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

Downed it last night and installed it, ran BF1 and no issues. Game running sweet but I didnt check frames or anything. Looking forward to having a play about with all the features this weekend.

Nice work Raja & Co. Now just get a solid high end card out and you are back in the race. Going to take a while but it's a marathon not a sprint.

:D

Oh could anyone point me in the direction of a really good guide on Crimson with explanations of what everything does and how to use it properly (I normally don't mess with stuff when things are runnng okay - If it aint broke kinda thing). Also for all the new ReLive stuff too that would be cool. Does such a guide even exist? Cheers :)

Having an issue with MSI AB. Basically can't do diddly squat. won't let me play with power limits or fans and even if I max out the clock speed slider it only goes to stock speed.

New to WattMan (got a Fury), my card needs +25mV to not crash as I've unlocked all the shaders (I presume this is why it failed Fury X binning).

Is there away to set +25mV in WattMan across all states without doing each one individually?

+1 to this.

Except I want to set mine to -31mV :p

Nvidia now need to up their game, Sound recording quality can be set higher in Re-Live and it's recording impact on FPS is lower than Shadowplay.

Come on Nvidia time to get competitive in the software scene.

Hehe, nice one.

It has taken AMD 3 years to catch up with this, after other things they have tried have fallen by the wayside and after it has been out a day, it time for NVidia to up their game.

Good one. :)

More seriously, from reading reviews and what has been said on here, it looks like AMD are onto a winner with this software and even though some of the features are still in beta, they will get it sorted and refined.

This initial release certainly has promise.

Roughly 1-2% less of a frame impact than Shadowplay and better audio, Hopefully this lights a fire under Nvidia's bum :)

Whats in Beta??
I do agree though AMD have tried and failed massively with Raptr they was too meny issue with that software.

Its great news for us all though because now like you said Nvidia need to answer back now and give there users what they been asking for etc
In the end we all win
 
Aside from the recording features, which I personally don't care for, I don't see why people are making a big song and dance about these drivers, performance is slightly better "overall" but this usually happens with AMD drivers now and unless you are happy to sacrifice a few FPS for the chill feature to save a few pennies on your elec. bill... there isn't really that much else better about the drivers imo.

Also, I find it mind boggling when people say things along the lines of "at last, AMD on par with nvidia etc. for drivers now".... Looking in the nvidia driver thread over the last year or more, it seems like quite a few people have had issues with stability and performance issues, certainly a lot more so than what the AMD side has had anyway.

Personally, give me stability and performance improvements over features any day of the week, nothing more infuriating than having crashes, lock ups etc. and having to faff about with reinstalling drivers.

The only area regarding drivers that I would say nvidia has had a significant lead over AMD is for multi-GPU support side of things.

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 :p
