The AMD Driver Thread

ElT said:
A follow-up to my 7900XT woes from the previous page. It was the PSU. I splashed out on a new Seasonic Vertex 1000W and put it in last week. Greatly improved things. So a big fat apology to AMD for blaming their drivers! :)

How is the noise on that model? Having driver crashes at the moment on a seasonic Focus GX-850 and beginning to think it's the PSU.

Been reading this with interest as I’m still mulling over a switch to a 7900xt from a 3070. Even though my research indicates my 3 year old RM650x should handle it, your woes and others mentioning upgrading the PSU solved issues does worry me.

Admittedly my set up is much less thirsty than yours -5600x CPU, 1x2tb nvme drive, 240mm AIO and two 140mm front case fans, no rgb.

Outervision PSU calculator estimates with a 7900xt this should pull around 460W under load (although i suspect it generally would be less than 400W when gaming), which leaves plenty of headroom for GPU spikes in power consumption.

Really don’t want to be spending more on a PSU as well as the GPU.

Edit: whoops i meant to quote @EIT

I just updated from 23.7.1 to 23.8.1 and the noise suppression box disappears after u enable it, so cant use it, when will it be fixed? Using spec in sig on win 11. Also since moving my gpu to new pc i get flashes on the rim of windows on the desktop, now and then kinda random, dunno what can cause it but its annoying. Tho might be the long hdmi cable i have and using 50 in tv as not using usual 32in dp cable, freesync monitor for a bit longer.

I think mine is stable now with MPO disabled, had no driver crashes since.
 

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.8.2 Release Notes​

Article Number

RN-RAD-WIN-23-8-2

Highlights​

  • Support for
    • Starfield™
      • Up to 16% increase in performance for Starfield @ 4k, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ 23.8.2 on the Radeon™️ RX 7900XTX GPU, versus the previous software driver version 23.8.1 RS-594
      • Up to 16% increase in performance for Starfield @ 4k, using AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition™ 23.8.2 on the Radeon™️ RX 7900XT GPU, versus the previous software driver version 23.8.1 RS-595

Fixed Issues​

  • Application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Baldur's Gate 3 with DirectX® 11 API set on certain systems with Radeon™ RX 7000 series GPUs.

Known Issues​

  • Performance Metrics Overlay may report N/A for FPS on various games.
  • Audio may intermittently become out of sync with video when recording from AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition with AV1 codec.
  • Display may not reach correct brightness with certain games on select SAMSUNG™ FreeSync Premium Pro monitors or TVs with local dimming setting enabled.

Important Notes​

  • AMD is working with the game developers of Starfield™ to resolve an intermittent driver timeout or visual corruption issue when Dynamic Resolution is set to 75-78% with certain ultra wide monitors. Users experiencing this issue should adjust the Dynamic Resolution option as a temporary workaround.
  • Factory Reset has been temporarily disabled as a precautionary measure while we address isolated installation issues that have been reported during PC upgrades. Users may use AMD Cleanup Utility as a temporary option.

Package Contents​

AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.8.2 Driver Version 23.10.29.06 for Windows® 10 and Windows® 11 (Windows Driver Store Version 31.0.21029.6002).

You'll want a bit of overhead....Unless it's just a sensor/software issue, the highest TBP I've seen from my 7900xt pulse is 453W (just the card!) in HWmonitor

That was in RDR2 with everything cranked (incl 4x MSAA), it's usually around 350 in most games when not using vsync, from what I've noticed so far anyway
 

New Feature Highlights​

  • AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+ - Takes responsive gaming to the next level by introducing per-game profiling to intelligently pace frames further reducing input lag on RDNA 3 based Radeon GPUs. For more information about game support click HERE.
  • AMD Radeon™ Boost– Now supports AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+ and improves image quality through awareness of mouse sensitivity, reducing the image quality impact of dynamic resolution switching during motion—typically seen with high-DPI mice.
    • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.1 introduces AMD Radeon™ Boost support for Resident Evil™ 4 Remake and Ghostwire™: Tokyo, which delivers extra performance and increased responsiveness with little perceived impact to quality.
  • AMD HYPR-RX – Introducing a new driver experience that allows users to optimize their games using AMD Software features for their RDNA 3 based Radeon GPUs, achieving increased performance and lower latency with ease.
  • AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 23.9.1 introduces the ability to intelligently combine AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+, Boost, and Radeon Super Resolution to achieve improved performance and latency reduction than these features can achieve on their own.
  • For more information: https://www.amd.com/en/technologies/software.

What’s Next?​

  • AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+ - Initially supporting 12 games, new game support for AMD Radeon™ Anti-Lag+ will be released through AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition updates in the coming months.
  • AMD HYPR-RX - The HYPR-RX experience will continue to grow, including support for AMD Fluid Motion Frames to boost FPS using frame generation for DirectX® 11 and 12 games in Q1 2024.

Fixed Issues​

  • Error message may be observed when selecting Spatial sound format of “Dolby Atmos for home theatre”.

Known Issues​

  • Performance Metrics Overlay may report N/A for FPS on various games.
  • Audio may intermittently become out of sync with video when recording from AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition with AV1 codec.
  • Display may not reach correct brightness with certain games on select SAMSUNG™ FreeSync Premium Pro monitors or TVs with local dimming setting enabled.
  • Application crash may be observed while playing Baldur's Gate 3 with Vulkan® API set on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7900 XTX.
  • Application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing SMITE™ on some AMD Graphics Products, such as the Radeon™ RX 7900 XT.

Important Notes​

  • Factory Reset has been temporarily disabled as a precautionary measure while we address isolated installation issues that have been reported during PC upgrades. Users may use AMD Cleanup Utility as a temporary option.

I know what you mean.
I have Anti lag/Enhanced Sync and boost turned off
Can anybody make sense of what should be turned on??.
Haven't tried this new driver yet.

If it helps this is what I use. I've learned from these forums and some AMD peeps on Reddit about what is best to have enabled and not enabled at the same time. So for me I use at a global level:

Radeon Anti-Lag = Enabled (keep the CPU and GPU working together to reduce latency)
Radeon Boost = Enabled 33% (dynamically reduce res for fast pace mouse motion in certain games)
Radeon Image Sharpening = Enabled 80% (sharpening algorithm to restore in-game clarity)
Radeon Enhanced Sync = Enabled (tear free experience reduce lag)
Wait for Vertical Refresh = Always On (To limit FPS working along side FreeSync)
AMD FreeSync Premium = Enabled (monitor specific)

Apparently you don't use FRTC (Frame Rate Target Control) with Enhanced Sync/VSync, as the algorithms aren't designed to work together, just stick with VSync to limit the framerates. So in this case mine is capped at 165FPS / 165Hz which I'll never hit unless playing a very old game, in which case VSync limits the FPS for me.

With this I've been playing games just fine. No lag issues, or screen tearing or pacing issues.

But everyone will have their own preference. :)

Thanks for this.
I primarily game at 2560 x 1440 @144hz.
With a 5900X and a 7900XTX.
Will try these settings on Starfield a bit later as I'm downloading it now.
 
So the HYPR-RX thing is going to be RDNA 3 exclussive then? have they given any specific reasons for this outside of what would be an easy one to assume, get people to buy the next gen.

I'm not seeing the high idle power usage mentioned in either Fixed Issues or Known Issues, anyone know what's going on with that? I'm going to assume that AMD haver stopped caring about this (and us) now so just hope we'll forget it if they stop mentioning it?

Its pretty common for AMD to release new features for current gen cards first, and roll out support previous generations in future versions.
