Worth upgrading from 13.11 on a 7970? I wish someone would bench games after each driver iteration to see if there's any benefits/downsides to them.

I've done a few. The last three should be single gpu and the other multi gpu.![]()
Go and do the new set!
I'm bored of doing it.
However once Mantle hits i will thoroughly test Battlefield 4 DX11 API Vs Mantle API on single card and crossfire.![]()

Thanks Matt. You've not done the newest ones though!![]()
I don't think much has changed since i did my last test and that was 13.11 beta 6. Once we move to 13.12 ill consider it. Waiting for Mantle really. That's the next big thing to be excited about.
Is mantle going to be implemented in 13.12?
Mantle will only give us BF4 comparisons though. You'll need to do the other games with 13.12![]()
Well I must say going to 13.11 latest beta improved my batman orgins game massively. Was on 13.9 before. I must say though the game still feels jerky with mouse and I am getting 60 fps most of the time. Any idea i am using a g9. Is this mouse or some gfx setting.
Just to add all my DPI setting and polling rates are maxed.
Via google translate from the reviewer at Hardware.fr it seems!
Nvidia up to their dirty tricks again...AMD not allowed to provide any optimizations for Batman AO.

The chap who quotes it is the Hardware.fr senior editor:

They are the main hardware review website in France.
You've got very little chance of it getting fixed because Nvidia/Warner brothers blocked AMD designing performance optimisations that could be implemented into the game.
Credit to Cat the filth for spotting this.
Thats shocking. disgusting behaviour, i wonder if Nvidia are behind this?
Who else would gain from blocking AMD going in to optimize for the game.
Why cant they all just get along I know as i am a big RPGer that the new dragon age is going to probably use mantle (frostbite engine) So I will probably get a 290x or 290 crossfire. But its annoying when a game seems optimised to hell for a GPU. So whatever GPU i get some of my games wont run as well as they should![]()
