    Hey guys,

    Has anyone noticed a performance boost in BF4 on the 7970m lately? I'm not sure if it was the new drivers or the new patch, but the game seems to be running much smooth at ultra settings. Also, while the fps used to dip below 30 a lot before, they seem to stay above 40 most of the time now.

    And to think mantle is yet to support this card =D.

    Yes, well, I didn't see anything in the driver release notes either. I suppose it had to do with the game patches instead then. Either way, there is definitely a noticeable performance gain for me =D. Performance just went from 'meh' to 'nice!'
