Mantle 14.3 Beta Released

Initially fps was slower with Mantle than DX11 on the R9 270X 2GB which is supposedly a renamed 7870. Decided to do a custom minimal install of 14.2 without CCC and Evolved gaming options (uncheck those two boxes) and also uninstall Raptr. Since doing so my 270X fps increased and the performance is consistent in BF4. This method also helps the 280X remove the fps dips.
 
Triple buffering is not working when using Mantle in BF4 and for that reason my framerate gets halved if it can't maintain 75Hz. Test range used 3GB VRAM everything Ultra 1080p, no MSAA but resolution scale 150% with post aa.

For that reason Mantle is unusable for me. Tearing is just so horrible in this game, I just can't play this without v-sync.
 
To minimize tearing set BF4 for borderless instead of full screen and disable vsync. Works great finally on all three cards on 14.2. Too soon to tell with 14.3 but no difference so far with BF4.
