***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

Screw the stutter! Come on guys it's all good, I think if someone was to say Mantle makes no difference to the smoothness of play in BF4 then we could all agree that the person has either never used Mantle, or is talking out of their arse.

It does make a difference, i guess how much of a difference is down to the individual.

for me personally, it's very noticeable, switching between Mantle and DX11, but at the same time, if i was to play using DX11 for a few rounds I'm sure that I'd soon get used to it, to the point that i wouldn't even notice anymore.

Greg looking at the vid you posted, yes, that graph could be smoother, its got a lot of spikes in it, if you were to use a Mantle i have no doubt you'd feel the difference.

At the same time you're happy with it, that's all that matters, if you find it perfectly playable, awesome.

DX11 on BF4 is awesome, i was playing it fine before mantle was in place and enjoyed it.
Mantle Awesome-er:D, it makes a great difference, it makes the smooth gameplay on you'd get with DX11, feel even smoother.

Bring on DX12 and future improvement for Mantle, it's going to be great.

Fair play. +1 :)
 
What's the best settings for mantle in the gfx settings of BF4? I haven't played for nearly 3 months and now the "Mantle Renderer" keeps crashing.

Windows 7
Cats 14.6 RC
AMD 7990
16g of system ram
i7 3.2 @ 4.6

Gone back to DX11 for now.

Back on DX11 too. Mantle seemed good for while then lots of lag. I'm suspecting an issue with vram. Aside from that BF4 is running pretty well. Any options I should turn down as most now default to ultra? Also getting cooked in this weather!

Thanks I'll try that. I solved my 1fps issue by uninstalling Afterburner. Needs more investigation but seems to be causing it.

I take it is normal for two cards to kick out a lot of heat? It could get pretty warm with one. Card temps look okay only seen high 70s ºC. Think I just need an air con unit!

Think I may need a faster monitor though. Someone's seem to be dead some way away from where I thought I was standing or is that just BF4s fault?
 
Challenge Kaap!

Quad 290X Vs Quad Titan SLI, 1080P Ultra Settings. Battle of the CPU bottlenecks!

BF4 has some really serious intermittent Lag issues.

You may find that you run behind a wall and start to reload, the next thing you know you die, the kill can shows the killer on the other side of the wall, your hit detection box is still on the spot you ran away from 500ms later.
Other times you may find that your unloading 40 rounds into a ghost, bullets pass right through him like he isn't there, he is but his hit box is 20 feet away from him.

BF4 is full of bugs lick that, its when it runs well its good, when its not its a really bad unplayable game, and it will never get fixed.

High 70s ºC on the GPU is fine.
 
Cheers. Yes I've noticed a few odd things. Let's hope they learn from it and do a better job next time! Saw 87ºC on my top card yesterday. Got another fan to connect up blowing onto the cards which hopefully should cool them down.
 
The hit detection thing now seems to be server related rather then game, had it on the MLG server last Wednesday, seemed to be round and user specific however, those on fiber seem to suffer the least.

The MLG server will be going exclusively dragons teeth as of this evening, CQS/TDM/DOM. So feel free to pop on tomorrow evening so we can all shoot Greg with shotguns and RPGs :p

I'd agree with that, in the short time that i was using fibre, i noticed the problem far less then i do now.

As for shooting Greg in the face with an RPG.. how can i say no!:D
