**THE NVIDIA DRIVERS THREAD**

Mine has speech type which is awesome but if you tried that, it would come back with "Calm down, calm down" :D

I think you said that Mantle is an integral part of BF4 and any BF4 thread will have Mantle in it....

If so, check the thread title and OP. No BF4 in it at all :p

You really expect these drivers to tide you over for 21 months?
DX12 isn't due for release until xmas 2015 and thats if MS manage to stick their own deadlines.

I think you know what I mean, newer drivers will continue to be released after the supposedly big performance gain ones with more optimisations for new games and sli profiles so yes DX11 will do just fine until DX12.

I wouldn't call this single digits.

Mantle 123 FPS vs DX 57 FPS

Didn't you say those screenshots were taken with a weak CPU though? So Mantle is getting that huge difference by removing a CPU bottleneck? I am pretty sure that with a high end CPU the difference is more like single digits or close to.
 
There is that and also the fact that people don't generally sit in once place on one map in BF4. It's why it's better to average out the gains over a period of representative gameplay.

Otherwise it's pointless unless you like sitting there fapping to an FPS number while sitting still. :D

Its not that weak, Matt gets 87 in the same spot with an i7 @ 4.8Ghz.

My CPU performance is similar to that of an i5 in BF4.

Posting best case scenario Mantle screenshots is pointless.

None of us with serious systems and Multi-GPU configs run with such weak CPUs as to give the comparison you are posting.
 
I asked Brian Burke on twitter if the DX11 improvements were just for Star Swarm and Thief, which he replied "General DX improvements and not game specific". That's what we like to hear :)
 
I did some grovelling...

No idea who Geoff is :p

And not to happy about being called a liar in truth. I suggest you show me where I have lied Chief Barker or I am reporting that post. That is nasty.
 
Good to see that theese are reputed to be general gains and not just a few games. I shall wait with baited breath though, im sometimes pretty sceptical when manufacturers/review sites publish fps figures.

Agreed Setter and I am sceptical as well. I will do my own testing and compare when these come out and try a few games to see what actual improvements show.
