AMD Readies Massive Radeon Software Update with Crimson Relive Drivers – Performance Increases For R

[Phixsator]

Why?

Generally performance is always far better in fullscreen mode.

I like to have support for windowed fullscreen as some games, believe it or not, dont go exclusive fullscreen. look at The Division with the latest 1.5 patch. Fullscreen is bugged now and therefor freesync wont work but it would if the relive driver really does deliver window support for freesync.

Anyone know when these are going to be officially unveiled?

It's already 0931 Eastern Southampton Time, where is my upgrade?

Yep I can vouch for that UTmaniac

Videocardz has a nice little summary, Radeon Chill sounds interesting

As I said, personally I have not had this issue at all with any games I have played but then I don't play small indie games and the like.

Division did have that bug and I came across it easily as said, when I adjust my volume in game via my keyboard, the volume slider only ever shows when windowed borderless is in action.

This was fixed within a week though so no longer an issue for that game.

Just got info from AMD, new drivers means a ATI 4350 outperform quad Nvidia 1080's

Sorry but what's the big deal about non exclusive full screen mode/boaderless mode?

Freesync
in terms of use, its easier to move around multi-monitors apart from that nothing really.

Downloading Thanks
Am going to do a DDU for this been ages since I fully wiped

For the people that dont want these new features you are not forced to install them That is good move from AMD.

I never seen the need to DDU, even switching between Geforce and Radeon cards the Windows Kernal from Vista onwards can handle two sets of GPU software at the same time.

Its hard to simplify it down to the scope of a post but in exclusive fullscreen mode then ostensibly only the game is utilising the graphics pipeline and you can make all kinds of assumptions and the monitor can just dumbly take whatever it is fed without any complications. In non-exclusive fullscreen/windowed modes then you are fighting with Window's display manager which pre-dates variable refresh rate technologies and that other applications have access to the graphics pipeline which can cause further complications.

Recording working on 290
Seems like I expected the 290 is max 1080p @60fps

Can someone upload these to Mega or similar site? AMD download link down again.

Within Wattman Dynamic core frequency I guess this mean it will allow my GPU to reach a core clock based on temp etc?
