Indeed but it seems to be working ok for the 290 users..
What's your resolution?
They backed themselves into a corner I think release date wise with some of the PR comments so they couldn't delay it any longer to fix stuff... but even so this is exactly why I slate AMD and so far the Mantle launch isn't exactly doing anything to change my opinion.
Soldato
What a let down?
For you?
I should imagine you are vasalined up and going blue in the face over the Mantle failure

BF4 has not been out 2 years and im of a different opinion of expecting perfection from the get go and that's all im going to say on the matter at this time.

I think you care a little too much about this. It's a bit of software. Nothing wrong with anyone innovating.
Dude? What?
I know Crossfire is unstable. Was just saying i managed to get it working for a while before it crashed lol.

You keep crashing, so how so? Geeeez come on fella's, I can see the potential for mantle and an API that is close to the metal but I would be massively ******. Even the die hard fans must be a little fed up?

Think its Dice not AMD, Repi said its on there end.
Also we have another Dice patch coming this week and also should see 14.2 very soon. 14.2 has shown up on couple site didn't it?
What a pointless statement to make.

Shanks (disappointing result btw), AMD have been close working with AMD on this, so they are both to blame. AMD paid $8 million to secure this deal and I see it as a massive disappointment. I want to see it a win but reading site after site makes me see a massive big fat fail.
Sorry, but that is the truth.

No because My 7970s aren't supported yet but I've experienced the gains to be had. And they are massive.
Soldato
That could be more worrying if true, Dice fixing stuff
They fixed the crashing last time? why not this time? We all after to remember here this is "FREE" and a "BETA" when did people start forgetting Beta means stable working product?
Before it was even released AMD released the known issue and what they have listed is showing up Driver side.
The Fog is Dice and should be a easy fast fix you would think.

Wait what??? You are experiencing the gains but you are happy to keep crashing and your 7970's are not supported yet? I told you this but you didn't see/ignored it but the guys who are supported are getting fogged images and crashing..... Fail!
I think those who are being harsh to this release are being a bit silly with their reactions.
Because of the way games have been released lately it seems to me people have forgotten what 'BETA' means. This is a BETA driver and a BETA implementation of mantle (since it hasn't been optimised for the 280x and below).
Also, Battlefield 4 hasn't earned a particularly good reputation for being well programmed.
More importantly, this is the first game to implement mantle, but there was a pretty substantial list of developers (which can be found somewhere in the massive mantle thread) who said they were onboard. This includes the people making Star Citizen for example.
Even in this BETA state, we've seen gains of 50%+ in best case scenarios and ~10%+ in average-to-bad scenarios. This is fantastic if you actually think about it. In product terms it means the 290X becomes on par with the 780Ti and any Xfire setup will be better than its Nvidia counterpart.
This is great for the consumer and great for competition.

Most sensible post yet.
Mantle is a massive achievement, to completely replace directx which has evolved over many years is a huge achievement. A bit of fog and some crashing is pretty small compare to what's been achieved.
Soldato
What about this performance Gain?
Plus the frame rate and I know I not alone on this just feels better. think it fast frame times.DirectX - 85fps Ultra 1080p no MSAA

Mantle - 120fps Ultra 1080p No MSAA
