Don't know if the mantle patch helped or overclocking but no more low fps drops

did a mild 4.2ghz overclock on my i5 and bf4 paracel storm stays at about 60fps 1080p ultra now, no more dips into the 30s, I have yet to try that damn guilin peaks map where I dipped into the 20s though >_>

nice


maybe i'll reinstall bf4 and pick up premium and we can chump em.

I'd potentially get in on this chumping as well.

I'm not sure if the numbers are wring, but that's insane. Just scroll down to the benchmark in 720p and 1080p. It seems weird that there's only a 3-4 FPS difference between both resolutions, but that's a crazy performance difference between Mantle and DX.

I'm still waiting for Anandtech's review. They had a preview today and the results were quite different:

I'm fine with something like a 30% performance increase with mantle, any extra would just be crazy.

can't play it, as soon as I get in a match or even campaign it instantly freezes and says bf4 has stopped responding, went back to my old drivers that were working a few days ago...I don't think the install is fried, I think the mantle update itself to bf4 is fucked up, many others on the battlelog forum are also having crashing

That's why I always wait for people to beta test drivers for me. Wait at least a couple of weeks to see if there are any issues, always works.
