Hi there, just a guy from Finland posting here for the first time (yes I actually made account just for this).
Why isn't there any mantle results up? For me I can only run mantle if I start the game from steam library or steam's recent games list. (desktop shortcut automatically runs dx).
Also anyone notices that strange behaviour on all amd cards between frames ~700-1200. Lines are generally just one line which shows very smooth, and during that period it's +-5 frames all the time.

Do you have the DEMO or the full Game? we all seem to have the DEMO, no Mantle in the DEMO as far as we can tell.
And Welcome to the forum
I have full game. Have you checked if demo version has exe for mantle to run?
I have these located in game folder
CivilizationBE_DX11.exe
CivilizationBE_Mantle.exe
I'll post my bench results soon, just have to find some good host.

Decent improvement all round from Mantle, but HUGE improvement in minimum FPS. Very nice!

In the Demo, Crossfire doesn't work for me. I scored 71fps I forced Xfire using Civ5 profile and game glitched but give me a much higher score.

Unfortunately Mantle won't run giving me a message that it does not run on some older hardware.

Good scaling up to 3 cards.
