The AMD Driver Thread

It might be coincidence, but I've just checked my Windows 10 Insider power options, after seeing low GPU clocks and found it in "power saver" mode.

I never use that mode, usually "high performance" and sometimes "balanced."

But doesn't Freesync also mess with clocks, or am I getting confused with the Frame Rate Target Control?

I just checked and I'm on Balanced. I've never changed it before.
 
I went back to 15.11 beta, at least I've got my CCC panel back now :) .

I had one weird issue in Fallout 4 with Crimson, I'll try next version.

I get the black snow in SWBF and massive screen tearing in all games even though Im using Freesync with 290x and BENQ freesync monitor.

Did you manage to fix this? I got the same tearing in all games and video even though using Freesync. Went back to previous drivers and all working again
 
Woke the PC up from sleep and saw a super pixellated black/white box on the top left of my main screen. Moved the mouse and then realised... the pixellated box was the cursor. Moved it to the second monitor and that fixed it. Huh, it's been a very long time since I had a graphical glitch on the cursor.
 
in high performance the CPU never throttles speed and volts when on desktop though does it. I like having my chip drop to 1.6GHz when I'm just browsing.

Has anyone reported the core clocks bouncing up and down to AMD ?

Also, anyone without a Fury, also get the issue ?

I don't get it even with a Fury :/

Played Crysis 3 for a couple of hours last night and it never dropped below 970Mhz from the defalt 1000Mhz, it spent the majority of the time above 990.

Changing that setting to high performance stops cpu from down clocking when system is idle. Best to leave it on balanced if you want to save energy and money.

Mine's on high performance and the CPU downclocks to 1.6ghz on the desktop all the time.
 
Saying that, I do have a custom fan curve that keeps it below 60C, could be that?

It looks like, as mentioned earlier in this thread, the clks are going down instead of the fans going up when on auto.
 
Can anyone else not access their crossfire option? Clicking Radeon Additional Settings seems to do nothing, if I click the option loads of times, I get an exception error.

I have read a few review sites and none of them have mentioned having issues. I wonder how much testing they actually do?
Click to expand...

Can't be that thorough, as theres quite a few getting the clocks constantly up and down, even someone with a 390X also mentioned having it, so its not looking like just a Fury issue.
 
I'm only getting problems with GTA V. Massive frame drops and stutter.
At first i thought it was downclocking but gpu-z and hw64 show it staying locked at 1000.

btw Im running a single fury.

I don't really get this problem either. My fyry x clocks go up and down when they are not in 100% usage. But when they are, clocks sit at max all the time. What's wrong with saving power when fps is same?

15.11.1:

Crimson:

No difference, and gameplay feels same.
 
Well I have reverted back to 15.11.1 drivers as they at least have working power limits. No matter what I tried in the new drivers my fan would not go over 31% which caused excessive heat build up and massive core throttling and FPS issues.
