High end rigs expect about 14% boost.

mid/low rigs 40% boost.

This will change once AMD updates the drivers specific to BF4. I'd give it a week until they have it flying and see some real numbers.

"1.Mantle performance for the AMD Radeon HD 7000/HD 8000 Series GPUs and AMD Radeon R9 280X and R9 270X GPUs will be optimized for BattleField 4 in future AMD Catalyst releases. These products will see limited gains in BattleField 4 and AMD is currently investigating optimizations for them as they are the next highest priority products. - See more at: http://www.maximumpc.com/amds_catalyst_141_drivers_are_incoming_mantle_update_and_more#sthash.T39Jlpur.dpuf [maximumpc.com]"

Performance tools

To simplify measuring performance in the game we’ve added a new tool to the in-game console to record frame times for later analysis. Simply run “PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 1″ to start saving frame times and “PerfOverlay.FrameFileLogEnable 0″ to stop. The resulting .csv file will be located in Documents/Battlefield 4 which can be opened & graphed by Excel or other applications for viewing.Another in-game tool that is useful to use is “Render.DrawScreenInfo 1″ that will now show additional on-screen information about your CPU & GPU config, resolution and as well as if Mantle or DirectX 11 is used for rendering.


Fuck me, downloaded the 1.54GB in 5 mins...... very happy with that on a standard 15mbps download speed.

Edit: the Catalyst 14.1 beta isn't available yet...

People across the board are saying huge improvements to the game. This is without mantle.

Smoother, hit boxes working, on HC friendly markers are better, tank aiming fixed, fps boost in general too.

I'm still getting some pretty bogus deaths.

performance for me has suffered, I dipped to 50fps momentarily today.

During the QA process, we identified an installation issue in AMD Catalyst 14.1 that renders it unsuitable for distribution for testing in your labs. We are testing a new build overnight and will update you on its status by mid-afternoon Eastern Standard Time on January 31. We apologize for the delay and appreciate your patience and understanding.

just installed, but I am still on the 6900 boat.

I am due to build a new rig in the next few weeks so a solid review of the 280x etc with a i7 or a new kaveri could be sweet.

@growler

280x = 7970, if anything future proof yourself and spend the extra 80 or so and get a custom 290. Rapes the shit out of everything.

Tested last night on a 7850 @ 1680x1050  all settings ultra @ 45 fps avg.  Not much difference fps wise but seemed smooth no massive frame drops etc maybe some subtle improvements but will wait on more mature drivers.
