The AMD Driver Thread

Thanks for the response. Do you know if this fix will include stopping the game from crashing?

In additional to the terrible performance, I had to launch Doom many times before I can get past the intro screens. Once I'm ingame, I crash to desktop within 5 minutes usually.

I don't get any crashes and my card us only slightly above a 390x. There's a big chance its related in fact it sounds like a memory leak issue.
 
Just sold my 295x2, and feels like a massive weight off my shoulders. Doubt i will ever trust AMD with my money again.

Don't get me wrong, i HATE what Nvidia do with GameWorks, but my new 1080 can't be a worse experience than the 295X2

Crashes to desktop, lack of day one drivers, lack of crossfire support, terrible overclocking.

Sick of the list of things that are NOT being fixed in the driver notes, being longer than the things actually fixed

Slight Pump noise, coil whine, VR performance is lacking vs a similar price Nvidia product, driver issues, crashes to desktop.

I've felt all this before when i purchased the 8500 and knew instantly id spent my money on the wrong product.

Still we can't get it right everytime i suppose.
 
Not like bad drivers are just on the AMD side. This is pretty much exactly the opposite to quantum break (AMD is fine there, Nvidia is not, and suffers driver crashing). Just for whatever reason, quantum break is written off as bad game, while doom is AMD's fault.

Nvidia still hasn't gotten round to fixing velocity 2x & windows 10 either (crashes on level 9, only on nvidia) or double dragon neon.

Just trading one set of driver issues for another if it's just driver bugs etc making you want to switch.

"Double Dragon Neon" :confused::confused::confused:

Your comparing a massive AAA game like Doom to some obscure game that no-one's ever heard of?

Just going to ignore quantum break then? That's AAA, runs worse on nvidia and suffers frequent driver crashes, I guess that won't count though, because it's win10 store only.

And indie games are now obscure and shouldn't be considered.

But alright, have another. Ryse son of rome, AAA, bugged on maxell and doesn't seem to utlise the card properly, resulting in low fps.

Guessing that won't count either, or is the games fault and not Nvidia's.

None of the games you mentioned as are big/popular as Doom, hence the reason AMD actually had Doom drivers released a day or two before Doom released. It's just unfortunate that there was a massive bug in them, for 290/390 cards.
 
Woot, new drivers are up!

16.5.2.1 Release Notes

Performance increase by up to 35% on AMD Radeon R9 390 series products in Doom™ versus Radeon Software Crimson Edition 16.5.2

Good job AMD :)

The improvement is real. Max settings along with the two nightmare graphical options on a 390x here. Haven't dropped below 60 fps in any of the problem areas. [/quote]

Yeah I was having a really annoying issue where I would get drops to 30FPS cause of v-sync problem. That seems to be fixed now.

Today's driver both have v-sync on

That's great. You're getting twice the fps as before :eek: now you can enjoy the game and not bother even looking at that pesky fps timer
 
I'm impressed with the doom update driver! Only thing is now I'm getting the weird CTD without any errors... like I'm hitting alt F4 or something lol. On 16.5.2 I could play for hours and never crash, today with new driver it's about every 20 minutes :(
