How do you use Async Shaders? Is it already turned on?

One thing I couldn't seem to find was refresh rate setting to change from 144hz or 60hz etc?

after my freesync got stuck at 40-60 i worked out that its the windows setting (win10) that you need to change to get the refresh rate to change,

Edit
Bit more info its the monitor setting in windows mine got stuck at 60 after pressing the super rez button

Yeah that happened to me, did you look inside custom resolution? Because that has 60hz stock setting.

After using the new UI now, I find it rather meh tbh....

It is too "basic" and I hope that all the video player settings, which we had access to before i.e. colour management, edge detection, brighter whites etc. haven't been enabled by default and hidden away so no way of disabling them now???

And still no 21.9 VSR

It is a step in the right direction though.

Yet to try games out to see if any performance improvements.

Still cannot install driver without using DDU in safe mode, then have to use device manager to update driver. I could install CCC before but looks like the new one will not install without the driver so?

all i did was press virtual super resolution on and bang the freesync range changed to 40-60, but turning it off did not change it back it got stuck at that....then i found it had changed the monitor setting in windows to 60 put it back to 144 and it sorted the freesync range

I just installed over the older catalyst ones tbh as I couldn't be bothered unloading like usual! Got some gaming planned for tonight so

So we have to use windows settings for changing hz right?

How about eyefinity?

I used eyefinity in black ops 3 in split screen mode across 2 displays but now eyefinity say there isn't enough displays to enable.

If there is no solution to this, I may have to change my card.

Just as an FYI - Anything that Windows Display options does is not replicated in Radeon Software Crimson. You can make those changes in Windows. (i.e. resolutions and refresh rates)

Tom|Nbk · 24 Nov 2015 at 17:04

Joe please tell us when Fallout 4 crossfire is coming :*(

Good too know, it's no issue tbh.. In the future one thing I would like is custom resolution based on application.

I managed to get eyefinity to work in additional settings and it now shows up on crimson ui but once disabled, it won't enable from there.

Any ideas?

no idea bro on the eyefinity stuff, not sure if what happened to me was a bug just wanted to add in what happened to me so others can resolve if it happens to them

new Crimsom doesnt seem to play nice with MSI AB. It showing in MSI AB that these drivers are version 15.8. Not sure if its a biggie, just saying. Cant get my clocks to stick with MSI AB either.

Just about to see if Crossfire is now working on SWBF and the black textrues on the Ice Caves map is now fixed. Pls do not disappoint AMD.

EDIT: NOPE STILL NOT FIXED. GOOD JOB AMD, GOOD JOB. AND STILL NO WORKING CROSSFIRE WHEN IT WAS WORKING IN THE BETA.

Mtom · 24 Nov 2015 at 17:20

Cannot install it at all, installer freezes at 2% and thats it....

Anyone else has this problem?

Nexus18 · 24 Nov 2015 at 17:21

Surely have you crossfire users not learned by now that you are irrelevant in AMD's eyes!

But on a serious note, is SLI working ok for nvidia users? If not, perhaps it could be a problem on DICE's/frostbite's end....

TonyTurbo78 · 24 Nov 2015 at 17:30

kinda funny that Nex when they sell the FuryX2 and 295x2 and the 390x x2 lol

shankly1985 · 24 Nov 2015 at 17:31

@TONY it could very well need a game patch more so than driver mate.
Am hearing good results from shader cache on games anyone else tested yet?

Hopefully it will fix my "black snow" issue in SWBF

Had the same bug on my system. Yes it's fixed.

I bring your attention to these posts Shanks
