Mantle Benchmark Thread

[LtMatt]

Yep many thanks. Maybe we should ask people to include a screenshot of the tool when posting scores like so.

DX11

Mantle

14% improvement for me. Single 290 at stock. Can't test crossfire yet unfortunately.

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.

 

[LtMatt]

What I like about mantel Is that i can run my cards at 800/1200 and get same performance from bf4 as I would at 1100/1400 on DX11!

Makes system run quieter and cooler.

Bargin

will bench this later

A part of Rusty dies every time you call it Mantel.

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.

What resolution please?

 

[LtMatt]

Forgot to add it, was at 1080p. Edited it in my post above

Scores added.

Guys im open to suggestions if you can think of a better way for me to layout the scores.

 

[LtMatt]

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.

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.

 

[LtMatt]

How's everyone running these benchmarks? I usually use fraps but I am having issues with BF4 crashing every time I start the program.

Your lack of reading the OP and following posts brings shame upon us all.

 

[LtMatt]

Okay ... Let's all ignore that and love me when I return with some results.

Atta boy.

 

[LtMatt]

Not sure about the crashing, but I read people stating elsewhere, that fraps doesn't work with Mantle.

I haven't tried it myself though ( I don't have BF4 or an AMD card ).

Afterburner OSD and fraps both make mantle/bf4 crash for me.

 

[LtMatt]

I was advised to disable IGP, worked like a charm.

Yep also seen that as a fix for crashing. Not an issue for me on P67 and sandy bridge though.

 

[LtMatt]

is there a lazy mode for benching this lol?

Not really its a bit of a pain the ass.

 

[LtMatt]

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(please).

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.

 

[LtMatt]

Good work ICDP. I have to be honest i could not be bothered to keep switching between drivers so im glad someone did it.

 

[LtMatt]

Wow saying this is the 1st Mantle release the BF4 results look promising. If anything it'll hopefully get better.

Its promising, but still a long way to go. Drivers are very raw currently.

I get to test my PC at the girlfriends this weekend, i3 7850. Im more excited to see what will happen with that, compared to my main PC!

Will be interesting to see for sure.

 

[LtMatt]

Good testing Reece.
