**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

Mantle at the moment is total rubbish when using quadfire, I get the same when using my 290Xs.
If you use DX11 quadfire works and scales very well.
This could be a good chance for Mantle to show what it can really do, using DX11 and multiple GPUs limits you to about 120fps as there is an awful CPU bottleneck. If they get it right for Mantle and multiple GPUs it will be quite easy to double the performance you can get from DX11.
Lets see how good the Thief Devs are.......

Do these install ok on Vista 64-bit?
I'm still baffled how Windows XP has been given Mantle containing drivers for both 32- and 64-bit, but until 14.4 at least, Vista has been dumped by AMD and left with 13.12s as the latest supported driver.

Will be getting a new OS with at least one pc upgrade this year, quite possibly next week if the "k" Devils Canyon CPUs shows as more than a paper launch.
I have a "perfectly good" OEM Vista sitting here, same on my better half's pc which has the MSI 2GB 7850OC, I don't see why we should have to fork out for a new OS to get Mantle drivers, when XP from ~15 years ago already has official Mantle driver support.
Same 2 questions I ask on every driver release although believe the first has already been answered and its a no.
Is crossfire fixed in BF4 for 7xxx cards?
And
Have AMD sorted out the power/sound issue with AV receivers?
Cheers.

Thief patch to enable Crossfire in Mantle is coming today.
Any sign of this yet ?
Not yet. I have steam open and will let you know when it updates. I don't know what timezone Eidos are working to im afraid. It may not be till late tonight if they're in the states.
I will give it a blast tomorrow morning when I get in from work.
Do you have any guesses what I will get at 1600p.

No idea Kaap. I've barely touched this game. I don't even think i have any benchmark results posted. Once Mantle crossfire support works, that will change though and ill start playing the game, with TrueAudio.
I did a quick test earlier and i get 99% usage on both gpu's and they go to full 3d clocks, but my scores are the same as single card. So the driver is trying to make crossfire work but the game needs that patch to get it working properly.
What power/sound issue with AV receivers?
In this game Mantle has a really good chance to shine if the Thief Devs don't screw it up.
With BF4 and a fast CPU it is easy for DX11 to keep up at high settings but with Thief it is a different story with a serious CPU bottleneck crippling NVidia cards even with SLI working.
Will we be getting Mantle CF as well as DX11 CF today ?
Crossfire already works in DX for Thief. Or did for me when i tested it a few months back. It was working a few days after release when Eidos patched the game. Scaling is good, at 1440P/1600P anyway. 1080P, not so much.
Crossfire worked well for me at 1080p bit only when I clicked on the exclusive full screen option ? Any idea why ?
Yes crossfire does not work in windowed mode, unless you're using Mantle in BF4. In that instance it works to about 65% of its capability. I will test to see if crossfire works in windowed mode in Thief later.
