AMD Catalyst Mantle Driver Delayed

But aren't all benchmarks controlled one way or another

Also its Feb 1st somewhere so now give us the dam driver already!!!

 

I was trying to say they were done and released by the companies who produced the software and not by independent reviewers. I can't wait to see those but it seems there's no driver available yet.

 

Ahh I hear ya and me too!

Bring it to us already!!!!

 

To delay a beta driver, the issue had to have been catastrophic. AMD released beta drivers every few days during the end of last year, and even though those semiweekly releases had major issues all their own, AMD still released them.

I want frame pacing support, yet it gets tied up due to an issue in Mantle and delayed again. But what's another 36 hours after waiting 3 months past their promised date?

 

Press gets it 24 hour ahead of public. Some sites already have the driver.

Some time today it should be out for all of us.

 

First review. Only Kaveri:

only for Kaveri 7850K APU

 

Redundancy is important.

 

Another quick one. Just numbers more to follow

Battlefield 4 Medium Quality 720P 1080P

AMD A10 7850K (R9-290X) DX11 162 160
AMD A10 7850K (R9-290X) Mantle 102 102


Battlefield 4 Ultra Quality DX11 720P 1080P

AMD A10 7850K (R9-290X) DX11 90 78
AMD A10 7850K (R9-290X) Mantle 150 86

Those are some interesting numbers. Interesting if they are not typo.

 

They corrected the typo.

It's just funny to see something blow up in your face since you post so much smack.

Not that it will stop you.

Let me get this straight.... This patch was to be released in the middle of December. First it was DICE that was at blame for the delay of implementation. DICE finally launches their patch and all of a sudden AMD finds a critical bug at the very last minute? WTF was the driver team doing the last month and half? You would think a reputable company would actually have some foresight into such issues considering they were afforded an additional month and half to implement these drivers...
