i thought it was always the case you were better of using chill as the limiter, as in set the min and max to the limited fps number that you require due to latency with the actual limiter not being present in chil. presume thats why it was removed?

ichill is crap on competitive games like WOT, because instead of pushing the card to it's cap, keeps is close to minimum which need to be set high enough (over 100fps). Yet 100 fps is worthless on the next game I will play, a strategy where it can do with 60, so need to re-arrange it again.

And that's issue on most games using own launchers these days, where we cannot create game profiles properly.

Damn these drivers are incredible!

Superb in every way, stable, personally not had any bugs myself so far and the fantastic useful features + the UI looks sweet and is quick as ****! :cool:

On quick yeah. Was impressed that in X4 got 50% more FPS in stations!!!!!
Timespy shows 7% higher perf also, with my untuned CPU (previous run my 3900X was 10% faster).

Did you used DDU in windows safe mode? I don't have any issues but had without wiping the drivers.

yep done on both system multiple times, no change, just rolling 1 machine back now for testing.

Hmm. There should be an other underlying issue.

on 2 separate systems that were both working prior to the update? im not convinced

seems engine related to me specific to the latest driver.

have you tried any unreal 4 based games are they working for you?

edit: yep confirmed rolling back to 19.11.3 fixes the problem. @LtMatt seems like the latest drivers are not friendly with unreal4 engine based games, can you pass along to the driver team. there is also reports on google if you search for 'amd 19.12.2 and unreal 4' not just specific to me.

Being reported over on Guru3D that UE4 games don't work with these.

Ive read few reports of UE4 games not working with these.

ah ok cheers mate, ive submitted a report, hopefully they will get it resolved.

Phixsator · 13 Dec 2019 at 22:03

Hmm, out of the blue a whole host of issues have cropped up. PoE crashes, Fortnite crashes, random game on xbox crashes. Sometimes it takes the entire PC with it and I have to hard reset. Going to reroll and see if it fixes it. Kinda ***** if it is these drivers cause some of the features i've been looking forward to.

hudson86 · 13 Dec 2019 at 23:06

Similar issues on Vega 64, no overclocking enabled, getting black screen on sleep bugs, crashing in BFV , Freesync going very weird in Borderless, alt tab out works ok for 10 secs then goes stutter mad again .. not at all stable .
Have turned off Anti Lag, Enhanced Sync etc globally but still not better.

Yrkoon · 14 Dec 2019 at 00:43

ok these drivers suck

intermittent problems with both rage 2 splash screens and borderlands 3, now borderlands 3 plays stuff on splash screens and i get blank screen...... or multicolour static

think ill go back, thats the only 2 games i tried with these drivers on my 5700

submitted a detailed report to amd.

edit: what was the latest drivers before these ones?

edit: just went back to early december ones and every thing is working awesome again

SpudMaster · 14 Dec 2019 at 03:06

Only played Street Fighter V on these new drivers. Game is UE4 and no crashes for me on a V56.

I hope you took notice and have disabled Enhanced Sync yes as per AMD latest news update update yes?

Btw for me these drivers are the best for my 5700XT AE. Got 6% clock for clock more performance out of them, allowing me to reduce clocks & voltage even further (1800Mhz/930mv now) to drop the temps sub 65C constantly, sipping less than 130W (40% lower power consumption) with 10% lower fan speed than the default curve (which was quiet either way).

Yrkoon · 14 Dec 2019 at 08:24

i had everything disabled including enhanced sync etc i don't roll back drivers usually but i had to with these ones
