go in to your bios and disable your intel GPU completely, seems to be solving the issue for most who are having it.

See, I run a extra monitor that's not for gaming off my iGpu, so that's really not a fix for me. I'm running 3 screen eyefinity in bf4 too. Hopefully they fix the options menu before my second r9 280x arrives.

Oh and I don't even have the mantle drivers yet and haven't even attempted to enable mantle.

I put my 7990 back into my PC for the lulz with mantle and got worse performance over my GTX 780 running on DirectX.

I think i'll wait until AMD fix their drivers before I make my final judgement however as Crossfire doesn't work on these new drivers, just like they haven't done for the past couple releases.

Its says right on the release notes that crossfire is not supported yet.

Crossfire hasn't worked for the past previous versions that AMD have released so I couldn't care less what release notes say because AMD seems to do a terrible job of putting accurate information in the release notes anyway.

How are you guys doing the benchmark?

you have to download the star swarm Benchmark from steam then have the beta driver installed. when the program is up, you check "time run (6min)" if it isn't already checked then run it in DX or mantle.

I just clicked it. The 7950 isn't fully supported in Mantle yet so it might not be supported in the benchmark. 

I benchmarked my 7950 it read it as a R9 200 series but it worked.

the newest driver fixed the pacing issue from what I heard, but as to this moment mantle doesn't support crossfire.

Anyone else getting some square artifacts on their task bar?

I tried playing 1080p video and had to close it since my GeForce 7025 got too hot from my overclock...

doesn't fraps record minecraft which is open gl

 

Now to think of it, yes. And I have used it before with Minecraft.

 

However, it doesn't work with Mantle. So when I try to run it with Mantle, Fraps doesn't show the FPS or do anything, it just gives me an error popup advising me to get the latest DirectX update.

What did you use to record the FPS data?

Recording Battlefield 4's Mantle with OBS when others programs fail.... or are too system heavy.

Mantle give you some extra performance?, you want to record as you used to before WITH that extra FPS.

Mantle does not use Directx pathways hence Directx based game recording software is having trouble recording with their specific "game capture" hooks,.. Mantle gives off a white or black screen in fullscreen mode when you try to record it

Less CPU overhead from Mantle, performance boost, so if you had been recording before you still can, but with even more game-playable FPS.

 

Read my post here - https://teksyndicate.com/forum/pc-gaming/recording-battlefield-4s-mantle-obs/169824

 

Or Watch a few separate video's I created while figuring it all out.

 

 

You will drop fps due to recording with the CPU.

But you would do that anyway, even without Mantle, using DX, so the comparison is valid.

:)

 

FYI - To those who think I'm about promoting my page, your entitled to that opinion, However....> I'm really not, this is for informing the people about a HOW-TO video

The reason THESE video's were made is due to I have not seen one around yet,..... so quickly after Mantle dropped, so I made them.

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

While that's actually nice and all and I will probably use it in the future, my interest in FRAPS is not in video recording at all. My interests are in recording FPS performance (min/max/avg...) and exporting them to a file. FRPAS can't do that with Mantle, so I'm look for a program that can.

That's from the star swarm stress test available on steam, only bench that supports mantle currently.

Ahh

 

Starswarm gives you those results, as does BF4 with their PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 0 command. Once you set it to 1, it starts, set to 0, it saves to your documents battlefield 4 folder.

I see, thanks. And while I do know about PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable I don't really know how to interpret the numbers I get from the file to frames per second as I am not really "in the know" with Excel. Do you guys know how I can use them?

I was kinda hoping there would be ~8 pages of new BF4 benchmarks to look through, but oh well...

 

On a side note, how close is StarSwarm to being released?
