Mantle Feedback/Bugs

Nice new sig Matt, what was wrong with the old one?

Thanks.

It was slightly too big for OcuK. Shame as the original looked slightly better.

EDIT

Unless you're talking about my old old sig, in which case i fancied a change.

Last one I saw was the 4 lines of text which is allowed. :confused:

The gif one you had was before that (I think) isn't allowed.

Anyway this is OT. :D
 
LtMatt will try AB once i get home. Only reason i dont use AB is that it had crappy +100mv limit. And well max i could get stable was 1140 with +100mv :/.

Other thing is that even if i change power limit in AMD CCC it still does not work :/

Cant be asked to do Format C cause everything besides that runs gr8. Still my 8.1 install is from leaked version :P

Use Trixxx then. Trixxx allows +200mv and 50% power tune.
 
I've been testing with my 7870 LE - its weird; reinstalled the drivers they seem a lot more stable this time round; still getting a little pauses in the game; when there is no pause its very smooths.

Tested it in other games doesn't seem to be an issue there - need to test with bf3 also and make sure I'm in mantle in bf4 :) I'll report more later; also this was last night on shanghi :)
 
Seems a lot better to me. The gfx are back to normal, the memory leak seems to have gone and the cpu spikes have all but disappeared. They're still there occasionally but no where near as big and now seem genuinely down to a sudden change in resource usage due to what's happening in game, rather than the semi regular way it did before.
 
LtMatt Mega driver reinstall day :D
Instaled new DDU reinstalled mantle drivers yet again

Tried to change power tune in:
CCC fail reboot
installed MSI AB fail does not work so uninstall reboot
installed GPU Tweak fail uninstall reboot
installed Trixxx fail uninstall reboot

NO **** it does not work AT ALL card limited to 285wats max :( With Mantle drivers.
DDU and went back and installed 13.12 whql
Installed Trixxx +50% works
Installed GPU Tweak +50% works
Card can draw 380wats

Next thing i did worst thing one can do:
Installed mantle beta OVER 13.12 whql

Guess what ?? Power Play does not work AGAIN !!!!

Now i know why my card runs around 1090-1100mhz when playing BF4 on Mantle. Drivers fault i just noticed this when i was running some benchmarks.

I guess people running 1200mhz on core with those drivers should have same thing.
I hope this will get fixed in next drivers :P
 
Lol so the moral of the story is, use the 13.12 WHQL drivers like LT has been saying since the start. :p

Tried Mantle, suffered with crashes went back to 13.12 and haf no problems. Gave Mantle a second chance and for the first day it was flawless, however, next day crash after crash. I could alt+tab and quit the BF.exe so I guess they weren't the dreaded black screen crashes. So with the latest BF4 update I might just give Mantle one more try.

LtMatt but but but MANTLE :D thats why we got em AMD cards and True Audio AMRITE :D

Anyhow. I went for final option DDU + bios switch to standard sapphire bios. Mantle drivers and,.... Nope still not working.

So DDU back to Asus bios and 13.12 WHQL
Maybe BF4 does not run so nice on DX11 ( cant belive how much better it works with mantle on my pc) But that game is messed up anyhow :P

And while watching them reboots I figured out why people say they lost fps in all them other games... Cause cards are throttling with those drivers even tho u supposed to have +50% power limit.

When i had a small round in bf4 minutes ago on dx11 with 1170 on core all the time card did hit 300 watts where before it was limited to 265 watts(not 28x watts like i said before) So if anyone was running any descent OC on their cards those drivers BLOW in anything besides BF4.

But Mantle itself is very nice and runs good after todays update i had not seen a single 1s lag that was happening every now and then :).


Last thing i wanted to check was pc power draw when playing on dx11 vs Mantle. I am sure on mantle my pc uses less power (I can hear it due to my coil whine in PSU) But i dont have power measuring tool to check it. Just to see how much less power does pc use on mantle :P
 
Tried mantle drivers and tested with BF4 and while good it affected other games with poor FPS so had to revert back to teh old 13.12 drivers and now everything is fine.
