Dont know what the deal is with my 290, no matter what drivers I install now the fan has its own mind and does what it wants

Are you using any overclocking utilities like afterburner or trixxx?

Matt, I know I mentioned this a long time ago...

Custom resolutions - is there any likelihood AMD are looking at implementing this in their drivers?

I can work around it by using "Custom Resolution Utility", but it would be nice to have something native.

Also, being able to set a max frame rate on an individual basis per game in profiles/drivers would be wicked!

I will ask about it, as I'm honestly not sure.

I have AB installed, fans going crazy but AB reporting it at 20% , same with GPU-Z/CCC. GPU isnt even hot this starts from boot! Never happened before and is happening all of a sudden now !

Screenshot of afterburner fan control settings please sir.

Here you go, I had it manually on 51% as that's tolerable but it was going way way higher than that. I then changed it it to Auto while taking this screenshot and it indicated it was 20% yet the fan on the 290 is going crazy, maybe 70-80%

Try using a custom fan profile, like in this screenshot below.

Had one before but fan still does its own thing as of late. I'll keep an eye on it

Tommy i mentioned earlier in the thread, the next driver will have a Farcry 4 profile.

I know, but Ubi patched in AMD mgpu support ~5 weeks ago, no use to me if I finish the game first like what happened with Ryse as I don't do re plays.

Bring back Caps I say.

I don't see why AMD can't update Crossfire profiles as and when they are ready, as opposed to having to wait weeks on end for the next batch of drivers.

Purposely held off playing Far Cry 4 due to lack of Crossfire support.

Aze · 30 Jan 2015 at 10:51

Is there any plans for 295x2 or 290x 8GB version to support 4K at 60hz through HDMI?

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if AMD had a mgpu profile done for 1.6 then ubi broke it again on 1.7 leaving AMD to start over.

AMD used to do Cap profiles for game mgpu profiles but that got binned.

Zeed · 30 Jan 2015 at 10:58

Aze hdmi cant handle 4k@60 afaik you need hdmi 2.0 for that.

Aze · 30 Jan 2015 at 11:15

@Lord_Zed

HDMI 1.4 can handle 4k at 60hz with color loose. That why asking.

Thanks anyway.

Doesn't mean it was fully ready, there were patches after that.

Hi,

When can we expect the release of new driver ? i have a crossfire of r9-290 and it's not enabled in Dying Light

I already try to create a custom Crossfire profile of AFR Friendly or 1x1 Optimize but it doesn't work

Any advice ?

Devrij · 30 Jan 2015 at 14:11

I'd settle for them fixing the DPC latency I'm getting with xfire, never mind xfire performance with games. I mean look at this

When using Mantle in BF4 i have found a good balance of settings to stop the stuttering. However I can literally watch the VRAM usage creep up and after about 10 - 15 minutes the VRAM maxes out and the game hard crashes, has to then be closed with task manager. mantle is buttery smooth when it works.

That used to happen with my Tahiti LE, to stop it i set the Texture Quality to medium, that stopped it filling the buffer.

same, i have two 280x's and i got crossfire working when using afr but its very bad, makes textures like blood splatter on screen flicker loads!!

dying light are working on a patch or fix crossfire, its a game issue not really amd
