EBassie - 00:37 (31-01-2014) You were right Leftie:
"AMD Catalyst 14.1 Beta will support ALL desktop GCN products, though we are working with EA to further optimize performance on 280X, 270X, HD 7000 and HD 8000. We have asked EA to update their blog to reflect this."
Discovered this cool track/story this week. Go listen!
EBassie - 21:35 (30-01-2014) Yeah, maybe some custom drivers will be available to us HD7xxx users. Would be nice ;)
dkong - 20:47 (30-01-2014) I have a feeling some 7xxx cards are gonna work just fine using mantle and the new drivers.
EBassie - 16:07 (30-01-2014) Well, AMD probably have done this to sell a couple more R9 cards... Somehow I can't really blame them from a sellers point of view...
dkong - 11:59 (30-01-2014) Gaaay. Would be funny to see those newschool high-end users get a shitload of bugs and then you get smooth support for your shit in the next update.
EBassie - 11:17 (30-01-2014) Mantle needs new drivers... but but but...
Note: AMD Catalyst™ 14.1 initially supports the AMD Radeon™ R9 290X, R9 290, R7 260X and “Kaveri” APU (learn more)
So, we HD7000 series users need to wait a bit longer... :(
EBassie - 10:33 (30-01-2014) And there we go. BF4 Patch is live! 1.23 GB
