16.6.2 drivers available from AMD

The architecture looks quite new, in my layman's eyes it looks like it has the potential to improve a lot in utilization, and it's quite apparent on lower-resolution tests too.

Example:



It seems to be much more efficient but it gets resource (compute, ROP) limited at higher resolutions.

 

<3 much love

 

LOL.
No problem.

 

Atiapfxx.exe blob comparison between 16.6.1 and 16.6.2
(From cmd.exe - probably needs to be started with admin rights. - atiapfxx.exe -r -sys -s test.xml and a test.xml file will be created in the System32 folder or Syswow64 is you use a 64-bit OS, I simply then compare the new one with the one from the previous driver.)

Driver changed from 16.20.1025 to 16.20.1035

Witcher 3
Star Wars Battlefront
Hitman
Elite Dangerous - These had updated Crossfire profile properties.

Star Citizen
World of Tanks - These had Crossfire profiles added.

Not a huge change this time but it's not a big driver version jump either, mostly support for the 480 GPU and it's stuff (Like Wattman.) along with some new known issues both for other AMD GPU's and the 480 itself.

EDIT: As for the whole "Crossfire properties." well they look like this to use Witcher 3 as a example.

No idea at all what these flags (?) mean but AMD usually silently tweaks a few games between each driver release or adds new ones though usually when profiles are added it's generally mentioned in the release notes already.

EDIT:
http://forums.guru3d.com/showpost.php?p=5297400&postcount=869

Guess that's the result of whatever they changed so it seems to be working albeit with some glitches still.
(Of course the problem is also that Witcher 3 has been released for a fair while now and even if it's a Gameworks title slow support for good scaling can be very detrimental or how to say, I don't use CF/SLI myself but I can imagine only being able to use part of the full combined GPU's power must be frustrating though going by the above mess of flags or whatever Crossfire/SLI is probably a very complex system too.)

(Well "duh" I guess going by how even regular profiles likely have all sorts of tweaks and "hacks" to them too so add a second GPU or even a third or fourth and things get complex very fast unless the GPU vendor itself is part of the development process since early on.)

 

That's what I liked to know. I experience lot of framerate hiccups, (micro)stutters and stuff as well in TW3 still, on my R9 290X crossfire setup, even with the excellent scaling that it has.
So I can guess that still hasn't changed unfortunately :frown:

EDIT: Checked by myself just to be sure: The hitches are still there and get worse whenever detail is increased (i.e. VSR to 3200x1800, Hairworks ON). When I disable Crossfire fps is lower (but still acceptable, with Hairworks Off ofcourse, and at 'only' 1440p), but there are next to no hitches and stutters.

EDIT2: On a side note: the flickering in the menu's seems to have ALMOST disappeared.

 

Not again. uke2:

Battlefield™ 4 may experience crashes when using Mantle. As a work around users are suggested to switch to DirectX®11.

 

I don't get it, why so many known issues for the RX480 already...shouldn't this have happened a few days after release? If known, why not fixed before release... is this a case of not having the manpower or expertise?

 

better to have some known issues that are being worked on,
than issues that are being swept under a carpet / denied / not mentioned at all.

 

The RX 480 is part of a larger family. It makes sense that the driver might have the same issues as it does with other parts of that family, and it's generally good that they are acknowledged. It's also a new product and it's expected to have at least some initial weirdness as it reaches more and more people and release issues are ironed out.

 

Not worth it installing for us then?

 

Unless you need some fix this delivers...

 

STILL getting a detection driver error. Dammit.

Edit: Found this work-around for anyone encountering the same issue. Use at your own risk of course but everything worked for me fine afterward with no ill effects.

Ugh, guessing there's still no fix for not being able to enable VSR over HDMI (at least, for TVs). Unless they'd fix it but not mention it.

 

Sweet, I am balls deep in TW3 right now, am a bit excited to see what improvements for xfire this driver brings! I get some stutter right now, but its acceptable, its not until I use VSR that its simply unplayable. Lets see what happens!

Keep em coming AMD! I had black screens and "no signal" for so long, and I have only had 1 in the last month, thats what I call progress.

 

Crossfire is much improved in TW3. I still have some flickering on the map and in the inventory, but much better than it was. Game has very little stutter now, although I still cant use VSR without it hitching every 2-3 seconds.

I am happy.

 

Il say to try it. I dont have numbers but it seems to me that it brings some improvements, based on 4 games that I tried. Certainly is not worse than the previous one.

 

Anyone with Elite Dangerous able to comment on Radeon performance in that? Hard to find places that do proper benchmarking using this game I am on the cusp of buying a 480 - when the aftermarket ones come out, but I don't really want a card that runs poorly in one of my primary games

 

Well considering 290x does this



You should be fine with rx 480 in that.

 

Any chance we can somehow enable "WattMan" for older cards or an official support coming later ?
