Well mine is definitely 60Hz, but I'm pretty sure his is 120Hz.
Anyway, this thread is on its way to an Intel V AMD flamewar, so I'm not going to say any more. ^_^

a flamewar? nah, just good old bulldozer bashing, afaik even AMD fans don't like bulldozer. i'm fine with piledriver.

As long as Mantle is related to your posts this thread will remain on topic.
Anyway.. any CPU will see benefit just some more than others... If the low ends can compete with mid ranges, mid ranges can compete with high ranges, and high ranges can compete with 2011 then i would be impressed. Just means at lower price points more performance is available.

It would be a nice change yes. Mantle could effectively do more than just effect games it seems if everything plays out perfect.. but dreaming is nice

I agree.
To me, I see Mantle as a punch aimed far more at Intel than Nvidia. I mean why the heck buy an i7-4770k or more expensive 2011 CPU for gaming if you get equal performance or better with the likes of an FX-6300 or APU?
Although... Mantle is still in its infancy. AMD themselves have always maintaned that it's nowhere near being totally completed. It'll take a long time for it to catch on and get painted into the majority of games. This is part of the reason why I myself thought it fine to switch back to Nvidia for this generation. Also I'd say those of us like myself that are rocking Nvidia cards don't really have anything to worry about for a while.

intel would benefit of mantle as well, beating 2011 is out of reach for AMD.
why the heck would you buy a 4770k in the first place for gaming if a 4670k performs the same. i don't see a reason for the 4770k to exist really, for gaming it's pointless and if you are going for CPU intense stuff then you might as well go 2011.

So running Mantle today and no difference in frames between Mantle and DX11 but the game looks much sharper although it gave me a total lock up during game, so us GCN users need to wait longer it seems but still it should be worth it in the long run

For all you W7/W8 users running 64bit OS, here you go!

With the update, I lost all most all sound in the game except for the music, and a random gunshot every now and then.

Did you uninstall the old AMD Catalyst Manager drivers before installing 14.1?
Got a great improvement in Star Swarm Benchmark, Mantle looks very promising, my old Phenom looks like less ridiculous now, but it won't change my mind about the need of upgrading this year

Yes. Everything else works great. It took care of of the crossfire bug with on card reading 100% all the time, and desktop flickers. It scores well in Firestrike, and Valley.
I don't think its so much the 14.1, its part of the BF 4 Mantle update they did the day before to prepare for the drivers.
