Is my GPU compatible with Mantle?

[ImPrettyIrish]

Hello,
I am thinking about getting mantle because my fps drops a lot in BF4. My GPU is an HD 7790 GHz edition. Also if I get mantle would that mean that I can only play mantle games or can I play games with DirectX?

Yes, you can still play DirectX games.

please post your performance gains...
been waiting for this.. for quite some some///

I will do so once AMD re-releases the 14.1 Beta drivers. They pulled them back because there was a, "Major bug and will be pulled back for a quick fix." I will post my performance increase.

There is also a rumour that Mantle will only initially work on three cards and one APU and the OP's card is not one of those three.

You then need AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta drivers, which will be located here once AMD posts them. You then need an AMD Radeon GPU with Graphics Core Next, but right now not all GPUs are supported. AMD Catalyst 14.1 initially supports the AMD Radeon R9 290X, R9 290, R7 260X and the new “Kaveri” APU.

It works on my card. XD

Here are my benchmarks:
DirectX 11.1- Min fps - 66, Max fps - 119, Avg. fps - 85.217
Mantle- Min fps - 66, Max fps, 193, Avg fps - 106.35
I was playing the test range shooting the targets for 60 seconds. I did benchmarks with fraps.
Mantle wins

I'm happy for you, now if only it was consistent among all AMD users there wouldn't be so many threads and posts from people with problems.

I hope AMD is working on it. I also want to see if Nvidia will do something like mantle but even better! That would be cool.

compatible...yes
optimized...no

I have a 7870...and although my frames showing are higher, but I get tons of stutter and rough gameplay...so I reverted back to 13.12

Just an update after a while:
I find myself using DX11 more often mainly because of frame drops. Whenever I have mantle running it is like frame drop-zilla comes and destroys my PC. My tests with mantle did show more fps with mantle, although whenever I actually did something in multiplayer it was terrible. I personally think DX11 wins this battle.

Way to be consistent! :lol:

Haha, I guess I spoke too soon earlier.

It's OK, you're not the only one. There seems to be quite a few people having second thoughts since the announcement from MS about the changes to DX was made.

I have a 7970 and had a 7870 and mantle worked like a freaking champ every time in test range...but its when I entered a multi match with other players that the mantle option caused massive stuttering and choppy gameplay.

Although my fps were "higher" the experience was crap.

Long story short, test range isn't a good benchmark.

Yeah I kinda found that out. :/

Its because your card only have 128 bit memory bandwitch
You should by something with 256

By the way, i have 7870 ghz, no fps drops, and fom mantle i dont getting better performance at all. Unless you are using 14.1 beta, battlefield does not recognise mantle.
Strange things....
