AMD Mantle Stutter - Oct, 2014
Hi all,
I recently bought BF4 and I'm quite enjoying it (on ULTRA settings), however when I use the Mantle API I experience stuttering (even at 60 FPS) while DX11 API is very smooth (except when framerate drops). I was wondering if I could get some support regarding this issue. Am I doing something wrong? I don't mind using the DX11 API but I was wondering how Mantle would work especially because a lot of the players are saying its smoother than DX11.
In Mantle API dropping resolution, imposing FPS limit, lowering graphics settings, nothing seems to make a difference.
I would appreciate any support, thanks!
I have the following setup:
Intel i5 4690K + Gigabyte Winforce R9 280X, 8 GB DDR3 RAM, Windows 8.1, AMD Catalyst 14.9

- Mantle is currently in Beta and as such subject to bugs, some users use it without issue while other like yourself have to use DX11 in order to play smoothly. One post on the AMD forums suggested disabling Catalyst from loading at login via the MSCONFIG tool. I did this and noticed improvement. If that doesn't help I recommend using DX11 until the next AMD driver update, and then with the next driver try Mantle again and see if you still experience the issue.
