ive not had a single random FPS drop anymore but i dont think i really gained any performance, about the fog DICE said they have a fix for it but its not in this patch lol
im a diehard BF player always have been and i agree 100% it should have been delayed but the big shots over at EA didn't want it to bump into titanfall and they wanted to be out before CoD ghost
i dont agree however when it comes to the beta drivers... that is what beta means to test and use...
over on battlelog people are saying theres a memory leak with AMD cards in windows 8 and has something to do with the beta drivers (witch is required to use mantle) i rarely play more then 2 or 3 rounds in a row so ive not experienced it myself
ugh... what? you mean with nvidia cards? i have windows 8.1 installed and still gained over the 45% advertised boost with mantle
i7 920 OC to 3.2
12 gigs DDR3 ram 1600
290x OC to 1100/1450
windows 8.1
max fps with ultra on mantle 180 min 120
max fps with ultra on DX 120 min 60
that's in MP...
all the mantle hate seems to come from people who also own nvidia cards.... wonder why
ive yet to run into anyone who owns a card that the 14.1 beta drivers are optimized for that is disappointed by mantle unless they just cant get past the bugs and have yet to be able to get a stable running...
someone posted this over on battlelog, people also need to remember theres only been one BETA driver released so far that supports mantle its far from finished

i got my 290x the day it came out for BF4 and paid $570 it also came with a free copy of BF4 so if you ask me i only really paid $510 US for it since i was buying the game anyway also the 290 wasn't released at the time.
the 'cryptocraze' would stop me from buying a second one so there's no...

i know this has been replied to 10 times already but i can say it from first a hand experience i have a i7 920 OC to 3.2 and a 290x card so i am CPU bottlenecked and i play a ton of BF4 online, with DX id get dips into the 60's some times even the 50s but with mantle i never dip under 120 fps...
i have to say im blown away by the performance of mantle and sad these drivers are so broken, and i have one of the so called card's they focused on 290x playing with mantle BF4 feels soooo smooth like you're gliding on ice on maps where id dip into the 60's i now never drop under 120 its...
