Mantle...

oh well im thinking of upgrading cards anyways to a single option. I'll get the flash disk sorted just-in-case i chose an AMD again.
 
What the hell is it, and yes ive googled, but im a simpleton.
Do i need it? Can i use it?

Brilliant and thanks for your helpful input, i'll be sure to make sure i take all the advice and useful information on-board.

I am a bit concerned by your opening post as it is obvious you did not even bother to do a quick search of this forum, if you had you would have posted your question in the correct thread.
 
I did link my mantle thread in my first reply.

What is Mantle? Check this thread.

You can definitely use it with your setup and you will get a big fps boost and your gameplay experience will be improved greatly. So far Mantle works in two games, Battlefield 4 and Thief. Two further games are launching with Mantle support this month, Sniper Elite V3 and Plants Vs Zombies Garden Warfare. There is also a Mantle benchmark called StarSwarm. 20 other Mantle games are in development and will be released over the coming months. See the thread i linked above for further info.

Lambchop, Mantle would be great for 120HZ users. Just look at those minimum fps. Who doesn't like high minimum and average fps? Everyone loves those and this is what Mantle users can look forward to. Lets not forget these ridiculously consistent frame times Mantle offers which makes DX11 look and feel like a chore in comparison.

Call me Lamb, please :)

How do you get 121.9 fps min yet an average of 101.0 ? also, 142.5 min, and 109 average ??
 
Not sure where you would get worried from ;)

That is what mantle does, disregarding the nvidia results, i think mantle does great vs dx11 on amd.

Look at the old Thief thread to see how my dual gpu scores compare, theres none to compare to in the new thread. That is what Mantle can do. Still waiting to see some SLI 1080P scores in Thief since i posted my results. Asked several people and no one has provided any yet. Mind you looking at the 780TI SLI score, i can understand why. :D

You still didnt answer my question of how you can get higher minimums than averages.

To answer your current comment... I have youtubed nvidia benchmarks with a single 780 and its higher than those 780ti sli's.

Lets see it then. Perhaps it might encourage some more multi gpu results to be posted in the thread.

Thief was updated a month or two back and fps went down as a result as more image quality options were added afaik. Btw Alatar posted a score of 99 fps on a single card using disallowed tweaks/hacks before he posted that 95fps score so i highly doubt a single 780 is going to be beating that and a 780TI setup legitimately. But a win is a win right? Gotta be top of that leaderboard lol.
