Think im just gonna say what everyone else is thinking

WTF!!! there not even out yet and new drivers don't support the cards that these are just rebrands of?

2xx owners will get the optimisations aimed at inflating review scores later, if you all get the boost now the new cards won't look as good.

Flash your 290X with 390X bios if they turn out to be complete GCN1.1 rebrands.

When can we expect the drivers for 2xx series with the improved performance that the modded W10 drivers have and the FPS limiter etc.?

Matt, are you able to pass on feedback for the Windows 10 drivers? I'm having an issue with Mantle and posted on your forum but got told i have to report it to Microsoft. There is so much **** on the MS Feedback app i don't think it'll ever be seen by someone from Microsoft let alone AMD!

Here is the thread if you're interested: https://community.amd.com/message/2655272

I am sure it totally depends on the state of AMD in the next 24 hours. If they pull a rabbit out of a hat, he will be here all the time! If not, I doubt we will see much of him.

Not taking anything away from Matt, but I am not sure the rep adds anything. Even the so called feedback to AMD I take with a pinch of salt, look at Elite for example!

I would prefer no reps, instead spend the money on R&D of products and drivers - if they are perfect there won't be a need for someone to help 'solve problems!'

Just my 2p worth!

P.S. Welcome to the new AMD rep (for the 2nd time) who hasn't had the time/courtesy to even say hello to us despite no doubt being paid to do just that! Yes Joe...I'm talking to you!

But I got elite working!

I went green

Edit: I thought I was in the fury hype thread...

No idea.

Not using them myself as knowing my luck I will have issues

Just to confirm I've just downloaded this and tried to install and of course they don't work with the 200 series.

I'm sure someone over at guru3d will mod the INF soon so we can all have a play,

So are we going to have to wait longer for drivers for the 2xx series or is this a subtle way of telling us that they're going legacy? :confused:

Not bothered at all. Going Windows 10 anyway, will get those drivers

Current win 10 driver is newer and better.

Am I right in that witcher 3 is still unplayable in crossfire on the 15.5 drivers? I have horrible texture flicker.

Pretty much. Unless you are willing to make changes in the app settings in CCC.

I'm getting a solid 60fps at 1440p with a mixture of high/ultra with AA off on the 15.5's. There is texture flicker but it's not as bad with me.

aceytrixx · 17 Jun 2015 at 14:54

Is there a link to the changes that need to be done? Although I'm not 100% sure I'll end up starting it this weekend with batman on the way. Hopefully it's not as big a mess as this has been.

Current Win 10 driver crashes every time I play anything. And I can't stop it installing automatically. Right now I have to fire up my PC, wait for the driver to install, DDU it, re-install the Win 8.1 driver, and then I can play.

I'll give this 300series driver a go if only because it might be flagged as newer than the WDDM 2.0 driver, and save me 15 minutes every time I want to play a game!

A good way to avoid the it installing is to turn off Windows Update. I can tell you how to do that if you want.
