The AMD Driver Thread

Nexus18 · 24 Nov 2015 at 17:38

I've played batman AK & ACS so far, can't say I really notice any improvement tbh but then I had them running nice and smooth before these drivers so...

It is AMD..... at times there is no logic to some of their decisions!

Have you tried DDU?

I bring your attention to these posts Shanks

Yeah.. I had it also mate but not all the time. Maybe Joe just thought it was fixed.

All am saying mate just wait for dice move next and go from there it might just be a game bug.

I hear ya Shanks, its just rather frustrating thats all. It was fine in beta, had perfect scaling and no problems hitting 144fps at full ultra. Having to play at 70fps is ok but I want the full experience.

Yeah I fully understand mate. My post is mostly aimed at the Graphics bug though.

Anyone else experiencing the compass at the bottom of the screen flickering in Fallout 4 with the Crimson driver?

Does it happen on Nvidia cards too?
Doesn't entirely narrow it down to being game related or not, but might be a good indication.

Doesn't fix "Horizontal flickering and image tearing in 2D (3 screens, R9 290x), 15.7 and up"

I've submitted a bug report but this thread seems to be getting no love on the AMD forum and it's not been acknowledge here either.

I'm now running Crimson and my FPS in Call of Pripyat sits at around 25 and my core clock doesn't go above 500 mhz.

Why do I bother

Sorry it should be Why do we bother.

Someone replied to Tony on guru3D and said his mate with 780ti has had it.
Am not going to start getting into amd vs nvidia all I am saying is amd have released a driver now let dice release a patch and see release notes.

Not bad, FS went from 20,795, to 20,842

Anyone not get all their games in the profile manager ?, as its only put 10 of mine in.

Also, anyone know where the Radeon Settings App is, as i like to have it on my Dock to select, but can't seem to find it, i found a Cnext APP, but not sure if thats it ?

You have msi afterburner? Make sure to restore default clocks If you do..

I have had that in the past. Reason for me is msi afterburner forgets the clocks speeds after new driver install and bugs out..

How do you enable the shader cache? I take it AMD Optimised is it?

They is amd option and just on or off. Not sure what amd optimise does over on though.

LoadsaMoney · 24 Nov 2015 at 18:48

In Global Settings, its just AMD Optimised, or off.

You've got to be an "enthusiast", by enthusiast I mean somebody that likes to drop top dollar on a card but not being able to play any of the latest releases with Crossfire enabled :mad:

Last time I dabbled with Crossfire it was poor, doesn't seem like things have changed too much.

LoadsaMoney · 24 Nov 2015 at 18:52

Found it for me dock, it is the CNext App.

Am sure I seen on, off and amd optimised? Maybe if you look inside profile.

Yeah in the actual profiles you can select from On, Off, or AMD Optimised, just not in the Global
