~5% gains mostly for high end hardware. Meh. This is not what AMD or their extensive social media/forum marketing team hyped Mantle up to be months ago, IMO.
Early beta driver, things will probably get abit better.
also from that picture bench you posted:
1920x1080 1xAA 1xAF : 111,9 fps / 102,6 fps * 100% = 109%
Mantle gave a
9% increase (not 5%)
1920x1080 4xMSAA 16xAF : 78,9 fps / 70,8 fps * 100% = 111,5%
mantle gave a
11,5% increase (not 5%)
Even at 2560x1600 resolution its 8%-9%.
At 4k resolution the differnce is only ~7% but fps is to low to be playable.
This test was done with a:
Intel Core i7-3960X @ 3.9ghz
AMD Radeon R9 290X (stock)
Maybe people with slower CPUs, that have a 290x will benefit more?
