nvidia.... you should re-consider and probably just buy a console.

I've been using AMD cards for few years, next one will be NVIDIA just because im bored with Red cards and want to try Green side once again, but... instead blaming AMD for releasing bad drivers why wont you blame game developers for not coding their products properly. It's stupid to blame AMD/NVIDIA for all game coders laziness/misakes.

I have the same card, and the driver it's not compatible, so, why it worked with yours?

Because game developers are prefect; especially Dice. BF4 wasn't a broken mess at launch; it was just the graphics driver being bad. Dice also implemented Mantle perfectly, and AMD obviously doesn't know how to handle their own API! /s

I think it's just part of a bandwagon. Or maybe people try to justify their game purchases; you spend $60+ on a game, you probably don't want to admit that game isn't optimized.

I upgraded from gtx560ti to amd 280x toxic and I still regret it.

- The flickering screens issues in LoL are still a problem for 7xxx users.
- The 14.9 drivers blue screens and random crashes (went back to 14.4).

I guess you are paying for decent drivers in the end.

What problems in LoL? I have no issues at all.
14.9 drivers blue screens and random crashes?

Dude we're on 14.11.1.

280x is 100x better than 560Ti lol, just use DDU and clean reinstall your drivers.

I have the Sapphire Dual-x 280X and the driver cannot be installed!!
I was able to install it manually as 7900 series only.
Any thoughts?
Thank you in advance!

Dude please use DDU to do a clean reinstall of new drivers.

I've been with AMD for some time, but it looks like the ship is sinking:
- it was fine while i used hd 4650, hd 5670 but the hd 7750 make me regret that i didn't went for hd 6770 or an nvidia gpu
- i don't have a decent upgrade path on am3+, the performance gain does not worth the price i have to pay (i don't overclock)

Those cards are absolute crap to begin with.

Sarcastic post right?

I went over to another site's Catalyst 14.11.1 thread; not a single NVIDIA-related post, and all driver-discussion. Not sure if they moderate better over there, or if the community is just better-mannered.

Don't forget how fantastic AC:IV runs, and Watch Dogs.

Finally! A Driver that doesn't crash my Powercolor 7990.

Assassin's Creed Unity performance is absolute crap though.

I also hate to say it but I'm selling my 7990 and getting two 970s (SLI)

I'm absolutely tired of AMD's Drivers problems and hot cards.

Not again!

About 15-25fps with single GPU (7970 Ghz)
25-45 with crossfire enabled and a crapload of stuttering and some graphical glitches (known problems of these drivers)

Visuals aren't anything special to run this bad in this game. I'm guessing it will run much better on nVidia cards. HBAO+ and MSAA are the worst performance eaters with my card.

Edit:

Performance isn't great on nVidia cards either, still much better than mine.
