I get a few more frames using mantle and it seems to max my GPU usage. Single 7950 though so maybe a xfire issue? And yeah the game is almost nothing like benchmark. Quite weird really.

Mantle won't even run in quadfire and all I get is a text box saying memory problems.

Blimey. Looks pretty demanding!

I get half the fps in the benchmark with mantle than I do running dx11.
running the game maxed on dx11 at 3440x1440 and getting 60fps nearly all the time and it looks stunning. Haven't tyred in game using mantle as it seemed so poor in the benchmark.
this is with crossfire 290.

odd seeing mantle being terrible in this as its one of the engines they use primarily to show how good it is

The character faces are pretty impressive but its not the best looking game imo.

I played it a little last night and its very interesting to say the least in terms of gameplay, some people mentioned "Game of the Year" maybe yeah.

4K Ultra (DX) on a single GTX970 runs +- in the 20fps range but feels quite smooth , with SLI GTX970s Im hovering in the 38-48 range.

I think it's pretty gorgeous for an open world rpg. The tessellation is some of the best iv seen.

Played this last night on a 7970 cf machine using Mantle and it was pretty smooth. Had the odd problem with cut scenes being a little jumpy but all around a decent experience.

Unfortunately never got to try out dx or even bench the game as he was more into just playing. The games visuals are very nice indeed and the game play was new to me which i enjoyed. I would recommend this game to anyone that like open world rpg's.

I'm only getting around 62-65fps in all the runs I did with Xfire 290X's, seems way too low for these cards?

Single 970 @1440 is mental, the benchmark shows avg of 20 something

Glad i'm not the only one having problems, 60fps at 1080p with Xfire 290X's @ 1200/1650 can't be right 0,o

Benchmark isn't representative of the actual min fps.

Is this the dumbest ever ingame benchmark tool it lasts like what 2-3 seconds max ?

Can anyone see better results from Mantle at 4K rather than DX in multi GPU runs ?

I seem to be getting lower fps from Mantle at 1080 and 1440 while in 4K its higher mins for Crossfire and higher averages on a single card.

Theres also this bug thats showing me 5.8GB VRAM usage at 4K DX in CFX

Christ Kaap, if those scores are any indication of how punishing 4k is on gfx then I'm *really* glad I just stuck to 1440p for a while!!! Goes from entirely playable (70 fps min to 27 fps min!!!)

Not surprising when thought about (3.7mill vs 8.2mill pixels!!)

Have to say that I'm impressed with how my 7870 is coping. At 1080p (no MSAA but on a mix of high and ultra) I'm getting 55fps in the bench. The game is decent too and looks nice and "next gen".

Finally got to bench this game. Settings used were near enough max. The only settings not fully up were msaa which was at 2x and textures were only Ultra. Mantle was around 20% faster than dx on 7970 cf and was the better experience. No screenshots but Mantle returned 49 fps v dx at 41. Both api's gave a decent experience if i am being honest but Mantle was definitely better due to the better average. I would have got some screens but my mate was not interested lol. Drivers used were 14.11.2

I used this scenario for DX testing (Fraps) at The Highlands against Mantle (bench tool) and its more taxing.

Strange as i would have expected the newer cards to benefit more from Mantle. 7970 cf played very nice under mantle and as i said the Benchmark scores that we recieved showed a 20% benefit.

System specs were 3770k @4.5ghz
2 x stock 7970's
8gb ram
ssd.
1000w corsair psu

Anyhow this game seems to be a good release unlike some of the buggy crap PC has seen lately.
