The AMD Driver Thread

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).

those running win 10 says it is better on that OS already
 
Just in gfx score, im still on a i7-950 so my physx score sucks :)

But i have 23727 fro two 290x which beats at least one titan in sli and one 980ti in sli so im happy with that :)

Really?

Damn think I need to try these out later.

What over clocks u got on ur cards? My best score was about 19,000 with 4.6ghz on the couch and 1220 / 1500 in the gpus
 
Well this is apparantly a 390x firestrike score

http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/7320231?

11,874 gpu score

And this is my 290x at 390x speeds

http://www.3dmark.com/fs/5126770

12,610 gpu

So to me there the same as long as you can get those speeds from ur 290x

Nice, better than 91% of all the results :)

Mine is 96% better :)

Amazed at the performance boost in these new drivers.

I tried Mordor last night with the ultra setting and texture pack.

52 fps in 4k and 77 fps in 1440p average which i am impressed with tbh.
 
Yeah my i7-950 doesnt cut the other stuff but I assumes its valid to just compare the gfx score?

Anyway my gfx score went up 9.1% with the new drivers so im happy.

With 15.5 i got 27,000 gpu score will try my overclocks when i get home on the new settings.

Yeh just 1 card 1100/1550 elite dangerous ultra settings with aa down to 2x and getting 45fps docked. These new drivers are really good.

Just not elite crossfire profile still!!!!!
 
Here's the full run down of what's in the 15.20 drivers

Driver Update Brings New Use Cases & Value
Whenever a company like AMD launches a new series of graphics cards like the Radeon 300 series, they usually accompany it with a new graphics driver. However, AMD is not simply updating their drivers to support the R9 Fury X, they are completely overhauling their drivers across the board.

AMD is releasing a two-phase driver release with Catalyst 15.15 and 15.20
. The 15.15 drivers are available immediately,and the 15.20 drivers are coming a few weeks later.

The Catalyst 15.15 drivers bring new features like:
FPS Targeting - The ability to save power by setting a maximum FPS target
Virtual Super Resolution - The ability to down scale a game from a high
resolution to a lower resolution, giving a user higher-quality textures in game
(also known as supersampling)
Performance optimizations:
Adding game performance optimizations to AMD R9 Fury Xand other graphics cards.

Although Catalyst 15.15 drivers will not be available for Windows 10, Catalyst
15.20 will be.
The Catalyst 15.20 drivers will bring features like:
Catalyst Uninstaller:Allows users to uninstall their AMD catalyst drivers
cleanly, so new drivers can be installed without incident.
OpenCL 2.0 optional features.
Multiple performance and feature additions
FreeSync + CrossFire:The ability to run FreeSync dynamic screen refresh
technology with multiple GPUs in CrossFire mode.

Catalyst 15.20 divers will also have Windows 10 specific features like:
HEVC(High Efficiency Video Codec):Enables quality streaming and 4K
experiences
DirectX 12:Support for the low-level efficient graphics API for Windows 10
Windows 10 WHQL(Windows Hardware Quality Lab)

AMD’s latest driver release (15.20) will be WHQL and WHQL for Windows 10 as well
