Overclock your cpu as much as you can, seems to help in this bench.

Would have thought 4.5 was enough on Mantle but given some of the other scores, i suppose could get some gains going higher. I have issues getting ti stable above 4.7 but i suppose the CPU doesnt have to be rock solid, just enough for the bench

I've not tested how much it helps on Mantle, just taking Kaaps word for it. So clock it as far as it will go.

Silly question, just got thief (finally!) and how do you enable mantle? Is it like bf4 where you have to enable it in system settings or is it on by default?

Ah ok, so its outside the game, gotcha
Entry
3770k 3.7/7970s 1200/1600 24/7 clocks (its way too hot here to even try bench with high clocks)
1080p single card mantle
1080p crossfire mantle
With crossfire i get a big bottleneck on my first 2 threads. It doesnt make a difference if i bench with stock clocks or 1200/1600

Try this
I normally use Exclusive full screen for crossfire. How does it work with that unticked?

Ok Kaap the results are in. I'm slightly slower (0.6fps) than my previous 1080P score because temps are higher. The extra cpu speed does make a difference. Not a huge difference, but definitely a good few extra fps. This is not an entry bumhug.

What's the best method for controls in this game, Xbox pad or mouse and keyboard?
Caporegime
Some games work better with a console pad though, Sleeping dogs for example. I don't mind using either on games like this. If there's a lot of skillful aiming/shooting involved then ill always use mouse and keyboard.
You can shot ppl with a CrossBow, the controls in this third person perspective are no different to Tomb Raider.

Played a good bit of it on my mates PC. We used a pad and it felt pretty good. We were sitting back playing on his 50 inch screen taking turns about so a pad was the best way forward. I doubt mouse and keyboard would be any better for this game as stealth is the main aim.
i dont like gamepad on thief, everytime i wanna climb a wall a shot an arrow, LT and RT thing i always forget, and im always out of arrows.
so mouse and keyboard for me

Just played 30 minutes. Think i might like this game, i like collecting things.
I wonder if i can soup up the graphics via CCC with some supersampling? TrueAudio seems nice as well. Nothing earth shattering but definitely adds some much needed immersion to the game.
Using an Xbox pad and like how it feels so will use that.
