Fullscreen Games.

Press Alt+Z to bring up perfomance monitoring.

After not being able to get this working yesterday, including Alt+R, I had another go this morning.

I "reset" one or two of the AMD Control Panel options, not that I had changed much, and hey presto it now works!

I can give this a test tonight, I'll leave my PC on over night and turn off the monitor. I use same benQ.

No, I didn't have any issue with turning my monitor on and off with the Adrenalin drivers.

thanks

EDIT: Seems it could be hit and miss, as i just forgot again there, and switched the bugger off

, but luckily, it came straight back on

Time for a 'DO NOT SWITCH OFF' Post-It note i reckon

Did you try turning off AMD cache thing in that games profile?
Had a similar problem with DOOM on a previous driver & that "fixed" it for me.

I didnt knowingly have HBCC on

Run DDU and go back to 17.11.1. Bet you don't have any monitor issues if you do.

I just tried the Adrenalin drivers again and they are so buggy. Can't run 3D mark without crashing. Lower performance, crashes in games whenever I try to change settings. But, on 17.11.1 everything is rock solid.

Ree · 14 Dec 2017 at 17:52

any way to fade the black box on the overlay? would be better if it was just the information with no box imo.

chaosophy · 14 Dec 2017 at 17:53

Tried these again and still no luck, big perf drop in Superposition and PUBG test server still, though weirdly Valley seemed fine.
Not really tested much else as don't have the time to play around and mainly playing PUBG at the moment.
Oddly though, when testing the card seemed to report slightly higher clocks and lower temps than normal. :confused:

So back to 17.11.4 again for me, which have been fine apart from rare random black/grey screens when watching youtube/twitch. :/

I had no probs with my previous driver, the 17.11.2s.

i was frustrated the monitoring wouldnt display inside the game i was playing and it eneded up being because i was playing on windowed fullscreen mode. i play all my games in that mode.

nashathedog · 14 Dec 2017 at 20:41

Is anyone else with Polaris having issues with Adrenalin's stability? I've had several Radeon software crashes when I've tried to turn the screen display data on in a few different games, I've just done a ddu and driver refit to try again.

I wonder if that's my issue, I tend to put games in fullscreen usually but it's highly likely some may be windowed as I don't pay that much attention to it. Was the software crashing for you too?

I've also seen a huge drop in superposition score. Down from 4966 to 4408 even with higher clock speeds.

I get that too with Vega....obviously another driver bug :rolleyes:

I was getting the crashes also, another reason i went back to RTSS for displaying them, it just seems hit and miss.
