I'm curious if anyone experienced an improvement with mantle in Battlefield 4. Before using mantle, I was getting around 50 to 60 fps on Ultra, but now it's about 40 fps or so—luckily staying above 30. It still feels a bit choppy, though. Your system specs are a Gigabyte R9270X with 2GB RAM, an NVMe 1TB drive, and a 10000 rpm spindle.
Mantle is unusual. It changes between systems. Simply give it a try and check if it suits you.
Confirmed, around a 50% boost in FPS. Details included in the notes.
R9 280x and R9 290x will perform better with Mantle, whereas R9 270x may experience significant GPU spikes, causing frequent FPS fluctuations. I don’t have much info on VRAM yet.
In fact, I achieved a 25 FPS improvement on my R9 270x using Mantle.
It's actually a Sapphire R9 270 with the same parts, just slowed down. I changed it to 1000MHz and it feels like a more affordable version of the 270.
