The AMD Driver Thread

OK tried the driver out last night but it doesnt seem to alter any of the stuttering in ROTTR for me.

Any Ideas?

What settings do people recommend. I am running it at 2560x1440p @ 144Hz on a Sapphire Fury Tri-X.

thanks

installed the latest drivers with no issues

will try tonight but then again i had no issues with games apart from the clock speed issue which has not been fixed

Finally a Fallout 4 crossfire profile. Can't wait to try it although the game is now running at a locked 60 fps with the new 1.3 patch.

With a 4GB card you need to set textures to HIGH rather than VERY HIGH. Apparently the highest setting uses 4K textures which use more than 6GB of VRAM hence the stuttering. Haven't tested with new drivers yet but I was getting sever stutter/pausing until I dropped texture setting to HIGH.

Woohoo Fallout Xfire and TR optimizations! Thank you Matt!!

Has the issue where you get a black screen after the first restart after installing crimson been fixed yet?

Thanks Matt.

Sadly some major graphics glitching going on for me with 290s

I have the same issue!

I found blackscreens were caused by MSI Afterburner memory overclock settings. Disable automatic startup for AB and everything should be fine.

These drivers are completely borked for me. TR did that weird lighting effect like in JP7152's screen shot then black screened and crashed, I tried FO4 loaded a game where I saved in the castle and the walls were missing, paladin Danse was just head floating around (admittedly quite funny) lots of flickering and just generally completely broken.

Ran DDU and tried again, same thing. Reinstalled the previous driver version and its fixed.

Utterly frustrating.

What are you running slick rick?

Is this just an issue for crossfire users?

295x2 + 290X. I should have tried disabling crossfire.

Yeah just I am planning on picking up tomb raider this week probably so if the issue is affecting single AMD card users as well, I won't bother until AMD get their **** together

jp7152 · 2 Feb 2016 at 11:50

slick I have noticed the problem is only with three way xfire. It doesn't do it on two way (Tomb Raider.)

However with normal 2 card crossfire the Windows Store version of the game freezes every time it hits a loading screen and to make it continue you have to alt-tab in and out of the game. Doh!

With the previous driver where it is only running single GPU it is fine, get it mate you wont be disappointed its a great game so far!

That's interesting, thanks for the tip.

I did notice that I had to alt-tab to get the game menu to show, it was just black screen otherwise! :confused:

I'm pretty sure the stuttering is down to slow memory leak in Tomb Raider; as the engine itself needs to patched. I'm running textures on high and getting the same. I'll try with new drivers; but there are some serious issues in Siberia that are not there in the beginning of the game. I'd say they optimized the beginning; but not the middle of the game.

Tomb raider running fine here. Make sure guys you not running very high textures on a 4gb card.

Ah good to hear, I had read a few guys using the fury GPUs mentioning stutter later on in the game, although it sounds like it could just be an issue with those cards or possibly even a game issue...

And yup, loved the last one and this looks even better

I haven't got to far into the game yet so there may be issues further in, I'm sure a patch will be in the works though.

The graphics are incredible, really stunning!

Radeon Settings needs to notify you when a new BETA driver is available, or at least a setting that can be toggled to notify you when one is available.

I just spent an hour in-game at the Mill and mine tomb and it's been running and looking perfect on a single Fury Tri-x. I am on high textures and the SSAA which is above FXAA but below the 2 AA's with x2 and x4. I'll have to go back to the last stutter area to see how it runs there but I'm under the impression it's fixed for my Fury..
