Yes thats exactly it. its a Samsung 830 so a fast SSD, i have never seen the HDD light work so much as i do while playing BF4 with Mantle, it is as you say "thrashing" the HDD.
I'm going to try lowering the vRam clock.

I was getting artifacts in dota 2 in flickering when i tried these drivers, going back to previous ones for now
After further testing I am getting a large amount of stuttering as some others are also. I know this is probably due to crossfire with my 7970's and I'm sure these will be optimized at some point soon with a new driver,. I can see where everyone is coming from with issues here and there which are going to be the norm with a new release.
I don't think its fair to judge AMD at this point as just 12 hours ago people were shouting "where is it".
Given time I think they will sort it out, I know its frustrating but hey, there is an alternative with DX11 to carry us over.

I don't think that will work. I am running my cards at stock 1000/1375.

I think it's using why over the Vram and hitting the hard drive/SSD caching.

I'm not a hardcore benchmarker but just ran a quick BF4 comparison.
my system
5760x1080
msi r9 290 gaming @ 1100/1400
5670k @ 4.2ghz
16gb ram
BF4 ultra to high settings.
1.Landing on back of carrier 2.running up steps and lots going on!
(Fraps) dx11 13.12
1:49-50 fps
2:40-42 fps
(Realmware) Mantle 14.1beta
1:56-57fps
2:47-48fps
So about 15% quicker for me.

I can see a difference too, it's very noticeable tbh,
the green numbers in the corner used to say 100, now they say 125!!!
Yea get some massive fps drops now and then not often tho

Running i7 2600k @ 4.6 g 7990 stock clocks under volted.
Can't see any difference in fps between DX & Mantle.
If anything Mantle is running worse for me. I'm getting huge CPU spikes every few minutes. The screen pauses and the spike line in the performance overlay goes off the screen.
Running DX the spike just goes to the top of the overlay box.
I'm hoping this is a driver problem in beta 14.1. Gone back to DX for now.

I gave it a go earlier and saw performance decreases. Now admittedly I'm on a 280X so didn't expect to see any real improvements but I'm getting bigger drops (down to 30fps) and more often. Changed it back to DX and it was much smoother. I'll wait until Mantle is properly supported before trying again.

I have the same card and a i5 3570k @ 4.6 and i got these results....
Old drivers...
Min, Max, Avg
29, 58, 39.170
New Mantle drivers...
Min, Max, Avg
45, 65 55.330
Definatly a good difference.
full 64 player shanghai same spot as in the empty server test.
dx11 48fps
mantle 82fps
from limited gameplay it feels much smoother on mantle and no drops below 60 in general play BUT....
there is a huge lag spike issue as the game will occasionally freeze for almost a full second. so mantle is currently good and bad

I will add this to the OP to clear up some confusion. Read the known issues.

It's not mate, honest you wasting your time. If you had issue with system Ram you would just BSOD.

Overall i think it's a good, positive start for Mantle, the performance is definitely there and easy to see, although if only for single 290/x users at the moment.
Performance has increased by around 15-20% for me which is great.
It's not without issues though and tbh, i didn't expect anything different, i get stuttering occasionally with by the looks of things seems to be a memory leak issue.
But i have no doubt that in the coming weeks these problems will be ironed out and all GCN cards will get support aswell as a crossfire fix.
very much looking forward to Thief now and what improvements that will bring over DX.

Humbug, Did you notice if the GPU usage or CPU usage went up when running This ?

How do you get these results. I can't see any in game benchmark (like there is in batman) can you let me know where to find it?
