Wonder when we will get a large performance driver, it's been a while! Still good on there promise with certified drivers. They are doing a very good job

Battlefield™ 4 may experience crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11.

So tired of this thing! I own a 7970 and Mantle has never worked properly on BF4! NEVER EVER!

It did work, I know because I used to play on mantle with the 7950. But it's useless anyways, game is so easy to run that it doesn't even matter. And you should really upgrade if possible from the 7970 if that's what you are using right now, you would have even less of a need for Mantle.

Tbh the 7970 is still a very capable card, especially for 1080p.

I wouldnt bother upgrade if not need be simply cause thid gen or GPUs are not worth it. You are paying a premium for basically the same architecture on a smaller process.

Would wait for the next one. At bare minimum if money matters.

That's how it works. A refined architecture on a smaller node that comes with more power efficiency and performance. And you are paying a premium for Nvidia's cards, whereas the 480 is holding it's MSRP value pretty well(at least in the states). It's worth the upgrade

Obviously its how it works... Why would you not milk a shrink...
