I'm seeing quite a big difference with this patch (no mantle for me) - its a lot smoother in general though some of the places that bogged down before still bog down, and ~15% FPS increase overall - though mostly in areas that I didn't need any extra FPS :| (i.e. one of the spots I use to test changes has gone from 144 to 167 fps - whereas one of the areas that gets bogged down has only gone from 67 to 72).

from the link a little way back they don't test running a small i5 with a 290x etc, they run an i7 extreme with xfire 290x's, which just seems pointless based on what they were trying to do ?
oh lol AMD xD
"here we see the CPU usage has dropped from 2% to 1%....how amazing is that, it's using half the CPU processing power....."
I don't get it. Are half the patch notes missing? What happened to the AA. Attack chopper, scout tweaks or are they in the server patch?
Otherwise is it another month for those tweaks as they do not release patches 2 weeks in a row.

Thats a shame i'm really starting to like TDM.
Yes more FPS
Mark nvidia fan boy
suck it nexus buy a better card
buy us a 290x then
not a fan boy of either, as there both as bad as each other, was thinking of getting a 280 if mantle didn't help much with my current 7850, just a shame that amd were all "oh mantle..." then on release "oh but it won't be available for all the cards that can use it" well **** off then you *******

I suspect that they are releasing it part-complete because they already delayed it once and if they don't find a way to live up to "it'll be out in January" they will have eggy faces all over again.
Hopefully the remaining GCN cards will be added by the next AMD driver release, rather than by the next BF4 patch.
that's good
hopefully give it a go tonight with my 680s hopefully will reduce the CPU load as currently trying to stream BF4 and play is a bit iffy as BF4 hogs so much of my cpu ([email protected] w/ HT)I had a quick game earlier and didn't really notice much of a difference, single 680. I'll run a few benchmarks tonight compare them with the ones from last night to see if anything has changed.
For the last few days though I have been noticing some framerate drops when playing.

Random fact....
This guy - http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/soldier/chrismireya/stats/804701857/xbox360/
He has 47 Commander service stars.
Yet has still only received the Commander Leadership Ribbon once! lol
To get a Leadership ribbon you need to 'Receive 10 orders followed as Commander'....
That assignment will never be completed....
This, along with not giving orders, is one of the reasons I think you should be able to 'sack' your Squad Leader...
EDIT: What a way to hit my 4000th post.

I should hopefully see quite a nice boost with mantle since my i5 750 is most likely holding the 7850 back.
sod that, man up and lead your own squad to victory ya big girl
.plus, it would nice to have something a bit clearer (for me anyways) that tells you your squad leader if someone leaves and drops you in it.
LOL You miss the great big "YOU ARE THE SQUAD LEADER" in your line of sight.
Maybe some dancing girls or a cutscene of an office and a 5 star general handing you a promotion?
Edit: On the subject of squad leaders who never set objectives, they should be auto demoted if they do not set an objective withing a five minute period (Conquest, Domination and obliteration modes).

This. On both counts (I want me a cutscene, and I want me an auto-demotion).
Preferrably, if you get auto-demoted there's an entire court martial cut scene where you're stripped of your rank and the widows of the men you were supposed to be leading spit in your face then turn away.
Second Assault guns, sounds like you can unlock them early, same thing happened with the CR guns, I see Xfactor has posted a vid about the VAL, not watched it yet...
