The AMD Driver Thread

Need to update now (still on the 17.12.1s), as getting a weird hair effect in SOTTR at certain places.

Someone mentiond to try turning off the DOF, as that fixed it for them, but that doesn't work for me, so figuring nows the time for a driver update, but to which ones ?,as been reading about the last few sets, not being very good.

I know the first SOTTR drivers were the 18.9.1s, are they any good ?

Maybe use the 18.10.1?

Absolutely not. Pay a visit in the Vega 64 discussion... Have a look at the last 2 pages

These are the best and more stable OC drivers since the 18.8.1.

Just update to the latest lol Not sure why this desire to not update the driver, if for what ever reason you do run into issue, go back a driver.

I can go onto any forum and search for a GPU and a driver for AMD or Nvidia and find issue. Remember people with issue report on forums, people who dont have issue dont report any. When was the last time i reported an issue on here?

I'll give the latest a go, thanks.

I don't update all the time, as if its not broken..........., and the 17.12.1s have been running great, without issue, but now i need to update, see if it cures my Tombi hair prob.

Only one thing for it, believe the hype, get a 2080ti and have it ray traced mate

EDIT:

Well they went on fine, will give em a test later when i play Tombi

Only odd thing was, which ive never had before, was after id restarted after the drivers had installed, i got a message saying my hardware had changed, so to reboot again, which i did

Just gave Tombi a try, and still got the hair bug, so i went through the settings, and found if i turn off the Screen Space Refelctions, that fixes it.

As it turns out and unrelated to your issue, but you do realise if you ever come through our official support channels for an issue, the first we will tell you to try is?

Must be a new thing, thanks

Have noticed with 18.10.1, the centre (main) monitor of three goes into standby mode when booting windows. This is much improved from previous driver versions where the right monitor would become the main and revert to 800x600 at 30Hz

Yeah ive been getting the patches through Steam, but still happens unfortunately, still, i don't mind having to turn off the Screen Space Reflections to fix it, i can live with that, still looks great.

HDMI and rated DP cable, same problem.

Freesync dead with Adrenalin, all works fine in Crimson.

Did you follow my advice on previous page? Is now resolved?

Please note. If you are using Windmill to test Freesync, it doesn't work properly with newer drivers. The tool is 3 years old.

Over on Guru3D forums i saw this posted in relation to the oct18 driver update..

Wonder if they're a WHQL'd version of the October 15th update with support for the 580 2048 SP model.

EDIT: No the config file points to these as adding support for the RX 590

<td>Radeon RX 590 Series</td>
