***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

I can presume he was, don't see any harm in it. The 7900 launch and the performance drivers that arrived almost a year after launch will forever be an example of how not to launch a GPU. Imagine how far tahiti would have outsold GK104 by if it was released with that kind of performance.
 
80fps is impressive indeed, throw a swift into the mix to deal with the minimums and you're laughing.

For what it is, it's an impressive card, just hope gm200 offers something on a whole other level!
 
I'm fairly sure they don't use over voltage in any oc testing, a simple case of move the slider, which may well explain the 290x and 780ti clocks.

iirc the reasoning behind it is so someone inexperienced doesn't see the results at say 1.4v and use that as a 24/7 setting, likely cooking something in the process.
 
Some vendor paste jobs are absolutely sickening, msi especially.

I remember it taking me near an hour and a half to clean the dies on a pair of msi 7970's. It was everywhere.
 
I think it is drivers Greg, I had a run around on the new drivers last night and although gsync smoothed things out, you could tell by the perf graph something wasn't quite right.
 
Saw lots of replies in here thought a new patch or something had come out.

But nope, someone's touched the mantle nerve again :rolleyes:

Every time someone doubts or questions mantle, that person gets jumped on like their opinion isn't relevant. Leave it out and get along.

Different people have different perceptions, deal with it.

A little Austrian fella 75 years ago wanted everyone to fall in line with his view, look how well that worked out :p
 
**Possible SLI FIX!!!**

While lurking around reddit earlier I saw a post from a chap saying that adjusting CPU affinity on the fly greatly increased his frame rates in the latest AC and FC games. So I thought what the hell, lets try it with BF4 and see what happens, I had suspected nothing, its already a well multi-threaded game...

SLI users will be familiar with performance looking like this as of late...

Alt+tab out and run the affinity profile...

I also appear to have gained 9fps in the process too...

I am now wondering if the latest Nvidia drivers (*344 branch) are to blame for recent poor sli performance, perhaps its release to coincided with a windows update that did something to CPU and priorities?

Either way it feels smoother, frame rates are a little higher and the graph isn't going ape all the time. Good times :D

I been having issues with BF4 lately and GPU and CPU spiking.. Only seems to happen with Crossfire enabled and on both Mantle and Dx11..

When running LatencyMon the issue point at DirectX kernel driver being the issue.

Have you/Can you try the affinity fix I posted above? Interested to see if it helps out in any other situation rather then recent SLI issues

Is shangalang still the most demanding map? Git them all but rarely monitor stuff in game now. Iirc my vram use is 1900mb Ono, min fps in the 80's on most maps.

Give or take yeah, just had a quick run and file log, averaging around 100fps, ultra 4xaa at 1440p on shanghai, max vram is around 2700mb iirc.
