The AMD Driver Thread

Great, can't wait to see what improvement it brings because ARK has very poor performance. Will 20% be a noticeable boost? At the settings I use at the moment I am getting roughly 50fps, so I should be getting 60fps after Friday's update.

Or will it mean I can turn up the settings without affecting performance too much? Or both?

ARK gets a DX12 patch on friday so that may give you a nice boost.

This will be interesting. They are saying 20% boost for DX12 but is that for all or just Nvidia?

Judging by how AMD DX12 drivers appear to be on the same level API overhead wise I expect more than 20% for AMD since the DX11 drivers are so far behind in the first place.

It wasn't built as a dx12 game from the ground up mind.

Has anyone tried Far Cry 4 with Crossfire lately?

I hadn't played it in ages, so I don't know if it is a game patch or OS or driver problem, but tried to play co-op with someone today and the game is a flickering mess with messed up textures. It used to work fine a few months ago.

All other games play fine with no artifacts. The problem goes away with crossfire disabled for the game, but it obviously runs a lot slower (I must change these HD7850s sometime).

Game version: 1.10.0, OS: Windows 10, Driver: 15.7.1 (15.20.1062.1004), GPUs: 2x HD7850 2GB

Exactly the same problem here!
 
Trying to get the game recording utility in Raptr to work and I seem to remember it being called GVR but all I see is Plays.TV and the Twitch streaming option.

When recording anything with Plays.TV the quality is extremely low, Around the 10Mb/s mark even when it's set to 50Mb/s.

Did they remove GVR ?

If it's been removed then maybe it's a sign of things to come? AMDs own in-house recording software? Yes please! Probably dreaming but that would be awesome.

I was using it fine about 2 months ago. Uninstalled it cos I was always accidentally activating it.

Well in it's place is sort of a GVR function but it's called Plays.TV and the recording quality is quite low with bit rates around 10Mb/s even if you set it at 50Mb/s.

Nvidia have had Shadowplay out since around mid 2013 and AMD still can't get a proper version out.

That's one thing I really like about Nvidia, They have a proper inhouse program not some 3rd party janky piece of software.

I hope AMD get their act together soon in this area.

AMD should have hired the bloke that made RadeonPro, had they have done so then could have had a piece of software purpose built for AMD GPU that would have blown Nvidia software out of the water.

You mean the RadeonPro creator that was then employed by AMD to make Raptr, which I personally find problematic and so opt to not run it at Windows start (or at many other times, either)?;)

idd, the "AMD Gaming Evolved" client is utter crap. Hope they eventually make some in-house software.
