The AMD Driver Thread

Which titles are these?
I probably have them but have almost nothing installed currently.
May give one or two a try if find the time.

@ eyetrip. I also like the fact we have an AMD rep giving advice/helping out. The brief time I was with nvidea someone called NVrick popped in then bolted in the middle of the vram thread. This is actually 1 of the reasons I came back to amd.
i still say amd should go back to releasing CAP's (crossfire profiles), it'll be much better, people wouldn't have to wait months for new drivers just for new crossfire profiles so that the new game releases will work with crossfire.
That would be pretty awesome if you could.
I'm thinking mainly of FC4, AC:Unity and Dying Light. All still a bit rich for my pocket.

I have Crossfire and games just don't work properly so I'm running one card 90% of the time! Having to wait months and months for a new driver for a new title is a joke.
No thanks. Downloading a profile for game Y, finding out it doesn't work with the driver version that you're using for game X and so on.
I'd much rather AMD released incremental drivers updates with the profiles rolled in, such as 15.0.1 and so on. That way it's much less confusing.

I can understand why AMD wouldn't want to release CAP's seperately as it does make too many headaches with various configurations.
But why not just release beta drivers as and when they are ready? We know the Far Cry 4 Crossfire profile has been ready for ages and we're having to wait for official drivers? Game has been out for 3 months now.

I agree with this. But then I'm very rarely playing a game that's less than 6 months old and CF has usually been sorted.
Titanfall.
SWTOR.
Just two that I play where Crossfire doesn't work properly or scale well.
Titanfall isn't particularly demanding, yet I find myself having to tone down AA.
I have been asking Matt for some time for work on these but as of yet nothing has been done by AMD.

Can only look over in the nvidia driver thread and smile when I think of all times people said nvidia drivers are just better
Have said that myself too :/
Great to hear, thanks Sprite. I try my best to be around to help as much as time allows.
I've passed on your feedback S2KIP, don't worry. As and when i get any update regarding improvements to these titles, I'll let you know.

Add Watch Dogs and Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition to that list for me. Tried Watch Dogs with 2 cards (single screen @ 1080) and it was choppy and much worse when driving. Custom profile disabling Crossfire and it's smooth as anything. Sleeping Dogs DE doesn't have a Crossfire profile yet, and forcing the normal Sleeping Dogs one game me much lower frame rates than the normal game and my GPU usage was bouncing all over the place.
I love having a Crossfire and Eyefinity setup, but find it really frustrating when a game doesn't use both properly. Some games (Watch Dogs) I'm forced to play on one screen using one card like some kind of Neanderthal!

All you would have to do is add (upscaled to) 1080p and you could say 'console gamer'.

I've already raised an issue with Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition Stu, however in the meantime please try AFR Friendly as a custom Crossfire profile in this title.

Spent hours getting CF working on SD: D the other night.
The default AMD profile doesn't appear to work. I get both GPUs dithering around 50%. Create a custom profile and set to 'AFR friendly'. Seems to work well. Sleeping Dogs can now hammer both GPUs at 95%+, and I get great frame rates.
Excellent, as i suspected.
If and when i have more news about an AMD Crossfire profile for this game, I'll post about it here.
