The AMD Driver Thread

Matt - is there any reason to use these drivers with xfire 7970s or am I best sticking with 14.12 omegas? I'm presuming outside of some crossfire profiles the development in drivers is now aimed at newer cards.

I have seen this crop up in other forums and some people mention changing drivers fixes the issue.

Did you check that FOV setting in Dying Light? Also, please check my thread (2 pages) if you have time. Thank you sir.

I have a 3930K aswell. Crossfire has problems on that game (I use one atm) even with the newer patches and draw distance at 0.

Yes, it appears I'm using the setting +16. I might have to revisit that as I'm not sure if i should increase it as I'm running at 4K.

Warsam71 is the official AMD community manager on Overclock.net by the way, so he'll be able to respond to any posts there.

I do see a slight drop from 60fps at 1440P while running around the city by the way, i think it's just the game so i wouldn't worry about swapping out your cpu.

Yes, upgrade. This new driver had several new Crossfire profiles added as well as performance improvements to many existing profiles.

I don't think the 3930k is the issue. I am running with 3930k (4.8) and not seeing any drops like you are getting. I was using max draw distance but standard FOV. Even if I use the original full draw distance settings it's still always above 50fps.
 
Well, fc4 defo not smooth, even on low with vsync and triple buffering.

Oh well, will just leave it alone for now.

Now.... Back to advanced warfare or a new run of inquisition, or alien isolation...

Don't know if this has been already posted here but there you go guys... VSR and Frame Limiter to 280 series and 7xxx series cards for w8.1

Now, 7xxx was not supposed to be able to get VSR because of some (artificial?) limitations :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

It's blatantly obvious that any limitation is/was artificial given the world had been downsampling for years....... Ignoring the fact that before frame pacing drivers people were downsampling on 7970's using http://www.forum-3dcenter.org/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=9282115&postcount=5099
Like I said when it launched. Half arsed (But people will defend AMD to the hilt it seems)

Of FFS.

My PC has gone schizo again.

When I enable VSYNC and run games on my 4k display they all crash now.

It was working fine last night, and the only change between now and then was a PC reboot...

Main 'desktop display' - AOC 2770PQU
Main 'gaming' display - Panasonic 58AX802b

The Panasonic is connected via DisplayPort and is an 'MST' device, but Eyefinity sorts that all out and stitches the tiled displays together automatically (though I am wondering if that is causing the problem)

I often have to make the Panasonic the primary display so that games know to start up on that screen, though some games such as Battlefield 4/Hardline allow you to specify which monitor to use.

Anyway, I tried playing Far Cry 4 and now it keeps crashing on startup, yet if I open it on my AOC it runs fine, or if I disable VSYNC is runs fine on my Panasonic.

Same with Battlefield Hardline. Enabling VSYNC when it's running on the Panasonic immediately crashes the game.

It happens if I use Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 and I know it's not a hardware issue as I was literally playing with VSYNC on last night.

Any ideas? I googled 'Eyefinity VSYNC' and all the discussions were 3 years old, before MST screens even became a thing.
 
AMD Catalyst (15.200.1012.2 March 11) Win 8.1 Mod - VSR for HD7/R7/R9 & FPS limiter

This is the Windows 10 driver distributed via Windows Update, now modified to work with Win 8.1.

VSR and FPS limiter are enabled (the card must support it) CCC is from 15.3 Beta to avoid issues.
Based on reports in this thread looks like VSR is working for HD7000, R7, R9 280 and possibly more so try for yourself and report back.
On R9 290 Series the resolution is unlocked up to 4K. (3840x2160)

To install and use this driver you must enable the "Test Mode" or disable the driver signature enforcement.
This driver is for advanced users only, if you do not know what you are doing stay away from it.
