No, as i Vsync.
But ill give it a go now.

Who else does not have VSR, but should according to the release notes of 15.7?

Yet to see anyone with a R7 265 or 7800 series state they have this option in CCC.

I dont have it on my R9 280, but i believe thats because my resolution is not supported 1680x1050 (yup living in the past)

Witcher 3 xfire is better in this new driver, at 4k at least for me. No flickering and mostly very smooth with a slight hitch every now and then. So close to perfection! haha

Arkham Knight still runs just as well (I never had the performance issues as some).

Haven't tested GTAV yet though.

Flicker free? Need to get these ones installed then! That's been my only problem after fixing the tesselation.

is the crossfire between 200/300 meant? or a side effect?
dare to comment on this one matt? ^^;

Will look into it, cheers Mei.

I get an option for VSR in CCC in the same section where gpu scaling is found but no actual VSR resolutions are seen in CCC. However you can change resolutions to 1440P in games.

I dont have dirtybomb,i had the FPS limited to 55, but when i turned Vsync back on in the game it went back to 60FPS.

its free on steam if u wnt try it
understand if u dont tho

yeh i tried restarting the game after turning vsync off, it was limited to 60 in the menu but i think thats the game limiting that, soon as joined a game 200fps...
its just the one ticky box to enable it right?

What DirectX version does that game use?

troops · 9 Jul 2015 at 09:55

Doesn't work for me either in WoT but does in benchmarks, dont have that many games installed to try.
Is it dependant on DX version?

TNA · 9 Jul 2015 at 09:57

Matt, as you have a 4K monitor, are you also experiencing the cursor bug? I am on windows 8.1 and after installing 15.7 I have a huge ugly pixelated mouse pointer.

To temporarily fix it in mouse properties under pointers I have enabled pointer shadow which kind of fixes it. But the text select icon is still huge.

Please report this to the driver team. Can live with it until I go windows 10 next month.

Looking forward to testing the new maximum frame rate tool. Most games I won't need more than 60fps, so as long as it works properly it is a very handy tool

Frame Rate Target Control™ (FRTC)
FRTC allows the user to set a maximum frame rate when playing an application in full screen exclusive mode. This feature provides the following benefits:
Reduced GPU power consumption
Reduced system heat
Lower fan speeds and less noise

This feature is supported on applications using DirectX® 10 or higher.

I had this bug on my old monitor, but it does not occur on my new one. Investigating and noted, thanks.

That's strange, wonder what having a different monitor would have to do with it. My monitor is relatively new, not like the first gen ones which had issues.

That is a shame Frame Rate Target Control could not be achieved in dx9 as majority of the games I would have made use of the tool would have been dx9. Still nice to have it. Will come more and more useful in the future

Great! Finally Freesync CF profile is out! Hopefully it is all smooth and nice.

Cant wait to try the W3 CF profile tonight.

russell664 · 9 Jul 2015 at 10:36

My GPUs are unplugged, PC bits everywhere, can't test these new features!

Looking forward to giving them a go when I can!
