The AMD Driver Thread

Is there supposed to be a difference between leaving colour temperature as automatic (default in my settings) and manually setting it to 6500k? I can't find a proper description of what automatic is or does.

IIRC, it interrogates the monitor and asks it what it should be set to. You can usually check by setting it to auto and to 6500, and there will probably be no difference (assuming your monitor is set to 6500 from the front panel).

Thanks, have a U2715H which should be around 6500k anyway, so probably much of a muchness.

Do you run benchmarks like Firestrike? If so & if you haven't done one in a while you should give it a go with this driver to see if you get an improvement, I haven't run Firestrike for a while so I'm unsure where the improvement comes from (Driver or Windows update?) but today my FS Standard result got a 37% improvement to it's combined score which has given me a big score improvement of nearly 2000 points overall (9%).

Weird one here, Installed latest drivers and the Radeon settings freeze when i adjust the fan profile, Rolled back to previous driver and still doing the same.

 

[Panos]

@LtMatt
Using 19.5.1 atm, on my reference Vega 64 with a Morpheus II and 2 Noctua Industrial 3000 fans.
On DX games (11 or 12 is irrelevant), the driver fan profile works. On X4, a Vulkan only game, it doesn't. Even if the GPU is at 25C it pushes the fans to 2953RPM which is pretty loud.
According to HWInfo the temp even the VRMs ones aren't over 40C when this happens with hotspot at 38C.

I need to download Doom to see if that affects other Vulkan games also.

I seem to be getting "Radeon WattMan settings have been restored due to an unexpected system failure" message quite a lot these days. Is the new drivers a bit buggy? Can't seem to work out if this is driver related or perhaps hardware. Anyone else getting similar message every now and again. Especially if computer is in SLEEP mode or idle for a long time.

new drivers .. my oc has had to be stepped down a bit

If your on Windows 10 turn off the fast boot/startup setting.

Dose the Anti lag feature work on V64? and what dose it actually do? Im currently on 19.6.1 and all is stable and working great at 1700/1100

I have it enabled on my Vega 64. It basically reduces the input to display lag by a frame vs nvidia.
Amd recommends that you use it in competitive shooters to get the biggest advantage.

 

[Elku]

Does the new sharpening tool work on 580 you? I'm currently unable to play bfv due to forced TAA so wanted to give this a shot

Edit Just seen you can't

 

[UTmaniac]

Combining anti-lag with the performance metrics in Rocket League creases creates serious lag online in Rumble game mode at least, yet to try one feature without the other.

 

[Panos]

Is there any indicator if Anti-lag is on or off? I logged in WOT, clicked ALT+L on the vega 64 (as per instructions), and while somehow feeling bit sharper and responsive on my lead shooting, cannot make my mind if is placebo or not.

 

[terroristone]

in BFV ive found when anti lag is on i get a lot lower fps. I'll leave it off for now i think.

 

[Panos]

@LtMatt Matt, is there any indicator if and when Antilag is ON? I press ALT+L and there is no indicator. Except the placebo effect, probably, except if within 24h after 8 years playing WOT, I cannot miss a single lead shot having 100% success rate.

I believe when you launch the game you will hear a noise if it is enabled. You can also check via the Radeon Overlay menu to see if it is enabled.
