The vram downclock issue is back for me now.. Was working fine yesterday at 240hz but not today. Nothing new has been installed so I don't get why it shouldn't are unable to downclock at anything above 120hz.

Must be to do with specific setups or monitor types. I`m at 144mhz and mine is downclocked. Currently at 13w with VRAM around 192mhz

I figured out the problem. Wasn't driver related. My monitor info in the windows registry was borked, Freesync range was missing along with other info. So after I deleted all instances of the monitor with CRU, and restarted the driver, it worked again as it should.

Never used CRU before, it is as straightforward as you say?

Edit: CRU did a reset all, then restarted graphics driver. Freesync was disabled in AMD driver settings, maybe because I was fiddling last night with Game Mode on this TV which prevents Freesync if off. Display didn't come back straight away, nor after 15 seconds. Eventually did and now Freesync is now on, and downclocking is working for 120Hz.

I'll keep an eye on it, there's two monitors in CRU now (there were six) and I think one is what was generated when game mode was off.

Thanks.

Anyone seen any issues on the latest 21.6.2 drivers in Division 2. I guess overall have people seen issues vs. the .1 WHQL package?

I cannot actually play the game, if I load the benchmark it hangs to desktop and Radeon software throws up the timeout window and if i load into the actual game it starts silky smooth 75fps (FSync) and then drops to a weirdly locked 48 FPS before crashing out. seriously odd

Have ran Heaven, Timespy, Firestrike all perfectly and played Doom Eternal for over 2 hours on UN settings with ray tracing, not a blip so the card is running spot on

Spec is 5600x / 6700xt / 32gb and latest AMD drivers above.

Sorry man I don't have this issue, and play Division about 10hrs a week+. Stick to WHQL if it's your main game, AMD won't be optimising for this game anymore for sure.

(I have a 6800XT Nitro and 6900XT Red Devil here)

Cheers, I will switch back to the WHQL later and see if that helps at all. In fairness our group has just hit level 40 and complete Warlords so most likely wont play for a bit just a tad annoying.

I've now noticed that the memory does indeed boost to max settings while watching Youtube. With the watts power consumption sitting at 45 watts.

I'm not sure if this is normal behavior?

newest drivers all overall running spot on for me and bit of a boost in benchmark related gumpf!

Only issue is that Division 2 still just runs for 5-10 seconds, locks to 48fps and black screens to desktop. no other game or app does it, so weird. I get a driver timeout notice on the desktop too when it happens
