The AMD Driver Thread

Pointless me saying this but I do hope we get a crossfire driver for Battlefront next week.

As already said, the beta already had crossfire support

Awesome, saw this bubble up on guru & now confirmed cheers!

New driver says it has performance optimisations for Fallout 4 but sadly still no crossfire profile. Any timescales when that is due Matt?

Probably not till they sort the games engine out to better support multi GPUs. Far as am aware even sli isn't working.

I've read that the crisis Profile works to a certain extent. Maybe give that a go? My guess would be with the new update on the 24th.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Guys I can confirm my xfire seems to be working with the new beta drivers!

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Just put god rays back on and no noticeable performance drop like before, I can't find a specific fallout 4 profile but whatever they have set it to seems to be working!

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Nice one Tom

Splosh!

Highlights of AMD Crimson™ 50.12 Beta Windows Driver

Known Issues:

[59475] Elite: Dangerous - poor performance may be experienced in SuperCruise mode

Anyone had problems installing these? Just sits at checking hardware or something for ever.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

False alarm, not using my other card at all just confirmed with afterburner however is running MUCH better with a single card,

going to try with the crysis 3 profile now just to get a bit of scaling

 

[Tom|Nbk]

It uses both GPU with the Crysis3 profile but still seems to run better with just a single card

at least it is something for now! will disable xfire....

Can confirm much better on single card ... for now

 

[muziqaz]

I wonder if any of review sites do quick tests with new drivers.

 

[Tom|Nbk]

Quick conclusion before bed :

MUCH better with a single card, even enabled god rays and seems to be fine...

Running with xfire enabled it doesn't use the second card at all

Running with Crysis 3 profile seems to actually run a bit worse than with just xfire disabled with this card..

So seems once they get the xfire profile out they will have it nailed, until then these are nice optimisations in my eyes to keep me until the profiles come out.
