The AMD Driver Thread

What Shankly said was right though. It's not guaranteed to have low clocks when two monitors are connected. The default behaviour is to raise the memory clocks. See AMD MAtt's post above.

I told him to do what he said he was going to do. There was no call for him to call Shankly stupid and rude. He didn't come in here looking for help, he came in to rant and rave and then take out his frustrations on people trying to help him.

As I said, I put the rant down to frustration, I'm sure we've all been there.

Shankly said
It's a matter of a fact your wrong on this one sorry don't take it personal

But then MyBrains (and others) have shown that he wasn't wrong. How can Shankly saying it won't and didn't run at 300/150 be right when people are showing that it can and does in some scenarios?

Remember there were at least a couple of people here telling him he was wrong, that it was impossible for it to behave the way it did (and now does again) and that he was just remembering it wrong. On top of the problem he had that was getting him annoyed that can't have been helping, so maybe he didn't react in the calmest manner. Suggesting things to try is one thing, telling him it can't be done isn't helping. In this case it was also wrong.

At least Shankly is big enough to admit that he was wrong.
 
I just updated my driver for the first time since upgrading to Windows 10 and I typically only install the display driver, but now Windows Update is nagging me about the amd audio driver too. Isnt there a way to ignore/hide updates?

After the driver update I also had a strange issue where the gpu would not cool down to it's normal idle temp after watching a video. It remained at 50c despite closing firefox and everything else. Only a restart cleared the issue.

Use DDU to completely remove the driver and try re-installing.

The AMD audio can be disabled in Device Manager if you don't use it or don't install it when you are installing the Crimson drivers.
 
Thanks. Didn't even think to disable it in device manager. I disabled a High Definition Audio Device which isn't my Realtek and I still have sound so assume it's the right one :D

I think the temp issue may have been down to Afterburner which was installed long before my OS upgrade. I've clean installed the latest version so will see if the issue recurs.

Still rocking the 16.3s here :D

Same here (well, 16.3.2s). Tempted to update though.
Previously had issues after upgrading but tempted to go the DDU route and see if that helps.

Just not quite sure if I'd actually gain anything from the upgrade.
Anyone know what the big differences are between 16.3.2 and 16.7.3 to save me looking through all the patch notes for every update between the 2?
