More or less yeah, depends on map entirely though.

Metro 2014 has to be the least demanding of the lot though, I can average 200fps with my CPU at 3.5ghz

Yeah metro easy, how about new maps

Metro and locker the least demanding.

Had a quick benchmarking session as i've not done it since 13.12 i think.
Will test some more maps tomorrow.
Played as an Engineer in all games and tried not to stay static for more than a few seconds where possible.

iirc on all the naval strike maps I average anywhere from 140-160fps, shanghai still the most demanding, that churns out somewhere around 130-140fps avg.

Very nice on single card, what setting was this using?

uksoldierboy · 24 Apr 2014 at 23:23

Cheers shankly, Ultra settings, FOV 90, no blur 4xMsaa. 1080P.

Cheers pal, the only issue i have now is heat

hence the card at stock,
moved into a new place and it's like a damn oven constantly, which of course has raised temp by quite a bit unfortunately.

so for now at least i'm running it at stock, which in truth is fine, the card is more than powerful enough.

Mantle 32bit vs 64bit Wow!

First time I have used 32bit in BF4 and its with Mantle not tried DirectX yet.

The difference 64bit makes is unreal, I never thought it would be that much. Could be very different on DX11 though.

Mantle 32bit

Mantle 64bit

LtMatt · 25 Apr 2014 at 15:21

Mantle didn't work on 32 bit last time i tried, but that was a while ago. DX11 works fine though, but im sure performance was lower than 64 bit.

Yeah I wasn't expecting it to work tbh I know Thief wont allow Mantle+32bit
I was expecting a crash or a default to DX11

DirectX - not sure but 32bit did feel more smoother lol not sure but looking at the Performance Graph of Both DX you can see its all over the place. So as you can see 64bit DX vs Mantle on my system the boost is unreal.

~130 FPS is roughly what i get with Mantle, but because of my crumy CPU its up from ~60, not 85.

mmm on Single Card? this was using Crossfire. Mind going take a screenshot on All Ultra with no MSAA and 90FOV please

Single card yes but not on flat out Ultra Preset, if i turn the IQ settings down a bit yes, the GPU does not have enough grunt to do 130 FPS there on Ultra Preset.

I don't actually know what it is, i think its about 80 or 90.

Ok I was going to say, why you getting same FPS as Xfire on Ultra. There me thinking something was up lol

What os are you guys running? Win7 64 here, but during my "research" earlier, there seems to be a concensus that win8/8.1 gives a better experience. I can get 8.1 for free but unsure about installing it after all ive read.

I am on W7 for now but as soon as I go Fibre BB, I will be switching to W8. I CBA messing about, so want to start a fresh and not wanting to DL at 500K a second

@Matt
Remeber the other week we had a lad on here with performance issue. We was talking about PCI-e lane etc
I wonder if he is running 32bit lol

LtMatt · 25 Apr 2014 at 16:15

Shankly Mantle does not work on 32bit. I just tried launching the game via 32 bit and there is no Mantle option. Mantle is 64 bit only!

I also see no performance difference (during my brief test) between 32 bit and 64 bit on DX. If there is a difference its small.

There is something up with the BF4 servers i think. I get a minor cpu lag spike every minute or so regardless of if i use DX or Mantle. That was not there when i last played so something is up.

Anyway couple of screens

1080P Ultra Preset + x4AA

DX11.1

Mantle

Mantle still offers the superior gaming experience. DX is horrid in comparison to Mantle.
