The AMD Driver Thread

I'm at stock on CPU & 6800xt (got some b-die @3800MT/s cl16). It tells me to update my drivers everytime I crash. I just played a round and didn't crash however.

had no issues at all

most of these sort of problems in my past are either a failed windows update or corrupt game files very rarely is it the driver
 
In the performance tab of the AMD software its telling me SAM in not available but its enabled in the bios?
GPU-Z has a tab at the top (Advanced) which should tell you if you fail to meet any of the requirements to support SAM.

Why doesn't fan apped show up in Catalyst center?

Also the metric showin gon the CPU side is utilisation.

Driver: 22.1.2
Do you mean this?

Both, though the CPU metrics have returned to normal.

The fan is going mental in Plague Tale at the quit screen, temps not going above 55 though, and I have not messed with the fan curve.
Did it work previously? If so what changed.

You should be able to monitor and adjust fan speed in GPU Tuning.

Are you using a full install, or minimal? Might not be available in the latter.
  • Install Type:
    • Full Install: Provides all Radeon Software features and controls for gaming, recording, streaming, and tweaking your performance on your graphics hardware.
    • Minimal Install: Provides only the basic controls for Radeon Software features and does not include advanced features such as performance tweaking or recording and capturing content.
    • Driver Only: Provides no user interface for Radeon Software features.
Also, have you installed or used any third party software that can control these settings like MSI Afterburner, etc?

Check that you have the In-Game Overlay enabled (under Preferences) and you have not disabled the metrics (Performance tab > Metrics) which would allow monitoring of fan speeds through the UI and In-Game Overlay.

If the above is all checked off, try a factory reset and a full install.

Not tried em myself yet, if anyone has, let us know if there any good as a daily driver.
 
“It’s just resizeable bar.” ;)


Not sure what the quote was for and for the older driver???

If you misquoted and meant the new drivers then yea i know most of it is for resizable bar mem stuff. Just wondered how the general driver was, also when is that rsr thing coming lol. Tho doubt it will work for what i hoped it was, a thing to upscale lower res dos games and the likes but oh well. We need a good upscaler for old games through a driver cos some games are resolution locked like say toonstruck or somit like that. Needs more pixels forced on. :D And no, vsr doest work cos no resolution options to add to in old games for dosbox era or even say win 95 games like st dominion wars or the likes.

Still not fixed 3 years later... what do AMD do when testing drivers?

It's obviously not an easy fix, as it says, it is various system configurations. I personally have not had this problem with any of my games.
 
Considering how small the "known Issues" list has been for some time now and how few, as in zero, issues I've had myself I think the AMD driver team has been doing a solid job on the drivers.

I agree, other than memory not downclocking for a few versions shortly after the 6800 XT's release they've been excellent. The only problems I've had are with Sapphire Trixx when I was fiddling with the custom resolution option in it, sometimes it would break the Radeon control panel completely by stopping it from loading. Driver cleans and reinstalls didn't work (the CP would load initially after a fresh install but stop working after a few boots) so a format was required. But as I say that was Trixx, and when I stopped messing around with that all has been fine since.

AMD software can create custom resolutions too, unless I'm missing something with how the Sapphire software works?

It certainly can. However, that feature could function a lot better. Whenever I tried the feature it would often completely deny a resolution stating that it wasn't supported by my monitor. Then I try the same resolution in CRU and everything works fine :P..

Ah fair enough, I've only used it to increase refresh rate a bit, which it did do OK.
