Has AMD stated that the HD 7000 cards are now fully optimized for Mantle?Thoughts anyone?
I thought that the R9 280 & HD 7000 cards were still under-supported.

no, indeed they didn't state anything about this to me better than 14.2 for sure...but far from full playability...Has AMD stated that the HD 7000 cards are now fully optimized for Mantle?

Vram usage ATM in Mantle is different from D3D...until they fix it to avoid memory leak.We had a short run with a 7850 1g and it was very bad - like unusable. Will try different setups and settings tomorrow.
not properly, 'cause it's true without a doubt that hardware setups are so many and there can be so many minor bugs, really hard to see sometimes by internal testing,...that becomes almost natural to get the users feedbacks/reports and fix the issues...rather maybe they should begin to do this kind of job better than before.....helping others doing their job but not getting payed...
I think Dice fixed the memory leak, or at least "a" memory leak.Vram usage ATM in Mantle is different from D3D...until they fix it to avoid memory leak.
Van what drivers were you using? did you uninstall your old drivers before instaling the betas *that seems to be one of the biggest in causing stuttering; not fully deleting old drivers*
do you know if the combination of those commands was what made the experience better? Im still trying to figure out the first one you listed (thread.processorcount), because default value is -1 default.
no, already explained to you...but you don't want to understand :biggrin: don't you? Maybe just one is not so powerful but the Mantle parallelism in rendering is different from D3D parallelism, so if you have 4-8 cores the performance must be better (definitely never worse) frametime etc.You guys with 7850's aren't seeing good performance because your card isn't powerful enough to see a cpu bottleneck. Especially if you aren't running low settings in game.
Mantle is ideal for people going for 120fps to match their refresh rate. If you have enough GPU horsepower to be cpu bottlenecked at your graphics settings mantle is going to scream.

then, two 7850's can cause more bottlenecks, instead, 'cause sometimes they are together more powerful than a single 7970...and less CPU overhead helps crossfire, already been documented...
but the main issue now with these cards is the Vram usage and lack of optimization...not the pure performance...and if a Pitcairn doesn't stutter and no weird fps drops in D3D at 1080p it has not to stutter in Mantle too...easy.
If it does, instead, there is clear problem about Vram, testing and optimization...
Turn off AA for the time being, Mantle doesn't seem to play nice with AA enabled in BF4 for now- or at least what I've gathered, I've had it bad on Zavod 311 with both 2x and 4x MSAA but with it turned off it's smooth as butter, but keep post-aliasing at high, it looks better even with no MSAA.
Hmm, I will give this a try tonight. I hate playing with no AA, but if it makes it smooth its worth a try until a fix is out.
If that doesn't work, will try the config change for the number of cores. Although I think I really need all 4, not sure 3 is enough with my CPU.

Just an update about my stuttering troubles on some DX games. After cleaning up my pc of annoying apps like teamviewer or adobe updater, it seems to work smoother. Still some stutters from time to time, but i see an overall improvement.
