Has AMD fixed its frame latency issues yet?

Just wondering if it's safe to go back in the red sea yet?

Before anybody's tempted. please nobody try to tell me AMD didn't have any latency issues, or they haven't personally noticed them, or Nvidia were just as bad, because 1) I disagree based on my own personal experience and 2) I really only specifically want to know if AMD have fixed their latency issues.

Cheers in advance :)
 
I have to mistrust the answers that say that single cards never had a latency issue, and it was only ever crossfire, because I had smoothness problems with various different single cards going right up to the latest generation. With Nvidia these problems were much less noticeable. It was only after I stopped using AMD that I read about the frame latency discoveries, which as far as I can tell confirmed my experience that is was also single GPU AMD cards, not just multiple GPU setups.

So I don't really believe people if they try to say the AMD single card setups never had a problem. As for whether they've fixed the problem, summarising the above, some people say they've already fixed it, and some say they intend to fix it in June?
 
Come on. It said it was a problem in only a couple of specific titles. I've played more than two games where it was a problem. It was a problem in virtually every game I played. Either I'm the most unlucky person in the world or it was a widespread problem and not just restricted to a couple of titles.
 
:D we were talking about post 2, not LtMatt. Are you in politics? :D

I think the reports did in fact report widespread latency problems for AMD, and that was my experience. If you didn't experience that, that's fine, but as per post 1 I was looking for feedback from people who did have similar experiences.
 
Pff. When I'm talking about what post 2 said, it's appropriate to say 'it', since the post has no gender. When I'm talking about what LtMatt said, I should say 'he' - unless LtMatt is a she of course.

Bit off topic now.
 
Just as an example,

http://www.techpowerup.com/178129/amd-to-fix-gcn-latency-issues-with-driver-updates.html

AMD seem to be acknowledging a widespread lack of optimisation in their approach to latency. In other reports, they've said that they never focussed on latency issues because they assumed that the stuttering wasn't caused by their hardware - which they've now discovered is incorrect. AMD themselves present it as something that is general, and that they are still working on, not something that was highly specific and fixed with a new driver ages ago. So I don't know why people are trying to dismiss it in that way.
 
Thanks for that response. I'm thinking about giving a 7850 2GB I got in a go rather than just selling it on now. Perplexed as to why an aftermarket tool can provide a fix so easily but AMD doesn't provide it themselves by default.
