The AMD Driver Thread

1. 16.12.1
2. BenQ XL2730Z - DisplayPort
3. Latest Windows 10 Build
4. R9 290
5. Just enable or disable within the Driver, monitor only has OSD info Freesync on or Off

The difference here would be the connection method(well monitor to). I have a spare 290 as well where the issue happens. It also is further backed up by the number of posts around the net with similar issues all connecting through HDMI but i cannot find any where the monitor is connect through DP. Atleast it removes a worry i have about a new monitor im looking at.
 
In that case i would like to know a few things. To help narrowing this down.

1) What driver version are you using?
2) What monitor are you using and how is it connected?
3) windows version and if its pre or post AU update.
4) What GPU are you using?
5) Is there anything besides enabling Freesync(radeon settings and the monitor OSD) that you have to do to get it to work in the games you play?



Thanks for sharing.. I havent come across anyone else with the same issue as i have unless they are using HDMI so i wouldnt be surprised if Displayport is working as intended.

Fury + Asus MG279Q using Display Port here, I have Freesync problems (not working at all in some games, working just fine in others).

Well there goes my theory then.. So its not the connection method, its not the OS itself or updates it seems. Only thing left is other hardware interfering or specific bios settings but i feel the last one is a bit of a long shot and extremely difficult to check for.
 
Agreed,

I don't use software like Afterburner and Relive is running great.

Regarding someone else's Freesync issues, I haven't got The Division to test but Fallout 4 seems to be fine, I'm using a displayport connection with a Fury pro & 1440 ultrawide monitor.

Ive never used Afterburner since i got my Furys, i just use the RTSS for displaying the info, temps etc..., and to cap my frames. :p
 
Sorry guys,but what am I missing I cant see the target temperature or target fan speed setting in my wattman...I just have one section which lets be change the constant fan speed....I have a 390....
 
I cam on here to have a moan about the latest driver - lol

I have an RX 480 and have had lots of crashes, alt tabbing, in game (WOT) I just had a complete freeze then screen went black and recovered, then some message about Wattman

Previous was completely stable

So rollback time for me ......

Same issue here, also on a 390. See my earlier post for link to a thread on the amd forums with a couple of others reporting the same on 3xx series cards.
 
So trying to use AMDs new built in recording software Relive...

And first of all, most of the games I run are window (borderless) and it seems I can only record these if I enable desktop recording, which means I record everything on my desktop?

I don't have this issue with Window 10s DVR or Raptr?

I updated my drivers specifically for it...

AND had my first video lockup in many many months! Wish I hadn't bothered now :(

Back to using the Windows 10 DVR, and hoping the video lock up was a one off!
