The AMD Driver Thread

I dont find that funny at all especially if I was wanting to play that title. They have taken the biscuit in providing drivers this year.

Was there a mass cull of staff we don't know about?

Probably you're right but still it is an issue. What if it only has impact on the Samsung solution? We certainly do not know. I just shared what I heard from somebody and when I challenged the person I was pointed to read the manual by myself. If somebody can test this on a freesync setup that would be great.

no one use monitor speakers.
If this ever happens this is minor bug.
Maybe it happens due to change of power delivery change with freesync on.
Just built-in sound and monitor feeding from one power source.
Are you expert in electronics? Stop speculate upon nothing.

There probably was a mass culling of staff, they probably keep that stuff quiet though.
 
Matt has been busy with driver coding for the last few days, he has to code inbetween his PR obligations on forums. ;)

No, I am not an expert but had some training and when I read something like that I start wondering about what is going on. What you described is also an issue because this could indicate bad monitor design as power should be stabilised. Now, if the issue is related to signal source (AMD card) then we have a more pronounced problem at hand. Can somebody test this?

EDIT:
Let me clarify it, if the sound quality drop happens on the monitor ONLY then it is monitor design issue. Still, does it happen on all monitors? If sound quality can drop on the monitor then theoretically the image quality can suffer as well. If the sound quality drops before the monitor then this is a Freesync issue. Again, this would require testing and this can also be different between cards.

Yeah, im sure the people who felt stung by the gtx 970 and "ramgate" felt like they were being treated like Kings. We already know your agenda so why bother posting in here?
 
Why are they babbling on about Hairworks, when you can just reduce the Tessellation level with the slider in the drivers, when in doing so, it runs fine, and looks exactly the same.

Hairworks isn't a problem for AMD cards!

So they should the amount they charge for there cards and the lack of futureproofing.
Nvidia uses can't keep their card for longer than a year without having to upgrade for the best experience.

And NV are disabling overclocking on laptops again.

Now lets move on.

The recent driver updates have disabled over-clocking support for GTX 900M Series GPUs. The notebook community has already given it the affectionate title of ‘clock-block’. However, we have word that the issue is apparently not deliberate this time and will be fixed in next week’s driver update.

Never claimed they were cheap but it's like with all things in life you get what you pay for, it's like Apple their customers enjoy the experience so they're happy to pay over the odds.

As for the jeerers you only have to look at the amount of work NVidia do behind the scenes with GameWorks etc to see they look after their customers, the way AMD users are (rightly or wrongly) seething at them with every game release is surely evidence of that.

I haven't felt the need to upgrade my 780 yet so not sure what your point is regarding futureproofing, I've been buying PC hardware for 15yrs and you've never been able to buy any CPU/GPU that is top dog for more than a year. There was a time when AMD were on top they would release new hardware every 2-3months (AMD Athlon K7), some processors were superseded before they even reached shop shelves.
