Hello everyone,
As you may know, the Battlefield 4 patch has been launched today. This new patch is automatically installed on systems that already have Battlefield 4 installed. To take advantage of the Mantle API and experience the performance increase, you will need to meet the following prerequisites:
1. Have a GCN (Graphics Core Next) based GPU in your system
2. Install the latest Battlefield 4 patch from Origin (which is automatically installed)
3. Install the latest graphics driver, the AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta (coming soon)
With the above in place, youll be ready and Mantle will be enabled.
The upcoming AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta driver will support all desktop GCN products, though we are working with EA to further optimize performance on 280X, 270X, HD 7000 and HD 8000 series GPUs.
Furthermore, were giving the press time to exclusively test the beta driver while we implement the finishing touches on all the features you can expect from this driver.
Please keep in mind Catalyst 14.1 is a beta driver and your feedback is very important to us; once its released, you may report any issues or bugs by using our official reporting form: www.amd.com/betareport
Im going to keep you up to date and will make sure to provide you links to the upcoming Catalyst 14.1 Beta driver as soon as its ready.
Thank you for your patience
