Anyone else using Mantle and noticing way larger improvements than the "reviews" are claiming?

With my system...

In dx11 @ maximum settings 1920x1080, I get 60'ish fps...
With Mantle @ maximum settings 1920x1080, I get 90'ish fps...
Frame rates seem wildly stable in this game as well.

That's a far cry from 5-10% and I'm not exactly CPU bound...

I really feel the need to post in reply to this..

As of the latest patch my frame rates are all over, I don't get the occasional hard stutter ( guessing from the memory leak? ) that I used to however my FPS at maximum settings tends to go between 45-90 Mantle and 50-70 DX11.
I have not done great record keeping or any long term in game benchmarking just going off what I notice as I'm playing, I'm pretty interested so I'm going to do some better testing.

I actually forgot about the battlescreeen. When I did throw it up on the second screen I didn't really use it. I may give it another shot. A full view of the battlefield is never a bad thing.

Yeah it has really saved my ass a few times (whoa there is a tank around that hill…) besides the simple tactical advantage that a constant full screen map view can provide. Can use see where to spawn while the kill cam is playing; where your squad is and could maybe use some help (or which objective to spot if you are Leader and they are close to or presently taking one). Or where the enemy presence is heaviest. Or to make sure that sniper you are headed back to knife is still in the same spot while you are trucking ass back over there.

Level Cap was nice enough to demostrate how to kill my ass with the DAO-12 at 6:24ish in this video:

You're welcome for that. that was a game you joined on me for.

I finally get the SAUV *.*, but just kill 2 :/, need more practice

boise49ers · Feb 25, 2014

So I had some weird shit happen with my bindings. My gadget 1 will not bind to any key or mouse
button. I can get to it thru scrolling on the mouse, but no binding works.
update: May have found the solution. Bind under slung to the same key.
I'll try it when I get off work.
: It worked. If you are having trouble binding your Gadget 1, make usre you bind the underslung weapon to the same key stroke.

Are they hard to fly ? I need to use the bomber to get it first. Every time I go to get in the
shack it is like standing in line at a restroom, a bunch of guy's hopping around like they are gonna pee their pants.

Patch. Wonder what can we expect?

I hope good things, the game has been a disaster for me since the last one. The audio loop jazz has been back with a vengeance making Dawnbreaker, Metro and Locker unplayable. Big whoop, I don't like any of those maps, but it kills the gaming session and usually makes me to vexed to continue playing.

Wrigleyvillain · Feb 25, 2014

I can't believe I have had no crashes since I started playing again earlier this month. Watch them start again today after this one.

@ShiBDiB We've asked you to stop spamming links to your website. Did you miss the memo/warning?

TPU is a place to discuss PC, gaming, hardware. It is not a place for self-promotion/advertisement.

They're links directly related to the topic and are no different than linking to an article at ign.

All the same thing, but posting one of those gets your post deleted.

erocker · Feb 25, 2014

I don't see IGN here posting links to their website in every post.

You could always post the source too. Actually give credit where it is due.

Source: http://battlelog.battlefield.com/bf4/forum/threadview/2955065225622053175/

Why read it on some 3rd party website when I can go to the source?

Please watch your language. Feel free to discuss this with me via PM if you must.

Was playing around with slugs yesterday with the UTS. Anyone noticed that you have to shoot behind a person to get the hit to register?

I have to trail the target rather then lead it. I also noticed this on the test range but thought it was something to do with the test range being buggy.

edit: Also is there a way to record my gameplay with another system? I've got a Zotac Zbox (E-350) that I'm doing nothing with. Don't know why I have not thought of this till now.

I don't think so. I was going to use battle screen on my laptop, but you can not be
logged into the account with separate IP addresses at the same time while in game.
I may be wrong, but have no idea how you'd do it.

Simple concept. Connect an output on your Gaming system's video card to the input on a capture card in another system.
