Without a WHQL driver. Looking for Mantle patches is rather pointless. And sofar AMD only got a Q1 target with a beta driver. Thief will not ship with Mantle either.
God forbid we want more info
I am just saying the BF4 update page is not the right place to look, if you wish to know when Mantle is coming.
Mantle patch delayed until February.

I'm dead. AMD killed me.
The tweets from Roy stating otherwise doesn't build any confidence either. We are only a couple days away from February.........won't take long to tell either way what is "categorically true" and what isn't.
Not exactly unexpected..........

A lot of games that require drivers, deliver the drivers with the installation of the game. I see no reason why the first Mantle drivers couldn't come with a patch.Without a WHQL driver.

Mantle may not even be bundled into the standard AMD drivers. It may be an optional download, much like OpenCl was at first.
Interestingly, in one of those fake Mantle videos, the guy went into hisMantle may not even be bundled into the standard AMD drivers. It may be an optional download, much like OpenCl was at first.
What does that prove? PhysX drivers come with the Nvidia drivers too, but if you don't have PhysX drivers and install a PhysX game, you get PhysX drivers installed by the game.You might have missed this:
Its worth noticing too, that Thief that comes next month, is not mentioned at all. One can only speculate when, or if that game gets Mantle support as previous proclaimed.

We are aiming to get a new update live for all platforms at the end of January/beginning of February (timing might change.) This update will include a number of stability improvements, tweaks, and fixes. We will get back to you with the change notes as the update goes live.
The benchmark has been suggested to be up on Steam by the end of the month... Lets see if the mantle patch drops this week and the benchmark populates prior to the BF4 patch.
That would be interesting only because it would be a political change and mean that AMD is no longer waiting around for Dice. I hope they can get their crap together though and it doesn't come to that.
That was posted today: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065224040922298/
It makes sense that AMD, right now, would be waiting for DICE, but where are the Mantle drivers? Is AMD also having some delays, or simply waiting for some reason?
