The AMD Driver Thread

This is mine, it sticks each start up but I have just remembered I had to manually input the speed of 1700 for it too remain at 1300 = 30% fan speed
I liked the older fan control by percentage cant we have that back ? lol

I don't seem to have Wattman. Did I have to select to install the ****y ReLive bloat?

i thought that but then I maximise window and there it was hiding.
Don't like the % over clock and that you have to set oc on both gpus annoying when one gpu has a factory oc

I wish they'd never included overclocking software with the drivers, It's just asking for problems. Do Nvidia do something similar?

You don't have to unlock it or use it.

You not forces to use it, plus the fact you must agree with the terms of use before it even lets you.

Overdrive was part of drivers for ages

I don't use it, but that didn't stop it breaking the auto fan on my Fury, It did it before we moved to Wattman where the auto on or off button was missing for Fiji cards and it was like it for about 6 weeks it's just done it again with the current drivers non whql version, Thankfully it seems to have been fixed in the WHQL driver so it wasn't broke for long this time, I just think that overcomplicating the driver package by adding an overclocking tool is asking for trouble, I run my gpu at stock and only overclock once in a blue moon when I do a bench for a thread here at OCUK and I do that by turning Afterburner on for 20 minutes so I can volt and clock the core. I don't like how wattman is set out so I don't use it.

nashathedog · 13 Feb 2017 at 20:07

This is what you have to agree too and as you can see it's still locked because I don't use it.

Fix for freesync fullscreen now time too test some ubisoft games again.

Matt, I really dig Wattman but it keeps losing my settings even after a fresh install and DDU.

Any chance someone can have a look at it and a possible fix in the future? Thanks

If you DDU you will loose all your settings, if you update using the built-in updater your settings should remain. I only loose my settings if I do a complete clean of driver.

Sorry, Matt recommended this action. Loses them after I set them up again (and yes I hit Apply

)

Tbf AB also did it which is just plain weird (but it's easy just to save the profile and load it when I load Windows)

Currently trying Trixx...

does it work?

LtMatt · 14 Feb 2017 at 12:40

Not had any similar reports Si, wondering if MSI AB messed up your system somehow. The fan settings don't save for me, but everything else does.

JediFragger · 14 Feb 2017 at 12:55

Ok Matt thanks. Probably AB's fault but Trixx is being fine at the moment so that's something.

Hurray. Freesync is now working on both watch dogs 2 and rainbow six siege.

The difference is night and day.

prjwebb · 14 Feb 2017 at 13:11

Yep. now working in The Division for me too.

Great news.

prjwebb · 14 Feb 2017 at 15:16

Hmm seems like it's stopped Relive working in the Division though.
