    for me its still there.
    but in case you looked for it because of xfire.
    xfire is now activated inside the global game profile.

    I used DDU to clean the system as well. Still it is missing.

    Found solution for Radeon Additional Settings.
    Tried reinstalling again no luck, tried updating from 16.5.1 no luck.
    But thats just a shortcut from Crimson to CCC.

    Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\AMD\CNext\CCCSlim and run CCC.exe.

    Edit:
    WOW OK im blind.
    If you choose bottom Preferences tab there is shortcut for Radeon Additional Settings :bang:

    Yes found it under Preferences tab. I remember it also used to be in Display tab on the top right. But they added shortcut to Display Color instead which takes you to OS Display calibration thing.

    I am pretty sure it was present under both Display and Preferences tab, just that I was more used to launching it from the Display tab and forgot about the preferences tab.

    Anyway looks like they are trying to get rid of the old CCC, slowly but surely.

    Edit: Looks like they got rid of the Crossfire tab from the old CCC as well. The option to enable CF is now under Global Settings.

    No CF profile for Overwatch in 16.5.2, I sure hope we're getting a new driver before release with a profile. They already missed the open beta, I hope they don't miss the release as well. Going by AMD's track record I'm not optimistic, but I guess there's no hurry right now since the game is only going to be available in 2 weeks.

    It's been pretty weird seeing the OW beta correctly identify my CF setup in-game, but only actually run on 1 card.:bang:

    Seems 16.5.2 updated all the driver versions.
    2D: 8.1.1.1558
    Direct3D: 9.14.10.1197
    OpenGL: 6.14.10.13440
    Mantle: 9.1.10.123 (why are they still updating this o_O)

    Can anyone else with 3dmark please test?

    I wouldn't get my hopes up for CF, id Tech 5 fundamentally did not work with multi-GPU (CF or SLI) and I wouldn't be surprised if that's still the case with this one.

    You are totally wrong. Both APIs are not exactly the same API, Vulkan originates from Mantle but is not exactly the same thing. You can't code mantle program and make it work as vulkan, they use different sets of instructions but both, and with dx12, all three of them have the same purpose as APIs.


    Also idtech5 games had lock to 60fps, idtech6 doom has no fps lock anymore.

    I know that amd gave the mantle code to them for vulkan?

    isn't that right? so we are telling the same thing differently :p

    They got a Vulkan renderer coming up, but I bet it won't do it either (no word of it sofar).
    The lack of multi GPU in dx12 and Vulkan doesn't seem to change much for now and it looks like devs simply arn't bored with it.

    Mantle became part of Vulkan, but they're separate entities. I'd think it strange if A. AMD still called Vulkan "Mantle", and B. both drivers had separate version numbers, but were referring to the same thing.

    I did the test and got exactly the same as well. My CPU is also Intel.

    They still have not fixed Virtual Super Resolution (VSR) working with HDTV's for a lot of us. When we click the VSR toggle to on, it quickly turns on for 1 second and then turns off.

    This has been broken since Crimson 6.3. The last known VSR working for HDTV's was AMD Radeon Software Crimson 16.2.1. All drivers from 6.3 onward has no VSR working for a huge amount of people that use a large screen HDTV. Pretty messed up because tons of people on reddit has been reporting this there and of course AMD Support forums. Bummer, really sucks not being able to use it for months now.

    I currently use a 55inch Panasonic Plasma. Lots of people with LCD's have the same issue along with those that use their home theater receiver for HDMI in/out.

    But... did they report the problem via amd's report form? Forums, unofficial and official are not ways to report issues ;-) Share with them link to report form:

    I play on TV and I had this exact problem with early Crimsons but fixed it with DDU and reinstall.

    Anyone know if this driver works in the latest Windows 10 preview build? I know the previous does not.
