Download & Discuss - AMD Radeon Software Crimson Thread (Beta7 November 2015)

Okay. I've gone through this thread thoroughly. The problems that're mostly observed while using AMD's Crimson drivers are:

1) Fluctuating core clocks while running GPU intensive 3D applications & games.

2) AMD's newly built Crimson control panel crashing on startup.

3) Overdrive settings and other changes made through the UI not being saved and is being reverted to default or a troublesome value upon restart.

4) Random artifacts observed in games that goes away when certain resolutions are used.

5) AMD promising a lot but yet again under delivering as usual, so what else is now? We know by now that this new QT GUI is nothing but a diversion which broke more things than it fixed.

 

What he means is unless you unlocked overdrive by agreeing to the EULA or something, it remains locked.

 

After install/reinstall (DDU) this driver i manage to have no errors.No more cnext.exe crash.
1st time and 2nd time of instalation install manager show me to install the light version of CCC.After 3rd time no more that option and now no more errors.

For Shader cache i make profiles for every game i play and put the option On(not Amd optim).

 

This sounds like a codec/acceloration problem if music plays fine.

 

I have no clue if i did that, but seriously. There should be a way to disable it, because i don't want it.

 

Yes, thats what i mean. I cant even open it before i agree/accept, which i didnt. It means disabled by default.

 

We just wait 6 months for Amd to fix this driver.

I think this was the case with catalyst as well. But I only enabled OverDrive once, after that I had to uninstall Catalyst and reinstall it to restore OverDrive to default.

Edit: Actually, I'm not sure if even reinstalling helped or not, because that was the time when I installed Win 10.

 

I'm pretty sure you could disable overdrive by unchecking "enable overdrive" (I used the dutch version, so i'm not sure how it's called in english).

 

Dunno... But I won't enable OverDrive

 

Hi,
I'm using Freesync as well and zero problem for me with Crimson so far. The core clock is stable at 1040Mhz on Mad Max and Witcher 3. This is what I've done everytime I installed new driver.

1) Disable ULPS
2) Set the Power Limit on Overdrive to Max +50%
3) Use AB to disable the PowerPlay by selecting the Unofficial overclocking mode and select without PowerPlay support

***the only downside for this tweak is during video playback using SVP and MPC-HC it will lock at max core clock, so if you don't have good ventilation for your rig this might cause some problem***

FYI, I guess this time AMD introduce double frame for free sync or something like that in the loading screen on witcher 3 the FRAPS showing 28 frames but the monitor report exactly 56hz which is nice!!!

Try above see if it'll fix your problem or not, if it doesn't should report back to AMD.

Cheers!

 

Nah, thats actually good, even the new Microsoft Office uses GPU drawn menu, so it shows MSI afterburner if you're in the office Beta and not the normal Office which is excluded in RTSS, simplay start Rivatuner add a new Profile name it cnext.exe and set detection to none

 

Tomb Raider 15.11.1 vs Crimson

15.11.1



Crimson

 

It's been documented by some users over at OC.

 

OC UK?

Do you have a link?

 

I'm quite happy with the performance of Fallout 4 with these drivers..

The only negative for me is that it isn't remembering hide system tray icon.

 

Y, but we have Legacy Crimson drivers for us: LINK
And someone post that leaked beta driver has needed inf files for old card too.
But i can't install them, black screen.

Aah corruption. My clocks work fine 300/150 on desktop sometimes memory jumping up when surfing but ofcourse since hardware acceleration is on. Clocks fluctuate between 1000-1040 when gaming unless I use AB to force clocks to 1080 or something.

Is the clock bouncing only for Fury guys? I know they introduced way more aggressive power saving features maybe that is acting up?

Crimson software works really well.

But yeah noticed bit of artifacts when changing ammo in AW so that is the corruption everyone is getting. I wonder what triggers it, it seems to be rather small things.

Reported the display corruption among other things

 

I have had that happen on some earlier drivers this year. AB needing reinstall because I updated drivers.

 

Do you remember that ugly artifacting sword hilt in Witcher 2? If it is anything like that it is due to shader doing some weird math.
Maybe shader cache? Especially if it does for many users. People making shaders often make them like alchemy with trial error till it looks good to them. Unreal Engine has very good shader studio, but CoD AW, I do not think that engine has very good tooling.
