Known Issues

AMD FreeSync™ technology may experience performance issues with Borderless Fullscreen application support when a secondary display is attached and has dynamic content running such as video playback in a web browser or if other applications or game launchers are running on the primary screen in the background. A workaround if this issue is experienced is to minimize all other running applications that are on the primary desktop display or on non-primary extended displays.
Counter-Strike™: Global Offensive and World of Warcraft™ may experience flickering or performance issues the first time the game is launched on a system boot with AMD FreeSync™ technology enabled.

Wow, thanks for the info, downloading it right now.

edit: It gave me a clean install option, with 1 reboot. Nice. Well 2 reboots if you install ReLive.

I didn't realize until recently how nice this is. Or would be to have it, at least.

4k@60fps + VP9 (like this for example) is close to unwatchable with an average CPU.

I just want to be able to force vsync and FRTC at the same time through the driver.

I wonder if Crimson will negatively affect performance with these options.

None of their new features are compatible with my 280X. Not a single fucking one.

Well, fuck you.

A lot of benchmarks (in German) here: https://www.computerbase.de/2016-12...hnitt_benchmarks_crimson_relive_gegen_crimson

Seems like ReLive gives a little more performance than the old drivers

That's pretty good. Especially when the CPU is running at 100mhz less in your new test.

Drawcall is not the only bottleneck for AMD DX11 but still good to see they are constantly improving it.
Click to expand...

I think the 100Mhz difference is just 3DMark reporting wrong, both were done at 4.4GHz it even says so down on the CPU details. Anyway it's a sustantial improvement.

Seems like youtube doesn't support HEVC yet, tried to upload a quick Witcher 3 test and it couldn't proccess it.

Actually you get everything except Wattman



It supports Mantle. My 7950 does. It five year old tech, time to upgrade.
Click to expand...

The compatibility part of the OP says something completely different.

And upgrade to what, a 480? Where I live that means $400 (around what I paid for the 280 nearly three years ago) for something slightly better than what I currently own. Fuck that. Last time I changed cards I went from a 4670 to a 280X. Now that's an upgrade. Not something that is barely 40% better.

They may never do. YouTube has not announced any plans to support h.265 video submission. I imagine they're trying to use their dominance to push VP9, but there could be cost reasons too as h.265 requires licensing.

I recorded 2 videos of the benchmark stage in DiRT Rally at Ultra settings, it lowered the maximum framerate by 2 frames with HEVC encoding@30mbps.

I doubt that every single feature in there is impossible to develop for GCN 1.0 hardware. They just want us to upgrade.
Click to expand...

Name some examples? There is a reasonable expectation that hardware will be supported for some time, but the five years since GCN 1.0 debuted is a reasonable time to cut off.

As far as I know the 280 came out in 2014.

The R9 280x came out at the end of 2013 and was basically a rebadged o/c 7970, a GPU from late 2011.

Anybody in here running a R9 480X and have Shadow Warrior 2? I'm at work and cannot test the new drivers out. Curious if they help the game run any better than they currently do.

I'm not an expert but please tell me how "Upgrade Advisor", for example, can't possibly be supported on GCN 1.0 hardware.

It's been 2 years since the last GCN 1.0 card released. Some people bought the LATEST AMD card in 2014 and now have unsupported hardware. 2 years!
