The AMD Driver Thread

please tell me The Division crossfire profile has been fixed...please

Edit

OMG just read the notes, where's the banging head against a brick wall smilie. This will have to do. :mad::mad::mad:

Get your **** together AMD, still a known issue, and do they ever release crossfire profiles for new games these days that doesn't come with a known issue of may experience flicker. Jesus give me strength.

Known Issues
A few game titles may fail to launch or crash if the AMD Gaming Evolved overlay is enabled. A temporary workaround is to disable the AMD Gaming Evolved "In Game Overlay"
FFXIV can experience black screen or application hang
The Division may experience flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
League of Legends® may experience some graphical corruption on characters death animation in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
Rift® may experience a hang when playing with FRTC and V-Sync enabled. As a work around users are suggested to disable V-Sync.
Plants vs Zombies™: Garden Warfare 2 may experience some flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode.
Power efficiency toggle in Radeon™ Settings is showing up for some unsupported products.
Hitman™ may experience poor AMD Crossfire™ scaling when "Super Sampling" is set to 1.5x.
Need for Speed™ may experience poor scaling or flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode.

I take it you're not very happy then ;)

It looks like "flickering in AMD Crossfire™ mode" seems to be a common problem.

I'm so sorry for anybody who has Crossfire ATM, it would completely boil my ****, I've used it in the past but vowed that I'd never ever use anything but a "single card" after that.

I'm never happy with AMD anymore to be perfectly honest. Last cards I'll own from them, all Nvidia and single card from here onwards.

And yep, just tested The Division, Crossfire still flickering. Thanks AMD for making me believe the hype surrounding your incredible performance when running with the power of crossfire, thanks to you I've a £300 GPU I use in my rig as decoration, but what do you care huh.

And heres another piece of fantastic work by AMD, unable to now disable crossfire via each games profile for the games that dont work with crossfire...So now I have to keep on enabling and disabling the global crossfire settting depending on what game I play.

Is it so ******* hard AMD..you should come with the tag "Cant Get Right"

Well that's apples to oranges as you are not switching from CF to SLI which come with issues as well with SLI profiles have bugs.

If the AMD single GPU is giving you grief then your point would be more logical.
 
Tbh Tony to be fair towards Amd. What exactly makes you think this is all AMDs fault?
If amd put out a statement saying working with the developer on resolving this what does that tell you?

I have said this countless times its very easy to point the finger at drivers when they is more work than just AMD going on here.

They hasn't even been a single patch for the division yet, they released a 600mb for language and that's it. Maybe just maybe this fix will come in a game patch? For now your frustration should be towards ubisoft also.

Tony sell them cards off and get ya self a Fury/980ti, it stresses me out just hearing how much stress them cards are giving you.
 
I run 3 x Dell 2407 (multimonitor) withy my FuryX and 16.3.1 are completely broken for desktop work.

I normally RDP into my laptop and put that on 1 monitor fullscreen, this now seems to causes all sorts of problem. Monitors flash and the focus seems to be broken, RDP fullscreen seems to be borked and taskbars seem to crash and restart etc.

These drivers might be OK for games but they are a complete fail in terms of desktop/productivity/multimonitor support.


<edit, problem seems to be with latest insider preview on Win10, rolled back to earlier version and now OK>

Freesync working on tomb raider steam version here when running dx12.
Like with mantle, DirectX12 will need more time for the devs to work on Multi-GPU.. Give it time guys
Click to expand...

I haven't currently got freesync or 2 gpu's but from what I've read they work fine in W10 and DX12, The only place with issues is the Windows store.

I've found no reason not to move to Win 10 from Win 7. You can lock them out in the settings if you do not like how they install updates etc and after Win 8 it's a god send, A lot closer to Win 7 than 8.1 was.
Overall I have no complaints with it and as the dev's get used to using DX12 it's got that on it's side. Currently ther are no DX12 titles worthy of the title but I'm sure that will change and when it does you'll be missing out on whatever's on offer.

If it was me I wouldn't touch a Fury because of the ram, At the moment the best AMD card to get is the Grenada based ones.
Nvidia supported games are pushing the ram over 4 gb's too knock Fury down a peg or two and make sure they have the image of being a rung lower than the Ti and Tx, basically putting them alongside the other 4 gb cards. They may be faster than the 980 but being unable to use the same settings as the Ti makes them come across as being one step back. Smart move by Nvidia. Sucks for those of us with Fiji based cards.
 
Makes me wonder if he's NVIDIA sponsored, to make as much bad PR as he can in threads like these :D

I too echo others suggestions - either run 1x390, upgrade to a 390X, or sell them both for a 980ti. Crossfire support is terrible, we all know that.
 
Sponsored by Nvidia lol brilliant.

The thing that annoys me, crossfire a year ago was fantastic, it's been excellent back when I was using 7950 crossfire and was excellent for a spell on these 390's. But of late the support for crossfire has been as bad as I've ever known it. And at a time when AMD are harping on about MGPU setups and DX12 being great for mgpu. There's no single card out there that can run higher resolutions maxed out graphically that'll give us upwards of 60fps. We've these fantastic 144hz freesync/gsync screens at 1440p that the only way of reaching the real high frames is to run MGPU or turn down all eye candy to medium or low. Crossfire/sli now to me has become one gigantic hyperbole from both camps, they should both just stop talking it up if they can't support it with game devs.

Ubisoft came and made this game and said it was going to have excellent pc performance and mgpu was supported to really push this game at 4k. Well to me that means AMD have dropped the ball again with the latest f driver. This is the very same flicker we see in a lot of other games when crossfire is enabled, this isn't a Ubi issue, this is an AMD driver issue. Say what you want, I bought these cards to use both cards and have a problem free experience, not what I get anymore from them.

So like you all say, last time I'll go mgpu, and the last time I'll go AMD.
 
Multi-GPU they are harping on about though, isn't Xfire, its using 2x seperate cards together, just like how now you can run a Nvidia card with an AMD one to get a boost in performance, and when using 2 cards the same, the memorys not shared/mirrored (whatever it is) like Xfire (i think), so if you have 2x 390 8GBs together, you won't still have 8GB vram, you'll have 16.

Its probably why Xfire supports nosedived, as Dx12 does away with it, and they see everyone on Win 10/DX12 using multi seperates.

Titan X?
 
With the latest games at 2560x1440 and max settings, you will be lucky to hold a consistent 60 fps let alone any higher.

Honestly though Tony, I wouldn't rule out AMD for single GPU as drivers are more than fine when it comes to that.

Not on latest games nope.

And i meant 100fps and up not 60fps, mind was elsewhere.....to really hit the higher fps on the 144hz freesync and gsync monitors, we really need crossfire or sli to do that. Might be able to achieve it running low details but who wants that on pc with super expensive gpu's lol.

Same here, 1x EVGA Pascal card is where I'm going.

Though I do feel you should stop ranting and raving in this thread every 5 minutes, we know crossfire and AMD drivers are pretty bad lately, it's not news anymore.

If you'd done a bit of research into 290X crossfire before buying your 390 cards, you'd have known this too. No-one to blame but yourself I'm afraid.
