AMD Radeon Software Crimson 16.4.2 Download & Discussion

Yes, it goes to 2%, stays there a bit and then quickly jumps to "done" (translated).
Here's the log, which since ages simply opens up in notepad showing some crap unlike earlier (years ago) in browser, anyways:

Something wasn't right with this driver on my end, weird performance, even with clockblocker. Reverted back to 16.4.1.

 

Its XML type of document. And you are right, it does not show anything else than it only tried and succeeded with installation of 'AMD Installationsmanager'.

While Radeon Settings, may no longer be fully depending on dotnet, installer still may need it for some task. Try to install attached .NET 4.5 too.

 

"Same or higher version already installed."

mhm, for a moment i thought this could be it

e
gone to programs, amd installer, then deinstall, it showed me no components are installed and removed amd installer from programs :heh:
They suck so hard with drivers, ever did, sry, 516 MB of junk.

 

Then, you can try manual installation. It can be bit messy, but should work.
AMD Radeon Settings:
...\Packages\Apps\CN\CNext\cnext64

As you have already VC packages and .NET, that's all here as ACP64 is TrueAudio which you do not have.

Go to device manager and manually update driver, with selection from folder:
...\Packages\Drivers\Display\WT6A_INF
For Win7, it is: C7301762.inf
But, windows should scan all inf files there anyway.

And if it works, you can go back to:
...\Packages\Apps\VulkanRT64\VulkanRT
But I guess, you probably can live without it for now, as most of us.

 

Thx for the correct inf, did it, AMD Install Manager still showed no components found and deleted itself, oh well.

Can't go into that old design extra settings window, it shows "Radeon Additional Settings" "Install now" below and by clicking it it shows currently installed 16.4.2 and thats it, check for updates notification comes up to install 3.2 drivers, yeee, sure.

"Try Advanced Setup" does nothing, so basically now i miss this settings, junkware crimson in its full glory.
Just should have stayed with 13.12 until new card sometime comes in, more fiddling around with drivers than gaming, typical AMD.

 

Additional settings should be:
...\Packages\Apps\CN\CCCSlim\Core-Static-Net4

 

Wait, they have this separate?


:bang:
Bad, so bad.

e
yes, thx once again, now that was an easy install! :3eyes:
How can they separate most important settings like EDID and DVI settings, unbelievable stuff going on there.

e2
btw earlier drivers restored the location of the desktop symbols, crimson does not for me, stuff like that makes me mad

 

Those are surviving pages of old CCC. That's why it still requires .Net.
One day, they'll have it completely transferred. Till then it is work in progress.

 

I'm kind of surprised to report that Crossfire is working basically ok for me in The Division now.

I was running on Borderless Windowed up until now due to the flickering and getting around 45-60 fps on average with settings roughly around High to Max with low-ish shadows.

Loading up the game on these drivers had the fps dropping to 20-30 on average in Borderless Windowed. Fearing the worse and expecting to need to go back to earlier drivers I thought I'd give Fullscreen a go. Not only did I get no flickering (which was terrible before) but I got back to by 45-60 fps on average, with no apparent stutter that others seem to be getting. Tried a bit of combat with random bad guy groups and had no problems.

Now admittedly I'm only using the basic method the of UPlay fps counter, but it definitely was playable and still good to look at, and I'm pretty fussy about stutter and graphics issues.

I've done nothing fancy at all with my setup. Used DDU to clear the old drivers and then just installed these new ones.

As my info says I'm running two 280X's.

So maybe there's hope that there will be a decent Crossfire profile soon enough that will actually give what it's meant to, proper positive scaling.

 

Any luck for FO4 crossfire? I've even tried the 1.5 beta, still a stuttering mess in CFX.

 

I posted a number of things to consider to make FO4 run smooth on Radeon CFX

http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=5261488&postcount=3

I run it on my 270x CFX (!!!) with 60FPS stable. No stutter.
But only on these exact settings.

And by the way. It run like that on 16.3.2 and on 16.4.1 as well.
It's just a matter of configuration. I bet it would run fine on 15.11.1 too.

 

Again this fight..
This is my problem with raptr

Compare the smothness.
Plays.TV/Raptr, might have a very low overhead on performance, but the end result isn't smooth, so for me is a no go.

 

16.3.2 vs 16.4.2 for me.

Idle temps with default fan speed is around 10c higher. Rebooted after installing these and went right into MSI afterburner and my temps were already at 70c.

Kicked in my fan profile and temps are still a few degrees higher than they were at idle before.

44-46c vs 50c now.

And I still have the problem of the RAM ramping up to full speed on the desktop when using more than one monitor.

Edit:
After a power of and power on, the temps are back to normal.

 

Good drivers for me, I test some games, fix the problem with mortal kombat x in level with rain with power efficiency On. Now 60 fps solid!
No problems in other games, Good fps in GTA V, ARMA 3... but in dark souls 3 I can not have constant 60 fps.. i have in some leves 40 / 52 / 60 fps.. is a problem with optimization or drivers?

 

Bear in mind that I'm running my 290xs on a 9590, so your cpu's single thread performance stomps all over mine, but I'll give it try.

Question tho---what "pre defined" profile do you have selected in that screenie?

 

Fallout4.exe

Basically the settings disable all NVIDIA stuff.
With ENBoost you get a Framelimiter and a Performance boost.
Because internal framelimiting (via iPresentinterval) seems not to
run smooth in certain cases. But yeah it's all in the post.

If it runs good with that .ini you can edit it and set X and Y to 2560x1440...
Unless you don't use VSR...

 

Another dumb question, but how are you starting fallout without steam stepping in and loading the launcher anyways?

 

rename the launcher.exe to a launcher.exe_bak (backup)
then rename fallout4.exe to the launcher.exe (dunno its fallou4launcher.exe, i believe, you will see right? )

ready to go

 

Ahhh, thanks...I think I might have actually done that in the past with fallout 3 with one of the many loaders/mods, but i couldnt remember.
