Hey

When playing BF4 with DX11 im in the 100's for FPS, Smooth as butter, amazballs!

I have been testing mantle out since the new Beta driver came on the scene, I get around 120FPS when running in a straight line or standing still.. As soon as i turn in ANY direction the game Stutters and FPS drops to around 30fps, when i stop turning its back to 100-120!

But and its a big fat but, The game doesn't crash with mantle!
Apart from that its unplayable lol

Anyone else got this issue in BF4 running mantle with Xfire?
 
Like LTMATT told me, use "Render.DrawScreenInfo 1" and see what your GPU ram usage is, I had the same problem as I was using more than 3072mb of RAM and that's when it chops, so I disabled 4xMSSA and it now runs so smooth you could get Kelly Brooke to lick it and she would say... Smmmmooootthhhh

I use the following in my display, with the graph showing any CPU spikes. Mantle now makes my CPU basically flat... the more spikes the more ram you're probably using.

PerfOverlay.Enable 1
Render.DrawScreenInfo 1
PerfOverlay.DrawGraph 1
PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1

Show us the info pug discusses below. We need to see vram usage and the performance overlay.

Have you altered your page file?

Here's what i see with my 290's @1000/1250 in BF4 at 1440P Ultra preset +x4AA.
