Battlefield 4 Mantle update patch for AMD has been delayed until further notice.

"After much consideration, the decision was made to delay the Mantle patch for Battlefield 4. AMD continues to support DICE on the public introduction of Mantle, and we are tremendously excited about the coming release for Battlefield 4! We are now targeting a January release and will have more information to share in the New Year," n AMD representative said to Polygon.

That same source said their decision to stop working on the patch was due to DICE announcing they would halt all work on the game's expansions until it was running and operating smoothly.

According to leaked images of AMD, Mantle is boasting that their patch makes the game 45 percent faster than DIRECTX.
