Mantle Benchmark Thread

[LtMatt]

Nice one Jock, will start adding those scores to the OP. That's a nice improvement. I think you were always in line for a nice bump with Mantle because of your i5. Have you tried disabling ULPS btw? That may get you some extra performance and even out that gpu usage a bit.

Anyways, I will be getting a ticking off from Matt soon for being in here

As long as you're not derailing the thread/trolling. Had enough of that already.

on the chart sweet,

however i just have normal 290's not the x version, its sapphires naming system

On it.

If you physically swap the cards round, then yes.

Gets me a good increase too:

Mantle:
Minimum FPS: 4.78767
Maximum FPS: 263.852
Average FPS: 166.057

DX11
Minimum FPS: 25.2589
Maximum FPS: 262.467
Average FPS: 156.411

Same map/game, just played half on each.

FX8320 @ 4Ghz & 7850 2GB. Mostly on low @ 1080p except a few on high like Mesh etc. I prefer a smooth frame rate, although BF4 runs so well, I'm sure I could increase things a little!!

Scores added. What clocks were you using on your gpu please?

Great news there Jock and impressive results. 82% is not be sniffed at and dx is likely a bit bottleneck for your xfire and i5 setup.

Have you noticed any bugs with Mantle and 14.2 so far? Any random big cpu spikes? What OS are you on?

 

[LtMatt]

Not bad considering your card has not had performance optimizations yet.
