It's a start communication is key for me.

Dear AMD Community,
We have listened to your feedback and are pleased to announce that the AMD Support & Game Forums will be switching to a new platform. This new platform is going to provide you with many exciting new features.
The current AMD Support & Game Forums will be temporarily unavailable starting Thursday, May 14, 2015 and we plan to be back online on Monday, May 18, 2015.
Since we are moving to a brand new platform, you will need to re-register and create a new account in order to participate.
We thank you for your contributions and look forward to welcoming you to the new forums.

My little idea that should happen is maybe also put a link to the forums inside the AMD driver software?
Let's get communication a number one target towards your user base.

I don't want to be left in the dark about something or guessing something, I understand that you cant always answer every question. But look at the April crossfire Freesync driver did that really need to wait till last day of the month? I very much doubt it did.

thats good but i still think they will leave people in the dark about upcoming drivers. it don't say what the new features will be and it doesn't say they'll be giving abit more information on upcoming drivers.

Very pleased, that forum needed a facelift.

deuse · 5 May 2015 at 07:57

A new forum? some people are easily pleased. And still no driver update!

MrMarvelous · 5 May 2015 at 12:18

When the fuggn' 'ell is this new driver coming out?

Ayahuasca · 5 May 2015 at 12:20

When it's ready :cool:

shankly1985 · 5 May 2015 at 12:27

Yes I know we all want an answer that wasn't what I was asking :rolleyes:

Just interested in what we would all like..

For me its Freesync Crossfire and maybe if Project Cars will support Crossfire..

I was personally referring to the Q's I had asked. Also a driver as some platforms haven't had one since the 14.12's :rolleyes:

Given how long pcars has been about in various build states, I'd be shocked if there wasn't already a cf profile for it.

Ayahuasca · 5 May 2015 at 13:17

Some still waiting for an Elite Dangerous profile as well.

Yeah just had a look inside the profiles they is indeed a crossfire profile.

bemaniac · 5 May 2015 at 13:36

yeah pcars works under certain circumstances/graphical settings very well but enable the wrong settings and usage goes down to 50% on each card at 28fps

pgi947 · 5 May 2015 at 13:39

No doubt driver improvements for it will come over the next few weeks, but the basic frame work is there, can't wait for it my self, assetto corsa has felt stagnant for a while and the career mode is a joke.

LtMatt · 5 May 2015 at 13:41

pcars is a GameWorks title, so you'll want to disable those features if running an AMD gpu as neither the developer, nor AMD, is able to optimise any GameWorks code to perform optimally on our hardware.
