They never was gamma under display to begin with?

Yea, was a long time ago, was the first thing they removed before they got rid of the other sliders.

Expect to see an MSIAB update soon I reckon. Normally happens around same time as new gpu launches.

Yea hope its soon, seems like its just the overclocking not working, OSD and Fan Control look to be working fine with other things, guess i can live with 1306 Core Clock for a bit, missing that 1400 OC lol

Relive now supports up to 20mbps streaming

Haven't downloaded it yet, but spotted this on Reddit. :cool:

I don't understand the purpose of that anyway. With a good display and its controls as well as a good calibrating puck you wouldn't need any of that.

Fishbait · 27 Jul 2017 at 02:05

Find it easier to use that than it is to figure out my screwy monitors tiny buttons/ui layout hehe.

Odd, installed, also done a clean install. Enhanced sync not visible, no colour/saturation bars. Also Relive has completely vanished. :eek:

RX480 win7 version.

Trying a fresh DL to see what's what.

Installed again, still missing

It can help get better colours than what your Monitor can sometimes provide options wise. Driver does give a much better fine tuning.

Odd, seems it's not just me, but others missing Relive.

Guess they forgot to put it in the install package? Same for both AMD & Guru3D DLs.

Dont worry, tested RX 480 in Dirt Rally and DayZ and didnt see any difference, stutters like **** with Enhanced on and Vsync off in both games above 75fps on my 75hz FreeSync monitor.

Maybe it only works on a single monitor setup, i have 3. (< sarcasm)

Also, they didnt bring back the Gamma setting, what a fail

These broke my MSI Afterburner too.

If enhanced sync works like fast sync you need a framerate that is >2xrefresh rate of your monitor for it to work correctly (3 times is even better). Really wish AMD would stop touting these features as universal until they actually support them on all of their hardware.

Looks like the Windows 7 installer is missing ReLive and possibly some other stuff. I think the Windows 10 installer is fine.

Was wondering if there was a difference between the three versions, may give it a shot.
Also curious if the 5** versions would work too.

Saw on AMD forums & Reddit that DOOM has problems too, so gave it a shot.
Audio is crackly in Vulkan & Opengl & Vulkan takes a really long time to load now.

There's been a lot of "optional" releases since the last official one, there are clearly still issues to be ironed out, so I'm holding off despite wanting to try Enhanced Sync with some super-old games.

That makes sense, I'm just one of those that is determined to make things work hehe.

I thought it was the other way? CPU, GPU, GPU driver, Display and last to interact mouse.

I guess the mouse is first as that is what dictates what will be rendered on screen depending on where you move the mouse to look?

V F · 27 Jul 2017 at 10:12

I guess it is both ways. Look at games, for a moment you may not interact but something else happens causing you to interact. That is if you haven't been killed by someone with a lower ping.

I know what I want.... but can I really spend £500 on a GPU? Money isn't the issue, it's just £500 is a lot for a leisure activity.

My comfort zone used to be around £330.

I'm planning an upgrade to 1400p 144hz monitor. No GPU at £300 - £350 is gonna cut the mustard at 1400p?

I badly need a new monitor. Current monitor is holding back my current system. I upgraded to a 1700 from a 3570k and now it's too fast for the monitor.

My RX 480 is fine but probably not for more demanding games at higher settings. Buying any GPU except the 1080 and 1080 Ti right now is probably a bad move due to inflated prices.
