It has been a long time coming but we take a look at early and initial Mantle performance. The upcoming 14.1 Beta driver will receive many improvements. At the simplest level, Mantle is an Application Programming Interface (API). In its current iteration, the Mantle API leverages the hardware in the Graphics Core Next architecture (GCN) of modern AMD Radeon.

I take it this means the Press has the driver, so we should expect it 24 hours later / Monday ?

Hilbert: where are the results for Kaveri+dGPU UltraHighQuality 4xFSAA?
You posted them in the last night front page and looked like this

Battlefield 4 Ultra Quality DX11 720P 1080P
AMD A10 7850K (IGP) DX11 20 10
AMD A10 7850K (IGP) Mantle 21 10
AMD A10 7850K (R9-290X) DX11 90 78
AMD A10 7850K (R9-290X) Mantle 150 86

Are missing in the article itself...

Also if i compare the results above and the table at page 2 (more results) in the second table it shows that Kaveri for some reason got better results than 3960X in 1080p...86fps vs 83 fps..

Can you confirm again the numbers...?

The specific numbers you mention have not been included as they need to be re-done. Please don't compare two different data-sets.

Everything posted is preliminary, and I am sure there are bound to be some anomalies with the specific Beta driver.
