I get it.. since i first posted in fact. You are looking into my post(s) too deep. I am just surprised that we are seeing polar opposite results using the same driver and, for all intents and purposes, the same card (7970). Apparently, that is somehow common. Usually with a driver update, you see, generally, similar performance increases off the same card not improvements and actual losses.
The issues with other drivers and BF4 in general are not relevant in the context to me... You and PB have a 7970 and used 14.1beta and the mantle API. There should not be (m)any differences considering the GPU is the same. I mean with 'normal' situations, if I change a driver, the performance increases are similar across different cards of the same type (say 7970). THAT is why I am surprised as I have never seen antithetic behavior off the same drivers and card.
