Download & Discuss AMD Catalyst 15.3 Beta Driver for Windows OS

If Win 10 supports hardware that only has win 7 drivers that would be great.
XP Mode in Win 7 worked/works to use scanners and printers that only has XP drivers support. A working solution done by MS to bypass when companies don't create drivers for new windows.

Or should one buy new peripherals whenever a new Win OS comes out? :no:

 

It's funny how a lot of people don't get that. There is no magic in the hardware of existing monitors that will allow the refresh rate to change on the fly. The good thing about AMD's implementation is that it is part of the VESA standard, and any company (monitor or GPU) can use it without paying extra fees (unlike Gsync).

All of the responses were vague at least. I expect us to get something out of all this commotion eventually. Another guy has VSR working with a 7950 by using the Win10 drivers, that implies that it works with software (you don't say). They say they want to support it for the R9 280/x, but I bet it will be a software implementation and they will leave the 7000series cards dead in the water.

 

If you want help fixing your system properly, post the crash dumps from C:\Windows\Minidump

Win8 or above, Take Ownership of folder and files first, if necessary.

 

This is a flat out lie.

The R9 280x and 79x0 have the exact same chip with a different BIOS configuration.
Some early R9's even had 79xx device ID's until the vendor bios updates were released, afterward the only difference was the GPU core revision which was renamed to XTL.

See you later AMD.

 

um.....you know the scaler is not part of the GPU, right?

 

I know we had our differences Phill Monster, but I believe we agree on this one.

Check out this.

TheMac: You know what he means, and now we also have proof that VSR can run just FINE on 7000 series hardware. Why are you still repeating something that is obviously false?

 

I hate to say this but the drivers posted here: http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=397877 have enabled VSR for my 7950's and it works fine...

 

i cant really comment on that, as i dont use win8, or a 7xxx card.

i was just pointing out the fact that the GPU being identical has no bearing on the scaler, as its a separate component.

 

Honestly I'm not aware of the in's and out's of a GPU but was told by AMDMatt that VSR isn't available for older cards because of lack of hardware. Basically VSR is doing what you can all do with CRU.

 

its current implantation is hardware yes and requires, certain scalers.

Perhaps they are experimenting with a software solution like DSR, i dont know.

 

That's right, so there is nothing to stop 7900 support is there??? Your argument is now invalid..

One thing companies should not do is lie to customers, and u'd think AMD would learn from recent events. Dunno why you're supporting them.....

 

hardly.

Having the same GPU does not mean you have the same scaler.

There are board and component revisions.

You are being silly.

 

Oh pleeeeaasssse. Tell me how board components matter? What board components?

I cant believe what I'm reading. :3eyes:

 

the scaler..

on the fricken pc board, NOT in the GPU.

round and round we go...

 

If the current implementation is hardware only, then how does it work for us? The point here is not the type of implementation, the point is having a corporate representative telling us that we can't get something for hardware reasons, while it works fine in a leaked driver.

Apart from the technical point, isn't there a moral one?

 

because it not the current implentation.

its a new one.

Thats just an educated guess however.

They did say they were exploring other options, perhaps this is one of them.

 

Do we know that for a fact though? You have a 290 right so is your VSR different to mine, if it is, how do we know?

 

i guess we dont really without someone poking into the code.

As a side note, it is patched win10 drivers.

does vsr show up in win10 on these?

 

Does enabling GPU up-scaling have an effect on VSR by the way, is it best on or off?

 

never used upscaling, i dunno.
