Mantle Benchmark Thread

I'm working on another short benchmarking sequence that we can all follow in the test range. Its just to see how much a tank gun explosion causes fps to drop. I'll stick a video of it up on youtube shortly so we can have two different benchmark scenes to compare.

Here it is. I won't bother adding this one to the OP really, its too short. Just one for fun. Recording starts and stops when i enter the console commands.

Just done the mantle run twice to check back the results (yep they are good) and they where within a 0.1 of each other on both runs, so happy its within error margin. Also re ran the DX11 numbers to get a good error margin.

This was done by restarting the level once it loaded to avoid the cut scene & then turning on the bench data right at the level start so no need to cut data out to allow for the load...then turning off once i got to the boat as per the video LtMatt put up, also double checked crossfire was working for both dx11 & mantle

Ultra preset 4xaa @1080p motion blur off FOV @90
i5 3570k @ 4.2 (h100i) water cooling
crossfire Tri-x 290's (stock 1000)

Mantle
Max 199
Avg 129.6
min 20.7

DX11
Max 122.4
Avg 66.2
Min 25.3

That's 95.7% improvement on the avg

Are you 100% sure that's accurate?

It looks like crossfire may not have been working on the DX11 run. I scored higher than that at 1440P at the same settings with 290 Pro crossfire.

hi matt,

Crossfire was defo working had the AB overlay on for the DX run, however there was a problem with the sheet i was using before the app so the Avg for mantle was well off

Did a few re-runs with the app on mantle to take human error out, think i had a problem in my setup on the excel sheet,

in short the avg should have been about 76fps on mantle so about a 30% uplift for me vs DX so still happy with that,

I will try to get some screen shots done ASAP, however like a tool i hit restart lvl not checkpoint.

Nice one. :)

And Lol at the schoolboy error, thats going to cost you. Now you have to sit through all the tedious crap that goes on before that sequence lol. :p

Dunno, maybe put the DX and Mantle scores together in a single post so it's easier to compare DX v Mantle.

Could do that. Need to make it stand out a bit ideally.

How do you change difficulty level in BF4?

I'm either missing the option due to blatant thickness, or you have to start over???

If it's a start over scenario, then goddammit matt, send me your save:eek:(please):p.

If you've completed the campaign once then you should be able to select the mission 'South China Sea' and start from there. Selecting individual missions gives you the opportunity to pick easy difficulty. Real men complete it on hard though outside of a benchmarking run.
