No fear when the developer makes poor excuses for poor dx perf

Leigh 'dynamite' Griffiths-one way or another he's either going to be explosive on the park, or off it-big gamble though...













taking on such an ugly munter, CFC Calendar sales are going to take a massive hit.

If he puts them away fair play, can't help think money would have been better spent keeping hold of leadly though.

First mantle attempt with stock GB R9 290x and i7 4770k at 4.6

i5 [email protected], R9 280X stock.

Mantle.


DirectX



50.4% increase.

well, Noticlble difference on mine. Done 2 runs, 1 DX other Mantle. They seem to have changed the default time to 6 min stress test. Used the custom cfg of DL's.

DX 15.38

Mantle 36.89

Quite impressed to be honest. Also seemed a lot smother but that could have been me.

Did take note of the min fps in both. Dx droped to 7.6 fps, Mantle dropped to 19.8.

Heres the full details

DX first:


Mantle run:


Unit count was also slightly higher in the mantle run too.

I just did some runs on my 7950, custom scenario on extreme settings.

Pretty much identical to the increase i got then, i had 22 in DX and 36 in Mantle on my 7950 @ 1000/1250

And under Mantle i actually saw improvements from overclocking the GPU.

Mantle:

DirectX:

As for minimums, I saw DirectX get as low as 7.8fps at one point. Lowest I saw on Mantle was 21fps.
All in all, a 57% increase in average frame rates.

I just noticed something. the timed run is now 360 seconds. it used to be 120.

Yes, same here. Maybe to get a more accurate representation when making comparisons?

Quite the difference! Can't believe the fps while 6000+ units battled it out.

You guys running Follow one? I may try that out later, but BF4 now IF I can find a decent server at this time.
