The AMD Driver Thread

I got it going by alt and tabbing and then tabbing back (whilst in black screen mode) in and working on the settings from there. It runs in windowed mode at least :)

What amazes me is why does it run at all? If what you say is true, how come I can run it at 85Hz and even 100Hz (still the occasional flicker) but if it is because of the non industry standard timings, surely it wouldn't work on my 290X full stop?

I've also had the 295X2 running at 120hz on the ASUS ROG (ran really smooth), this is of course all amd card supposedly don't work well? :S

If you take a look at the custom resolution utility I imagine you will see.
Timings are on a per profile (i.e 1 res at 1 refresh rate) basis. A lot of the profiles may have standard timings, but maybe not the 1440p 144Hz one? I am not 100% sure on this, but I imagine its the case.

I have gone through all the CCC settings to see if there is a 60Hz option other than the standard res and refresh rate. The 3D profiles don't and even adding the game exe doesn't offer me that option.

Unless you are talking about something else of course?

What about certain games? Did you never get black screens and needed to fiddle?

I am referring to a program called "Custom Resolution Utility" (google it), its the thing you use to do those standard timings in the link matt was talking about.

It should list every combination of res and refresh rate your monitor supports, and alll of those settings timings too.

Never bud. 144hz was never a no go but 120hz was flicker/black screen free and all the games I ran run well.

BF4,Crysis 3,WOW, Guild Wars 2
 
Well this is a bit annoying.

Far Cry 4, GPU usage all over the place using new drivers. If I force AFR or the BF4 profile I get brilliant scaling (constant 60) but flickering. It's frustrating because it feels like it's so close, yet so far.
 
so it's taken just over 3 months. just to add freesync and afew crossfire profiles? thats crazy.

for the amount of time it took i thought maybe they've redesigned the UI.

so going from 15.3.1 to 15.3 gives basically nothing extra. they was making out don't use 15.3.1 because 15.3 will be better...

Still disappointed but the driver has done miracles for me for AC: Unity. The game was almost unplayable regardless of in-game settings. Everything cranked up and sitting pretty between 50-60fps on the 15.3's/.

Now onto FC4...

whoa looks like it was the drivers that screwed things up. Reinstalled to windows 8.1 and now things seem ok for now............hmm I've sent off an RMA request now lol

no...........nope we're ok the flickering is back awwww no 295x2 for a while.

Are you undervolted or is it going that at stock? Have you tried a different mini dp slot or tried reseating the card?
 
I'm getting some strange behaviour with the 15.3's in Dark Souls 2.
Slight stuttering & the animations are off somehow.

Drivers uninstalled/installed ok though.

Other than that I was looking forward to the VSR full fat downsampling but it looks like it missed the cut on this driver set.

Ran both games whilst doing my benching/testing and they both ran very well on a single 290X. Very smooth indeed and 1440P was averaging 57 fps with everything maxed :)

For Shadow of Mordor should I be using AFR?

Also when adding a profile it asks me to overwrite the default one, is this correct?

We already have a Crossfire profile for Shadow Of Mordor so no need to do anything, don't overwrite override the old one.

Despite this being a Nvidia title we had a working multi gpu solution in our customers hands before they did.

Keep an eye on video memory usage with that game if you use the texture pack.
