The AMD Driver Thread

[Boomstick777]

I think they mean to say - "Your drivers are nearly three months old. Surely there must be something new after so long?"

Haha

obviously AMD must be working hand in hand with Rockstar to release this driver specifically for GTA V on April 14th

You'd think

They'd only miss it by a few weeks.

For the length of time it's taking, there probably "IS" only one guy on the job.

Now I remember why I left ATI for the Green team.

It wouldn't be so bad if we could at least get some kind of communication on the subject...

If it's likely to be another month, say so.

It it's likely within a week, say so...

Is it delayed because of something really awesome, or is it because something went terribly wrong?

So we are likely to see better VSR support, and from someones posting of some externally sourced drivers, it looks like a frame rate limiter will now be built in.

But what else?

Maybe the driver team is on strike?

Pretty much this. One of the key services of a graphics card manufacturer is up to date drivers so that you get the most out of your card. If there is likely to be a delay between driver releases this should be communicated to the consumer. Not doing so only leads to confusion/frustration. Even if the ETA changes several times it is better than complete radio silence.

lol Boom and Greg...those pics could actually work both ways. As the customer, I feel exactly the same way.

There was a little survey on the AMD Drivers website last night.

There was a comments box at the end which I filled in, and said we need faster driver updates to support Crossfire in recently released games.

Might be worth doing the survey.

I gave them decent scores for most things, but rated them 3/5 overall for drivers.

That is the most exciting tumbleweed I think I've ever seen.

 

[maxzuk]

But why give them 3 out of 5 been waiting since October for the first crossfire driver for Elite, Nvidia have released loads. You pay good money for these cards and that should include driver support I'm completely done with this company.

 

[VincentHanna]

Well the drivers aren't bad are they? It was a question involving multiple answers out of 5 and then an overall 'how satisfied are you' out of 5

I think I gave them 2/5 on one about updates.

You know what I find truly hilarious about recent comments in this thread....

You have the Nvidia boys, up in arms about the 970 'lies' saying never again, I’m going AMD, then you've got the AMD boys, going 'where are my drivers', Nvidia are so much quicker etc...

No one is happy!

Should we just ALL go Intel, just to spite both AMD and Nvidia?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Im just waiting for everyone screaming about how crap they are, when they do eventually show up

 

[Finners]

of course we will after waiting this long! They will be the usual stability fixes with sub 10% improvements in very specific circumstances that none of us have and we've waited months.
