bf4 mantle boost is for 290 and 290x only currently.

Link?

i wonder what is the diference between win7 and win8.1, since win8.1 should be little lighter on cpu too right ? Hope we will se some tests soon.

Test case 2: Standard 64-player multiplayer CPU: AMD FX-8350, 8 cores @ 4 GHz GPU: AMD Radeon 7970 3 GB (AMD will add support for the AMD Radeon™ HD 7970 in a later stage of Mantle’s release schedule, learn more) Settings: 1080p ULTRA 1x MSAA OS: Windows 8 64-bit Level: Siege of Shanghai Level was tested with 64 “pseudo players” that we have for our own internal testing that simulates heavy game workload that we have in multiplayer in order to get more deterministic results compared to full real multiplayer. 64 players on the large Battlefield levels is really demanding of the CPU so this test case is primarily CPU-bound. Result: 18.87 ms/f -> 15.08 ms/f = 25.1% faster

Test case 3: High-end single-player with multiple GPUs CPU: Intel Core i7-3970x Extreme, 12 logical cores @ 3.5 GHz GPU: 2x AMD Radeon R9 290x 4 GB Settings: 1080p ULTRA 4x MSAA OS: Windows 8 64-bit Level: South China Sea “Broken Flight Deck” This single-player scene is heavy on both the CPU and GPU with lots of action going on. Test was done on the highest end Intel CPU on Windows 8, which is the fastest option before Mantle thanks to DirectX 11.1. Still this CPU is not fast enough to keep the 2 290x GPUs fed at 1080p on Ultra settings so we get a significant CPU performance bottleneck which results in major performance improvement when enabling Mantle. Result: 13.24 ms/f -> = 8.38 ms/f = 58% faster

Battlefield 4(EA-DICE) •CPU-limited scenario: 40.9% (1080p) and 40.1% (1600p) performance improvement under Ultra settings and 4xAA on the AMD A10-7700K with an AMD Radeon™ R9 290X. Who in his right mind has this setup :bang:. I want to see the benefits in a more balanced setup, like A10-7700K and a R7-260. •Average uplift for 1080p: 13.28% (Average of 290X and 260X data on the i7-4960X, A10-7700K, FX 8350 and i5-4670K) •Average uplift for 1600p: 11.35% (Average of 290X and 260X data on the i7-4960X, A10-7700K, FX 8350 and i5-4670K) I find this very misleading. All those average of the average of something of the mix or more things, fps or percentage?

Now Hilbert it´s up to you to confirm this points with a nice in depth review, i´ll be waiting for it!!!

And mantle becomes just another over-hyped thing. "You will get up to 40% performance boost in games" .... "Oh but we forgot, that's only for low end cpu's and OUR apu's". Why did they wait till the last days to release this information? Because they knew how (above average) gamers would react. Yes any increase is good, but all the hype about it being so awesome ( almost "the new best thing") was just a big fail. And now after finally seeing g-sync in action myself i can say that i would take it over mantle anytime (yes, it needs an investment, but it does work quite well). All i was reading about mantle in the last few months was: "We delayed Mantle AGAIN"
