You’ve heard about Mantle and how it will boost the performance of AMD’s cards on Battlefield 4, right? Well, today we get a glimpse of what we can expect from that low-level API. According to AMD, Battlefield 4’s demo (at its recent AMD event) was running on a single R9 290X card at 5760×1080 (though it has not been confirmed whether it was running with constant 60fps.

DICE has revealed the official requirements for its upcoming first person shooter title, Battlefield 4. According to the team, PC gamers will at least need 4GB of RAM, a dual-core CPU, 30GB of free HDD and a GTX 8800GT (or an AMD Radeon HD3870). What’s interesting here is that Battlefield 4 will not support Windows XP (and most probably there won’t be any DX9 path for it). Not only that, but DICE recommends an Intel quad-core CPU (or an AMD six-core) for its shooter. The crucial thing here is that DICE did not suggest an I7, which could mean that Frostbite 3 may take full advantage of quad-core CPUs. Battlefield 4 is planned for an October 31st release and you can view the complete list for its PC requirements after the jump.
