I have been doing some extensive testing on battlefield 4 with MANTLE and my Asus 280x.
I tested it on all maps and with mantle my card performs so much better because it is always at 97%+ GPU usage but there are spikes every 25 seconds or so that lower the usage to about 75-85% and this drops the frames to 10 20-30 frames for atleast a second. which is much lower frames than it should be dropping if it goes to 85% usage.

I tested it without mantle and without mantle on most maps im only getting about 75-85% usage on my card and my frames are about 60-100 depending on the map whereas with mantle im getting 75-120 depending on the map but i dont like using mantle because of the frame spikes. Does anyone know how to solve this issue or is it just MANTLE?

My CPU is a I5 3470 if that helps.

This is without MSAA on ULTRA graphics
with 4x MSAA and mantle on it is unplayable
