Goodbye Catalyst Control Center :D

aw well hopefully they get a beta out soon so we can try it :)
would be nice if they could work on the design while we trying it, kinda like windows10 but listen to people instead lol
 
Really I wanted the Omega style drivers rather than an interface redesign. The gui is nice but I don't spend much time in CCC. I hope the new drivers give a decent performance boost as well as the new interface.
 
Iv'e gotta admit when i watched the video and saw Raja Koduri who was at the press conference all the way back when they were claiming the fury x would be a overclockers dream. It... just made me... wana jump through the screen and slap him SO HARD!

It was actually Joe Macri who made that claim.
 
They have probably learnt their lessons in that regard. I'm sure they noted the warm reception the Omega drivers had and I would think they intend to capitalise on that from a PR perspective and put more development into the software. A new interface while very nice is the least important part of that, they have to work on DX11 and Linux support more than anything now. Steam machines are out before the end of the year, as is this Crimson iteration, I would hope there's a reason for that.
 
CCC actually loads in roughly 1 second for me. I do recall it loading slow in the past, but I think that was HDD days.

Can't wait for this release though, with new features and probably some performance in there, it will be a sweet driver update :D
 
I find the nvidia control panel much slower than the catalyst panel, some options seem to make the program lag a bit between you clicking and the option changing.

They're both dog ****e. In my experience GeForce is more likely to hard freeze or crash these days. Catalyst used to be much worse. No idea what Geforce is built on, but stuff using .NET (Catalyst) needed to die a long time ago. I'm really, really happy the new Radeon Software is using Qt .... someone at AMD knows what they're doing.

I do agree! Raptr is fine for 1080p 60fps but thats where it stops if you want higher recording you need to look elsewhere..

AMD needs to look at this forget Raptr and continue with there own driver based software..

That will make a lot of people happy but for me i'll stick with Dxtory and Action :D

I don't know why anyone savvy would ever use Shadowplay or Raptr. They're both cack. Use a 3rd party program.

This aside, AMD's VCE is a gigantic step up from NVIDIA's NVENC. VCE 2.0 (GCN1.1) put it a little way behind a fast CPU doing x264 for encoding, ahead of Quicksync and a long way ahead of NVENC. VCE 3.0 (GCN1.2 Tonga / Fiji) is a country mile ahead of anything except an 8 core Intel on a dedicated streaming PC for 1920x1080. Above that, and particularly if you're downscaling and then encoding, it'll beat the 8 core Intel on a streaming PC doing x264 in software. At 3440x1440 or 4K source it crucifies any alternative.

I'm soon to begin streaming again after a 4+ year hiatus. My setup will 100% be a streaming PC with capture card, whatever CPU I find laying around, and a 380 for encoding / downscaling. VCE 3.0 is really, really good.
