The AMD Driver Thread

Just updated to latest driver, can see logo on screen during POST, can see the little Windows 10 logo then the screen goes black and into standy mode. Went into safe mode removed them, DDU and reinstalled, still the same getting black screens after POST.

Any ideas?

EDIT......NEVER MIND GOT IT SORTED

However, what's happened to all the advanced settings? There doesn't seem to be any option now to go open the old style CCC panel, in there you could set colour levels, check on Freesync, move around displays, desktop management....that all seems to have disappeared.

Radeon Settings > Preferences > Additional Settings.

We are in the process of moving the rest of the features from CCC over to Radeon Settings.
 
done some more testing if i go back to amd-catalyst-15.11.1beta-64bit-win10-win8.1-win7-nov14 ALL games work fine :eek::eek::eek::eek:


i think its something to do with switchable graphics could you pass it on to driver team @AMDMatt ALL drivers above that plays up on certain games and its all 8970m have googled it and a lot of ppl in same boat now for long time its deffo that switchable graphics thing

cheers ;)

Can you try using the 16.5.3 drivers and adding the application to CCC Slim and enabling the switchable graphics application monitor to check which GPU is being used in each application?
 
Hi, My Global frame rate target control keeps turning off, Is anyone else having or had this problem and if so how is it fixed please? I always keep the drivers updated. I haven't touched any individual game settings only this global setting to keep fps under 100 but its always turned back off whenever I check it. It's a 60 hz panel.

This is mentioned in the release notes.

Known Issue:
Frame Rate Target Control gaming profiles may fail to enable for some games.

If you use DDU and upgrade to 16.6.1 that might restore functionality.
 
Matt can you confirm that people with the 300 cards are seeing black horizontal line flickering in windows with latest drivers? I want to know if its just me?

We fixed a similar issue in 16.6.1, are you using those drivers?

Guys, need a few suggestions, something really starting to irk me regarding a good old fashion "High Definition Audio Bus" bug.

Little bit of back story, i'll keep it short. I've always had my monitor on Display 1 for gaming and desktop stuff, but also have got the lounge Samsung Plasma hooked up via HDMI for movie watching with the wife. Now in the past, this always worked flawless. When we wanted to watch a movie or something through the TV, I'd just turn to HDMI4 on the TV, change to display 2 on PC and then change my speaker setting playback to the TV speakers via HDMI (comes up as Samsung in playback sound devices) all standard really.

Now the previous driver I downloaded (16.5.2.1) when watching a movie through the TV I had lost the ability to get sound through the TV completely. It wasn't even giving me an option to select TV as my sound playback device. Was really annoying me cause my PC and 5.1 setup is the other side of the lounge and just is weird watching movie on the TV with the sound coming from 20 feet away where my PC is.

Just decided to download the new driver (16.6.1) and still have the same issue. Went looking around in Device Manager and saw the High Definition Audio Bus had a conflict, but weirdly there was already an High Definition Audio Bus above it that had no conflict.

Firstly before we go any further, is it normal to have 2 High Definition Audio Bus and 1 Audio Controller in Device Manager? Is this because I have 2 GPU's?

Then I noticed a few strange things. When pulling up Crimson and looking at displays, it shows my Samsung TV is using DVI-D, which it's definitely not as its on HDMI from PC to TV.

Have a goosey, I'll have to put some of these under spoilers as they are a little big, and you need to read the text.

Anyway, decided to try and update the drivers manually,

But got this message

27449787161_b17e0c1be7_c.jpg



Decided to uninstall it and rebooted to see if that solved it

As you can see it's picked the Audio Bus up after reboot but it's in disabled mode. Manually tried to update the Audio Bus with the Audio Bus driver, installed fine but had the conflict exclamation mark again. Decided to uninstall it again, but this time uninstally the driver as well, rebooted and the got this

So now its not found the Audio Bus but has found another Controller. This is really starting to annoy me. I've tried removing driver, then DDU, then reinstalled but same thing. Actually question, when installed the AMD driver, you have the check boxes come up right - 1 for the driver, 1 for Vulkan, 1 for AMD Evolved, 1 for "High Definition Audio Driver" etc...well I need to have that "High Definition Audio Driver" ticked in the installer right? I've always as long as man has stood installed the AMD driver with that ticked, but just reading around on the web, seen plenty of people saying not to install it.

Any ideas please guys, this is really starting to pee me off.

Can you right click the Audi Device with a question mark and select enable?
 
Just to add, from my experience the memory clock only ramps up if the multiple displays are running different resolutions. Mine downclocks fine with 4 x 1920x1080 (2 different make/models) attached but it used to stay at 3D speeds when I had 3 x 1920x1080 screens and the fourth being a 1600x1200 or a 1920x1200 monitor.

Glad you got that sorted though Tony. :)

Correct Stu. If the displays and timings are identical, then the GPU may remain in 2D. It does also depend on the AIB GPU/Bios as well, some models have different MCLK states so that the GPU will ramp up, even with two identical displays running at the same resolution.
 
@AMDMatt what about the other cards WattMan support?

Is it happening? :/

Where the hell have 'additional settings' gone in these later drivers?

Im getting sick of installing the latest drivers then finding i have to go back to around 16.4.2 Crimson just to be able to get Gamma settings back..

Jesus Christ AMD!

No Gamma settings in there.. where the **** has the Display Colour? tab gone with the Gamma adjustment options???

Radeon Settings > Displays > Display Color.
 
I think I nearly bricked one of my Fury X's with an unstable / unwise / not good overclock I have 2x in CrossFireX I tried copying AMDMatt's settings +50 power slider, 1125 core / 545 memory with +36mv and it did not work out, I managed to get a RSOD on BF4 and booted to only one card (master) being recognized I re-flashed both bioses back to default and it fixed the problem...... whoops .... skating on thin ice, I think thats enough tweaking for me ... I'm bad at overclocking.

CPU or Memory overclocked? RSOD usually points towards that. Those OC settings might not be stable on all cards.
