***THE BF4 BENCHMARKS THREAD***

Zero stuttering or crashes on my 780 or 970. Think you're over exaggerating a little. People don't really talk when everything is going well, only when they have issues. I've seen AMD folk complaining about Mantle in BF4 still, however I'm not going to over exaggerate like you and say loads of reports of crashing in BF4 with Mantle.

Chill bro, only going by what I see in other forums from the latest games. Dont believe me go and check them out.
 
A little banter is good for the souls and nobody should take it personal. I feel we all share the same passion as PC enthusiasts and want out fellow gamers/builders/benchers to have no problems, regardless of vendor.... I must confess to having a rye smile when my nVidia cards knock down those 290Xs though but all in good spirit.

On saying that though, nobody should be baiting or rude and this is where the line gets crossed in here at times. Keep it civil and play nice and everyone can get along without deletions :)

I agree, but with posts like you did earlier:
Hopefully it won't take 10 months to get the guys with 980s/970s smoothly gaming.

(Reference to the 10 months it took for 7970s to get the framepacing drivers i assume)

Is kind of counter-productive isnt it :confused:

If im wrong can you please correct me and elaborate?
 
I get zero crashes in Mantle so I'm surprised people are, it just gets CPU spikey after 5 minutes and it's doing my head in.

Anyone know how to force Mantle without being in the game so I can get past this DX error?

Yes Go to Documents, Battlefield 4, Settings

Open with NotePad+ "PROFSAVE_profile" Find and Change this line from 1 to 0

GstRender.MantleEnabled 1

Edit if already 0 = DirectX so to use Mantle change to 1
 
I cannot get this frigger to run in DX now, even re downloaded game last night fresh and will not run in DX mode. Because I was getting CPU spiking in Mantle, I wanted to run in DX and see what was what and now can't run in anything as game crashes on load :-( Can play all other games with DX... BF4 is annoying me yet again

If you are running Afterburner quit it before you launch BF4 for the first time. I had similar problems to you and this solved it. Somebody else posted ths information in this thread.

Mantle for me is not working either. Waiting for DICE to sort the game.

10 months to get the performance on 7900 (Never Settle performance drivers), frame pacing was ~18months on from launch, though not something anyone was particularly fussed about until PCPer brought it to light..

Anyhow, since the server reboot a few days after the latest patch everything has been visibly smoother for me in BF4. Strange how before the server reboot I didn't notice much then loads straight after. Makes me wonder if 99% of reported performance issues with this game are server side issues that can't be avoided by the consumer.

What i meant is that if i am wrong in thinking he was refering to this id like him to correct me :)
 
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.
 
That's not what Greg was implying. He didn't mean lost in translation literally...

Then what? There's a recurring thing with you brits where you wont say what you actually mean, its all based on assumptions and implying.

Atleast from my point of view, maybe it is a "translation" thing with my understanding of the English language :rolleyes:

Edit: Maybe im just stupid... :(

Nah I just think you Scandinavians take things a bit too literally and serious.

He basically meant you didn't see the joke, not that you didn't understand it.

Like i said:

Yea, maybe you're right. Ill assume Gregster didnt mean any harm then.

This is what I've thought with bf4 all along, as I've pretty much exhausted every known tweak/fix that I can find online. Whilst the latest patch has helped a good deal, the vanilla game is still nowhere near the polished feel of CTE.

The Fall Patch runs the same for me, it ran well before it anyway, but they haven't fixed some of the bugs, Net Code / Hit Detection is still just as bad...

Its also introduced new annoyances, high server and client ping's (very noticeable in Latency) randomly enemy and friendly indicators disappear so you don't know whose friend or foe.

The Game is really beginning to #%£$ me off now.
