**THE AMD DRIVERS THREAD**

[hyperseven]

why has amd put 3840 x 2160 only for the r9 285? surely the 290/x should have it.

Tonga not Hawaii GPU

Ohh i like how they advertise these drivers like performance improvements
"UP TO 19% on AMD RADEON GRAPHICS"
"UP TO 29% on AMD APUs"

When really it's in two games not just in general...

The real improvements...

Early buyers of an AMD Radeon™ R9 290X GPU who download and install the AMD Catalyst Omega driver can realize up to 19% faster* gameplay on BioShock Infinite.

Similarly, users of AMD’s advanced APUs like the AMD A10 7850K can achieve up to 29% faster** gaming performance on Batman: Arkham Origins.

Well i don't play either so i won't see these improvements will i? Or figures anywhere near...

so Hawaii GPU's can't handle VSR at 4K 3840 x 2160?

Supposedly it's coming Jan/Feb next year in the second part of this driver.

Does VSR have a sharpness filter to stop it blurring everything?

Down scaling does not blur.

Set my old 19" from 1280 x 1024 to 1800 x 1440, much more of a usable screen now. Some stuff is quite small but handy for putting various things on there. Not tried any games on my main monitor yet though.

I've found (what I think is) a bug.

With audio out via HDMI and sound quality set to 24bit 192000Hz the sound is really garbled now. I noticed it running Unigine Heaven 4.0 and the Tomb Raider menu screen.

Had to change it to 16bit 192000Hz.

Didn't have an issue prior to using the Omega drivers.

I've tried every method on both vendors and it does blur

depends on the screen.

on my screen it's clear

I have never had it blur.

Just tried Warthunder at 3200 x 1800 downscaled to 1440p. Looks fantastic. Runs pretty much at max settings including 6x AA at over 100 fps on only one card


One thing that has annoyed me as a multi screen user is that when in game, it ruins the background on the screen to its right. Guess there is no way around that as it setting the desktop to the higher resolution when in game.

Streaming Mantle works (kinda) but the quality is crap. Am i doing something wrong?

I have Raptr settings at..

3500kbps
30/60 FPS
100%

Anyone?

 

[BS Dave]

Anyone else not even getting the option to enable VSR - it's just not in my CCC. I'm running a tri-x 290 with a benq 2420T 120hz

 

[X3T]

This driver still does not fix the 144Hz ROG Swift flickering issue

 

[Puppetmaster]

Where are you going to get it? Should be under Digital Flat Panels

 

[Matson]

I seemed to have gained about 10fps in Assassins Creed Unity with these at 3440x1440. Anyone else getting higher fps with these in it? Just making sure im not just imagining things lol.

 

[Loxa]

pppfffffffffffft no scaling options for 7950 cards.

Do you get a crossfire option with these drivers? I am still missing it :s

 

[BS Dave]

Yep in properties, there's nothing next to enable gpu up scaling. Oh and now i've lost the option for Mantle in BF4...

I know this might not be what you want to hear. But have you tried reinstall windows? It seems that's your only option something is up.

What's the AMD rep got to say?
