I dont get it.
Surely price vs performance comes into play here?
Nope, people have different levels of expendable income. The world would be a very boring place if everyone bought on price/performance.

LOL indeed
Crap but give it time matey![]()
Ohhh, judging by Matt's earlier post, I thought it was perfect now.

I'd say 20-30% performance improvement is not just 'a few fps', but each to their own.
Which post?
Good job and well done AMD for getting MS to pull their finger out. Hopefully this won't take long and the guys with older CPU's/slower CPU's can just go for a GPU upgrade and hold off on the CPU. From reading around the unbiased Mantle users, it is nothing but disappointment. A few hard-core AMD users are showing some massive patience, which is fair play but no matter how Mantle is buttered up, it is proprietary and broken at present.
I have big hopes for OpenGL and hope they do get it working well in New games, as MS needs the competition. They have had it so good for so long and D3D has become very stagnant, with drip Fed advancements.
To see how broken it is, have a look here.
Ok so 2 cores still. 4.5Ghz and stock 2 GPUs (boost) 1124/3500

Now 2 GPUs @ (boost) 1200/3750

LtMatt said:AMD and Dice now need to fix the outstanding bugs and improve support for Tahiti and other 7xxx users. 290 performance is outstanding. The biggest bug for me is a large cpu spike that occurs every 10 minutes or so. This issue appears to be crossfire related and does not affect single 290 users as far as i know.
Nice that this thread turned into a BF4 willy waving contest.

your mantle results are almost as fast as my Titan results at the same settings
I have to say if that is what you get with DX, then something is wrong with DX performance
Ok, so you think that this is good frames for a pair of 290's @ 1440P?
2 GPUs @ 1200 / 3750
all 6 cores active @ 4.5Ghz.

All in the interest of science. That's all.
