The AMD Driver Thread

[apostolis_kt]

As mentioned in the Vega 56 thread, with the 2020 drivers, 2 crossfire games i tried so far crash on load. Reverted back to the 2019 one and Witcher 3 and Tomb raider 2013 work properly on crossfire.

Ill wait until this get ironed out. I am in the minority though so possibly might not even be fixed..

For everyone saying Pstates are gone, am I looking at the right thing here? You can just type the numbers into the boxes, you don't need to use the sliders/dials.

If that's all it takes to get your pee warm and fuzzy then you are going to "love" the slow loading of the nvidia control panel. Ohh and profiles are even slower to manage. I feel a bit sorry for you, you gotta be stressed about a whole lot of things if a few incorrect profiles can get you this negative. FYI the automatic detection of games has work pretty well so fare for me with none of these issues. Anyway I wish you the best and yes I actually mean that.

Yeah the Nvidia Control Panel Loading is a joke, it takes at least a couple of seconds, if that

When left clicking on a P State..



I also had memory clock locking to 700Mhz on those new drivers, with no option like the above i am stuck at 700Mhz or have to run default settings as every time i change drivers settings i would have the memory clock bug after each reboot.

About the Nvidia control panel being slow, i tested a 1050ti back in the summer, it loaded up right away for me so not sure how it could be any slower than Wattman which can take ages on some options when you click on them.

Vega 56 user here and everything seems to be running smoothly so far, main games being Borderlands 3 and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice (Ashina Castle is still like Blighttown ).
I use MSI Afterburner to overclock so can't comment on that side of the driver/interface.

Have you tried Jedi Fallen Order by any chance? Curious to know what performance you're getting at 4K with XF V56. Thinking of adding another cheapo V64 to mine.

Use DDU. Installed the drivers over the 19.11.1 with Factory reset. Yet performance was half in games than should be. eg I was getting 55fps on Phoenix Point which wasn't the case with the older drivers.
After DDU, getting 90+ fps as normal. Other games were not affected like TF2 or WOT though.

Drivers been updated.

I am very impressed with the changes to AMD Link. Quality is very good, this is over WIFI on not the best WIFI signal also SKY Router LOL

 

[MyBrainz]

Anybody know what was updated in the drivers?

Not sure why im asking though, got an MSI 1660S Gaming X coming tomorrow

Did you run a before and after benchmark in Borderlands 3 and see no change? I lost 4 fps using like for like settings on my V56 going from 19.12.1 to 19.12.2. If you did get the same results then it points to the new Wattman app being the cause of my drop. I might try the new driver with MSI Afterburner later

Ahhh of course. Instead of setting State 7 as the minimum like you would do in the older drivers, you just set state 0-6 to be equal to what state 7 reads. Should achieve the same thing in the end. Though not as elegant.

Best to do a DDU for these new drivers or just install over the top? Vega 56 user here...

Yes, DDU first.

 

[shankly1985]

No need to use DDU anymore with Radeon Software the built in reset is more than enough.

New driver looks fantastic! Nvidia looking even more dated now, didn't think that was possible lol

So what do people recommend in terms of anti lag, sync etc. for my setup?

60HZ non freesync monitor - mainly for FPS with M+K
60/120HZ non freesync 1440/4k TV - for all other games with controller

Tear free experience is a must have as I always use vsync and lock to 60 fps unless using the 120HZ option on my telly.

They dont bother updating their control panel as they obviously cant fleece any money from milking the nvidia mugs, its wasted resources with no profit.

It doesn't detect Counter-Strike: Source properly.

Anyone else have an issue with fan settings not saving?
