**Official THIEF-Incorporating AMD™ Mantle™/True Audio™/Bench mark Thread**

3 card scaling isn't good

4 GPU scaling is even worse.

How can AMD make such a big thing of 4K when the drivers and game don't support 3 and 4 way setups.

Does the 13.12 drivers support this game

Yes, I just ran it on my wife's 760K/HD7850 based system. Downloading the 14.2 betas now to see what the performance will be like with a driver that is meant to be optimised for the game.

Hopefully this driver won't lose my profile again....

EDIT: Good job AMD....

(note - Not the same benchmark settings as per the OP - but directly comparable between runs)

13.12 - 36.6
14.2 - 32.3 & a stuttery mess to boot

*sigh*

Oh and it lost my Eyefinity profile as well...... *double sigh*

 

[uksoldierboy]

Just got the game and looking forward to giving it a go.

ran the benchmark too so here's my results.

Maxed settings as per thread.

13.12 drivers
1080P

Asus R9 290X @1150/1400
4770K @4.6

Spoiler

Min=57.1
Max=104.5
Avg=78

 

[tommybhoy]

Updated and fixed(I think).

 

[MrMarvelous]

Do you need the game for this or is there a stand alone download?

 

[BuzzLloydyear]

I ran it earlier for the first time and the game is far too linear and hand holdy to really enjoy, but it looks pretty for the dated engine. However, 2nd, 3rd and 4th attempt to boot it up resulted in bsod on initial loading screen. So I guess I will not be playing it again in a hurry (I won't lose much sleep over it).

Overclocked run, smashed it. Had to double check settings

Very nice. I saved a bit in the tank but never getting close to that. Great score

 

[Silent_Scone]

Ta, glad I clocked something lol. Was having a nightmare getting this ram stable

 

[Silent_Scone]

Ok well two cards at those clocks are slower than one. Yay great game.

 

[tommybhoy]

WOW frosty, probably sitting on top of the mantle when it arrives.

That's weird, crossfire has started working on Thief. Nixxes must have patched it in via yesterdays patch. Scaling is poor, but its definitely working. Will get a quick stock benchmark up shortly. Apologies for blaming AMD.

Crossfire not working for me with 14.2 drivers,and I only get max of 72fps in benchmark.

 

[Diagro]

xfire for me doesn't work at all.

getting 35fps on ALL MAX settings and its useing 80% of one GPU.

Failed

 

[Silent_Scone]

Christ, Chapter 5 has got me bricking it.

Sapphire R9 280X Toxic, 34fps average.

Mega fail.

So how have you getting it to work as xfire doesn't work for me.

Have you clicked exclusive fullscreen? crossfire wouldn't work on my 7990 until I clicked it, i'm using 14.2 drivers

That seems very slow for a 280x, can you post the rest of your syatem specs and what settings your using. Might also be worth running the afterburner overlay to chech your gpu usage and clock speeds.

Thief patch date confirmed, Mantle and TrueAudio incoming

Thief patch date confirmed, Mantle and TrueAudio incoming

AMD, Nixxes, and Eidos-Montreal have been working on implementing Mantle and TrueAudio support in the PC version of Thief for some time now, and it's finally coming to fruition: AMD and Eidos-Montreal have confirmed to us the patch enabling these features will go live Tuesday, March 18.

For those unfamiliar, Mantle is an API that offers higher framerates and lower frame time latency thanks to its programmer-friendly low-impact design; TrueAudio improves audio depth while reducing load on your CPU and RAM. You can find out more about the latter here.

I'll have much more information to share on Mantle and TrueAudio in Thief soon when our upcoming testing article goes live. In the meantime, check out our tech review if you haven't yet.
