AMD Crossfire and Mantle Still = memory leak

Dear Dice,

SInce the July 8th patch Crossfire users have been unable to use Mantle due to a memory leak issue that slowly causes BF4 to have CPU spikes and eventualy crash.

There is no change since the fall patch.

Using Catalyst 14.9

7970ghz Crossfire

Windows 7 x64

i7 3930K

16GB RAM

  • Have you tried Disabling Mantle? Many AMD Mantle users who experience your problem find significant improvement when they disable Mantle and use direct X.

    Disable mantle? Maybe it should be fixed so we can enjoy the performance benifits without cpu spikes...

    Same problem here. Only way to solve now is to disable crossfire.

    Doesn't matter if I use Mantle or Direct X.

    Mantle is currently in BETA, and as such is subject to bugs, crashes, and performance issues until the official Mantle release is distirbuted by AMD.  Beta users use Mantle at their own risk, many Mantle users find that their problems go away when they switch back to direct X.  On my AMD equipped machine I run Direct X instead of Mantle and have great performance.

    I had a similar issue earlier in the year with a memory leak. My memory leak was solved when I restored my windows installation to the last point where I had no memory leak.  I then ran windows update and updated Origin and the leak did not return so if you have a restore point at a time period before the memory leak started try the restore.
