The AMD Driver Thread

Could you get me a screenshot of that please TwsT, that would be really helpful as I don't see that on my setup.

I'll grab one tonight at work at the moment Although I could see if i can replicate it on the 285 as it's the same drivers.



And yeah Mei Contrasty as in blurry clouds of dark pixelated cack. I didn't notice it till a few updates in.

It's definitely not right because half the night is fine and if I turn on the torch its fine. I know it's not normal because i completed the game before the problem started.

I am waiting for the crossfire profile before playing DL but have heard that maxing the view distance has a significant impact on performance. Do you see much visual difference between having it set at 100% vs say 50%?

It certainly uses a lot more video memory. :)

Thanks Twst, if it was introduced in a game patch then I'll still raise it as an issue so we can communicate it to the devs to be addressed in a future patch.

i believe they changed it a little in a patch but last i saw no, no difference

step1 ingame is to turn view distance to 0
a lot of the other settings have no effect bcos the game was made like p00p

Correct, I'm not sure i really understand what point deuse is trying to make. Our single card performance is very good in this title and right where it should be.

Say I want to add a profile for one game to another. You can't do that with AMD drivers.

There is no menu telling me what profiles are working and what for. NV have a drop down menu with all the games
so you can pick and chose what profile for what game\app.
NV also scan your HD and showing you what profiles it has installed for you. AMD NOTHING.
AMD drivers don't recognise Doom BFG but NV does. That's just one of many AMD fail on.
 
Matt, do you have any info on what the target driver release schedule is going to be after this release. Are we going to be waiting months between drivers from now on or is the plan to go back to monthly drops again? If it is going to be a longer period is there any chance of going back to a CAPs style update so we can at least get xfire profiles a bit quicker?

What are you talking about?

You have a single card, you don't need to use any profiles either with Nvidia or AMD because the drivers do it all automatically.

What do you mean AMD drivers don't recognize Doom BFG? If you want to change settings in the AMD Catalyst control centre you would just point it in the direction of the Doom BFG .exe file and alter the settings you want and they would be applied to that game. I can see very few reasons to want to fiddle around with every game....Just change the global options and it'll be applied to everything

You can add a profile to CCC too.

The last problem we had with Doom BFG edition was fixed two and a half years ago in Catalyst 13.8 Beta 2.

Feature Highlights of AMD Catalyst™ 13.8 Beta 2 for Windows
Doom 3 BFG: Corruption issues have been resolved

I've not played DoomBFG, but i understand it's pretty much identical to Doom3 apart from some different sound effects and a few improved textures. A single 290X will max that out without breaking sweat I'd have thought.

Same as last year, once a month or thereabouts.

Matt, BF4 has become very choppy and virtually unplayable since I added my 290 to the 295x2. Is their something I can try? I even tried 'Low' settings but it was exactly the same?

cheers


edit - Do you have that cfg file handy so I can check my figures out? Ta

Screenshot with an overlay running would be helpful Si.

Have you got the AMD Gaming Evolved APP running in your taskbar?
