The AMD Driver Thread

I think it will be next week also.

Given its an AMD window.
It'll be the last days of December or early January

Ever the optimist.

Osd including Freesync information, Freesync added to application profiles.
More control over audio when recording or streaming.
Performance increases

Think I've experienced those from the 5870 when I first used display port

My V64 definitely doesn't like the latest Crimson update, I kept getting black screens with the fan going 100% randomly, Only a hard reset would cure it, Went back to the prior driver and that problem is gone.

Makes me think it was a voltage issue though as it would never happen during games or anything that used the GPU itself so maybe idle voltage would drop too low perhaps ?

Im on the 17.11.2s still, and had that while watching the James Prior Q&A video the other week, and ive just had one there while browsing imgur, wasn't Black this time though, was dark Green, never had it while gaming either.

I've lost my HDMI audio output today. It won't show up in Windows. Last night my PC did the Fall Creators Update so I am assuming it is related to that. Should I just reinstall the driver?

roll back the creators update and then postpone it for a year.

that update stopped one of my games from working. got rid of it and the game plays fine.

Nasher · 8 Dec 2017 at 13:00

The update seems ok for me, but I swear performance has dropped slightly. Might just be me.

LoadsaMoney · 8 Dec 2017 at 18:47

Had another dark Green screen there with 100% GPU load, needing a hard restart, while browsing the Daily Mail website, so turned off Use Hardware Acceleration in FF, see if that helps, as only had them while webbing.

December the 12th then

Ryan slip up here?

There is going to be some limited fps uplift here and there but nothing too major, Ryan's comments:

there are people that I saw in the comments on this video and in our post talking about 'oh finally we are gonna get the huge vega performance increase'. I hate, eh, let me just settle everybody down here: that's not going to happen. There's not a 20% increase in GPU performance that's happening with this. This is much more about features and capabilities, and UI elements, and making everything easier to use.

Will there ever be a permanent fix regarding bsod with the atikmpag.sys driver? Ive done all the temp fixes that Ive found by Googling, but no matter what driver version Im using Im still having crashes.

I would start testing other hardware. BSOD mostly happen by failing memory so I would run some memory tests.

Everytime I get the bsod i check and it always comes back to atikmpag.sys. I have done memory tests but admittedly just the basic Windows one.

I'll try a full check and see how it goes. Thanks for the reply & advice !!

Yeah from my experience a BSOD doesn't always point to the correct driver. Or I should say the correct Hardware.

RAM that fails will crash upon when a application reads/writes to that part of the stick it just so happens the GPU driver is always doing just that.

I have had RAM show storage has the reason for BSOD, even network driver.
I would download and run from a USB MEMTEST64 over night let it do a good number of full passes.
