Install 13.12

14.1 is all about Mantle.

No way to get mantle working with crossfire ? I did see LTmatt and a couple of others running it

14.1 is not working for me on crossfire. Follow Kaaps advice. I'm using 13.12 WHQL.

At the moment Mantle is good for single cards but there is no CF support yet.

BF4 might still be running in Mantle mode. Did you change it back to DX11.1 API before switching drivers?

 

[Mr. May]

Disabled ULPS and restarted pc? Not running vsync or an fps limiter?

 

[Mr. May]

No vsync or limiter got an overclocked monitor though how do I disable ulps and what is it ?

You can disable ULPS via the latest version of afterburner, which is beta 18. Make sure you're on the latest version and go into settings to disable ULPS. Btw older version of afterburner can report slightly incorrect gpu usage, so i wouldn't worry too much.

No idea mate i just installed the drivers, disable ULPS and away i go. Maybe run a Unigine Heaven or Valley and see if the score is correct.
