amd have hyped these drivers up too much. if the rx480 with these drivers cant beat a gtx 1070 now then amd may as well give up and go bankrupt.

Don't know if it's the same fault but back in my mgpu days(can't remember what ones I was running) it done that every so often, disabling CrossFire before you started the install fixed that issue for me.

I didn't know you could install the drivers with Xfire disabled

Before i got onto these Crimsons (16.3s), i always had problems installing the drivers, everytime i started the install, when it came to installing the display driver, the Green progress bar just used to crawl all the way to the end until it filled up, then i had to hard restart, and run the installer again, for it to continue from after that (started from the HDMI audio driver), to finish the install.

Noob.

Ok, not tried testing ReLive yet, but there are definately unlisted optimisations in these drivers.

I just reinstalled Doom and on the previous set (12.11.5?) at the very beginning after killing the first 3 creatures I was seeing 69 FPS on my 7950 with my ingame settings including TSAA8x.
I'm now seeing 75-81 FPS in the same place, looking the same way, seeing the same things.

That's a good 10% just since the last driver release, on a clean install of the drivers with nothing particularly tweaked other than my OC reapplied, which was present before anyway!

For reference, what this has meant is I can now play on High settings, 16x AF, 8x TSSAA on Doom in Vulkan, and rarely drop below 60FPS, whereas before I'd be wanting to run medium to ensure this, its virtually eliminated the performance hit moving from medium->high or lessened it to the extent I was not seeing much higher performance before on Medium!

Im not surprised you're seeing that much of an increase over those, surprised they even managed to run Doom
