It'd be cool if we could choose what drivers we wanted in Crimson rather than there being like 1 option. So some sort of list of previous stable drivers, the current driver and the beta drivers.
I hope there is further development on 21:9 VSR, it's getting more popular and for good reason.

There's only one vsr upgrade for 21:9, Maybe that's why they haven't bothered getting around to it.
2560x1080,
3440x1440.
It would be good to have specially as you can buy a 144hz 2560x1080 VA freesync monitor. At 3440x1440 the best I've seen is 75hz IPS with freesync.
So getting the 2560 and being able to vsr to 3440 would be good. That way you do not need to rely on having the grunt for 3440 all the time.

You're onto something here! Another great option would be able to do "partial VSR", so instead of increasing to a predefined resolution you go to a resolution that is say 100% more pixels ( or ~40% increase in x and y directions ) than your current resolution. That way it would work for any resolution that would come in the future, like that 32:9 monitor Samsung is supposedly working on. Another benefit of this supposed "partial VSR" is you could increase by more or less depending on how powerful your GPU is.
The main reason I think 21:9 hasn't got VSR support is that 2560 x 1080 and 3440x1440 aren't actually 21:9, they're slightly more than that and not the same as each other.

Crimson 16.7.2 now WHQL'd.

Nothing has changed apart from going WHQL.

is there a reason why mipmap control was removed from the driver?

@amd Matt
I've been sticking to v16.3.2 WHQL on Win 7 Pro with Fury X as any newer drivers show slightly less score in 3DM benches consistently, any idea why?
Not had time to FRAPS test some games but plan to.

I just went back to 15.11 2 days ago as the Crimsons were just getting worse and worse with each update on my 7950.

@AMDMatt Any news on AMD putting 'Desktop color' back in Additional Settings in latest drivers?

I am getting irregular BSOD on driver set 16.7.2
Is this caused by drivers ??
I was super stable before hand....roll back?

As I replied to your other thread....
When was the last time you install drivers and how you did so?
Also when was the last time you format your system?
Video_TDR_FAILURE (116) is common issue with Nvidia cards when driver dlls are overlapping, not AMD cards.
Hence I would advice you, back up everything and do a clean windows installation.
Soldato
0x116 = Low IOH (NB) voltage, GPU issue (most common when running multi-GPU/overclocking GPU)
Put everything to stock and test again including cpu, memory and GPU. 116 is a overclocking bsod
Associate
thanks guys.
Panos - my system reinstalled Win 7 in January
The first BSOD was 20th July, a day or so after I installed 16.7.2, but it also coincided with 33 degree heat that day, so I could forgive that one.
I did what I usually do, just over installed (yeah some might say not to).
Shankley1985 - hello, my GPU is not over clocked, it comes factory over clocked by Sapphire (its the Tri - X - OC 290) OC = over clocked
Hmm.. 116 is a "generic" Over clocking error?
perhaps something is degrading?
In any event, I uninstalled and used DDU and went back to 16.6.1 fingers crossed stability returns.

116 most the time is a bsod when voltage is to low on CPU, but it can also trigger when GPU is pushed to far.
For testing I would remove that 4.4 overclock and put back to stock or just back off a little bit to say 4.2 and test.

Any ROTR comparisons yet? 10% is nothing to sniff at and it's one of the few DX12 games which the 1060 was faster in.
