Just update, cant be bothered to do clean unless there's something seriously wrong.

True. I do like to do a clean install now and then though. Works out around once a year or so, used to do it twice a year back in the day of using HDD’s as things would always get bogged down and slow. Now I mainly do it when changing GPU from Nvidia to AMD or vice versa.

Reddit doesn't seem to think there is GPU hardware scheduling.

Reddit has a lot of "special" people.

Tbf, AMD are kinda confirming it so far. Someone asked about it and they had an AMD Software developer reply

I can't make a statement on release but please be patient

Looks like profile overclocks are broken as well

Just checked widows update, nothing yet.... has it been released?

Aye yeah.
I've got all my devices on.

Ok, thx. It might take a little while to register on my system, i'll try again later.

Might need to do the Windows update assistant download.

Ah, ok.

Not rushing to update to this build. Will likely do a clean install of Windows in September when the new cards come out

Gerard · 28 May 2020 at 15:19

So where is this option? Updated last night and no sign of it.

I would like to see gaming benchmark results once the dust settles on this Hardware-accelerated GPU scheduling.
I don't get the impression this was intended just for games...

I've did a bit of googling and found that once you have the drivers of it and have win10 2004 the registry key is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers

Dword: HwSchMode
1 = Off
2 = On
But there is no need to alter this as it's in win10 itself (I posted that earlier and didn't know what that was all about).

On the current 5.2.1 drivers (with vega and driver string ending in 1011) and 2004 I don't have this Dword. I am def running WDDM 2.7 as well.

Apparently Nvidia's implementation is an experimental toggle that is breaking lots of stuff? So maybe that's why AMD haven't supported it yet. Sounds like HS will need some work to smooth out

Yeah, I wouldn't force it until AMD says it's ready

Is it worth updating to the latest WHQL drivers? Not having issues, nor do I want them.

My memory clocks are stuck at 1750Mhz even at idle......

Thanks for the swift update, will remain with the previous driver me thinks until confirmed fix is released.

Bounce · 29 May 2020 at 15:36

Not sure if this is related to the AMD drivers, but been playing Call of Duty Warzone lately and Video memory usage is maxed out.

I never known a game max out video memory before, is anyone else getting this or is it just me?

The game does stutter every now and then.

nutsnut · 29 May 2020 at 16:00

Could be a memory leak in the latest COD patch, they release enough of them as they keep breaking things.

Had a similar issue last night, but didn't check VRAM usage. will check tonight and drop confirm.

gpuerrilla · 29 May 2020 at 21:28

Not seen a leak yet but I did have an issue with the pagefile the other day (after a patch) so I had to faff with that and it worked after tweaking.

What should the memory clock be at idle? Got a feeling mine are stuck at 1750 at idle too will check later

It's a known issue with Ultra texture on some GPUs it's been like this since release. Drop them texture down one for very little noticeable difference and you won't stutter again.
