14.2 v1 drivers

 

[Evil Star]

Crossfire Mantle support comes in the next driver.

Well updated the game and the drivers. Runs fine at the highest settings using mantle (1080p), sounds great, game is crap though. I waited until the mantle patch before even trying the game and I am not sure I will even start it up again.

Oh, I did the benchmark things, here are my results

Min - 56
Max - 91
Avg - 67

Running a R9 290 with an i2500k at 4.4Ghz turbo.

regarding TrueAudio for Thief - are the audio processing parts really too complex for a modern cpu to decode/process ? ie if code was written for the CPU to decode this audio (as an option) - would it bog down the game ?

Am I missing something, I have no True Audio option. Only off and software are available.

I'm using an Asus Xonar D2X sound card with SPDIF 5.1 headset.

I apologise in advance for my questions.

Are you using 14.3 Beta and has steam updated your version of Thief?

Yep and yep. I can enable Mantle OK but in the game I have no True Audio option.

Clutching at straws here but verify game files in steam?

Mantle= ~10% gain.

Looks about right.

I wonder if crossfire will be double that.

I bet your card was throttling btw tommy because of the powertune bug.

What gpu you using?

 

[Sweey]

Using a 290 Tri-X OC at 1080p with the highest settings:

13.12 drivers Min FPS: 47.6, Max FPS: 83.6, Avg FPS: 63
14.3 beta drivers - DirectX Min FPS: 49.5, Max FPS: 83.7, Avg FPS: 63.7
14.3 beta drivers - Mantle Min FPS: 56.9, Max FPS: 93.6, Avg FPS: 69.2

290X

Should have the setting, it's in game inside of audio settings on mine.

Decent enough. About in line with gains in BF4 on a single card and OC i7 CPU.

Wonder what gains they can get where Mantle development was involved earlier on in the dev cycle. Will be interesting to see.

Nope, nothing on mine. I've tried 3 different soundcards and no joy. Only off and software as an option in Convolution Reverb Audio.

That is a strange one, maybe try re installing 14.3

TH tests Thief with Mantle:

An FX4170 just about matches a Core i7 4770K!
