The AMD Driver Thread

[thebennyboy]

BF4 is broken on both Mantle and DX11 for me on 15.4. Stuttering has completely gone but it is now flickering really badly, hurts my eyes. Anyone else getting the weird flickering corruption in BF4?

Matt: Do you mind seeing if your having this issue?

mmmm free <3
am i stupid for not know wot CHS means?

btw if any1 still need a HOTS key i got some spare
im guessing not many moba fans on here tho

 

[arc@css]

I think it means contact hardening shadows.

Credit where credit is due AMD, well done for getting a driver ready and released on time for such a big game release.

Great to see crossfire included for those that have spent even more money on AMD hardware.

Cracking performance from the RED team so far...

Afterburner is reporting 1000.04 FPS on the download screen and that is before updating to BETA drivers.

Unless the update doubles that framerate I won't be happy!!!!!!

 

[Confused Stu]

A driver very quickly following the last, and showing a good list of improvements to games people actually play (well, I do). Welcome back AMD's normal service, I'm really glad our faith in your return wasn't unfounded.

Now, to find that download link - I'm now running something with a lower version number than I could be, and that's simply not on!!!

EDIT - Also Matt, don't forget to add the 15.4 driver into the second post mate. Cheers.

Yeah, great for those who have an interest in the game...

Why do the rest of us have to wait for half a year after release for some games?

At least it sounds like far cry 4 might actually be working properly now...

If the 980ti was out now I'd probably be all over it.

 

[Matson]

FINALLY Far Cry 4 works in crossfire! lol....so why didn't it work in crossfire before then? I mean the last driver was supposed to have a Far Cry 4 crossfire but it was the exact same in single card and crossfire for me... with these new drivers im finally getting crossfire scaling and nearly double the FPS.

 

[BS Dave]

I've informed them Dave, if and when there is an update I'll post about it here.

Nice work. Been reading about GTA V this arfo, seriously tempted now especially if 290 crossfire is working like a dream

 

[Devrij]

Also still patiently waiting for elite profile

 

[GIBSrUS]

Real PLP is a hardware feature which the R285 has, the 290 does not.

Matt, are you able to confirm any plans to bring PLP to the r290 series please? Are we waiting in vein?

 

[melmac]

Do these drivers improve freesync? Just wondering do they include support for crossfire or is that coming later in the month?

I think we are second class citizens in amd's eyes. They'll get to us when/if they can be bothered.

Not Matt, but close enough

It's fine on a single 290 running at 4680x1080 ( mixed res triple screen ) for most of the time.

Just bogs down a bit in asteroid belts to around 35-40fps, but it's still very playable.

ah the people waiting on a profile better hope thats not cpu limited then
or they will be waiting a long time for not much gain ><

40fps isnt that harsh, try some reign of kings 10...5fps on any card you can mention!! haha and it doesnt even look good! ><
