Having sperate profiles for games, instead of having to add the exe to get a separate profile. Is not a improvement, its something that should have been implemented years ago. Since their competitor has been doing it for years. Having a Separate OC for each game is again useful to some degree, and the only boon form this crimson update. The frame rate control on a per game setting is again useful, however green users have been able to do this with Nvida inspector..... We are still stuck with craptor for game optimisation and recording :( So unless they are playing down a massive driver upade, with plenty of crossfire profiles for new games. To coincide with a dual FuryX card, you can colour me unimpressed.

Lets just wait and see ayyy Before you start jumping into mad debates.. Lets first get the drivers installed and tested and go from there.. Only then can you rip them apart.
Me, you and I guess everyone on here has no clue whats coming into the final build of this new driver software.

If you watch from this point on this Video https://youtu.be/Vd7dY2A8h_I?t=37s

You can hear him say, New features, new stability improvements and performance improvements.

I saw that video, the thing I took away from it was some performance improvements. Hence why I made a point of saying (well typing) :)

"So unless they are playing down a massive driver upade, with plenty of crossfire profiles for new games. To coincide with a dual FuryX card, you can colour me unimpressed."

Ether way it should bring team red closer to parity with team green, I just wish they would on the ball with crossfire. Considering how AMD market dual GPU cards. I would love a Fury X2, but what is the point of having one, when one GPU is going to end up redundant. If AMD had the option of say, running Havok on a second GPU, that would soften the blow when there is no profile.


In fact before Intel brought Havok, didn't both vendors have hardware Havok acceleration in development?

AMD still have a lot to do imo in regards to Crossfire issues. Hopefully within a year they'll be upto par and I'll be able to consider them again for a mGPU setup :cool:
 
The Fury x2 is going to be a hard sell, I don't really follow Crossfire support anymore as I only run 1 card after my last appalling dabble with Crossfire.

What's the current status of the two biggest releases, Fallout 4 and Star Wars Battlefront, that will be my yardstick ;)
 
I give up, AMD advise to disable crossfire because it is causing a stutter fest experience for a game they bundle with cards....... yep Battlefront. :mad:

Yeah, multi gpu is just too much hassle whether you go XFire or SLI. Only time I can say I would ever get it is if a game came out I was really into which it was known to support it really well which required the extra power. Also it would have to be in the form of two separate cards, that way when I am done with the said game, I can get rid of one of the cards.

It is a shame though, when there is proper support for it, it works damned well. I really enjoyed playing Crysis 3 and Tomb Raider in 4K. That experience alone was worth me getting me 295x2. But with nothing on the horizon and current new games not supporting crossfire, I think I will soon sell up.

Another high profile release and AMD drop the ball yet again :(

Was there an actual official announcement from AMD?
 
TBF, it seems like nvidia are also having **** time with SLI, afaik still no fallout 4 support and there will be no batman SLI support (2 of their own sponsored games too....) and they removed SLI support for Total War: Attila

Definitely. This why I said XFire or SLI. I used to think SLI was better but that does not seem to be the case. Single gpu all the way is what I say :D
 
I presume this hasn't started yet or it was another let down by AMD????

That's what I'd like to know. The event seems to have come and gone and not a sign of any bit of news or Crimson drivers.

Probably because the event was just Japans official announcement for what we already know about, ie The 380x and Crimson are on the way. They did it a while ago with the Indian announcement which turned out to be just there particular market getting something that had been released to the rest of the world long before. They did it then as a way of keeping all eyes on them when Nvidia wanted the limelight and it's probably just more of the same.
The big drum roll as Crimson's and Tonga's release get's closer

The big "Ooh look at us, LOOK at US" followed by the usual wet sloppy fart of a release.

The time stated on the Japanese website is 6.00pm Tokyo time which was around 9.00am Friday morning I think. The event is finished but nothing released or mentioned anywhere. All rumours I guess or the software was only shown at the event.

The original rumour was 24th November so will have to wait for that.:(
