Battlefield 4 Mantle stutter

[TheDualshock]

Hey guys, I've been having issues with Mantle such as CPU spikes often compared to DirectX.

Here are my specs:
CPU: FX-6300 @4.2Ghz
GPU: R9 270x Windforce (1175/1400)
RAM: 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600Mhz
MOBO: GA-990FXA-UD3 (rev 4.0)
PSU: Seasonic S12II Bronze 620w
OS: Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit

I've been scratching my head over this, I have the latest AMD 14.7 Beta drivers installed (since in 14.4, I don't get the option to put on Mantle). DirectX works just fine but I'd like to use Mantle and I can't get around this.

mantle and bf4 are not working and haven't been. what you are seeing is normal.... directx is much better and likely will always be better since its on dice to fix mantle and dice doesn't fix much. also with your fx6300 its doubtful you would notice an increase if mantle was working anyways since mantle works better on cpu bottlenecks.

Alright, I suppose that if Mantle was working it'd be a plus but I don't really need it, games run fine at Ultra with no AA. I just wanted to check with other people since it seems to work with other people and not with some.

disable antivirus scanning if you have one, that keeps HDD reading while playing. I'm also running 14.9
