The AMD Driver Thread

I have a 7970. I'm expecting these drivers to offer nothing whatsoever for me, with no performance increases (no crossfire here)
Maybe even a few bugs and new glitches

Martini1991 · 19 Mar 2015 at 17:54

If the drivers are 15.3, then AMD were late.
Freesync page on AMD says support from 15.2.

Don't use them then

This driver had best be good considering we have waited 3 months.

15 = Year .3 = Month. so 15.3.

After three months, I hope they would deliver more than just a 'beta'.

*Mind Blown*

Never considered that.

Correct.

No monitors were available in February, so 15.2 became 15.3.

When is the driver coming? I presume it's not today now... I'm currently on 14.12 beta

Martini1991 · 19 Mar 2015 at 18:04

So, regardless of semantics.
The launch of "Freesync" as a whole was late? It's just when you were saying about 19th March as a specific date, yet the Freesync page references 15.2 (Having drivers before monitors would be far better than monitors before drivers) which never saw a launch.

I'm in agreement martini, but can we move this on? :cool:

I just find it interesting that the stance put across was BenQ was "early" and they weren't really.

Have been holding off buying another card to see if the crossfire profiles support is a good selection of games or not, the balls in AMD court now, poor support, no card.

The News is on in about half an hour!

i remember they posted somewhere that the next drivers will be called 15.2 not 15.3. because people was asking will it be 15.3 and they said no.

Come on! I neeeeeed them!

I take a nap and still no driver.. this is pathetic, release em already AMD ffs.

Bonjour · 19 Mar 2015 at 18:27

I'll have another nap. Naps seem to get more satisfying with each passing year.
