AMD Mantle Update - Driver released to press - Initial Results
I promised to keep you guys up-to date. AMD has released a Mantle active driver to the press hours ago. So it will not be ling before the first results will appear. The driver apparently will with in Crossfire with BF4 but may have some issues. Below the current known issues list for the Mantle press driver.
Now I am not too interested in the issues as they will be solved, but it does tell the current state of what current product are actually supported, have a peek.
- Press evaluation build: Installing AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta atop an existing AMD Catalyst revision may cause a system hang. Ensure the provided installation instructions are utilized to avoid this issue.
- Intermittent stuttering or stability issues may occur when utilizing Mantle with AMD CrossFire technology in BattleField 4
- Mantle performance for the AMD Radeon HD 7000/HD 8000 Series GPUs and AMD Radeon R9 280X and R9 270X GPUs will be optimized for BattleField 4 in future AMD Catalyst releases. These products will see limited gains in BattleField 4 and AMD is currently investigating optimizations for them.
- Multi-GPU support under DirectX and Mantle will be added to StarSwarm in a future application patch
- Notebooks based on AMD Enduro or PowerXpress technologies are currently not supported by the Mantle codepath in Battlefield 4™
- AMD Eyefinity configurations utilizing portrait display orientations are currently not supported by the Mantle codepath in Battlefield 4™
- Graphics hardware in the AMD A10-7850K and A10-7700K may override the presence of a discrete GPU under the Mantle codepath in Battlefield 4
- AMD testing for the AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta has been concentrated on the following products: AMD Radeon R9 290X, R9 290, R9 280, R9 270, R7 260X, R7 260, HD 7000 Series, HD 8000 Series, A10-7850K and A10-7700K. Future AMD Catalyst™ releases will include full test coverage for all AMD products supported by Mantle.
Later on today I'll perform some initial testing and will share the results here in a small article. That's IF I do not run into any significant problems.
Update:
To get some tastebuds going here are some results.
And to show you that the driver really was issued (for press not public):
AMD Mantle will benefit Lower-End CPUs, not mainstream and high-end PCs. - 01/30/2014 10:05 AM
Guys as most of you know AMD will release a new driver real soon, this one coming with Mantle support. I just heard that the driver is delayed a bit more so it likely won't be today. However we are a...

Bolloks. The terrain deco. Bug is stilll there. People must be blind to not see it. Or are just to lazy to really test it.
And yes. Also with win 8. 8.1. Just look at battlelog. I also tested it a few mins ago at friends house. Win 8 @ 7850.
Medium and low is still ultra if u start with ultra and change then.
Even the trick Tj explained doesnt work for me.
I have to join the server with ultra and then change. And before the game ends. Of course back top ultra so i can set it back to low.meddium when the new map loaded..
I posted enough pictures to show this. Explosion craters. Tank craters and more..
Anyway.
Wheres dat mantle driver?
This isnt teh best start for something like this, someone could imagine..

Of course, you don't see any load bar after changing settings, not everything can be changed on the fly :!.
