Something really strange is happening.

Over the past week or so i have been inching up the BF4 settings in Mantle and then playing for a few hours to try and find the highest settings possible for my miserable 2GB of vRam.

I'm now running everything on High and low post AA, including the two dreaded texture settings which on anything over medium usually cause the Memory to run away with its self ending in stuttering.

This time; not only is it stutter free but i have seen my vRam hit 2.2GB (on a 2GB card,) this according to the BF4 Mantle overlay, and it just soldiers on, seemingly quite happy.

So, i'm going to continue to inch those settings up, next its from SSAO to HBAO.

You don't need more VRAM you need mantle to sort its memory usage out. I'd just wait for it to be fixed if I were you as it's clearly a big. The game sing that intensive.
 
Is anybody having audio issues in xfire on the 14.2 drivers,as I've just changed from a fx8350 to a 4770k and I'm getting audio distortion and crackling in crysis 3 but if I disable xfire the distortion stops,has anybody had this problem.

The AMD rep dude that registered a few weeks ago PMed me. I can dig out the email if you like hold on.

Me - Hey Sam

I just wanted a heads up on Mantle for my 7970s. I only really play bf4 so it's a real big thing for me, been eagerly waiting since it was first announced but it's taken so long to sort out for us guys with anything other than 290 cards. Do you know when it'll be fixed?

Any info greatly appreciated.

Dave

Him - Hello David,

I'm hoping it will be included in the WHQL driver we're planning to release in April. I'm supposed to get more details about this driver in before then, and when I do, I'll make sure to email you and let everyone know.

Best,
Sam T from AMD

Well it's time I got rid of some junk on my SSD drive so a fresh W8 install for this release sounds good :)

That's a stinker of a bug. May have to use custom 2d clocks in afterburner.
