No hot key?

No hot key?
Once you type it once, it should be saved. Just open the console, press down and hit enter.
Soldato
Yeah, just lazy 
Cheers.
Cheers.

Does ab fraps etc not work under mantle guys?
Caporegime
Nope. No overlay works. The only way you can monitor fps in BF4 is using the console command.
Caporegime
Ahh, in sure that will be addressed soon mate. My experience of mantle use is limited, 290 with my nephews 3570k, s cpu i had myself with sli 670s and it was poor, had to go to a 3770k which really helped.

You tried it? What did you think and how long ago was it? I guess for single card it won't feel too much different.
Hey is Origin messing up for anyone? Reinstalled windows today and im trying to download BF4 expansion packs but it keeps coming up with a download error.

Has it downloaded them but Battlelog saying the DLC needs to download then does nothing? If so come speak to uncle paul on origin and i'll sort you out (had exact same issue!)
BF3 is a noob-pocalypse just now, went 69-11 on Bizaar

Thanks PG Tips, it seems to be working now thankfully.
Meanwhile, a cheeky plug for my BF4 Mantle footage. Three hours 38 minutes from start to finish on hard.

Was a few months ago mate, and yes it felt pretty good. Not quite as smooth as on my 4770k and 780. But, the i5 was at stock and my i7 is at 4.5ghz. Id like to try the 290 in my setup, but tbh a 4770k isn't gonna be a bottleneck with that chip. My old i7 930 @4ghz would be a better chip to test with.

Just having a little fiddle to see how high you can push the res scaling with 7970CF @Ultra/4xAA and it seems that 120% is about the limit before you run into VRAM trouble (on Shanghai at least), and I saw a peak of 2995GB.
Shame, because they have the grunt to push at least 150% maxed out with very good frames...
Wouldn't mind seeing what happens at actual resolutions, rather than just scaled.

Get a pair of 290's, you will never look back
Already got 3 and I'm not really bothered tbh. 7970's do all I need them to do @1080p
Was just curious about the vram thing after our little test the other day
