Quick on the drivers now ? GJ amd.
Wow good job AMD a driver update before nvidia.
amd is getting much better.
They are*
GeForce Game Ready 368.39 WHQL is out already.
also, Paragon got driver support a month ago. DS3 got SLI treatment 2 months ago.
Who needs SLI to run DS3?
Nvidia has a hour… lol They better get on it. Let’s hope this driver don’t need a hotfix for 390 cards like the Doom drivers did…
Oh John, its cute to see you squirm. Also would you like a list for all the Nvidia hotfixes?
you can list all AMD’s hotfixes as well if you wanna play that game. Besides the game don’t launch till the 7th anyways. So I guess it will match with Nvidia’s tue driver launches XD
does it really matter? i think nvidia already release several improvement on paragon even during beta. and for mirror edge they even faster than radeon during beta. and that is on frost bite engine which usually favor amd cards. i’m waiting for driver that will enable fast sync on non pascal card.
“Battlefield™ 4 may experience crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11.” Kind of laughed
I love their new look though for their drivers, being a Nvidia user who kept the same look for years and i noticed Amd’s software boots a lot faster as well.
I have NP with Mantle in BF:4 and HardLine since the Begining of Win_X last Year.
But some users have it, sometimes is good to Flush The Mantle Cache in Documents/BF4 or BF:H directory 😉

DX12 will see similar problem.
