The AMD Driver Thread

Gerard · 27 May 2015 at 16:00

The once a month whql drivers got daft after a while as they were always behind where they needed to be, whql certifying takes something like 2 weeks iirc so any issues that cropped up needed to be fixed in a hotfix or in a driver further down the line.

still no driver update for better witcher 3 performance then ?

Angst · 27 May 2015 at 16:03

Bets on that the next gen cards are launched before the new drivers.

Nope. Some guy named Roy said next week apparently, not sure if that was last week though, or the week before. lol

Thats what im waiting on, bought the game, but not worth playing untill new driver seems amazing when it comes to PC hardware how things like this is acceptable

You on a single card? If so don't bother waiting, fire it up and give it a go. Plays fine for me. It is the crossfire guys who need the drivers more than anyone the poor sods, spent all that moneys and can't even play games on release

This would make me very sad indeed.

Performance is fine on single GPU it's crossfire profile people waiting for..

Tbh the only people in here complaining should be crossfire users,.

Amd forums is were you guys need to be.

Take a look at @AMD_Roy's Tweet:

Just looked, most of their recent threads are witcher 3/cf related... How have they not got the message yet?

slick rick · 27 May 2015 at 16:38

It is just getting so frustrating now, I mean W3 is a big deal and a game that people have been anticipating for a long time. Project cars has been accessible for so long that the lack of driver support is crazy. Folks like eyetrip have been asking for an Elite profile for ages with still no sign of one.

AMD really need to up their game as it is getting tiresome for the consumer and Nvidia will end up stomping them into the ground at this rate.

True. Plus what an awful forum. I would rather post here. Plus that is why we have Matt, his job is to voice our concerns to drivers team. So I think we will just continue posting here thanks Roy

Their new forum imo is garbage. Can't get my head round where anything is.

God, I must have been moaning a lot if people remember my name and what I have been moaning about

Its understandable though, you have a game you enjoy and you want to utilise all your GPU power to run it so I don't blame you for asking for crossfire support frequently!

I signed up there the other day to ask about TressFX, still no answer to my question but i have some ideas on how AMD could improve some things, i don't assume to be right about anything but feedback would be good, it would show they are listening to the community, so i'll give it a go.

I have pointed Roy on Twitter to this thread (not for the first time) and urged him to release the drivers he is sitting on.

I think we should all tweet him directly...about freesync and Crossfire profiles.

Also why aren't OCUK openly applying pressure to AMD to release drivers. OCUK are the biggest buyers of AMD cards in the UK and most of us have bought them from here and so surely OCUK must have some leverage when it comes to keeping its customers (US!) happy!!

We need a revolution to end this driver oppression!!!

I tweet him every so often.

Mostly about Elite.
