The AMD Driver Thread

I've had my two 290xs for a fortnight now, and I honestly cannot complain about crossfire drivers.

With that said, I've been extremely busy so I haven't gamed a lot, and the newest game I've played is DA:I, which I know is particularly well-optimised for AMD cards. But even older stuff which I'd heard was extremely problematic was running flawlessly for me, Witcher 2, Dark Souls II, AC:IV. 60 FPS constantly at 3200x1800 :P
 
It'll either be due to them not being able to do it properly or saving features like that as selling points for new cards. With it being AMD I'd bet it's to do with the former.

VSR will not be introduced to the HD 7000 Series.

They lack the correct display controllers. This piece of silicon on the graphics chip interfaces with the graphics die and the monitor. Older AMD Radeon GPUs are not capable of executing highly dynamic refresh rate adjustments in their display controller.

Come on amd, at least tell us what the delay is all about.

If it's something awesome, shout it from the roof tops.

Mind you, I'm suddenly not sure why I care. Had one day off since 23rd feb, and did an 85 hour week last week, and this week not shaping up well, so god knows when I can use them anyway.

Does VSR play well with anyone else? I seem to try and use it, and frame rates drop loads.

What am i doing wrong?

It plays very well for me, but you must take into account the higher resolution and if you have any AA applied which may just be too much for a single card in some games.

I now know why.. I totally forgot to town down the settings a little. Turned AA down and it's fine now. Cheers.

I'm going to stay at 1080p, i can't even see a difference!

From the Q&A thread


1. Will the driver on the 19th be on time and will it be BETA or WHQL?
Yes, this driver has been scheduled for some time. The 19th is a firm date.

This will be a non-WHQL as with many of our recent postings, but rest-assured, this driver will have received an extensive amount of testing by the time it gets posted.
