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

Pity, Do you both send AMD bug info? I forgot so I'm going to go do it now

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?

nah, never had the software crash it just wouldnt show the OSD

@LoadsaMoney Monitor switched on first time. In fact both did.

If anyone finds the performance metric overlay crashes in some games, try bringing it up using Alt+R (Radeon Overlay) and toggle the feature on. We are looking into a bug that triggers the crash in some games, it may be related to enabling the performance metric overlay via a hotkey.

Try downloading the latest firmware for the monitor from the Samsung website. It's on version 1016.2 now.

Yea, I have upgraded to the latest firmware.

Sorry I did forget. Display Pilot shows what my current refresh rate is running at when I load up a game.

Thanks, man.

In Mafia 3 try this, it's what works for me......when in the game turn off your monitor then turn it back on.......initially I'm on 60Hz then once I turn the monitor off then on I'm on 144Hz....this is on Asus MG279Q with DP connection.

Both of this games i can get 144hz only with windows mode, but if use windows mode the Freesync will not work and this games can not play with borderless mode.
I will try it, thanks.

When I enable the instant replay feature, it absolutely murders a few of my games performance. Well, I say performance, stutters and hitches all the time would be more accurate, but the fps meter still showing 100+fps. Turn it off and games are fine again. The main ones for this are Forza 7 and FH3, so maybe a Windows thing.

17.10.3 running nice and stable for me

Give it a few months and maybe these new drivers will be stable

stop being a hater all the time...Reason why your ancient driver is still good, is because of your ancient rig, they go hand in hand

These latest ones are great for gaming, few of the functions don't work at all for me, like the phone app and the instant replay feature, but as performance and stability goes, they've been bloody brilliant so far.

Stability = heaven

AMD just need to get 2 people working on the drivers instead of one, poor matt must be having his balls busted

^ I wish i had the technical knowledge to debug/write display drivers.

Just get big Lisa to hire a few more to help you out

Relive is now much better than before, just don't notice it running.

@AMDMatt has anything been reported about resi 7 and the Osd making frame rate micro stuttering?
Only game I have ex this so far.

LtMatt · 15 Dec 2017 at 10:54

We have a fix in place for some of the initial issues reported, that may be one of them Shanks.

I imagine the way it acts when no display appears changes from game to game. Mine didn't crash every time but it did more often than not.

finally figured out why the AMD link app wasn't working with my phone even though it was finding my PC......ESET Internet security Firewall DOH!!!

balky12 · 15 Dec 2017 at 19:04

Just downloaded AMD link. Can see all my ReLive videos , is there a way to play them on your phone? I can only upload them to Facebook/ youtube.

Hopefully you haven't overlooked a massive feature.
