The AMD Driver Thread

Managed to stop CCC from crashing, using a 15.2 driver from an earlier Win10 build and the 15.3 CCC. Bit of mix and match seems to work great.

Cool, thanks for letting me know mate.

I'm still getting the 850Mhz issue with my first card, Matt.

This is what both cards are like during the Mantle API tests. You can see the second card clocking correctly at 1090Mhz.

The issue has been around for quite a while, never saw a fix for it though.

No update from the release notes yet.

The game contains surfaces which are unfriendly towards Crossfire, this is why you see flickering. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do until the issue is corrected in a game patch, at this point we'll enable the profile in our drivers.

Cheers my friend. Will just disable then and wait, no biggie.

I got a weird issue, if i open facebook on internet browser while in a game or the GPU is under load it will knock the card from 1000MHZ to 900MHZ. As soon as i close the facebook tab or page it will clock back up to 1000MHZ from 900MHZ :s.

Edit:
Ok so i went into facebook options and turned off "Auto-Play Videos" and now it no longer clocks down by 100MHZ, don't get me wrong i am glad i fixed it but why would this cause the GPU to reduce its core clock?

Also, Crossfire doesn't work in Wolfenstein: The New Order.

EDIT: Turns out no profile actually exists for it in 15.3 BETA.

Mantle, DX or both Dave?

I've only tried mantle. I'll check. Give me 20 mins

Edit - annoyingly the oil and fire flickering are both mantle only

Wolfenstein don't support Multi-GPU at all. You can force it though. Not sure what results yiu will get though.

Is that an AMD or Bethesda problem? or both?

Game engine problem.

Also didn't like multi-screen when I played it. Ended up playing through on one screen, using one GPU like some kind of Neanderthal! Didn't stop me loving every single minute of the game and going back for a second run through as soon as I'd finished the first.

I guess you have hardware acceleration in browser switched on.. This uses your GPU for video playback etc
Because you using the GPUs full power 1000hz and you then tell it to start playing video something has to give way.

Oh ok, so it might be a better idea to have it disabled?

Yeah I disable it and let cpu control the playback.
But you do loose out on some the cool video features amd has in its driver.

TonyTurbo78 · 30 Mar 2015 at 22:19

what cool features are those Shanks?

Matt? Wouldn't mind an update on this.

It's not a gpu benchmark so it doesn't matter what the clocks are.

Oh, really? Ooops.

It still happens with other 3DMark tests though.

AMD drivers....

savagesam117 · 31 Mar 2015 at 23:11

So AMD are back to a driver update a month? Bets on how late this one will be?

Not that there's anything wrong with this one, infact no difference for me but hey!
