With D3D the thing crawled to like 5 fps most of the time. Holy crap man, the waiting paid of and they can squeeze more performance for sure.

Well I still don't think 7750 is Mantle compatible, I believe it started from 7790. I could be wrong, and that's just a bug, but I really thought it started with 7790 and upwards.

No, all GCN based GPU's are compatible.

How can I enable Mantle in BF4? When I enter in options crash... -_-"

Please let us know if you manage to fix it somehow :bang:

I have heavy stutter on BF4 and at the same time it stutters, it drops the FPS to low 30's. I guess it's the game, since Star Swarm was flawless.

I'm using Power Color HD 7950 PCS+ but after installing mantle driver, It detected mine as R9 200. Help?

Thanks, guys. 🙂 Mantle works in Star Swarm. 🙂 Looking good so far. Making some tests now. Too bad each test takes 6 minutes. :P Time for coffee.

You can edit the configuration file and reduce test time.

I'm also crashing in BF4 just trying to open the Options menu! Windows 7 Pro SP1 x64 Star Swarm benchmark on Steam instantly crashes upon clicking the "Mantle" button.

Make sure you restarted your computer when you installed the driver. Fixed the crashes for me.

Rebooted several times after installing 14.1, Options menu crash persists.

Any help on this? I did a clean uninstall and reinstall but still it apparently detect my GPU as R9 200?

With single card BF4 was stuttering.. but with crossfire.. it was awesome! 1080p @ ultra.. 180 avg.. never below 150... tho some odd cpu spikes every 3-4 min that cripples the fps to 11 or something for a millisecond.. tho is expected for new tech 🙂

Also getting very high occasional CPU spikes in BF4 with Mantle enabled which cause the FPS to drop significantly. No such spikes when using DX11. I removed all mentions of DX11, as well as other custom variables (except MaxVariableFps, DrawFps etc) created by BF4 Settings Editor from user.cfg now to see if there may be conflicts causing this problem but won't be able to test this theory until tomorrow evening.

don't know if AMD hates me or doesn't want me to download the 14.1, the speed is awfully slow, i don't know which one is faster, snail or downloading from AMD. @Asder : could you tell hillbert to upload the file to guru3d ? because the guru3d link only redirect to AMD site, and AMD site doesn't support resume, ever since AMD doesn't allow hotlinking. haven't been able to download the driver at all, because of this. oh and the Mega link, is useless for me, i never been able to download from MEGA, it often stopped at random percent, and i rarely able to download anything from MEGA.

If you have Firefox installed, you can use the Mega add-on Extension which allows for a much better downloading experience. You can download from my Dropbox account: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821557/MEGA%7B2.0.92%7D.zip
