The AMD Driver Thread

[eyetrip]

I keep popping in here to see what's changed... Not much by the looks of things.

Glad I made the move. I feel for you crossfire users. Especially those with freesync.

Not just for Win 10.

True, however, are these modded drivers not working very well for the majority?

They suck for batman under W10, stutter and lag fest.

15.6 beta is way better.

 

[LtMatt]

Multi GPU FreeSync baby. (works with VSR too )

Drink em in lads, have a good night.

 

[spikeot]

Hi Matt, thanks, they sound good. The link to Release Notes is giving a 401 error though.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Release notes tab is fine for me.

 

[RavenXXX2]

So is the W10 15.7 driver available via windows update yet.

NVM now available.

[bemaniac]

wow! I'm happy for owners here! Sounds like a great driver. Too late for me and eyetrip but you never know - keep it up and release cards with more vram and you're golden.

 

[r22snapper]

Thanks Matt, vsr on the 280x woop woop!

 

[docsonic]

nice one thanks going to try them out now!

 

[shankly1985]

Sweet nice one matt..

 

[Matson]

I take it its normal for VSR not to show up in my ccc using a 3440x1440 panel?

 

[Dave2150]

New official drivers at last!

 

[Gerard]

I'd guess the gta v stuff is worthless now since rockstar helpfully broke the game with their latest patch and murdered performance.

 

[Dave2150]

@AMDMatt, I wanted to ask if there's going to be any driver love for 'Ark:Survival' in future drivers? Thanks

 

[thebennyboy]

These drivers seems to cause my second card to completely disappear from Windows. It's not even in device manager...

EDIT: Nvm, my own fault.

 

[Gerard]

Is there an autotune feature coming soon to these drivers? I had the fury drivers installed and plonked in my 295x2, then i got an autotune options which seemed to try and overclock my gpu while putting a weird looking background up with the amd logo as it done it. Disappeared when i put on the proper drivers.
