Well, you gotta admit that what is currently happening with Battlefield 4 and AMD’s Mantle is… interesting and hilarious. An update for BF4 that would bring support for AMD’s API was planned for a November December release, however it got delayed to January. January is almost over and according to some reports, this patch is supposedly delayed to February. However, AMD’s PR for Radeon & Gaming, Robert Hallock, is confident that this patch won’t be delayed.
As Hallock claimed – when a fan asked him about the latest reports regarding the delay of Battlefield 4’s Mantle patch – those reports are false and inaccurate.
In short, Hallock is confident that AMD and DICE will release a new patch and driver that will enable Mantle for Battlefield 4 this week.
There are still four days left, so let’s see who is right about this whole Mantle drama!

BF4’s Mantle update was originally planned for late December, not November.
They are still sorting out BF4’s issues.
AMD is ready.
I heard Mantle will only work in the game’s single player mode, so even if it gets delayed indefinitely I doubt anyone will miss it.
heh, what a joke if true.
No its not only Single player. Johan (Technical Director in Frostbite) already commented on this rumors. He said Mantle is for all graphics. Also When asked about the delay and if there is a base on the delay rumors he said nope not true.
Sounds like a threat to DICE lol
Yeah the 14.1 Beta drv for Radeon is really cool
