The AMD Driver Thread

I see one person coming in to get defensive about Nvidia....

The thing is, I was playing it non stop on a Fury X, a Titan X and a 970 and not once did I have any issues. The Hairworks ran well on the FX as well, so whilst you go off on your tangents and mass wordages, I will stick to the facts and had no problem on any of my GPUs/System. At least I am happy to switch between the 2 but when I mention not having problems, I guess that makes me defensive :o

Greg, you of all people have no say in matter concerning game playability :D
Whenever masses of nvidia and amd owners are having issues with certain game, you come up and say that you have no issues with that game :P
So your extreme luck prohibits expressing yourself in the matter of game bugs :D

Though I must admit I am similar person on AMD side. I would need to think long and hard to remember any issues I had with games or experience altogether on AMD hardware :D

My say is as valid as anyone else's and I have been building computers since the early 90's. I generally know what I am doing and can pretty much trouble shoot with little help except the odd problem. There has been 2 games that have caused me massssssssive annoyances and they are BF3 and BF4 with constant crashes and no matter what I would do or try, I couldn't get round it but dice would patch it, run fine for me till the next patch and they break it :D
 
To be fair gregster, you have Fury X and Titan X and you say Batman runs very well for you. Yet a sizeable portion of the internet says otherwise :p

Well again, 200 hours played on that and apart from "missing effects" on the FX and Nvidia, no problems. No crashes at all but I did get unexplained frame drops and I still do but not a game breaker.

Anyone else getting a corrupt mouse point after installing 15.4.1 on Windows 10? I then removed, using uninstall and also running DDU and updated to the most recent driver. I used this driver to stop the issues with Elite Dangerous but have stopped playing that now as I got bored. I am left with an issue where after a day or less of being on, my mouse pointer will become corrupted and difficult to see what is being selected.

What is your point, you not having problems doesn't mean the drivers didn't cause problems. Again this is the point, you say you didn't have problems and thus you decide that Nvidia releasing multiple driver revisions to fix other peoples problems never happened.

You're saying you state fact in a way that you're implying that because you didn't have problems the drivers Nvidia released weren't a problem. There is proof everywhere of basically all of the problems you feel the need to say never existed and you and the group of what 5-6 Nvidia guys always post the same thing. YOu also go into any thread that mentions anything remotely Nvidia and start agreeing with each other as if that is proof you're all correct about something.

Nvidia plainly contradict your stance, there wouldn't be multiple drivers unless there was a need for them, which indicates a problem with the drivers. Likewise Nvidia flat out said they had a problem with Kelper performance... but again you'll ignore that and say you didn't have a problem and imply no one else did.

The massive majority of driver problems effect an extreme minority of users. Witcher 3 drivers was a very clear and obvious huge swing into effecting a much much larger portion of users than normal and caused not just glitches but crashing. Every driver set will have problems on some hardware combinations, some software incompatibility somewhere, that is life. When there is a massive increase in problems it is also fairly clear, as it was with Witcher 3.

Anyone know if its ok just installing new drivers on top of the old ones, or do you have to do all that uninstall safe mode shenanigans?

I don't know why people think it's a must do requirement, I never do.
I'm another AMD user who installs straight on top, I don't use driver cleaners or un-install old drivers first and I don't seem to have any problems, I've never uninstalled drivers except when changing from Nvidia to AMD or AMD to Nvidia.

After reading this post I thought I'd give it a try so I downloaded the Trixx with voltage control and made three attempts at Firestrike with the following settings,

Try 1,

power limit +50,
core clock 1126 mhz,
voltage +26,
memory untouched.

Try 2,

power limit +50,
core clock 1126 mhz,
voltage +40,
memory untouched.

Try 3,

power limit +50,
core clock 1126 mhz,
voltage +53,
memory untouched.

Every attempt failed. Funnily enough I can run Firestrike with a core clock of 1100 anyway so I was adding a meagre 26 mhz. http://www.3dmark.com/fs/5681651 I was being conservative because I'm not experienced with voltage control. Is there anything wrong with the changes I made?

After that I put it all back to stock where it will stay, I run at stock anyway I just wanted to try it out.

Funnily enough It's 2 months since I last ran Firestrike and I wanted to check it wasn't that crashing so I ran it at stock clocks and it ran fine, Although I lost 300 points in an apples to apples comparison with the older drivers :(

It does make me feel like AMD have lied to us and are treating us like idiots just for quick sales.
Are they really stooping that low?
It's a sad time.
