The AMD Driver Thread

Yeah, because improving performance and decreasing latency would be just awful for a competitive multiplayer game.

:cry: Yeah, sorry my bad. Wrote my post in a hurry and was really thinking upscaling strictly in relation to getting playable framerates in path tracing games.

Thanks for the correction :)

Cyberpunk released 10 December 2020, thats nearly half a decade ago.

Singleplayer games have finite lifespan to whom actually goes out to buy it and buys hardware for it.

Who in the right mind 5 years later buys a new GPU to play a 5 year old game, like literally 5 years ago.

Cyberpunk for ages had negative and mixed reviews, what they fixed 5 years later isn't a testament lol.

AMD needs to work with developers right now for current games and upcoming games.

The last game AMD worked with a developer was Starfield and it showed with them having much better performance.

People buy Nvidia because credit to them, they actually work with developers for new and upcoming games to PC and that mind set is a hardware seller.

Ok I will try this another way.

AMD wants to promote it's new FS4 upscaling. It's a feature that it wants to use to sell cards. What games do you think will get the word out quickest? Games like Influx Redux? Kristala? Smite 2? They are new games right? I can see loads of people on forums discussing those games /s.

But lets see what criteria should a company be looking for in a game that it wants to promote its new upscaling tech.

1. High player count. (this is obvious, more players playing a game more people discussing it)
2. Games that are difficult to run, to really show off just how good their tech is.
3. Games that are used in reviews by tech websites.
4. Games that are constantly been talked about.

And like it or hate it, doesn't matter, Cyberpunk fits all those criteria. It's still one of the most played games in the world. It's still one of the most demanding games and it's still been discussed regularly on forums. It would be an ideal showcase for FS4. And there is a new DLC coming soon too.

The majority of people don't go out and buy a GPU for just one game, even if it's new. But what they do do is go back and play older games that they couldn't play at max settings. Or go back and play games with a ton of mods. Which is part of the reason that some people will buy Nvidia because AMD hasn't bothered putting their new upscaling tech into older games that are still been played by millions of people.

Of course AMD should put FS4 into new games, But, they also have to put it into older games, the games that people are still playing, the games that people are still going back to.

My thoughts still remain the same.

It is still irrelevant even with Nvidia cards.

Its an old game that honestly shouldn't of been used as a benchmark because the game was broken for ages.

I would even say its ray tracing is inefficient compared to modern games which actually were developed from scratch with RT.

Cyberpunk is a badly made game and still is.

LOL, I can only laugh at this. Your personal opinion of the game doesn't matter. How good/bad/broken etc you think the game is, doesn't matter either. As a business decision, never mind that the game is still one of the most popular, most difficult to run and used in reviews, getting AMD tech into a game that has long been associated with Nvidia and performing as good as the Nvidia equivalent would be massive win for AMD.

How is this thread derailed? It's a discussion on FS4 which is part of the AMD drivers and was started after Chaosphy(post #22561) posted details about AMD releasing a new Technical Preview driver focused on expanding the number of FS4 supported games.

And there is nothing stopping you or anyone else posting.

6 months after launch I had an offer to buy it for £6.50 on cd keys for three days
 
Updated to the latest FSR4 preview release. It’s ironic that when I see a new AMD driver I am happy to upgrade in my son’s 9070 XT rig. Yet in my own 4080 I have been totally unwilling to upgrade in months.

Good job on the additional FSR support AMD.

  • Intermittent application crash may be observed while playing FBC: Firebreak on some AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and some AMD Ryzen 7000 series APU products.
Several critical DAL fixes in this one, including the stutter when using Discord / other chromium apps on multi display setups (which I reported directly from my new system :P).

Just installed this, after opening the Adrenaline app and clicking on the gaming tab it froze my PC and a few minutes later I had a blue screen with a watchdog violation error.

that isn't good. do you have a kernel memory dump over at C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP? If so, can you copy it to downloads, compress it, and fire it over to me via something like https://send.vis.ee/?
 
I removed the driver using DDU and installed it again, no crash this time when I opened the gaming tab in Adrenalin. A few minutes into a Netflix 1080p video in Microsoft Edge the picture freezes but the sound keeps playing, I was unable to do anything to exit the frozen video and had to do a hard shutdown. One of the reasons I switched to AMD is that the drivers were supposed to be good, but I never had any major problems like this with Nvidia.

my 3060 did exactly this on youtube [im not trying to argue btw lol its probably a totally different reason i was just poking fun at my own problem i had and hoping youd find my issue funny]I havnt had very much issues with drivers since i changed to the 9070xt however totally different scenario and i can imagine your frustration
might be worth rolling ba ck to a driver from a couple of weeks ago?

For me it is, I use Veracrypt and there's a long standing bug that causes a random system freeze when the page file is enabled.

But it's required by windows and can lead to issues like crashes and bsods of it isn't there. Could you test with a pagefile, and a driver reinstall just to rule it out? You've been very quick to suddenly slate AMD drivers when Nvidia are having a worse time. And you don't see others posting with the same issue which at this moment in time would suggest an issue with your setup.

I'm dual booting with a main setup encrypted with Veracrypt on one SSD, and a gaming setup on another SSD (not encrypted). I didn't make many settings changes to the gaming setup and didn't touch the page file settings, also I did a clean install 6 weeks ago. I just tried upgrading to 25.6.2 (from 25.5.1) on the gaming setup, after it finished and launched Adrenalin it encountered the same system freeze as before, only this time I didn't even click on anything and it was sitting on the blue screen for a good 10 minutes before I did a manual shutdown. I think it's safe to say it's a driver issue and not a configuration issue.
