@ AMDMatt

Will there be a driver to improve performance on Dying Light in next few weeks?

I've had to resort to playing this on PS4 lol.

I'm using ultra settings. Both cards are 290X's with 4GB, rest of system is a 5960X, 16GB DDR4 and SOC Force board.

Yes we have a new driver coming soon. I can't give you an exact date, but it's not far off.

What about if you use one card?

Didn't get round to trying yesterday, and likely not going to get chance to fiddle until weekend again :/

Just moved back to AMD switched my 970 for a 8gb MSI R9 290X hopefully getting another soon if another retailer plays ball and accepts my return.

Anyway I am having trouble with setting up eyefinity.

Cleaned with DDU
Installed latest omega driver

Final step after the eyefinity setup just after alignment I click next all 3 displays turn black and won't turn back on.

I have to unplug all but 1 lead use DDU again and reinstall driver to get my 3 monitors back.

They work fine in expanded mode just not eyefinity.
Everything was ok with NVSURROUND?

Any ideas how to fix or if it is getting worked on

Hi DMF1986,

Great to hear and glad to have you back on the Red Team.

To be perfectly honest with you, Eyefinity is not my area of expertise due to never having actually been fortunate enough to use it myself. However i will speak with my support team and come back to you with more help as soon as possible.

Wait your reply

Thanks for your patience DMF.

I've just spoken with our support team and this a known issue and we've reproduced it locally and have fixed it in our next driver which is due soon.

Secret_Window · 2 Feb 2015 at 17:54

Just wondering if anyone knows when AMD are bringing downsampling to the HD 7xxx series in its drivers?

Will it be a official update or released as a beta first?

We have a new driver coming soon, which will include this fix as well as a host of other fixes, improvements, Crossfire profiles etc.

Matson · 2 Feb 2015 at 18:43

don't you think it was better before matt when you would release crossfire profiles as soon as they were available instead of the method now of us all having to wait for the driver.

It is coming, i hope too that it's in this driver coming. I want to give the 4K goodness a go on my 280X's.

Yes, when you had monthly drivers, the crossfire caps seemed redundant, now when its sometimes a few months between drivers, the caps are arguably more needed than ever.
I used to use them religiously with Clevo laptop with crossfire I had at the time.

Hoping that AMD bring them back. Doesn't seem like there would be that much work involved.

Thanks, our customers feedback is always appreciated and we never stop looking for ways to improve on the things we do. It has been noted.

As i mentioned in the other thread S2KIP, running Mantle 4K Max setting it's around 4.8-5gb.
