The AMD Driver Thread

Last time I mainly tested Superposition and PUBG and as I'm playing a lot of PUBG at the moment I didn't get much past that iirc. Weirdly I seem to remember Valley not seeming to show much impact.
I have a Vive and was using it at the weekend but never tried it with the 17.12.1 drivers.
And yes it is odd that more people don't seem to be seeing issues with perf on these last two sets. :confused:

Out of interest, what's your basic setup? Wonder if we have something in common that others may not?

Win 10 Pro x64
i7 3770K @4.4GHz
RX Vega 64
16GB 2133MHz
x2 Samsung SSD's - running Samsung Magician.
Corsair k/b+m - running C.U.E
BenQ XL2730Z DP 144Hz
BenQ XL2420T DP 120Hz
HDMI out to a Yamaha amp connected to a Samsung 4K TV.

If you get a moment can you test amd performance overlay and Freesync? While in game enable the performance overlay do you see screen tear?

Thanks in advance.

Looking at your system, Not much in common. Here's mine:-

Win 10 pro x64 (fall update)
AMD Ryzen 1700 @stock
16GB Corsair memory 3200Mhz
2 crucial SSD
1 Samsung 2TB drive
Qpad MK-85 keyboard
Func MS-3 mouse
Asus MG279Q Freesync monitor.

I haven't tried Valley on the new drivers and can't try 3D mark because it just crashes shortly after starting the program, before I can even run a benchmark!!

The thing is my friend has the same issues that we are having. He is on a Haswell system using Windows 10 x64 but doesn't have the Fall update installed. He has a VR headset too, a Vive. I have a Rift.

Wonder is it something to do with having a VR headset installed? It's the only common thing really.
 
I have tried a few games and noticed no problems with the overlay and performance on my Freesync 4K monitor.

Witcher 3
Dishonored 2
Andromeda
Watchdogs 2

All worked perfectly fine with no performance issues.

It is odd that all three of us have VR headsets, mine is plugged in but the breakout box isn't powered up and didn't have steam running.
I also have the fall update installed - fully up to date with windows updates - and did a clean install of Win10 + FCU not long after it came out as originally the FCU broke some things on my install.
Notice you list 'Pro' edition as well, does your friend also have this? Could that be it?

My Friend doesn't have the pro edition and I completely forgot. It can't be the VR headset either. We completely wiped and reinstalled windows 10 on his and only installed the Adrenalin drivers and same thing.

Glad I didn't try them out so. The performance drop doesn't just affect Superposition, VR games too suffer the same large drop in performance.

It can't be just the two of us that are noticing this?

I'm unable to complete a race in Dirt Rally without the game closing down and a Radeon settings error crash message appearing.

I just tried Dirt 4 which seems okay so I've put a ticket in for Dirt Rally.


I'm using the 17.12.2 driver (newest one).


Also, I'm on Win 10 pro.
