It shouldn't make that much difference, iirc the vast majority of 780 oc editions boost to 1000+MHz out of the box which by contrast can also make it difficult to compare with other cards. 1100+MHz oob boost is certainly on the higher end of the 780 scale though.
As Matt said though maybe its down to the drivers you're on, haven't read much into the latest amd betas but I do remember some saying the previous mantle betas had a negative effect on DX.
Aye the plx chips are usually what you'll find on dual GPU cards (i know the 690 uses one anyhow) and the higher end motherboards (m6e, oc force etc...). These WS boards are often insanely good In the PCI dept, a shame they usually lack a good set of oc utilities for fine tuning etc... iirc the x79 WS is one of the only boards that will do 16/16/16/16.
Don't jinx it, my p8z77 ws comes today.
It'll be fine I'm sure as it should have the usual p8 oc feature set
Not updated my drivers in a few weeks but sli was a solid 98% each card for me at the weekend.
It's good that it does as often workstation boards have the primary focus of xeons, virtualization and ecc ram
I'm not sure about how it is with 14.3 betas but I think the memory leak thing was still an issue on the 7000 series with 14.2. Though I think 14.3 was mainly an update for thief.
Isn't input lag governed by the panel not the fps driven through it? I was always under the impression the competitive fps high frames (particularly quake engine) was down to having something render on screen a split second quicker to give the player an edge
You dont have to fire up BF4 to change API.
Documents > Battlefield 4 > Settings > PROFSAVE_profile (I open this with Wordpad) then..
GstRender.MantleEnabled 0 = DX
GstRender.MantleEnabled 1 = Mantle
Then just hit Save.
Job done
Out of curiosity as to what would happen I changed this to mantle with my nvidia cards, I was expecting and error code or something but the game just defaults its self back to dx11
I have a new suggestion. Make the file read only after you select Mantle and see what happens.
Unfortunately when it defaults back to DX it doesn't change anything in the settings, it must be a fall back option if it fails to see a mantle compatible card.
