Freesync still not working for me with Adrenaline drivers.

Works fine with Crimson 17.11.14

After that, not worked on a driver since.

Any ideas please?

Used DDU and AMD driver cleaner, still the same problem.

System specs and monitor/cable used?

Hello Matt.

Specs are:

Intel 6600K
Z170 Board
Radeon RX570 4GB
LG 34UM69G monitor connected via HDMI. Tried multiple HDMI cables, same issue with any driver above 17.11.14

This monitor supports adaptive sync through HDMI at 2560x1080 as confirmed by LG.

Radeon software also confirms Freesync is enabled.

All works fine with 17.11.14 but for some reason, all drivers after that, no Freesync even though Radeon software says is enabled.

If you need any logs or anything I will gladly assist.

Thanks for any help.

Can you try disabling Windows Game DVR and full screen optimisations for one of your games and see if that fixes it?

@AMDMatt - Followed your suggestions above although no cigar.

I also tried creating an application profile with AMD Optimised and ON for Freesync and still not working.

I can see reports of the same problem but no solution other than reverting to the last Crimson driver.

Thanks I'll look into it. Meanwhile, please submit your own bug report here.

Hey I just got a Vega 56, So far its manage to shut my system down while playing games. Also get one game where freesync stutters like crazy. Is this just the norm at the moment? >M>

no, what did you do in terms of drivers. i would recommend clean installing them with either ddu or through the latest AMD driver.

LoadsaMoney · 18 May 2018 at 18:37

By system shutting down, do you mean switching off ?, if so, PSU problem.

No, it isn't normal. What is your power supply?

Let us know how you get on, is this for the 2200g as well? Never too sure the correct name of the igpu on these

RavenXXX2 · 18 May 2018 at 20:03

So far running great, no BSOD or freezing, no dodgy colours in game or desktop. My crysis 3 performance issues have been fixed. Yes 2200G and 2400G.

Are you using the igpu for crysis 3?

I bought the 2200g in the end with a b350 mobo with 8gb of ram and wondered what the limit is for this gpu. It's mainly used for minecraft, all lego games and roblox with garden warfare 1 and 2 and so far so good apart from the few times it will randomly restart.

RavenXXX2 · 18 May 2018 at 20:21

Yes. It's a very capable GPU when used with correct settings, I can easily play crysis 3 at 1600x900p with medium detail at 45-60 fps. That is an awesome achievement for integrated GFX.

Oh, dear. Is there any chance that you can try with at least a 750W one? Another one?

Ordered a 850w G3. Hopefully fix my issues.

ED209 · 19 May 2018 at 11:53

I did a clean install of w10 latest version with latest drivers for the 2200g and now getting random green screens in minecraft. I can minimise the game and load it back up and it goes but then comes back after ten mins

henson0115 · 21 May 2018 at 11:49

just so you know, i run a 56 with a 650 corsair psu without any issues either overclocked or not but it depends which version of the 650 you have, they are not all equal.
