Can someone post or link to some Mantle benchmarks

I keep reading loads of posts about how good this new AMD Mantle API is...
But I haven't seen any ingame benchmark graphs posted :confused::o

So can someone please post some for me or post a link to some ?
 
That was so blurry, you couldn't really have an opinion.

Wait until conference starts tomorrow, hopefully we will see come concrete results.
 
Cheers for the replys...

Thought I was strange I couldn't find/see any benchmarks..
Will be interesting to see what gets shown on the 13th / 14th
 
I don't think that was running mantle above. You should have something to look at performance wise on the 14th of November at the AMD APU summit.
 
That was a single R9 290X running BF4 @ 5760 × 1080. but what are the settings?

This article is confusing, was it running Mantle? as far as i know AMD have not said it was
 
No, it's all talk and theory ATM.

Making a one off demo is hardly representative of how an implemented API will help improve performance. Reminds me of some of the game demos I played in the past. When I purchased the full version it ran really slow compared to the cut back demo.

The pessimistic side of me is also thinking that as AMD is losing the hardware battle at the moment, it's a bit of marketing, by taking the focus somewhere else other than sheer hardware performance.

Time will tell. I'm all for changes and new ideas, but at the moment I think the compromises that will need to be made will end up with performance levels not much better than DirectX, and possibly extremely costly. And then Nvidia could do something similar, or work more closely with MS on DirectX versions.

If the release date really is this December and there are games ready to support it then we'll see soon I guess whether the initial version at least is any good.

AMD are not loosing any hardware battle... If anything they are winning
 
K, just so people understand what is happening here.

AMD are in the consoles.

Developers making games for the consoles are working on AMD hardware and software by default.

AMD are looking to leverage their new found position by making it easy for cross development and optimisation across consoles or PC.

This position has enabled them to challenge the dominance of DX which for years has been a pain in the ass and a bloated mess with a more streamlined API.

The first big game available for the punters using said API is BF4 when it is patched in.

Its not been patched yet.

Ergo no-one has benchmarked it yet.

When it is patched, it will be benchmarked.
 
That tells people nothing Kitch and just gives out random bits of news. DX is going nowhere and Mantle will work alongside it. AMD are in consoles but that doesn't mean anything in terms of Mantle on PC, as consoles don't use Mantle.

On lower prices yes I agree with you but on sheer performance, no, and they appear to be behind the development curve. Ie, Nvidia are probably closer to releasing their next new tech cards that will be another step ahead than AMD are. I would say Nvidia are controlling things personally - bringing out the cool 780Ti just after the supposedly poorly cooled (or noisy) 290X for example. Idon't care either way as long as technology is driven forward :). And I'm not making a statement, it's just my opinion :)

Nivida may be ahead in GPU research you would be mad to think the 780ti was not been setting on their shelves for ages.
However Amd provides better performance and price at every price point.
Still the 780ti is a very fast card but at a high premium. If you want performance though a 7990 murders it

lol

amd own the performance crown mate.

Smaller core aswell :D = better arch :D
