Hopefully it will get patched sooner rather than later. That should help to alleviate a CPU bottleneck with four cards.
As if anyone with 4 cards will run 1080p and have low FPS because of a bottleneck, above that resolution the bottleneck will diminish.

I understand his frustration, i use four cards too. Fact is this issue will only affect a small minority, but it's still important. However Mantle works well for one and two card users, which let's face it is the majority. That said we still want this to be addressed and i will chase it up and see if we can get some sort of ETA on the patch.
No it should be right and it is no good for other people to blame the end user.
It is a bit like buying a new car only to find it has no wheels and the salesman telling you to fit them yourself.

If I've understood him correctly, Kaap believed that the CPU was the bottleneck at 4K with 4 cards, hence the diminishing returns / poor scaling with 4 cards. AMD traditionally do quite well with multi-card scaling.
Scaling tends to drop off after you get to three cards but it is no big deal, 112fps @4K is enough for current monitors.
What I would be interested in is the minimums using Mantle with 4 cards as it looks like the CPU is really holding things up @4K.
Indeed in more graphically demanding games like Crysis 3 or BF4 quadfire scales a lot better. Unfortunately here we are dealing what is basically a 5 year old game that comes with a massive CPU bottleneck. Watching it run is very much like using Civ5 (which I play a lot) with the same min avg and max fps.

I know is a bit low score, with a nice Intel cpu i can do with this baby 40-41. In many situation my cpu is bleeding all over on my floor.

5.2GHz on your 3970x or go home
I've had over 1.625v through it and it still blue screens when benching on 5ghz. 4.9. (with a bit of BCLK is the limit sadly)

You could invest in a chiller and a bit of watercooling that would get you a bit closer.

1.625 ****ing volts... On what? and H100 or something? You're insane

Treat em mean keep em keen lol. 
Im stupidly careful going over 1.55v, and people call me crazy for doing 1.55... And i have ambients and water cooling on my side, wtf. You gonna fry it
Caporegime
Gives me a reason to upgrade if i do.
Nah i tried once to get it at 5Ghz with silly voltage, didn't work so gave up. Settled for 4.9.
