The AMD Driver Thread

Just installed the guys from page 2 unsigned ones.

AMD'd 15.5

API overhead test

DX11 multi 874 308
DX11 Single 931 772
Mantle 9 777 904

Modded 15.15

DX11 multi 1 120 471
DX11 single 1 165 430
Mantle 9 808 061

So a good improvement, I know the test doesn't seem right with dx11 version being the opposite way round then you would expect but i ran it twice and got similar results.

Will try gaming tomorrow, its late now and im going to bed

Well that didn't change a thing, still says 15.5 I'll try DDU in safe mode and come back again.

Just an heads up leaked driver or sometimes beta drivers dont show the version number either correct or sometimes at all..

To make sure the driver is indeed the correct one you wanted check the driver information..

For example - 15.200.1040.0

CCC: 2015.0526.1819.31103
2D: 8.01.01.1500
D3D: 9.14.10.01128
OGL: 6.14.10.13394
OCL: 10.0.1800.3
Mantle: 9.1.10.0075
Mantle API: 98307

15.5
14.502.1014.1001-150526a-184427E

Woops, I'm in safe mode now, I didn't think to check that. Thanks!

Edit: Uninstalled and restarted from safe mode after using DDU. I've tried installing the 15.15 from a few pages back, but all the install is showing me is:

HDMI Audio Driver
AMD Catalyst Inst.. something
AMD Gaming Evolved.

I've restarted after this before but still not getting my normal resolution or the catalyst control etc so I can't check the version.

These drivers are "NOT SIGNED! disable driver signature enforcement or enable test mode"

So thats why the driver isnt showing up you need to force windows to allow the driver to install.
 
Still nothing.

WIndows 7 is in test mode, driver signing is off (used cmd). I restarted after that, installed the guru3d linked drivers, restarted, still no catalyst option..
 
Funny to see people are actually jumping to use modded drivers now when they saw perf uplift in real test aswell. Remember they are still modded, and they contain some problems over officials. So make sure you read all post from that driver thread on guru3d.

I've been calling that AMD driver are overhead/drawcall capped in several games and different situations even on 7970. Usually arguments are that modern I5 or I7 is more than enough etc. Glad things are getting better on this chart on AMD. Yes, we're still far what nvidia can push through tneir drivers. But 30%+ improvement sureöy feels good.

Sorry about possible typos, hate tablets

You seen the drawcall figures in direct 12 though? Its a 10 fold increase on what we are getting in directx 11

Yeah I know we have good future with modern API's. Unfortunately we still have to survive the transition period. So dx11 improvement are neccessary (I don't mean AMD needs to catch NV on this chart, just improve enough that we're not being limited by it).

How does it run with just one card? have you tried crossfire?
Click to expand...

I've just fired up dirt rally and tried both combinations of 2 cards (0 + 12 & 0 + 6) as well as a single card

Running at 1440 down-sampled to 1080. Settings mostly ultra/high, blender off. Driver version 15.5 beta, on 3 x 290's

Single card was worse, getting mid 40's FPS where I had solid 60 before

both dual card combinations were giving me same result as three cards, 60 when outside car, 40's when inside.

Interestingly the 0+6 cards only show 1 card as producing an output in afterburner

0+12 display as both working however...

Since performance in game is same for both dual card combinations I have to assume both are actually working and this is an issue with afterburner...

Any thoughts on how to get better FPS when playing from inside car without loosing the eye candy? I've got kinda used to this view from playing AC these last few months and there certainly seems to be more grunt left in the cards as usage is only ~50% ....
