I am trying to play BF4 with Mantle and am getting really bad stuttering, even on the menus. Tried turning down settings which didn't help. DX11 seems to work fine, just terribad stuttering on Mantle. Is this an issue with the game? Couldn't find anything wrong with my PC, put stock clocks back on the cards which did nothing to help. The latest Omega drivers seem to have broken crossfire in BF4 for me.

EDIT: Here is GPU-Z usage stats. Showing that it isn't capping on VRAM. It does seem to be causing the cards to clock down for no reason.

I had to overclock the core on my R9 290 to stop it stuttering the exact same way.

Also after overclocking try setting the power limit to 50% in AB also.

Try deleting the 2 mantle files in your C:\Users\****\Documents\Battlefield 4\cache

Weirdly the stutter disappears when i actually go into a game. Mantle crossfire and DX11 crossfire seem to be broken though as my second card is not being utilised at all.

ULPS is disabled:

Oddly GVR on Raptr seems to do this - However when i am playing i see no such problem:

Mantle crossfire has never worked for me works for about 5 mins then when i get shot or an explosion goes off i get 1 second freezes. As for dx11 crossfire its been stuttery since the naval strike patch, i don't think laggy servers help either.
 
Tried my 7990 with ultra texture settings instead of medium after the December 15th BF4 patch and so far Mantle seems to play ok. Just been playing TDM so I don't know how the conquest maps will play.
Maybe DICE have fixed the memory leak, anbody any info on this?
