Is your monitor switched on?

You mean between the 2 I posted or the page that Nexus linked? In the 2 I posted you can definitely see the difference between the 2.

I cant see no difference between those 2 pics you posted..
What difference am i supposed to see?

So what I have gleaned from the above is that Nexus your name is Patrick!

Good to know!

Lol

, I thought everyone on TS knew that?

I had an idea but you are so mysterious it could have been a plant!

Look at it properly, if I can spot the differences then you should be able to!

There are plenty of instances between the 2 pictures, where things aren't there on the low picture, but are there on the ultra one.

Good results Nexus. Your pulling lower frames than I am but with allot more pixels.

Yeah, it is my CPU that is holding the 290 back

Lets hope DC CPU drops price of current haswell stuff by a decent amount!

I would have though that mantle would solve that issue, it's purpose is to reduce CPU bottlenecks.

Or are you unwilling to live without SweetFX?

Perhaps my CPU is too crap

I do miss sweetfx but I can live without for now until I get a better CPU

What cpu do you have Nexus? As mentioned, mantle does help reduce bottleneck with older cpu's. Ive got a few frame time analysis bench figures ill post up later, spec un sig. Usually average 80-90 fps depending on map.

Did another run. Same map and settings however the game went to 64 after a while.

Your CPU (as long as you have a decent OC on it) should be fine with Mantle. Mantle is designed to work on AMD FX CPUs that are weaker than your i5 750.

i5 750 oc to 3.6ghz which goes to 3.8ghz with turbo

I probably haven't got a good enough oc on my i5 750, could go higher but temps get out of hand then, hitting 71/73 atm.

On a separate note, lg monitor re-boxed and ready for collection tomorrow, probably get my 3rd replacement next Monday. Third time a charm hopefully!

So strange going back to 16.9

Wow, 3 times? All the same issue?

You should also use the FLA Calculator as well as the FTA

3.6 - 3.8GHz is a decent OC, you shouldn't have many issues there.

What cooling are you using?

Yup the next one will be my third

Main issue being back light bleed and this second one also had a dead pixel in the central area

Gelid tranquillo rev.2 with a 120mm akassa apache fan.

That's a really cool program - when I alt tabbed I saw a large spike in my frametimes at the start due to alt tabbing which I removed with the cutter. Here is the result. Not sure if it's any good or not.

Even the single player does the same ? Other Origin games like Titanfall work fine.

It's really weird everything just runs in really slow motion until it crashes.

Stupid game...

I was having a similar issue until I stopped using Chrome.
I had tried everything. drivers, removing over clocks etc. Nothing worked.
I now use iexplorer instead for battle log - works fine now
Go figure
