I currently have a radeon 6000 series at the moment but with the new card I have purchased is mantle supported for BF4. I was just wondering anyone actually running mantle at the moment on BF4 , I have heard mixed reviews about mantle anyone want to fill me in on how it compares to direct x ?

Huge difference in performance compared to DX. Probably because mantel is made for people in my situation where the cpu is the weak link. Edited May 29, 2014 by Oneill hxtr 1

Weird I have a 7870 and I get higher peak frame with mantle, but bigger dips and frame staggering. I got a AMD FX 6300 I think 6 core running at 4.26 ghz

I got a AMD FX 6300 I think 6 core running at 4.26 ghz You have a fairly good processor, mantel is meant to make up for a weak processor. I used to get lucky to hit 40-50 fps with Direct X, but with mantel im usually running a constant 60-100 fps with basically no dips or staggering. when it first came out for BF4 the staggering was bad but they seemed to have fixed that since i started playing again.

I was running it on my 7850 with a 955be processor and it was terrible. Fps rates were all over the place. Dx is running fine but i think my processor could benefit from mantle.

Right choice. Awards
