"1.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 as they are the next highest priority products. - See more at: http://www.maximumpc.com/amds_catalyst_141_drivers_are_incoming_mantle_update_and_more#sthash.T39Jlpur.dpuf [maximumpc.com]"
Performance toolsTo simplify measuring performance in the game we’ve added a new tool to the in-game console to record frame times for later analysis. Simply run “PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 1″ to start saving frame times and “PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 0″ to stop. The resulting .csv file will be located in Documents/Battlefield 4 which can be opened & graphed by Excel or other applications for viewing.Another in-game tool that is useful to use is “Render.DrawScreenInfo 1″ that will now show additional on-screen information about your CPU & GPU config, resolution and as well as if Mantle or DirectX 11 is used for rendering.
The AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta driver is expected to be available at AMD’s website sometime today.
Only GCN.Im going to wait for benches, a 270x for $330 could be a superb UG
i had kinda hope speakman had died, what a pity
People across the board are saying huge improvements to the game. This is without mantle.Smoother, hit boxes working, on HC friendly markers are better, tank aiming fixed, fps boost in general too.
During the QA process, we identified an installation issue in AMD Catalyst 14.1 that renders it unsuitable for distribution for testing in your labs. We are testing a new build overnight and will update you on its status by mid-afternoon Eastern Standard Time on January 31. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience and understanding.
