That is just being pedantic. People speak in analogies all the time. No different than claiming you 'owned someone' or 'laid waste to'. Give me a break, everyone who read that quote understood the claim was ridiculing the card in performance Most's issue with the claim were not grammar-police related but understanding ridicule would mean a huge lead in performance....
I see this sentiment often that it's not good for AMD if nVidia is faster in games they sponsor. It should be obvious by now that AMD doesn't concentrate on making games perform worse on nVidia cards. It's good for gamers. That's all any of us should care about. All AMD gets is early optimization advantage. Rather than seeing it as a negative for AMD you should simply see it as a positive. Especially if you own nVidia hardware.
While that's possible and it was an APU demo, I still think they were also trying to show a best case scenario. FWIU (and this is 2nd hand info) the "up to 45% in BF4" isn't meant as up to 45% in one spot of one map, it's up to 45% boost in BF4 overall/avg. depending on hardware. Remember this is just one game, so it can't be extrapolated as meaning all games will be up to 45%, just BF4. Other games could be more or less. This is an early implementation and not on an ideal game genre (fps as opposed to rts, for example), so it should get even better as more mantle optimizations are explored.
If you're testing GPU performance, what difference does it make whether the server is empty or full?
CPU performance on the other hand relies on a populated server, because the more players you have the more CPU power is needed...
GameGPU knows this, which is why their CPU test used a populated server.
Because that's not how BF3 or BF4 works, 64 player servers punish GPUs in an entirely different way. Contrary to your logic and what all players know. Empty server is a gimmick bench and useless.
It's like none of you guys here have actually played BF4. It doesn't matter how many players are in the server. If it isn't being rendered, then it doesn't meaningfully contribute to the GPU bottleneck. 64-player large conquest is all about map-size and draw distance crushing CPUs. And explosions too.

Yes, and all theories have good supporting evidence. Whilst the BF4 benchmark I posted doesn't admittedly constitute good evidence (I basically posted that to show you that you were wrong in saying that the 290x was faster than the Titan in BF4), the benchmarks at PClab.pl do:
Benchmarks
These benchmarks show beyond a doubt that what I'm saying is true.

The only games in this benchmark that have a CLEAR lead on Nvidia are BF4, Black Flag (which also is a TWIMTBP game) and Witcher 2 using quad cores. All around, AMD seems to perform better on dual core than Nvidia, even beating out the quad cores.
The rest of them are just showing a difference of 1-5 FPS, in favor of both AMD and Nvidia depending on the game..
Don't forget some of the features have been disabled in the PC version of BF4. Such as grass movement when walking or crawling through it. Trees and bushes reacting to explosions and wind.
Mantle patch delayed until February.

Actually people who are hyping it are mid range PC user.
