The AMD Driver Thread

The Shader Cache feature is a great addition, it's eliminated all microstutter in Battlefield 4 and all Frostbite games in QuadFire Fury X for me. DX11 now plays as nicely as Mantle does.
Will the new thing play ball with my 7970's?
Read the anandtech article for more detailed information.
Shader Cache will reduce level loading times and provide smoother gameplay the second time and beyond you play a game/level, as the Shaders are compiled and then stored in a Cache on your hard drive and will be used next time you play. The difference is night and day for me in the Frostbite engine, which has never been favourable towards four GPU's, unless you were running under the Mantle API.

I've been using Crimson for a few weeks now, it's nice. Shader Cache is my favourite new feature. It makes Battlefield 4 DX11 play nicely with QuadFire at 4K.
Damnit, i missed the driver launch and didn't get to post the drivers first. This is annoying!
Should not stop you updating the OP and still doing a proper post here anyway.
Checking out the driver at the moment myself
Yep will do. I'm compiling the release notes for a post format. They are quite long time time, as you can imagine.
AMD Radeon™ Software Crimson Edition
Highlights of AMD Radeon Software Crimson Edition
Hello everyone,
Click hereto download the driver.
Radeon Software Crimson Edition is AMD’s revolutionary new graphics software that delivers redesigned functionality, supercharged graphics performance, remarkable new features, and innovation that redefines the overall user experience.

The AMD Radeon Software Crimson edition is the first publicly available driver that enables all LiquidVR features, which are currently being validated and tested by VR headset manufacturers and ecosystem partners.
Asynchronous Shaders:
A feature that has been extensively used by game console developers is now available to PC Gamers. Asychronous Shaders break complex serial workloads into smaller parallel tasks, thereby allowing idle GPU resources to be used more efficiently and parallel workloads allow taskes to be completed much faster.
Shader Cache:
The shader cache feature allows complex shaders to be cached, thereby resulting in reduced game load times, lower CPU usage and significantly reduced stuttering and latency during gameplay.
Optimized Flip Queue Size:
The optimized Flip Queue Size provides users with the very latest keyboard and mouse positional information during gameplay to reduce input latency on DirectX 9® , DirectX® 10 and DirectX® 11 applications. This feature is a driver optimization, therefore it is automatically enabled and requires no user configuration or setup.
Freesync™ Enhancements:
Minimum/Maximum display rate is now listed in Radeon Settings
Low framerate compensation to reduce or eliminate judder when application FPS falls below the minimum refresh rate of an AMD Freesync™ enabled display
New support for AMD Freesync™ with AMD Crossfire™ in DirectX 9® titles
Custom Resolution Support:
This feature provided users more control over display capabilities allowing the user to create custom display profiles to attempt to drive their display with chosen resolution, timings, refresh rates and pixel clocks.
Frame Pacing Enhancements:
Frame pacing support is now extended to DirectX® 9 titles.
Frame Rate Target Control Enhancements:
FRTC enhancements include: power saving capability, support for DirectX® 9 titles and an extended range for target control (30 ‐200 FPS).
Updated Video Feature support for 'Carrizo' products:
FluidMotion for smoothing playback of 24/30 FPS video using Cyberlink PowerDVD 15 for Blu‐Ray playback
Improved edge enhancement for sharper images Improved de‐interlacing for interlaced content
Power Optimization:
Improved power optimizations for video, gaming and FRTC enabled gaming environments (AMD Radeon™ R7 360, AMD Radeon™ R9 380, AMD Radeon™ R9 390 series and AMD Radeon™ Fury series)..
Directional Scaling:
Enhanced image quality for 1080p media content scaled to 4K resolution using adaptive directional filtering technology (AMD Radeon™ Fury products).
Dynamic Contrast Update:
Qualative changes are now content adaptive and provides video enthusiasts with improved video quality and contrast settings (AMD Radeon™ R8 285, AMD Radeon™ R9 380 and AMD Radeon™ Fury products).
DisplayPort to HDMI 2.0 support:

AMD Issue Reporting Form:
This driver release incorporates suggestions received through the AMD Issue Reporting Form. To provide us with your feedback, visit the AMD Issue Reporting Form.
Remember folks, read the last line to report any issues.
It's a bug, we're planning to fix this and some of the other commonly mentioned issues in Crimson in a soon to be released driver.
You can fix this particular issue by performing a fresh reinstallation of the drivers, but this time do not touch the fan speed setting in Global Overdrive within Crimson. This should leave the default setting and not cause this issue to occur.
At this particular moment in time, yes only via DisplayPort. However, FreeSync via HDMI is coming.
The card will throttle down to 2D clocks if needed to prevent damage.
@Matt
IS LINUX GETTING FREESYNC SUPPORT ANY TIME !
Also they have a couple of regressions in some titles with the 15.11's. Upsetting going on the jump they managed with the 15.5/7's
PS. Sorry for shouting but thought you may miss my post, also you can shout at the relevant people and say you have been shouted at so passing it on
Can't answer this yet I'm afraid Pete.
Just roll back to the previous driver mate as you indicated that was fine. Hotfix should be out tonight.
Please report the Core Clock fluctuation issue using the following form. Please include reproduction examples so we can reproduce the issue. Include details of games that the issue occurs on. Include details like What Radeon Settings you are using FRTC, FreeSync, Frame Pacing etc. What causes it and what fixes it. We've had very few bug reports about this issue and of course we want to fix it. Don't reply to me here, leave a report here.

No surprise there. Don't worry, as soon as AMD have something good to announce he will be back. lol
Sad, but it's the way AMD roll these days. It only makes me potentially picking up pascal when it comes out to be an easier choice
You can find me on the AMD forums, AMDCare, or via the AMD.com/support website. It's no longer my responsibility to hang around here pandering to you folks. I keep updating the thread though and help out when I'm not working in my spare time, merely as a courtesy. I'm not about to abandon this thread or OcuK completely.
If you have issues to report, you can do so here.
Sorry Matt that comes across to me as bad
I didnt know that you were just ever here to pander to us. I even recall when you didnt work for AMD you were still here and helping people even though it wasnt your responsibility.
If your work keeps you busy better to just say that IMO rather than how you worded it
Hope you have a merry xmas
Haha, perhaps pander was the wrong word to use.
Sadly I don't have a lot of time to keep up to date with every post in this thread. It's not a case of I'm avoiding the thread or have disappeared and will only return where there is good news. The best bet is to use the official channels to get help or report issues.
Merry Christmas to you Triss.
Thanks Stu. I'll always make time for the OcuK folk, that's why i still update the thread and help out around here - when i can.
Those quotes i saw deserved an explanation though, i thought.
Just had a couple of messages from my son about graphical issues while playing GTA - he's sent me this to show the issue:
I've suggested to him the usual - rebooting, trying different settings in GTA for shadows - and he says he's already tried that. I won't be home until late this evening and don't really want to try to talk him through installing older drivers (although he's 17 and considers himself an epic PC gamer, he's got NO interest in how a PC works or how to troubleshoot issues) - anyone seen this before and got any suggestions I can ping over to him so I stop his whining and get back to work?
He's playing on my PC (as in signature) and I'm on the latest 15.11.1 Crimsons.
Try this Stu, it's quick and easy.
