tbf they normally are always right on time.. Like one or two a month.. but now that there Adding new features to the drivers these can take time.. Once released we all be happy with what they added..

We always had people complain that they need to add more features now that they are people still complain cant win can they..

Dying light is nearly finished for me, the biggest joke is Elite I've been told for months that a driver specific release is coming, Nvidia are releasing one a month.

What's the point of Crossfire without drivers

I actually had a dream last night that new drivers came out. That's how badly I want them. When most people have finished a game before the drivers come out, that's too slow. These new features better blow my mind because I would prefer to have regular updates that allow me to use my second gpu than token features. Fingers crossed for adaptive vsync

Geeman1979 · 21 Feb 2015 at 09:15

Come with these new drivers already.

He sits and he waits.

Elite crossfire profile would be nice

Bonjour · 21 Feb 2015 at 10:14

Elite please.

eyetrip · 21 Feb 2015 at 10:14

Was thinking earlier, maybe will just play far cry 4 this weekend.

Are the drivers currently any good for that for crossfire?

VincentHanna · 21 Feb 2015 at 10:20

No, they don't support it at all at the moment.

Crossfire profile will be in the upcoming driver release

eyetrip · 21 Feb 2015 at 10:23

Hmmm.

Was also thinking civilisation beyond earth... But I seem to have misplaced my game. I am sure I activated it, but suddenly can't remember what platform it registered on... And i have looked through origin, uplay and steam, but no luck so far.

Adding 'features' that they could have started adding years ago isn't an excuse.... it's just poor however you try to justify it.

Hasn't far cry 4 been out four months?

Bonjour · 21 Feb 2015 at 11:15

There should be a crossfire profile available for FC4 just in time for when it's available in a steam sale.

3 months, give or take a few days.

Are you still running xfire 7970's Max?

Jump ship and go Green

Just bought (beginning of the week) Far Cry 4 Pc Dvd on the rainforest for £22 del. had a wee go last night @ 4K on high settings, jesus what a great looking game and although I was only on for 30 mins and not a lot happened I was surprised how smooth it was. Luckily I am not a, 'must have 60fps or its rubbish' guy, don't care as long as its smooth.

GoogalyMoogaly · 21 Feb 2015 at 11:31

At what point in 2016 should I be expecting an Attila: Total War Crossfire driver?

Or is there another Nvidia-esque feature to be ~~copied~~ added first meaning it'll be 2017?

I'm kidding obviously but it's not good when most people have finished a game before crossfire drivers are released for it. Where's the incentive to buy more than 1 AMD card if they don't work in the games that need (or at least can make use of) more than 1 card?

Yes.

Ubisoft patched in AMD mgpu support 2 months later.

Been a further few more Ubi performance enhancing patches since-game can 'freeze'(not stutter) and carry back on as if nothing ever happened(only on AMD?) :eek:

Go Ubi!

So, not expecting it to work any better than what can be had now using AFR with no AA.

VincentHanna · 21 Feb 2015 at 11:44

Something didn't feel right about it when I used AFR custom profile.

Can't put my finger on it. Frame time maybe (but I didn't check)
